3930k COOLING LOOP
- Thread starter whyscotty
- Start date
Thanks for the piccy's,
Had a look at the website, I do like the look of them.
This one I do think would fit the bill - MAGNUM STH10
Don't mind the cost of the case it's the import duty etc that puts me off
Yeah i agree but you will never need to buy another case again and you will know you have one of the best if not the best watercooling cases money can buy.
Its also unique as hardly anyone has them in the UK or even Europe
Nice
Build quality look up to the usual Corsair high-end standard?
Also if cramming a 900D with a lots of rads and blocks, I'd suggest giving consideration to moving to dual pumps in series, my single D5 is really struggling with an 8 component loop.
Excuse my lack of knowledge here -
Is it as simple as just adding a 2nd pump such as this ?

Or would having 2 loops be a wiser/better option ?
I was told pumps in series would be better as the higher head pressure vs dual loops would yield better results while giving redundancy if one pump were to fail.
Yep just add a pump so it would start res>pump>pump.
I'll be setting up dual d5's next weekend so I'll let you know how much improvement I see.

This is the pump/res I use and the quote below gives an idea of the performance of two D5s.

Had a look at this, it is a tempting option.
I wonder if they would swap the rad for one of these

If so, then it would be a great option

I would certainly ask, afaik the kits are made up from stock OcUK have rather then come in a big XSPC box like the EK kits, though Kaap should be able to confirm. If so it shouldn't be totally impossible to change the radiator over.
IF they can't, buy the above kit, flog the AX360, should have no bother selling it given its one of the top performing radiators on the market. You're essentially getting the rad, fittings and tubing for free in those kits.
Good point, never looked at it that way.
Don't know if I can wait for the 900
Been having a look at the XSPC H2 again and its growing on me
I like it, finding stock on the other hand...
Last time I looked even XSPC didn't have stock so I don't know if its going to make way for a rev.3 or if they are just awaiting stock. Probably a good idea to give their support an email to find out

I think OCUK put the kits together, I have quite a collection of spare pump parts now where OCUK have put these kits together from other stock items.
It is worth asking them if they can swap the rads, its in their interests to make a sale.
ooo found stock at a few places now, wasn't any last week, I looked
Remember if you do buy it, you have to buy the 5.25 bay covers separate
Yep
This was one of the reasons why I asked about dual loops
You mentioned rev3? - new version due out?
Nope, not that I know of anyhow, they were just quite swift in releasing the rev.2 (know as the +/Plus) after some flaws were pointed out in the first case. And the first revision looked like pinhead from hellraiser
With me not seeing stock for a while I just presumed they might have been refining something on it.
An LD build and possibly an H2+ build going on at the same time (you and Kaap) makes me want to push my phobya monstrosity in front of a train

I think I may go for it, just need to work out the extra's I need.
Rad brackets, blanks etc

I'd go for it if i was you scotty ( and had 3 Titans ) the net will be flooded with very similar 900D builds as is always the case with corsair cases
