Some alterations

gary996 · 25 Sep 2011 at 19:43

Have switched over to Sandybridge (i2500k). Decided to go two separate loops. 1 loop for the proc and the other loop for the TriSli 570's. Just awaiting some more parts so i can finish.

I had the quad rad sitting up, have switched it round so now it faces down. Cut the floor out and fitted a quad grill in there. Have ordered 2 G1/4 risers so I can get above the fans for tubing.
I made some brackets out of the alu from the floor to mount the front triple rad. Had to bend them so it sat back far enough to close the door.

not a massive fan on lian-li cases, but that looks really nice. how come one of the cards is air cooled?

gary996 · 7 Oct 2011 at 07:41

Its non reference but Ek have said that the 470 block will fit. Just havn't got round to ordering it yet.
Of course the card runs hotter than the W/C ones by (at the moment idle and just switched on)) 14 degrees. I think in games +20 degrees, so I will get the block and add it soon. Oh and its fairly loud

ah ok, as long as you don't plan on keeping it that way its fine

Well at eye level maybe a little. But it sits on the floor so I don't really see it to be honest.
