PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

I'll see what OcUK have in this department, otherwise I'll be off to an electrical suppliers for some wire and a bag of LED's.

SLIGHT change of radiator plan too...I've just snagged a 280mm radiator on the MM, so that can go in the front.

So 360+360+1080+280, I'm going to get all of the exact measurements and have a little maths competition in the WC forum for some free games I think ;)
 
You'd see better temps for longer, as the water temps would stay lower for longer, andybird explained this pretty well in a post a few weeks ago.

I've already had this D5 holding up a 3L res while pushing through a 1080+360+3 block loop and 5 meters of tubing, it'l be fine ;)

If its not fine, then it looks like I'm either eating someone's hat or doing a 24v mod :o
 
Now going to have to rush an order elsewhere for the braided cable kit for my psu, after 3 weeks and two wrong orders ocuk now just don't have stock, wonderful :(

Done ;)

Another thing I forgot to order....cables to connect the power and reset switches :o

Will have to make an order with another retailer tonight for the PSU cables, so I'll have a snoop about for those while I'm at it :)
 
Right that is everything ordered I hope! Another set of cables ordered and an order with OcUK for my tubing, fluid and some misc items :)

Backplates are in the post, at best I would say Friday before they arrive with me, at worst Monday.
 
Why spend that much money on a chip that is getting replaced in Q3 this year? Top line IB-E WILL be making its way into this system in due course ;)

And yes, I would rather have saved £200 going for 3820 over a 3930K, that £200 could have paid for any number of things :)
 
Yep hiding away in here :)

I'll let you know how I get on with the icy box as I've never used their products but I hear good things :)

Looking good for getting the backplates this week, they left Portugal yesterday and arrived in Germany in the early hours of this morning so would expect them in the UK by tomorrow, possibly direct to Scotland as I know dhl cargo planes fly direct to Edinburgh :D
 
I need to have a hunt about tonight for more alternatives, I don't understand how stock control can be so poor.

Its the braided cable kit for the PSU thats the issue, originally ordered from OcUK a few weeks ago, got sent the wrong kit twice, then found them to be out of stock - got refunded, ordered from the place in Bolton last night, they then waited until around 7:15pm before deciding to tell me they were also out of stock and are now holding up the entire order that includes the S2011 mounting posts I need, and not giving me chance to meet delivery cut off with any other retailer.

Not happy tbh, everything was looking spot on to be done by the weekend too.

Provided my other orders come through without issue I may be able to avoid the cable kit.
 
Corsair HX/TX Black, I'd rather avoid paying the near double some retailers have it at too :(

As it is only 3 retailers in the UK stock them (from what I can see), OcUK had a mislabeled batch, so no stock, the place in Bolton either lies about its stock or just has poor stock control, while the other place want nearly twice what OcUK charge.

OH AND the mrs just won £1500 playing online bingo and I'm not allowed any for parts :(
 
its ok bud, thanks anyhow :)

Already had two sets of AX1200 cables, make me think the easier option would have just been buying a new PSU :o

Seems Gregster is getting arsed about by the same retailer with his Titan. Lesson learned.
 
I have no option now but to forget about the cables only 3 UK retailers stock them, two are out of stock and the other wants to charge twice of the other two.

I'll have to get creative hiding cables.

Backplates are in aberdeen!!! Could be expecting them today!!!

Edit: first parcel of the day is here, pics incoming.

Enough cables (already have a full set of black bitfenix for the other vitals) to hopefully hide those stock cables that I'm being forced to use:

Phobya Balancer 450 res, this thing is HUGE and will take up an entire side of the case :cool: Put it next to an empty 2L bottle just to show how big it is!

Backplates ARE out for delivery, can't wait, its the part I'm looking forward the most in this build :D
 
Possibly! Though I think some 600mm ones do exist (mine is 450mm)!

OcUK order is due in the next hour, then all I'm waiting on is the S2011 stand-offs to arrive tomorrow and everything is in hand :D

Going to get some bits dry-fitted today, then the good stuff tomorrow :D
 
Oooh, I'll take a better look at them tomorrow, they appeared to be quite strong, the adjustable ek clips have been a pain for me, I think I only have 1 ek clip remaining.

First thing tomorrow, open the gpu blocks check everything is ok, leak test them then on with the fitting, 280 rad is sat at the post office hopefully get that Saturday at the latest :)
