First, the water blocks for the mpower have arrived! Yeh! However, for some odd reason it's still being processed through the Customs.. for over 8 days now.. it must be delivered next week or something is wrong.
Can't remember if I already mentioned this. but I had the need to get another psu, this time a slightly beefier to proof any future SLI action + I needed a psu to work on while my X-560 powers the temp rig! So, I hop onto local classifieds and found a Seasonic P-760 that's pretty much brand new and picked it off for nearly half price! Slightly unfortunate, it had a small cosmetic issue, result of slightly mis-assembling the psu while in factory. TBH, it's a really small issue, something that the casual builder might not even stop to look at, but being the nit-pick that I am, I did haha. Seasonic were awesome to quickly cure this issue under warranty and express sent from Taiwan a new power supply! I still can't believe they did that. I should get it delivered to my door on Sunday morning.
Also someone @ OCN SS club offered to send these once I posted:
I might use this new sticker to replace the spec side as I use this psu with the fan facing down.
In the process of sleeving my Seasonic P-760 (new platinum series) I found out crucial info all should know prior to sleeving / making cables for this psu. Seasonic has changed the gpu sockets from the dual 12-pin gpu sockets to 4x 8-pin sockets which are all fit to either CPU or a GPU. There isn't a dedicated cpu socket anymore! Now, to add to that, Seasonic has changed these sockets so they do not correspond to the standard EPS! I made a picture for you to see the differences:
* OLD - X series, standard 8-pin EPS. NEW - P series (platinum):
Cleaning the original SS P-760 connectors since I found out my spare standard EPS don't fit:
Started working on the cables.. well, first one is the sata power for the hdd. The sata data is already made since the beginning of the project so:
Another small update...
I got this Koolance pump controller for free so figured it won't hurt using it... I opened it up to inspect it and found this:
Well, the cap looked a bit damaged so decided to replace it! Soldering off one leg was enough to make it come off completely, meaning the other leg was broken so this was a REAL damaged cap. Can't figure how they stuck a 'QC PASSED' sticker on the side of it haha! I removed the sticker of course.
Next: mounting this thing in the case. Need to figure out the wiring, etc'.
Cleaned the pump engine from dirt and stickers so it doesn't stick through the bitspower modkit:
