Im gonna have an issue when I do mine xD as im going to have a 580 in mine so its going to be longer then your 670 :O plus Ill need to exchange my mechanical for 2 SSd's also to allow for the pump :O.

Oh noes lots of tinkering in coming lol!

My final system onkeys going to be a I5 3570K - 8gb Patriot ram and a 580GTX twin frozer

MSI sent me back an upgrade!

I love ur system atm

those braided cables will make it look sex.

Agree with the compression fittings. When I got back into water I thought oo they look good and everyone recommended them.

Tried them and they were a royal PITA to fit. Have sinced swapped to barbs and it makes life so much easier!

What temps are you getting on your 670 out of interest?

45deg @load.

Cheers, gives me a ball point figure to aim for when I do mine

If you do what I done and have the radiator moved over to the side - you should be fine with the longer card.

I've now moved the front rad up slightly and shoe horned a 2TB HD on the floor underneath it. Sandwhiched between the odd bit of foam to dampen any vibrations.

It's in there - but it's tight!! Also a bit awkward to get the side panel on on the LHS where the pump is as I needed to put foam between the pump and the HD.

This pushed the pump out slightly which then in turn was vibrating off the side panel. Another bit of foam though and all sorted. Just a squeeze to get the side panel back on with all the foam.

The reason I done this was the computer was taking a bit of time to boot with the drives connected in an external enclosure via USB3 for some reason.

I may look for some sort of NAS enclosure.

Hey bro howmuch was your watercooling again around 300 right?

Monkeyspaz5000 · 26 Aug 2012 at 15:02

All listed in the 1st post of the thread mate.

Allnamestaken · 26 Aug 2012 at 15:57

Sorry lol im just being lazy I think bro.

Hi Monkeyspaz5000, could you tell me if the XSPC 670 backplate covers the edge of the PCB? (or even better post a pic showing the card side on)

Can't decide whether to order it or not.

Cheers.

edit - I found a pic that shows what I want so don't worry about it.

Update -

I flipped the fans so all rad fans are intake and fitted a 20mm Yate loon fan as an exhaust.

Only problem is that it makes a horrible buzzing/clicking sound when undervolted.

I think I'll just let the air escape naturally from the side vent and rear vent.

Hey,

Just wondering what are the usb ports for on the fan controller? it is necessary to use them?

Monkeyspaz5000 · 7 Sep 2012 at 15:53

To allow to control it through software.

I simply unplugged them from the recon altogether and just control the fans manually.

Well I've set them at what speed I want and left them at it.

Fantastic little build mate! If i had an ITX board i would have gone for this aswel.

I also wish they did that glow lit waterblock for the 680

, the 680 version is too plain compared to the 670 and 690 block.

Monkeyspaz5000 · 11 Sep 2012 at 00:53

It's a good little build, although I'm already thinking of changing case again!! :/

im thinking the same really, i love my case but would prefer a little more expansion room, what case were you thinking?

I've had a switch 810 in the past which I think is too big.

Thinking of the Fractal Arc Midi.

Could fit a 360 and a 240 rad in there.

Yo bud you was looking for a new MATX case I was going to suggest the Tj08 Temjin that would be my ideal matx case it also supports MITX and you can easily get a dual gpu settup in that and good cable managment and watercooling.

Plus its sexy.

Apem · 13 Sep 2012 at 16:36

is there filters for the intakes?

Allnamestaken · 13 Sep 2012 at 16:44

Yeah there are.

Don't think you can get enough raddage in one to cool SLI cards and a CPU.
