coming on Kaap and looking the Dogs danglies, because of you i'm looking at cases now namely this, Merlin ST10-X and i'm loving the monsta's in there, enquired about shipping which will be $171

And i must say i'm liking the board in reverse, get to show off gpu water blocks then, ummmm

Wow that is huge.

Hope you're not going to keep the blue fan rims on and plan to change to the red one

Looking great so far man, can't wait to see the finished result. You must have spent a small fortune!

Thanks

I have spent enough to know I can not afford to do any more PC builds for quite a while.

I have still got the red rims so I will see what works best. With the cards and memory I will be using there is a lot of blue and green.

The good news is I have got rid of the misaligned corsair labels on the fans.

Man, that is seriously a cool case. I am loving the look of all that rad space internaly and that would suit me a treat.

You should have no problems at all using a standard Molex -> 6-Pin PCI-E adapter. Like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-018-AK&groupid=1929&catid=153

The shape of the socket on the mobo is slightly different to a 6 pin PCI-e connector. I have just tried putting a 6 pin PCI-e plug into it and it seems to fit ok. I will give the Molex to 6 Pin adaptor a go.

Do I have to connect one molex connector or two to it.

Thanks.

I have just found a different way to do this.

The 8 pin CPU cables that get pluged into mobo when I looked closed at them more closely come with 6 pin PCI-E connectors as well. The main one has an 8 pin CPU + one 6 pin PCI-E connector, CPU2 has an 8 pin CPU + two 6 pin PCI-E connectors. This came as a surprise to me as in the past I have only used Corsair PSUs which don't have this.

The downside is the 8 pin CPU connector does not split, this means I can not use the 4 pin CPU connection on the RIVE.

Just put this together

If anyone buys one of these, they can turn up in different forms.

The first one I bought for a build turned up in kit form with one pump and one o ring missing.

The second one I bought turned up pre assembled, but the screws holding the pumps on were lose.

This one turned up as D5s in 2 individual pumps which I had to take apart and then attach the D5s to the res.

The above is a little confusing if you are expecting a fully assembled Pump/res combo.

Having said that, they are good units.

Another update

Just filled the system up with mayhems and am now leak testing.

Will carry on tomorrow after the testing.

Gregster · 23 Mar 2013 at 00:05

Looking good Kaap and hope the leak test goes well

It's looking good at the moment.

Successful leak test ?

Will it be done and dusted today ?

Not enough piccy's - come on man you promised

Need more pics Kaap, you are slacking bruvva

Looking Nice so far need to see this when you've finished the build

pgi947 · 23 Mar 2013 at 11:33

What Titan blocks are you going with Kaap?

What was the delivery costs and duration like on the case too? You have no idea how many times I've nearly purchased this case only to be a little girl about it

I am not sure about blocks yet, I am waiting to see how everyone else gets on.

I think it took just over a week to get here.

pgi947 · 23 Mar 2013 at 12:40

A week isn't bad at all

Blocks is a tough one, while something like full nickel heatkillers would look sweet on show, so would clear nickel plexi EK blocks showing off that pastel fluid...

Subbed too, can't wait to see the finished job!!

I've considered this kit/setup a number of times, but always end up getting worried that it's going to vibrate loudly as so many 5¼" pump/res combos seem to. How are you finding it?
Also, with this case, my issue with a dual 5¼" res is that I wouldn't have room for a fan controller, optical drive (yes I still use one) and some form of USB front panel.

Vibration is not too bad, the most noise it makes is the water hitting the res when it returns.
