looks really neat!

Are those fans blowing out?

Just need a few ideas how to mount mine xD

Also do you know which ones are the in and outs? xD

lgevans · 20 Dec 2011 at 14:16

I got them pulling in as makes more sense to have cool air over the rad imo. The back fan I will have as exhaust and the bottom case fan pulling in.

Slight delay... I am returning the Phobya 250 for the 150. It just seems to take up way too much space and I think the 150 will be far neater.

Pretty sure your fans are blowing through the rad and out of the case.
Im going by how they are arranged on my case / radiator.

lgevans · 20 Dec 2011 at 14:30

Don't think they are. I checked the fan cases for air flow direction. They are orientated to pull into the case.

lgevans · 20 Dec 2011 at 14:30

Final delivery for today

WOOP!

Hmm might have to check mine when I get home but was sure I had it right when I put them in.

The black fittings look nice and yay nickel plexi, get pics up asap.

Get some nickel plexi pics up NOW!!!!

you could get three more GT's and go push/pull

I never realised how heavy GPU water blocks are. They do look mighty fine though

Only done 1 GFX card though as the other is still in the pre-operative PC

I will be harvesting items out of that machine today/tomorrow. Updates will continue though

This is quite fun. I was terrified of trying my hand at water cooling but having built my own machines for years I figured it can't be that tough.

It's like mechano and computers... Takes me back I tell you... "In my day" LOL

The CPU block is PURDY!

lgevans · 20 Dec 2011 at 15:42

There is no backplate included for installation????

lgevans · 20 Dec 2011 at 16:04

I can't mount the CPU block as there is no backplate

Lordgrayone · 20 Dec 2011 at 16:11

oh dear, looks like they have included 2 AMD block plates :-0

Barrybear · 20 Dec 2011 at 16:13

Did you get 2 of the black ones?
I'm sure I got 1 black like them and the Intel silver one.

Id get onto the retailer asap might be able to help you out.

Cleeecooo · 20 Dec 2011 at 16:20

yeah, should come with a silver one

Try emailing EK, i'm sure they'll send one over straight away

make sure you don't do what i do and forget to peel the film off the back

Edit:
im sure this'll cheer you up a bit:
