I'll try that out if there's no other alternative I can think of. The fan headers on the mobo are at the other end of the case from where the pump is, and my cabling is messy enough rushing this build as it is.
How much RPM is needed for that pump to go up to that noise levels, anyway?
Finally after months of procrastination and IRL issues, I finally got the custom loop all done in my M1.

How many stop fittings are provided with the Ncase reservoir made by FrozenQ? The pictures on the website suggest that 6 are preinstalled, with only the rear screw holes left empty, but the unit I received had the 2 bottom ones missing as well.
Edit: didn't read before posting, just saw drklu's...
I'm using a cold build focused around the Light of Grace offhand. The item isn't broken, and Ray of Frost is otherwise a useless skill without that item so I doubt my build's gonna get nerfed.
Yeah my toughness is heavily dependent on Unwavering Will right now (20% armor and allres if you're not moving for 1.5 seconds).
I'm waiting to junk the Hellfire Ring as soon as I can find a better ring. Having a lot of bad luck on drops for a while already... picked up half a dozen Azurewraths...
Yup, currently comfy with T2, but targeting to be able to do T4 in groups easily for more XP.
RoF pretty much stays on permanently as long as I hit 2 or more enemies with it.
I have pretty bad rolls for all helmets and ammys so far so I decided to get whatever cleans out T1/T2 effectively.
Rather than make a generic point on 'gearing up 101 class', how about giving me suggestions on what to shoot for? Also, would rerolling +vit for +allresist and +armor be viable?

Not sure what should I go for from here for higher DPS and survivability. Any ideas?
Not sure if I missed out on this, but is anyone using a D5 pump in their rig?
I've already bought all the parts except pumps and CPU blocks, and am looking into picking those up soon.
Radiator: EK Coolstream PE 240mm
GPU Block: EK 290X Nickel Acetal
Reservoir: FrozenQ res
Fans: 2x...
I know the EK one fits, the issue really is the EK one doesn't have published dimensions of the block for comparison with XSPC's. The XSPC one is also more readily available here.
Are Hellfire Ring crafting runs worth it given 2.0.1 loot stat changes?
I've tried doing Torment 3 key warden runs for a week whenever I'm free. Got one ring so far, and a crap ton of Spines but none of the other crafting gear lol.
Great! I currently have everything set up except the water loop right now. The stock cooler on the 290X is really inadequate for the task right now... the Asus monitor program reports 60C mobo temps / 75C CPU temps for me after 2 hours of gaming. Now I just need the FrozenQ res to ship...
Region locked in Southeast Asia and Latin America on Steam, and I have to pay US rates for that!
Probably will buy this later from GMG when it's on sale, and only if it's a region free US key.
If you're not in the US, it can make sense.
Another example is how gimped the GTX 460's clockspeeds were so they can get rid of those pathetic GTX 465 cards.
Sweet. Now I just need to find one of those cards. Radeon 290X isn't in short supply over in Southeast Asia, but XFX is no longer in the local market and PowerColor has stopped selling reference 290 cards... any other brands have good odds of unlocking?
Using a P8Z77-I Deluxe, no malfunctions so far.
My colleague's DirectCu R9 280X had artifacts out of the box, and exchanging it for another unit from the retailer he bought it from still had the same issue. Bad batch perhaps?

Even if you didn't count the huge amount of bad press this game had at launch, you still didn't do your homework - Steam player counts are public anyway. And even BlOps2's...
The slim fan is for the bottom of the case. Just wondering if the extra airflow will help.
I guess I won't be pushing the CPU that much, until the rumoured 600W ST60SF-G turns out to be real. That, or I might end up with a 770 or 780 with a waterblock.
Haven't decided what cooling options to go with my rig.

Going to buy a ST45SF-G soon
Thinking of how to set up cooling...
Semiaccurate is extremely anti-Nvidia but they have gotten several things right long before other sites reported the same things, which means some of their sources are reliable.
For instance, they called out GF100 as being extremely hot and power hungry, as well as grossly missing it's...
Sorry, forgot to mention that I got that email from info at ncases dot com
Just came back from outstation and immediately sent a call to the post office. They've never received the case over in shipping, otherwise it'd be marked as being checked by customs.
I'll probably just wait a few...
Got an email with this:
Not sure what's up with the shipping. There's barely any information on the Taiwanese tracking site other than a 'Dispatch from originating country's exchange office' dated Nov 5, dispatch number 51.
