My First PC Build: Project Overkill!

The stock 2x 120s

Are the H100 stock fans not a bit loud? From what i've read they aren't ideal. I'm looking at either a full WC setup or the h100 myself.

HUNTER.P · 14 Feb 2012 at 11:18

Dunno but I've also got two spare 120s that came with the next case i could use

subbytna · 14 Feb 2012 at 11:26

From what I've read, under load, the stock fans are a bit whiney/noisey.

That's some serious piece of pc kit though fella

very jealous

Get some backplates for the 580s, blue pcbs look silly imo. Sick build tho!

Looking great

To much suprise my mounting kit arrived from corsair today. Didnt expect to get it too next week.

But although I've managed to completly secure down the pump/cooler there where no screws for the fans! Even though they are part of the package

phill9800 · 17 Feb 2012 at 19:55

So you've managed to get it installed ok then??

HUNTER.P · 17 Feb 2012 at 20:13

Except for the fans, yes I did

phill9800 · 17 Feb 2012 at 20:17

Is there anything that you need to get the fans mounted??

HUNTER.P · 17 Feb 2012 at 21:40

Just screws, but I've got ablsolutly nothing lying around that will do the job

phill9800 · 17 Feb 2012 at 21:42

Do you need rad screws?

I know EVGA make one, if you google "GTX 580 Backplate" and have a look through google shopping you should get one.
