1 x Switch 810 going in MM with Rads installed

A 560 would surely fill out the bottom nicely...

Edit: Only 12KG dry weight too, to give you an idea of how light that is, my dry weight is 26KG!!

What rad lay out are you going for?

Was thinking 2 x 480 to start with

I'd have a better measure up when you get it before buying the 560, I just had a read of the manual for the case, it says the bottom can hold either quad 120 or tri 140, no mention of quad 140...

I'll be putting it together b4 I order anything else for it

Just tried my QDC's - they don't lock together

I collected them from OCUK on Friday, they confirm correct pairing to avoid this :mad:

Was thinking of 2 of these as your correct a 560 won't fit

This will be a slow build as funds are tight now - she wants her new bathroom :eek:

A tough choice but I'd go with the black ICE rads, they have a really nice gloss black finish to them

Whats the part codes on the QDC's? iirc all my QDC's start something like 'VL3-xxx'

VL4 M13 and VL4 F13

They look like they should fit, afaik the start of the code (VL3, VL4 etc..) is what determines compatibility.

In what way do they not lock together?

whyscotty · 31 Mar 2013 at 22:31

After twist locking them they just pull apart

That shouldn't be possible as there's notches on the male connector, unless they've somehow broke off. Make sure your pushing them in fully before twisting, it can take a bit of force.

That was the first thing I checked, the lugs are present they just don't engage/lock

pgi947 · 31 Mar 2013 at 22:43

Can you stick a pic up of them as together as you can?

Also the VL4 codes, is that whats on the packaging for them or whats actually stamped on the fittings? It sounds like you have one VL4 and one VL3.

Same codes etched on the fittings themselves

Its no biggy, I'll just send them back.

Just annoyed that I didn't try them in the shop

I just trusted the person who served me as I did ask to confirm matching sets

If that's the case then seems like they don't match :/

Just to be sure, you're rotating clockwise right? And give them a good push before twisting, I was surprised how much force they needed. If you lightly push them in the notch won't be in far enough to lock in place.

They push all the way in, lugs and all

Anyone know of a 10 or 12 way fan controller, otherwise I'll just get 2 x 6 way controllers

Better off getting one controller and using splitters. You seem to have a healthy budget take a look at the aquero range by aqua computer.

When pushing them in line the notches up with where the arrow is

Should be easy to tell if they fit properly

Done that, appreciate all the help.

They just don't match up

pgi947 · 31 Mar 2013 at 23:08

Splitters and an fc5, enough watts per channel to control each rad on a single channel
