Then you'll have to wait for EK to get them made i'm afraid

EDIT:
unless you go second hand

mystes · 7 Jan 2012 at 22:56

There is nothing on fleebay.

Or maybe I could add it later on. When they become available.

yes. not essential AT ALL

I really wanted to get this loop finished. Still running on stock cooler

. I may have chance to get 2nd hand tj07. Should I abandon mine 800d and get tj07? As far I remember, 480 rad will fit at the bottom of tj. So could swap 360 which I did send back with 480

Cleeecooo · 7 Jan 2012 at 23:04

yes!!!

mystes · 11 Jan 2012 at 21:06

Backplates are back in stock at ekwb

. How to persuade OcUK to get them for me from ek?

Cleeecooo · 11 Jan 2012 at 21:38

Post in the CS section

OcUK also have 2 in stock

mystes · 21 Jan 2012 at 16:41

Some more parts.

mystes · 21 Jan 2012 at 16:43

Should I put fans in pull or push. Case is Corsair 800D - 3 GT are going on top. They will intake air to the case. Just don't know which way its going to be better - to put them on top or under rad?

Cleeecooo · 21 Jan 2012 at 23:13

doen't really matter. I'd do pull though

mystes · 22 Jan 2012 at 23:31

I did some test with my fans and new fan controller. I used this to connect 3 fans into one port on my lamptron. And what a surprise? Fan controller will not let me control the speed of fans,and even worst, it doesn't show the actual speed.
What should I use to connect 3 fan into one header on my lamptron?

Cleeecooo · 22 Jan 2012 at 23:42

Use a fan splitter, but not that one. Then again, that one should've worked aswell. You didn't don something silly like plug the molex in did you?

mystes · 23 Jan 2012 at 06:46

I did plug in molex in, because without it fans wouldn't move at all. I think I gonna fiddle around 4 pin connection in the splitter. Probably will have to replace cables in the connector.

Finally finished my setup. It took longer that I did expect it take. Some images. Step by step - give a take
