^ my reasoning is that the SPs have vastly greater static pressure stats, which is what you're looking for when you push through a rad/heatsink

Yeah i know mate but if i fitted the 120's in the front i couldnt fit the 140's onto the rad.

Unless i bought all 120's... Hmmm

Is your SSD mounted with velcro/double sided tape, or is that screwed in? I think I'm going to need to do something similar with my SSD but was hoping to bolt it in rather than stick it in, and that looks pretty neat...

Just been looking back at pics, my god that 670 is small with the block on, looks about the size of my soundcard! Good stuff!!

Got 2 x AF140's in front of rad then 2 x SP120's behind

How did you manage to mount 140's in front of the 240 rad?

There are mounts in the front for 140's and 120's

nice work looks clean too.

Cheers guys

Looks stunning man. Really clean, loving the blue with the black. I'm really not a fan of the new EK design with all the circles, but each to their own eh? hehe

Yes but how did you mount the rad behind them after bud?

Very nice build by the way love it.

xtremedetailz · 7 Aug 2012 at 18:19

I mounted the rad first with no fans then fitted the 140's up front then the 120's on the rad.

Can you take a pic of your 8-pin motherboard plug? I've got all my bits here but not doing anything until at least the weekend...I've got a different mobo but should give me an idea of how that fits...looks pretty close but still tidy...

stuie · 15 Aug 2012 at 11:59

Wow this is exactly the sort of build im thinking of doing but with an i5 3570k and to 670s instead, could you put up those detailed build pics so I get an idea on how everything fits

xtremedetailz · 15 Aug 2012 at 13:35

Well guys... Lost all my recent pictures of my build along with a lot of old pictures to to me dropping my hard drive and killing it.

I have now changed the layout, res, fan controller etc etc due to not being able to get the bubble out of my loop.. Maybe my DDC ultra was too powerful.

Have modded the case too few cuts for the rads..

Anyway its done and now its perfect

Very nice mate - really clean looking build, like the colours, and fat tubing is defo the way forward IMO

What pump have you got now? I'm thinking about doing a watercooled build soon, and I think the components will be somewhat similar to yours in terms of resistance, so would be good to know what pump is giving you the desired results.

stuie · 15 Aug 2012 at 15:16

was the modding required to fit the rad or was it only cause you swapped it from back to front?

Only to swap it round mate, no modding needed to fit.

I have a DDC pump but not the 3.2 version which is the most powerful DDC out.

It was causing too much turbulence in my res as i have a very free flowing loop.

The 3.2 is ideal for high restriction loops.

another quick question, would yotu recommend these rads in the case with a pull or after reading the other thread about push pull, would a 60mm rad with a push setup be better?
