Kraken or alternative?

I'm thinking he means behind them outside the case not In front of them , I could be wrong though :)
Meant behind the cards in front of the hdd cages, though tbh mate i have tried the method you describe too.:) But neither have been that great for my setup in sig. Looks like a side fan mod is my only option.
 
The case side has two 120mm mounts right over the GPUs. Thing is that whilst they will feed cold air to the blowers they won't stop the blowers spinning up.

It's actually looking like Corsair will be shipping out the N780 soon so will deffo hold out for that :)
 
Just remember you still need to use the two blower fans from your Titans with the HG10. Although hopefully this time you wont need to run them at 100%. :D

Thats handy, im toying with the idea of getting a sheet of acrylic and just making a temporary side panel with a fan cut out. Wont need a peice to cover the whole area of the side panel. The 5.25 bays and hdd bays on the primo are all sheeted off. So ill just butt it up against that part. Would save the bother of cutting the stock panel.

 
Hey guys. Well after doing some poking around it seems that the USA and AUS are going to be stocking the Corsair brackets in late Feb. This is absolutely awesome news, as it means the UK will follow suit :D yay !

OK really good news. It seems my studying the parts for hours by staring at them made them all do exactly what I wanted them to do :D

So first up the grill.



Then eye it up...



OK now I know what bars I need to cut out. Tin snips !



Then file down the edges. Sadly I can't find the pot of black paint so they're going to have to be spray painted when the weather warms up. It's OK for now though, I don't even have the brackets yet.



And finally... Tadaaaaa !



It all went together exactly as I had envisioned it to ! massive sigh of relief.. Now it's literally ready to be bolted in. Well, once I braid the pump wires purple it will be ready :D
 
Won't the bottom aio huff n puff n gurgle fitted in that orientation andy, don't the pipes flow properly only when at the bottom?

TBH people have always said that but I ran one like that perfectly on my old Alienware as it didn't have room at the top to hold that little extra bit of rad.

In all honesty Tom the things are completely air free so it really shouldn't matter. If they burble that usually means they're leaking.

Edit. Quick look around the net and...





And how I run mine in my 8 core Ivy rig...



As I say they should be bled and completely and totally air free, so orientation shouldn't matter unless they're faulty or leaking.

Quick update guys... Well February came and went and no G10 N780. However, I've been assured by a reliable source that they should be shipping at the end of March.

So it's the waiting game.....
 
Andy wish id seen this earlier have loads of left over watercooling gear in the loft that you could use for some ghetto modding PM me up and i will have a dig about.

Will do mate, and thanks I appreciate that !

Just a quick update. OCUK (DAMN YOU !!) had the Kraken G10 for a mouth watering £19.99. That coupled with free shipping and my eternal impatience has netted me two and they should be here soon.

Currently selling off some old PC gear, so basically will have the funds spare to buy about 40 little heatsinks lol. I counted earlier, TB has 12 memory modules and I would need another 8 for the fets. So I will be sorting something out on that front.
 
Message received mate will contact you once ive been in the cave...give me a nudge Sunday to remind me :)

Hmm I'm tempted too! What you planning for the VRM's?
 
Damn you Andy!! Just ordered one myself as I bought the heatsinks for it ages ago on the MM. Have been waiting for a price drop, now I just need an AIO cooler to put in it...
 
surely due to fan design the corsair one would be the worst choice

ahh well nvm I see you went kraken.

Don't blame me bro, blame OCUK. Rotten sods they are :D

Not sure on the fet cooling but tbh I need so many that it's not economical ordering them from the UK as I'll get scalped so I will prolly order from the little dude in China or HK then suffer the two week wait :D

I think like me you're thinking "Still has the blower fan". Took me a while to realise you just set it to 30% in AB or EVGAP and leave it :)

At the price I paid for the Krakens I don't mind binning them if the Corsair one ever arrives :)

Or take a look at 'GPUCool' over on overclock.net. Cracking AIO adapters and backplates. Not sure if the guy does a Titan variant, but I'll have a check..
 
I should be good dude cheers. I'm going to mod the Krakens as TBH? not really a fan of how they look. That reminds me, need to order a couple of black 92mm fans. Good of NZXT to assume you want a white fan with their black adapter :rolleyes:
 
Ive put a kraken on my 980 the ither day works brilliantly.
25c idle temps in a 22c house.
Load 45c down from 65c
