Thanks chaps all useful advice

Going to have a play when I get a moment bit busy for the rest of the day now.

CPU temp was only 20c in the bios which seems awfully low!!

The top 240 radiator fit was a bit of a bodge. Fitted in to the mountings provided on the 650D with the typhoons on it, it hits the top of the motherboard where the 12V rail goes in. Its a shame Corsair didn't provide a range of different holes in the top for all kinds of mounting options.

So in the end I had to...bodge it....I will get some black screws when I get round to it. Its secured pretty good though, deffo not going any where!

looks excellent mate

Thanks mate Im properly chuffed with it so far. Let the overclocking commence!!

I wish I was a better photographer

The colours do look excellent though its not quite as well co-ordinated as some!

Looks good, is that the D5 + alphacool top OCUK combo pump?

cobbly123 · 26 Feb 2012 at 22:19

Looks brilliant neat and tidy

rare · 26 Feb 2012 at 22:40

Yeah combo pump

Seems excellent, its silent in operation!

pgi947 · 27 Feb 2012 at 08:40

That's good to know, plan to order one this week!

Lunawolfy · 27 Feb 2012 at 10:00

a 240mm and a 120mm to cool a single CPU?

I'm assuming you plan on expanding to your GPU also?

rare · 27 Feb 2012 at 11:38

I will down the road

I always prefer to go a bit overkill for long term convenience

Only thing that's annoying me is the front 200mm fan is so loud. And when I connect it to my fan controller it buzzes like a bugger

Could try something like this on the front 200mm fan, these are the only ones i can find on OCUK but if u google there are plenty of them about with lower voltages like 7v and 5v if 10v is still too loud.

one word ...

Overrated

-----------
As long as its from know brand:
EK
Phobya
Koolance
alphaCool
BitsPower

Your ok to go, i.e. not cheap chinese knockoff

Glad to hear you have everything setup. Personally I would have slept on it

You listed bitspower there anyway?

And Phobya?? Their quality is nothing short of terrible.

Used bitspower for years and never leak tested....they are bombproof. Never understood the objections (usually price) that the brand gets from people who spend thousands on hardware and WC kit then put cheap fittings in when they are all that keeps the liquid where it should be.

To me thats like a ferrari owner happily blowing £150K on a car and moaning about the price of tyres and shodding it with cheap tat.

OP....

Nice build
