Monsta 500R - The further adventures of Petey

Yeah i love the chunky look of them, overclockers will have to send out chunky chocolate bars with um when they start selling um, harribo just wouldnt do them justice. :)
 
very nice is it just me tho, when i look atthe spout coming off of the pump to go back up it looks like in the pics it isnt pushed onto the barb to far or is it just a trick of the uv light?

Yeah, Alphacool certainly found a way to make rads sexy :D Wait till Nickolp1974 builds his 420/420/360 uber rig using white monsta's. Gonna be awesome.
Complimentary chunky kitkats would be a nice touch eh?

Heh, the tube's pushed all the way down :) It's partly a trick of the light and probably more because there's a hose clamp covering the bottom half.

Btw, anyone have any idea why the res led's have gone dim? It's not a power draw issue afaik, as I put a wattage meter on there and it could be pulling 80-360w and they're dim regardless.
They only share the molex with the cathodes and this started before I did the UV. They were nice and bright when I first installed them...
 
c'mon petey get it right, 2x 480 monsta's + 1 360, just need to pay for my hols this month then i need a spare grand for case and extra watercooling bits, and will make do with just the 1 card until the new breed comes out. ;)

LOL, it's easy to underestimate the monsta's :D

indeed it is :D

first thing i will be buying is the 480's incase they go out of stock and then possibly make a stand for them and then i can incorperate in my loop. so that will be 2x480+1x360+1x240 monsta's, OVERKILL...... Hell yeah :D

How it looks now, bit messy but i keep changing stuff, 3930 coming tom, so need to drain again as cpu block is nearly hard plumbed to vrm's

Overkill FTMFW! :D

Watch your flow rate though. I found that while performance was still fine, there was a bit of a drop off in pressure when I added the other 240 at the back.
 
flow rates!!!! gonna be having 2 D5's feeding it all, so should be ok ;)

pic of my rig on previous reply, in spoilers, dont want to be spamming your thread;)
 
Nice!
That's a great build already. Gonna be bloody epic when you're done :)

Don't worry about the spam, I'm happy to see more monsta action.
Somehow, that 360 looks even more massive in your case than mine!
 
The ones on the 360 are... One of the 240's had one half peeled off on arrival. I managed to catch the edge of the sticker on the other side and it's now slightly curled at the edge.
I'm selling that one, so I've had to order some stickers.

Also had a lump on the finish of the top 240. You can just about about see it in a couple of the pics earlier in the thread. It's on the top edge.
 
Here's the custom cables I got for a very reasonable price. Shame the green isn't uv, but hey...
In hindsight, I would've done them slightly different. Happy as they are though.



Really hate that usb3 front panel cable...

they look spot on, where they from?

Even though OcUK don't do a custom sleeving service, I probably shouldn't name the site here ;)
They cost £25 posted and were with me 2 days after ordering. You can specify your colours in any order you like.
I'll trust you the details.

I think pgi may have used the same place for his cables.
