- Yes, I'm running the H80i with two fans in push-pull configuration, one of the original 25mm fans that came with the H80i and a 12mm fan, the Scythe you refer. This allows to run the H80i without any modification to it. There is space for two 25mm fans but this would require changing the...

1- The SFX450 is known to be able to supply enough juice for the most power hungry GFX+CPU combo, so, instead of just having silverstone to belive, you also have a bunch of people reporting that it works. A 780ti will draw 250w at most when overclocked, and a 4770k overclocked to 2.5GHZ will...

That rad should help quite a bit in keeping with the heat. My only concern is that it appears to be made by Asetek, a company that is suing everyone who dares to make a AIO water cooler.

try this one, test1 to test core stability and see how much hot it will get ( it wont get hotter than this ), and test2 for L3 cache testing. be very careful with the core voltage if you are running adaptive core voltage, because the cpu will draw 0.1v more than what you set...

What software are you using for stability testing? are you running the cache in sync with the core?

I choose that orientation to have the psu fan help pull air out of the case.

I also have an impact and a 4770k and I think that the best cpu cooler you can get ( in terms of cooling performance ) that will still allow you to use the right side of the side bracket is the H80i with a single 25mm fan or with two fans, one 25mm fan and one 12mm fan. Actually, I think the...

I have both. I have two pairs of H80i/H100i fans and a pair of SP120 high performance edition fans. The ones that ship with the H80i/H100i are rated at 0.36amps and the SP120 HP edition are rated at 0.25 amps. The blades look exactly the same so the only diference ( in regards to performance )...

The only problem for me with the sg09/10 is that it is quite ugly.

Two features of the H80i tubes play a crucial part for it to work, those are the length of the tubes and their resistance to colapsing. If those tubes on the H80 have similar properties then you will have no problems.

Thanks! To guarantee that the PSU exaust air doesnt get dumped inside the case again.

That one will not work because It's 120mm and not 92mm ( i checked silverstone web site and they dont have 92mm fan filters ). Also, you need to unscrew the grill to clean the dust. The one I use you just need to pull the plastic frame.

There is a README.txt file on the shared folder where I wrote some notes about the build, and the paper grit is mentioned. I used 1000,1500,2000,2500,3000,5000 and 7000 grit paper ( in this order ). I secured the paper to a glass using adesive tape and then sanded down the copper plate for...

Don't forget to order IC cooling diamond thermal paste. It's the best themal paste with no doubts. I've tried most of the most talked ones and for me IC allways cames on top by a good margin. It also has the advantage of being thick so it will not bleed with time.

I put a huge amount of pressure on the core with the block, and I have been doing this for years with no problems really. The core is very resistent to compression, the problem is really impact from blows or falls.
