why are you buying custom WC card and EK waterblock too?

also that memory is too expensive for my liking. I'd just get 2400MHz for like 1/3 of the price.

Allnamestaken · 13 Dec 2013 at 17:05

Thats how it is listed in the basket bud, the card plus WB costs £589 together but in the basket its split.

Stonehouse · 13 Dec 2013 at 18:36

I'm with you, but not sure those LEDs + bit of extra frequency would be worth paying £90 extra

That orange is a bit to tacky for me, it was originally my first choice then I decided to be silly and opt for the more expencive ram purely on looks lol.

kefan77 · 13 Dec 2013 at 18:59

Looks like it's going to be a lovely build, but I always think one GPU on watercooled rigs looks a bit lonely.

The Overseer has put one more 290x On hold in the coming months

Quick question guys - Whats the best way to flush my radiators? I have no distilled water either.. any idea? I know I can use tap water and vinegar or soap. Or I can use just tap water but I was wondering whats the best method overall using home stuff.

Thanks for any help

Allnamestaken · 14 Dec 2013 at 18:38

Damnit guys

, the ocuk gods held my order back because one fitting was out of stock lol.. so its all going to arrive Monday.

I will update you all then!

a66as · 14 Dec 2013 at 18:57

If i were you i'd test all the components beforehand, don't wanna put all that together and figure out theres a fault

but looks like a beast in the making, good luck

Stonehouse · 14 Dec 2013 at 18:57

I thought it would come with 1 piece missing instead
