Case looks cool, but what about airflow for the rad? front mount I guess?

rick fowler · 20 Mar 2017 at 22:12

CapitalOne · 20 Mar 2017 at 22:14

Well if it cools ok you have a nice bargain system there...I run a 1060 6gb mini in my mitx and at @1080 it's pretty good. Top work. When can we see build pics??

rick fowler · 20 Mar 2017 at 22:18

VKleita · 21 Mar 2017 at 17:59

Everything looks ok from here

rick fowler · 22 Mar 2017 at 18:03

thoughts?

Think you need 8 fittings not 6. 2 each for CPU, GPU, Radiator and Pump.

Also have a look at barrow fittings, they are cheaper and you can get them in black/red too. 1 Litre of that fluid might also not be enough. If you care about staining you might also want to look at the new non-stain dyes mayhems released.

cheers for the spot with the fittings,still to this day i get confused with em,yeah im starting to sway with the 90 degree type fittings and keeping it straight lines if possiable seen on here but darn cant remember the fittings name
yeah i check the fluid out,im not rushing this one as want it to be my best ever water build since my lian li custum build
