Thanks :) it is a nice case, and i really like the white LED's too, I wasn't sure if I would before I switched it on.

Nice job. I'm guessing when your H100 arrives you'll be mounting the rad at the top and pulling air in ?

I will probably exhaust air out so that I don't have to clean the rad as often, but we'll see :)
Annoyingly it may arrive sooner than I thought meaning that I wasted some TIM on the Kuhler, but never mind. :p
 
Look what turned up! :D

Looks like we can get this finished sooner than expected. :cool:

A post of mine taken from the thread about these refurb Corsair units:

Here are some pictures of the unit I received. Everything appears to be in impeccable condition, in-fact I wouldn't question it's condition if I were told it was brand new. :)

The pictures aren't the best, but I tried my hardest to battle with the lameness of my phone camera. :p

Glad it is running fine for you good sir! I am toying with the idea of getting one myself. Not sure if I would use it now, or just hold onto it until a later date. In all honesty, my rig is running everything really well so I don't know if it is really justifiable to get one so I can OC further as I am really happy with it as is.

Could always just buy it, and leave it in the box for future use while they are so cheap :) Plus the OC could come in handy for Rome 2. Decisions decisions!
 
Seems one of the hard drives is on its way out, after the system is on for a short while it starts to make a worrying buzzing noise.

I assume its the 6+ year old 320GB Barracuda. I hope it isnt my 2 year old 1TB F3 :(

Well I researched this for my PC case and it turned out to be better to draw in cooler air from the room and then exhaust from the rear. To solve the dusty rad problem I just bought some magnetic Silverstone fan filters. ;)

I had one of those silverstone fan filters. Used it for a week, everything went right through it, so i threw it in the bin and bought a demciflex one :p

Weird. I have had two of them for a year now and the inside of my PC is almost spotless when I do my 6 monthly clean. I'm at a loss as to why your experience should be different from mine. Unless of course you don't own a vacuum cleaner !!!! :D

The one I got looked like a sieve. It's no wonder it didnt work properly, everything went through it and stuck on the rad. My demciflex one is a much much finer filter with a far finer mesh, and it does a good job.

Maybe your house is more dust free than mine :p

Plus my PC is on 24/7 :rolleyes:
