New stuff got here...

[Ollie1132]

Theres a tiny margin between the Phanteks and Alpenfohn which are both top air coolers. Noctua is not far behind the two.

 

[neilo67]

will look into it more nearer the time Im getting decent temps atm but I know they could be beter

 

[Ollie1132]

One thing you should know the Phanteks is 170mm the alpenfohn is 160mm so keep that in mind case wise.

 

[neilo67]

thanks

Don't usually like those garish "gam3R" cases but think that stormtrooper looks sweet.

Might get tired of looking at it eventually though if I bought one myself.

Very nice, what GPU have you (or are you) complimenting that with? (looked through the thread but couldn't see any mention)

670 i believe

 

[Ollie1132]

Yeah will be a 670 currently I have no money (just enough to last me till the end of term... barely ) Just noticed Im on about 10-15% load whilst browsing the internet... that can't be right.

 

[Ollie1132]

So I reseated my heatsink.. and either I used too much TIM or my PC hates me with a passion >.<

 

[Ollie1132]

tell a lie my idle max temps have dropped drastically. hoping I get a result similar when I prime

 

[Ollie1132]

Getting this st00fs soonish (I hope) to finish my build

ollie1132, you may want a reservoir, also I would change the lighting to the smd type led strips as you can cut it and stuff, usually cheaper as well for more leds

 

[Ollie1132]

I want an old style dual ek bay res which OCuk no longer stock can you link me to the smd leds? And Im going to make a full proper build log I think lol.

These are the smd type, can only link OcUK's but I got 60 leds on my strip but not from OcUK

That EK bay res can be noisy from what i hear about them, did recently consider one myself but went with an alphacool white derlin single bay res, can put in 4 leds and light the whole of the white derlin up, it actually looks good.

 

[Ollie1132]

Cool I have to figure out where to get a EK dual bay res :c Im already kinda over budget xD oh and I have to get a windowed sidepanel. :c

Alphacool do a nice white derlin single bay res for around £20, the Ek are noisy, waterfall noisy

 

[Ollie1132]

Lol is there not a decent dual bay black Res similar to the EK dual bays with the plexi front? Also are the xilence fans any decent? I quite like the look of them and apparrently they have more cfm than the GTs?
