Love it mate! You should get black and white cables like mine, would suit it well.
So have you got 3 fans in and 3 fans out? Whats it like for dust?
What temps are you getting and if you did it again would you change anything?
Cheers
Thanks bud, and yes 3 fans in and 3 out, currently running at 60% and the pump at 100%, it's dead silent haha. The only noise i hear is the stupid coil whine on these cards. It's not as bad as some might think but I am very OCD so it hurts
Temps are good, haven't got exact figures at the moment but my temp sensor displays a max of 40C on the water temp under heavy loads/gaming/stress test. GPUs never go above 46C, CPU is random highest I Saw it was 72C on RealBench and that's when it was OCed at 4.65ghz. My room is quite hot tho, as I love sitting in shorts in the winter
I wouldn't change much, maybe if i had more money then I'd have gone for a big caselabs case and a lot more rad space and fans, to run them at even lower speeds but thats purely because i want to not because i need it.
I am actually half tempted to sell this machine as a whole, bought a supercharger kit for my E46 M3 and it's coming up to a slightly higher figure to get it all installed and mapped than I thought it would.
But we ll see. Doubt I ll find many buyers for something like this, it ain't cheap haha.
Yeah I know what you mean.
Well because I like the quality and looks of bitspower. I know Barrow use the same OEM manufacturer but their o-rings are of worse quality and i don't think they have as wide selection of fittings?
Fittings were the honestly not as expensive as I thought they would be, probably because i didn't need a lot.
Is that true though? I know that's been said many times, but I've read in a few places recently that it actually isn't the case. I don't know, I'm just repeating what I've read elsewhere.
Sweet on the CPU! ~ I tried to manually de-lid my CPU but I got scared after I couldn't fit the blade in between the IHS and the PCB (that space is ridiculously tight!)
also, now i'm slightly scared... your ASUS VIII Formula started killing itself? - mine (same mobo) has been running perfect since I installed it so far... (plz don't jinx it Drazek)
believe it or not I actually replaced my MSI Z170 XPower Titanium motherboard, in favor of the ASUS VIII Formula because I wanted the cool RGB effects and it fit my build colour scheme better! - that MSI mobo is VERY good though, I didn't have any issues with it and i'm planning to use it for my partner's new PC build. - so i'm sure it'll do you proud
You're build's looking pretty sweet so far! - try not to sell it
