y not try my style ? carbon fibre sticker .
its quite nice to see dat its not entirely pure flat black .
at least there's some pattern in d design . ^^,
it kinda bring out d loveliness of mobo when use carbon fibre .

I might try that. I guess you bought the carbon fiber sticker in automotive parts shop / automotive parts department of a supermarket, isn't it ?

Big update today



Got all the WC stuff today. Thanks clawhammer for the very fast delivery

Yesterday I also got this in the mail



I can start on the PSU sleeving: Thanks as well to niclasteoh for the fast sending

I also wants to have fans with white blades and black frame for my build, but couldn't find at a reasonable price, so I bought this:



Tamiya flat white paint. Cheap alternative but it should work as well as original fans

And finally I decided to pass the mobo tray to an auto paint shop so he have it primed and painted. There is just nowhere I can find "self etching primer" and after some thought, I really wants the tray to be painted in the same color as the rest of the interior.

Alright, so I got lot of toy to play with this WE, now I'm not sure what to do first
I think I'm gonna sleeve the PSU, but my first attempts to remove the pin for the ATX plug with staplers where not successful ... It is harder than it looks, so I might finally have to buy some sleeving tools.

haha good stuffs .
is dat mcr320-qp ?
y not go for thermochill PA120.3 instead ?

Yes, it is a mcr320-qp. And I didn't take the thermochill because there is not much difference in performance, but there is a very big difference in price

ow ok ^^,
so its almost similar to mine xcept dat im running on Dtek Fuzion V2 and laing D5 while ur laing D5 .
boy u shud have used Laing DDC-2 + XSPC top + ek res 250 sure u get good Hmax on it >.<"

But know the the D5 got the primochill typhoon III res/top. Check out the flow you are getting with 1 D5 used in a dual loop: http://skinneelabs.com/Pumps/D5/TyphoonIII...chill-TIII.html

ya bro, the difference of performance is not much, but in terms of money they are huge.

you can buy almost 2 mcr320qp with the price of the thermochill... the swiftech radiator are best bang per buck radiator available...

looking forward for ur built, nice wc gadgets u got there...

hahaha .
see dat's d difference between enthusiast and normal user .
enthusiast will count every single degree drop on WC setup bro .
so it doesnt really matter if RM500 gonna drop another 4-5C ^^,

i also hope to get Thermochill or even the new BI RX series... but i dont have the $$$ to burnt...

i guess all wc'er already consider hardcore PC OC'er, since most ppl wont invest 1k in cooling...

Actually in that case it is more like RM 500 for 0.5-1C:

Where the thermochill really shines compares to the MCR, it is when using low RPM fans and quiet oriented system. With mid to high RPM fans, there is very little difference.

At the end, you are probably better off buying two MCSR 320 than one PA 120.3 in terms of performance. Although it will obviously take more space and be more restrictive.

guess ur right >.<"
haha
i think i want make superior loop la after diz .
i want make res>pump>CPU WB>PA120.3>pump>NB WB>MCR320-QP>RES

hahaha
wonder wat's d result of dat .

btw someone showed me the link of d laing D5 top last time .
it is very promising but i donno , i think i'd stick wif laing DDC-2 since its compact and easier to manage ^^,

after all , we dont want to get those bulky look stuffs in casing rite .
even my setting rite now oso quite cramped up at d bottom TJ07 part .

white blade and black framed fans...and u bought tamiya white paint..

errr....

u do realize u could remove the blades from the frame and spray paint them right?

ull get an even better weight balance for the blades and itll most likely look better.

Hmm actually is good you talk about it because my idea completely failed

the tamiya paint is too thick:
1) it leaves paint brush marks clearly visible and give a cheap look (might also be my paint brush skill not that great )
2) as you mentioned, I am a bit worry as the thickness of the paint seems to add quite some weight.

You can remove the fan blades from the frame ? I didn't know actually. I will look into that. thanks for the tip

Ya, those expensive radiators would costs a bomb (including the new SR-1) and temp differences isn't really a lot though. Anyway, that's a really nice work log and I'll look forward to see how the end result would be.

* r4st4m4n is on a killing spree!

might wanna check THIS

have anyone ever tried using different blade and stick on another fan ?
might awnna try use silverstone white color fan and use d fans on other fan .
color combination shud be nice !

Thanks ! I'm going to try it

Not a bad idea. But generally fans are designed for a matching blade and motor. So I am bit worry by mixing two different references it may adverse effects like becoming noiser and/or lowering the CFM ...

its no harm to try bro .
cause i see that those silverstone high CFM fans are using many blades .
who knows it might work even better wif other fans .
heh
juz an opinion though .
