Decided to use the single 120mm fan/radiator i have and wait until I upgrade my graphics card.

Then I have an excuse to buy more stuff:twisted:

It will be good to have the watercooling up and running again.The fans are too noisy for my liking:mad:

Maybe you could snap us some pictures? Give us a little rundown about quality control and what you think of the product overall?

Its always nice to see a product in a non-professionally picture taken way for some reason. Its like I could look at photos taken by the manufacturer and other professional websites all day, yet I would still want to see a few pictures snapped off by your average joe for some reason. :rolleyes::)

Congrats by the way. ^_^

The last picture is where i might place it(although how i get a new GPU in with a waterblock on only god knows).If not here it'll have to be the HD cage.

My first impressions of the pump is that it's BIG:eek:It feels nice and solid in your hand and is well finished.I'm very pleased with it.

It looks and feels like a well built bit 'o' kit.It will be the weekend before I actually try to fit it,but i have powered it up and i can tell you it is sooo quiet
and smooth I had to touch it to make sure it was running8).

I cant wait to get it fitted.

I'm glad you like it:D, It is, as I've already said, a nice bit 'o' kit:D

I forgot to mention that it has drilled holes for LED's.It could be lit up better than the Blackpool illuminations:banana:

Not a Happy Bunny:mad:

Checked manual before ordering. It said "thank you for buying our 3/8ths cooling system".

Well it ain't. Its Bloody 8-10 mm and I can't get the bloody hose on my bloody barbs:mad::mad::mad:

So after spending Saturday morning stripping down and giving my computer a good cleaning,installing waterblock,reservoir and marking out for my pump I had to use the bloody fan thats driving me nuts.

Well i hear you say just order new barbs. whats all the fuss?

New barbs £2.36.
Shipping and VAT brings the price to..............£16.87:eek:

Oh the joys of living in Northen Ireland. You'd think it was the other side of the universe.:mad:

Sorry that happened to ya.

On the other hand I do find the smaller tubes much sexier for most builds. I have the big bulkie 1/2 and I'm thinking the next rig I watercool I will do with the smaller tubing as it looks much nicer imo.

But that sucks that shipping is so high. Wait a bit and order other things you might need along with it...?...

The only other thing I need at the moment is a new GPU,and the site i use for my cooling needs aint cheap when it comes to that:(

8mm ID. Might change when i change my graphics and cool the card.tbh I do like them small:)

I've had no problems with small diameter hoses,and its only the CPU being cooled at the moment.
