Gaming system + peripherals!

Hi,

Does this need to be prebuilt?

I think for gaming your money would be better suited on Z97 + a higher end GPU(s), and perhaps looking at 1440p instead of 4K, which is still very much in it's infancy right now
 
Hi and welcome.

Does this has to be pre built?

OcUK can probably build a system that is individual parts for £60 for you.

Need an operating system?
 
Yes they will build it.

Show them and see what they say, ask in the customer services section.

Nope

Ok So the deal is, the warranty sticker is essentially there to put off new/inexperienced users from opening the system

I have spoken with Raijintek at length about this as I saw the WV sticker on the unit and gasped myself.

The CEO of Raijintek has basically said that they made the decision to put it on there to stop RMAs because of leaks and improper use.

Whilst the unit is sealed and perfectly safe for a novice user to install, the addition of the dyes into the system is something that should only be tackled by a more experienced system builder.

Essentially, if the unit is damaged because you opened it up and messed it up, then it will be classed as Warranty Void.

If you open it up, add the colour of your choice and then close it back up. then you're golden.

If you are unsure about opening the system or are a real novice then don't bother opening it and just enjoy the performance, but for an experienced user or someone who doesn't need to worry, then you can go right ahead and mod it with the included dyes.

I would go as far to say, that if you wanted to empty it and use something like mayhems pastel in there, then you could.

In fact, I will be offering a Tech Labs version later today with pre filled custom Coolants for people who don't want to bother opening the unit.






Alphacool made the eisberg originally for CoolerMaster. The actual unit doesnt look much different but their UK rep assures me that the pump and internals are different.

I asked if they have sorted the mounting hardware and contact plate leak issues but the question was skirted around.

It isnt something we are looking to bother with again now we have the Triton.

A little further down the line, we will look at offering custom Tritons with different Radiators etc.

Quoted from the store page:
"Customer Notice:
The unit comes with a Warranty Void Sticker covering the fill port on the main unit. This is to prevent novice users from opening the system. By opening the unit to add the dye, the manufacturer assumes that you have a level of expertise required to carry out the task."
It also states about voiding warranty to use the dye in the instruction manual. It seem to defeat the point of the unit some what IMO. Oh well nvm, I can live with it.

So if the OP is inexperienced (explains the pre-built) then this may not be the cooler for him.

A couple of deals are black friday so might be an idea to come back just before you order!

Well I never ended up ordering this, would the above still be OK or are there any better deals? :)

There might be better prices on certain things, depending on whether they are on offer or not. Component wise then nothing much is different than it was in November.

If you put a basket together then we can check it out before you buy it.

The other option is to go AMD R9 290/290X and Freesync.
