Nothing yo fancy sample cooler for now until next year.

Hopefully should have this sample rig up by tomorrow waiting on my 800D.

Nice the R4E is a sweet board (Y)
You planning on doing a water cooling loop??

[2NR Smurf]

Damn sweet board there...serious PSU too...what you planning on putting in there?

[AGENT RORO]

^got my 3570k @ 4.2Ghz so far.

wish i had put the extra money for some faster ram tho

Honestly that's around where I'll try to get mine, And I'm def. upgrading to better ram for the new year

[firstchoicett]

Well I am a koolance person and every 2 years they release a new CPU block the 380 Block should be out by next year I will upgrade and water cool the whole rig . First I was planning on going with the little devil v10 case with phase cooler build in but when I check 14,000.00 on a case no sense .

I bought 2 690 GTX but end up selling them since the 780/790 should be out q1 next year. For now will just pump a 650 .

System should be up tomorrow after I finish installing a CCTV system will complete rig.

[2NR Smurf]

2 690s???

[Ronaldo95163]

[firstchoicett]

Nah I love the 800D.

[firstchoicett]

[firstchoicett]

[HCCA]

I mehself working on a new build (with ole parts )

However rain falling everyday so i hadda delay painting the case.

[Ronaldo95163]

"Ah rig is ah rig"

Behold....my older rig

[ismithx]

it could run doom??


the original one that is.....

[HCCA]

^^Aside from d duss nothing really wrong with it.

[Ronaldo95163]

I swapped out that board in it (MSI K8MM-V) with a K9MM-V a few months ago...it ran everything I threw at it though Now it's slowly dying so I don't really use it that often anymore

My current rig



Yes I know it's dusty ...room it was in was under renovation

[2NR Smurf]

^that bottom mount fan doh make real noise?

[Ronaldo95163]

Not at all. Only noisy-ish fans are the 3x 142CFM Storm Forces that came with the case.

[2NR Smurf]

^its intake or exhaust? was gonna mount a bottom intake to blow over the chipset n ram...and it was pretty loud mounted there

[Ronaldo95163]

I put it as exhaust as my GPU isn't completely externally exhausted. It exhausts from the top and the rear.
You can put it as an intake but beware that you'd be pulling up dust from the ground and shooting it up into your case. Mine had a dust filter there but I took it out along with the one on the side panel and also the ones in the 5.25" Bays for increased airflow.

Once you have a good side panel fan you shouldn't have to worry though...

[2NR Smurf]

^side panel exhaust for it yes. having the intake so low to the ground makes the case sound like a lil vacuum

[Ronaldo95163]

Nah keep the side panel as intake...cools your GPU,RAM,Chipset etc and it improves airflow...

have 3 like that on the way to intake air on top of my case those fans work real sweet.

will go great with my fan controller.

[Ronaldo95163]

183CFM O.O
Dude that's wicked!

[2NR Smurf]

yikes @ 183cfm

but those wont be pretty loud @ full rpm?

[Ronaldo95163]

^Most Definitely but the performance would compensate for that

Positive air pressure = no dust
