Project: POWERTHIRST

[Luthien]

Tuesday, I ordered almost everything I need for this build.

Some of it came in today, so now I get to start working on the cooling.

Bitspower 1/2" Barbs with a Black Matte Finish:

Danger Den Fillport:

Black ICE GTS Stealth 280 Radiator:

Yate Loon High Speed 140s with Green LEDs:

7/16" PrimoFlex Pro LRT UV Green Tubing:

EK Supreme HF Water Block:

My Water Block is being customized right now by Kayin at FlameProof Design. I'll put up pics once it's finished.

I love opening packages of newly arrived computer parts...the factory fresh smell...shiny, untouched water blocks and fittings...ahhhhhhh... I wish I could just do that all day, every day!

but you'd have to order $5K of parts every day
I like the new toys.

[Luthien]

Yeah, it really is great getting to open up all the new stuff. I have other things coming in the next day or so...cpu, hdd, board, ram...can't wait

The Water Block customization is finished. As promised, here are the pics of my EK Supreme HF Black Edition:

I'll post pictures with the LEDs lit up later tonight.

I did some of the set-up for the cooling today. Here's the case with the CoolerMaster 120s removed:

Here's the case after I installed the radiator, the Yate Loon 140s, and the fillport:

good work! just one thing...lookin at those pics....dont you want the fans pulling air from the case through the rad then blowing it out? not pulling air from outside then pushing it through the rad and into your case?

[Kayin]

Case looks to be set up as positive pressure. It's engineered for best CPU temps possible, even if the MOSFETs get a bit warmer air as long as they get air it's OK.

[SXRguyinMA]

well it just makes sense to me to have the hot air blowing out of the case not in

[Kayin]

I do believe it'll make sense when it's done.

[SXRguyinMA]

well you know a lot more about airflow and such than me, so I'll wait and see
