Build log Corsair Obsidian 800D

OK Note in from the postroom, looks like me 250 Res has arrived

 

[littlepuppy]

OCUK have sent me a second hand pump so its going back......

See around the outlet its very shiny and looks quite well used...

Pretty dissapointed...

There are also cracks round the outlet hole as well...

Was this sold to you as new or b-grade stock?

 

[littlepuppy]

Sold as "new"

 

[Datamonkey]

Not good,

Hows the 250 res looking?

Plenty of space for it?

Will the clamps that come with it fit onto the motherboard tray without drilling?
When nosing around inside my 800d i noticed a couple of screw holes which may prove suitable. Location nuts for an eatx mobo. but not sure if they were too high or such.

 

[littlepuppy]

OK ill add a pic to show how ive done it

Some doctoring was required.

Nice build, shame about the pump though!
Not a fan of the DFI color sceme

 

[littlepuppy]

lol

DFI is a bit like marmite matey....

Ok another retailer has despatched my fan controller and SC as OCUK messed up the order, so it should be full steam ahead this weekend

 

[littlepuppy]

OK flushed the rad and tested the pump

Got an XSPC pump ultra 18w to replace the dodgy one sent by OCUK
