Something so. Not sure the exact terminology. But it did a good job of removing my water stains and I'm sure it took excess moisture when it dried

How you fitting a 420 in that case, to the front?

Realize when you front mount rads it really stifles the case of proper air flow.

You have any single 120/140 rads to sell? Studying to take out the 240 & use a single 120/140 rad so I could get some extra airflow across the mobo or just use the 360 for everything.

It fits actually. I have a XSPC rx120 or ex120 somewhere I gotta say. Let me see if I find it.

Wayzzz boy Chiney i taut u was done with dem ting lolol

Looking beastly as always

Ohh btw I powered on the pc and it works

Only until i heard it post and i switched it back off.
Came back about 30 to 45 mins later and filled it up with the distilled water and ran the pump...paper clip method with the psu...pc was unplugged from the wall after i powered on the pc previously

Had a small leak by thr fitting...nothing big...wiped it up abd gave it some more turns and ran the pump again...so far no leaks...will monitor it over the next day or so.

Can't wait to pop this in and try it out

That 360 rad should cool everything sufficiently.

Back in the day i had dual radeon 5970s max oc and a core i7-930 @ 4.3ghz cooled by a Thermaltake Kandalf slim 360 rad with a single row of coolermaster fans and got very satisfactory temps.

Yea feel I will just take out the 240 so I could get back some proper airflow in the case. Right now the case have negative air pressure so it actually sucking in air cause of the lack of enough intake. Thas what happens when ya study looks first over function, lol.

Got everything up and running yesterday

Well just up....no drivers on it...just windows :lol:

Need to organize a fan controller...fans are way too loud...9 in total in the case including the 2 that came with it...the default unit could only support 4 fans from the factory. Might probably overload it if I use splitters and run 2 fans off a single rail...tryna get some more info on it first

Either that or might consider the Grid+ from NZXT if the default unit can't handle them

rick46176 · Postby **rick46176** » March 13th, 2016, 7:07 pm

umm , what is a good psu that can run two gtx 970 gigabyte g1 in sli?

Postby **Chiney** » March 16th, 2016, 10:19 am

nice Ronaldo!

I used noctua high static low noise fans...plenty airflow in my case..even with rad in front and top.

not sure how ppl get these issues, poor planning i would guess.

Hopefully later in year we get more products, better features (more OS support) and cheaper.
A very few new laptops have thunderbolt3

Spitfir3 · Postby **Spitfir3** » March 17th, 2016, 2:17 pm

so its an external graphics card dock?
too bad it only works with a few laptops

when the tech gets better optimized and well more cost friendly it may actually get me to switch to a laptop as a main

Razer prices on the high side, they just the proof of concept, the technology they using is Thunderbird 3 which available already on some laptops, so other manufactures can use same technology, say asus, msi, dell etc.
My plan was to buy a powerful cheap ultrabook with affordable gaming specs and external graphics for heavy gaming.

Rather than buying a bulky or expensive gaming laptop or two seperate machines
Around Christmas might see better options.

I had built my tower nearly by skybox.... excepting the case. To me, a case is just to hold everything from shaking.

But I suspect with the inflation of the ttd, and the addition of tax to pc parts again, the local prices might come back close to skyboxing

Spitfir3 · Postby **Spitfir3** » March 21st, 2016, 10:40 am

right now im using a cheap generic case but i hate the airflow and cable management with this thing is pretty much non existent

right now im eyeing the Corsair Carbide 500r which im getting locally or i may end up cheaping out and go with the carbide spec 01 since im running pretty much a budget build
