Why did you remove the top casing? For looks and better cooling? Fans look excellent IMO.

Is that an FT02 Khemist? Great looking build by the way!

I used to have a FT02 but this is a RV02, same design but just cheaper materials.

That's a lovely case GDH75 - what is it?

Not done yet but thought I'd stick these up before I undergo the next phase of the build soon.

InFam0us - Lovely build mate, love those Raven cases. What's are the next phases of your build? Are we going to see SLI?!

TJM 83 - Very nice, the blue w/ those EK blocks looks lovely, I think with a little lighting you could get that GPU SLI Block looking even better. Some white LED's placed on the back maybe?

Not right this second, will be taking some new photos soon though when I continue work on it

I wish, budget unfortunately doesn't stretch that far. But I'm looking to make some custom pieces that will add to the red theme. Have aims to get some water cooling in there too, hopefully will have the cash ready by June.

Lovely lighting in your case mate. Also that's a big loop just for the cpu, what sort of temps do you get?

Thanks, I have only had a quick look as only just done it but on load around 50-54 and thermal paste is still fresh, there will eventualy be another 240mm rad going in the bottom and then my 680 will be added to the loop with another 680 added a few months later.

Have you considered a 200 X 200 rad in the front instead? That might look better and actually has very nearly the same surface area as a 360 rad.

The picture above is a 200 X 200 rad next to a standard 240 rad and as you can see its quite a bit bigger and perfect for the front of a 650D.

The tubing was the most expensive thing this time, i think it was about £18 for six feet of tygon E1000 and £15 for pastel white then a fiver or so for some ermerald Green dye.

It doesn't take long at all but i enjoy it and don't like to rush it.

I already know how the tubing is going to be so it's just a case of remove and replace but if it's a totally different change of liquid then i take the blocks apart and flush out the radiator as well.

You've cooked this one up really well khemist. I am loving the white case... Slap few nice honey with big boobs stickers and be looking right!

That was my original idea with a 200mm Phobya v2, but I thought the performance maybe better and quieter with a 240mm as I could use Synthe GT fans as opposed to the 200mm Bitfenix spectre pro I already have in the front. It would be a neater job using a 200mm maybe I will just go back to doing that and at least I wouldn't have to cut the case up.

Didn't know they brought out a V2 of that rad, cool!

I have a fan controller so in windows i turn all fans right down low, then crank them up when gaming. I leave my front Bitfenix on full most the time though as all i can hear is air whooshing and it drowns out the noise of hard drives and pumps.

Tackle_Berry · 9 Apr 2013 at 11:27

Just checked out your build very nice, yeah I have a controller as well so sound shouldn't be to much of a issue I plan on cutting out the front like you have, what did you use a dremel? I have just priced up the two options and seeing as I already have the spectre pro works out a lot cheaper then doing the 240mm option.
