Component changes
  • HWL SR1 360 > EK XT 360
  • Noiseblocker eLoop > Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro PL-2

Reviews claim the eLoops have some false RPM labeling, the 800 RPM's only spinning at 600-700RPM.
I'll go with the BlackSilent's this way i save time with the painting process and i get some excellent 1400 RPM fans :)

Of course changing fans means changing radiators, the SR1 would have been my ideal choice, but the XT 360 is the next best thing at these speeds and is M3 fitted.

ETA on Bench - 17/05/2013 - Then it's photo time.

Component changes
  • EVGA SC GTX 680 > Galaxy GTX 680
  • Bitspower Acetal Fittings > EK-CSQ Fittings
  • Samsung SH-B123A Blue-ray burner
  • PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 3/8in ID x 1/2in OD Tubing Clear
  • Lamptron FC Controller

Galaxy GTX 680's currently on special for $449 while the EVGA SC is currently $529 - Can't go wrong with that price considering the coolers won't be used.
I've overused Bitspower fittings in the past, the newer CSQ EK fittings look nice and will fit my build.

Re-using my Lamptron FC Controller & Blue-ray drive :)

He probably had a GPU made by them, blew it up, and is avoiding it like the plague. Sort of like me to AMD GPUs.

I've heard stories about their RMA department, hopefully my cards won't go that far.
The savings on these cards too hard to pass up.
