I feel bad for your pocket book. Those fans are half as good as mine and twice as expensive.

manufacturer fan ratings I'd never trust....

go read some real reviews on overclock.net ie martins tests

gentle typhoons and noctuas are about the only fans i would put on my rads...

Though I love the G1 Assassin and the res. I think I am going to sell my bay res for a reactor core.

@Batanga. If you don't want/like the yellow use these two paints. (this is what I plan to do for my rad fans.)

ClearNeon Aerosol UV Reactive Paint - Green
ClearNeon Aerosol UV Reactive Paint - Black (Eraser)

Use the Eraser like a primer then the UV green for the effect.

I know about matrin's test. I've spoke to martin a few times but he hasn't tried these yet. I said for 15 bucks screw it.

LOL Except the ports on a rad are both on one side not the middle of the rad. lol




You are wrong again my friend. The temps in a WC loop don't vary by more than MAYBE 1C. You could OC a 2011 and SLI 4 580s and it would still be the same temps because the water flows so fast it doesn't have time to sit stagnant.


2 bad no systems have the same temps
would be nice to see 4 cards all the same

Oh well yeah. I mean after a CPU and 4 cards the last GPU would be probably 5C hotter over all than the other 3... but 5C is also stretching it.

im a noctua fan boy not afraid to admit it plus i kinda have come to like their look lol (cll me crazy i know)

i still have to return tube to top rad so there would be a tube regardless

as for pump down bottom it prob would fit next to rad but then I'd need to use extenders n such to get it tubed and would be damn tight and i dont have the fittings for it :(

also i agree on the green doms.... tis temping but its $20 for black extended fins from corsair.

EDIT: if i got any other fan for a exhaust it would probs be a GELID thingo but then i feel it would be too much led lighting for my liking?


I like your case and setup bro. Very smexy. Just mod your case though. For me to get my 420 rad in this stupid switch I had to dissassemble the whole top case cross bar (mounting system thingy). You know what I mean. I had to take it off. Add my fans onto my rad underneath, hold my rad up to the mounting system and apply my 3 fans to the case onto the rad such as you. Afterward I realized I didn't attack my fittings and tubes and how to take it off to reach it. Total DOH moment. But see if you can't take the roof of the case apart and reach it that way.

Also are you going just distilled or adding dyes or special coolant? I gotta say I love that damn board! I also really like how cleaning your gpu wb is. Which model and brand is it?

probably going straight distilled (got 3 litres in australia distilled is hard to come by my mate makes his own)

was thinking about going mayhems black oil but only place id see it is cpu block res and pump so i dunno if its worth the hassle of cleaning loop more often

block is aqua computer with a EK backplate (had to mod the backplate for it to work with the block ><)

and yeah modding the case was fun and not fun at the same time haha, if i had put a 420 in top my fill port ould have been screwed)

Just do distilled since you have coloured tube
add in a simple killcoil/PHN nuke
