could be a nice upgrade from my Antec 920... hmmm... tempting

Ahh just seen the pics of it in the FT02... pretty annoying i guess... ah well...

Danielanthony - any room for another fan under the rad? (You have the same case / psu as me)

Yeah there's room, but the supplied screws aren't long enough to go through the plastic holding plate, the fan and into the rad.

I bit the bullet and ordered the 240mm with the Black Ice upgrade

Does it come with 8 x large screws to secure the fans? What if I need to buy more screws for push pull? Can someone let me know the correct length and diameter please?

Thanks

I got this cooler with the radiator upgrade, unfortunately it didn't fit in my FT02 where the Corsair H70 did on the top 120mm mount so I had to replace one of the fans at the bottom. Luckily I didn't get the 240mm version to go down there as it wouldn't fit due to the size of my EVGA 780 SC card.

I think one of the tubes may be too long, plus there's still an air bubble despite me taking the cap off, running for a few hours before topping up again. My 4770K idles at 28c and goes up to 88c in prime at 4.2ghz.

Good to see that it leaves the top x1 pcie slot unobstructed on the maximus VI formula.

It comes with 8 for the fans, you have to supply extras yourself for push pull.

I have the same as you've ordered.

Even at 1.42v it keeps my Sandy at around 70C after 30 passes of IBT on very high.

Right, I've shortened the cables and forced through the screws to make a push/pull configuration:

Just bleeding the loop at the moment, I ordered some XSPC screws to fit the new fan with but they don't fit (too narrow). Does anyone have a link to which screws this rad needs? It came with 4 but I'm having to use two in each fan at the moment...

I just glad that I stick with air cooler silver arrow and I don't need to fork out overpricing custom water loop like this.

If that's a Black Ice SR-1, I think you just need M4 screws, probably 30 or 35mm long.

danielanthony, what's the pump/block like for noise?

If you have it running at 7V, its fine. If you have 12V going through it, it's really annoying.

My PC is on my desk and you can't distinguish the sound of the pump over that of the fans.

I will buy these "Pan Head Machine Screw BZP M4 x 30mm Pack of 25" hopefully they'll do the job

MooMoo444 · 9 Oct 2013 at 19:32

Need some 8pack approved benchmarks

Thanks man.

Apparently it is possible to add another 120 rad and the pump has no problems. The OC owner's thread shows temps dropping up to 9degC

murah · 13 Oct 2013 at 23:55

any update on the 240 how did it fare?

i really want to see a comparison between this and the h100i

This would win, seriously that's like saying you really want to see what would happen if Justin Beiber fought a Tyrannosaur, the outcome is quite obvious

this has a much much better rad and so can better transfer heat from the loop to the air, that means better cooling for the CPU as it's more efficient of getting rid of the heat the CPU is generating.

Make said:
Quite a high temp. Maybe you need a push-pull for that thick rad..

Push/Pull on a low FPI thick rad like the SR1 is pointless, they offer very little airflow restriction hence being great for low speed fans.
