    My first attempt at watercooling

    I didn't say that I didn't like it, it just seems that a lot of people on here really dislike the Thermaltake premods.

    My first attempt at watercooling

    I have the barbs over the drive bays because I screwed up when I cut the fan holes. I lined up the radiator without the power supply in place when I marked the holes. When I tried to put it all together, it wouldn't fit, so I had to turn the radiator around. I had to put 90 degree barbs on...

    My case, Who says Tt is nothing but ogreish?

    Why did you go with green in the watercooling? You had kind of a blue theme before, why change it? Check out my xaser. I got the watercooling in it and now I'm just waiting for my matrix orbital lcd to replace that useless hardcano unit...

    My first attempt at watercooling

    No leaks so far. That was one of the hard parts putting it together. I ran the whole system together ouside of the computer for a week, without any leaks, and then when I finally put it together, I had a leak here and a leak there. I drained the system three times to fix leaks. First once of...

    My first attempt at watercooling

    So I finally got my watercooling system together. I used a DD RBX CPU block with the #5 nozzole, and DD Maze4 GPU block, and a Z-Chip Block for my chipset. I used a Black Ice Extreme II radiator, and a Danner Mag3 pump. OneMadPopTart gave me a lot of help in choosing the components in a...

    My case, Who says Tt is nothing but ogreish?

    Well, I'm looking forward to seeing them, but if your friend is in Korea, I'll probably have mine done before you get your camera back. :)

    First time WaterCooling Questions

    Thanks OneMadPoptart, excellent reply. That should help a lot, but it has given me a couple more questions. I've read that the RBX doesn't work as well on AMD chips because it doesn't hit the support pads so it comes off the core more easily. I was thinking this problem would be compounded...
