PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

Hopefuly they are not the 2.99 ones, I have a pair of them and find them obnoxiously loud, and very ineffective if you turn them down to silence them.

Good to see this finally underway though

Good luck with the build

thanks mate, look forward to seeing the results

at 3 quid a pop they are a steal

Looking forward to see the full and final result of the build.

The fans will be quite loud at full speed but they will be around half speed on a controller, only ramped up for benching. They would need to be at full speed on a high fpi 620 radiator to have any kind of performance. My loop should run near passive.

Ordering the second gpu block tonight

I run mine on speed 2 of 9 and my computer sounds not too dissimilar from a wind tunnel

Replacing them once I have the money for some SP120's or GT's.

Why did you not keep your Lightning?

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 12 Feb 2013 at 09:29

This is obviously going to be EPIC.

Lovin the whole look of it

Lightning broke in November, sold on the rma replacement as I got offered the pair of msi oc's for £440 (thanks tony!!). I should have better voltage control on the oc's too.

I hope it's going to be epic, my biggest challenge is the cables.

Some more pics to tide things along, just some stuff I have laying about at my desk

My successor to the raystorm:

And the replacements for my 2400mhz kingston :cool:

OOh nice block and RAM, What is it with everybody and low profile ram? Fricking huge ass heatsink memory ftw

Feesh · 12 Feb 2013 at 23:20

Low profile all the way.

Who needs the bling of a massive HS, less is more!

On Holiday · 13 Feb 2013 at 03:08

1600Mbps!!

pgi947 · 13 Feb 2013 at 06:32

The Samsung ram is positively tiny! If they fit I may consider some arctic ac ram sinks.

1600 for now hopefully 2200+ once I'm done with it, imc appears to be quite strong on my chip

That's a good deal on the MSI OC's.

I recently got some Sammy Green ram, haven't installed it yet, waiting for some new fans to arrive.

pgi947 · 13 Feb 2013 at 10:05

Correction it was £420 for the pair not £440

Speaking of fans I ran up the tech lab stuff last night, couldn't hear it over my viper, had one doa but the awesome Bailey is sending me a replacement :cool:

~Mike~ · 13 Feb 2013 at 12:52

^ Even better.

This thread has potential - subbed!

Looking forward to seeing this get going.So get going already mate :-)

3 orders left to make and I can start taking things apart

I do plan to get the 1080 radiator fitted this weekend, just need to measure up tomorrow and snatch some supplies from work, I'll measure up for the fill/drain ports too.

Will endeavour to get some better pics of the case too, especially as its now on wheels

Edit: Second GPU block ordered as well as some 19mm silver with orange LED vandal resistant dimastech switches :cool:
