[xtremedetailz]

Hey guys just ordered 5lires of Mayhems Ultra Pure and a EK GTX 580 Nickel/Acetel EN revision Should be here by wednesday or thursday.

My Watercooling should be finished hopefully by the end of next week, now that i have ordered my last bits and modded my Fractal Arc Midi to fit the 120.3 rad in the roof its all taking shape.

Pictures to follow next week

Well i got the 5ltrs as it comes in one big container, and cheaper

I am going to flush the rads using the mayhems ultra and any other rads i get.

At the moment i have a EK 120.3 rad in the roof of my Fractal and a Stealth 280 up front.

I am really looking for a 120.3 Thermochill up top and a 120.2 Thermochill up front but will wait untill i get some used ones off MM.

Now for the build itself i have got :

EK Supreme HF Full Nickel Block with 1155 TRUE backplate and Black easymount system
EK GTX580+ Full Nickel and Acetal (EN revision) waterblock
EK 580 Backplate (black)
DDC Ultra with XSPC top V3
Phobya Balancer 150 (black Nickel) Res
EK Coolstream XT 120.3 Radiator (up top)
Black Ice GT Stealth 280 (in front)
Phobya Compressions (black nickel)
1/2" ID - 3/4" OD Thermochill Flex Hose

Right guys most of my bits turned up today so i cracked on.

Still need some fans for the top rad, get some more tygon as it was much nicer to work with than the thermochill stuff.
Also gonna get some angled 45degree fitting to help with tubing (had to use a couple of normal barbs) some bitfenix black cable extentions (wherever has them all in stock) and a antivibration mount for the pump at the bottom.

I also thought the EK XT rad was leaking so was gonna spit my dummy out but seems ok for now.
Next on the list is Thermochill, XSPC RX or the SR1 rads in both the 120.3 and 120.2.

Pictures for now.

Comp has been on for just over an hour now.

Just ran 3dmark11 and got these temps with this score.

CPU and GPU both at stock speeds.

It's awesome

thanks mate

 

[xtremedetailz]

looks really good, is your top rad held on with cable ties??

Yeah for now mate when i got the rad off MM it didnt come with any screws so couldnt mount the fans on the rad until i get some matching screws.

Besides i will be replacing the fans and all the tubing very soon as in next week so will just mount it properly then (when i get some screws).

nice job looks pretty stealth as well i like it.

Loving the cable ties as well ghetto.

Haha ghetto, love it.

Looking at thermochill rads mate

Much better quality tbh.. I have accounted for the depth in my cutting and it should just fit in the top.

In the front i am not using fans as it has the 2 x 140mm fan blowing through from the front panel so i got buckets of room.. Hell i was thinking of getting 2 x 120.2 thermochill rads one straight after the other I dont know how it would work tho as i have never seen it done before.

Thanks
