Hmm....ok, I will remember that plastic sheet. I made that mistake 10 years ago when I build a PC for a client. Well, I've read the manual a few times just to make sure I got everything. All my other parts are on the way with the courier now, and I will start the job once everything is here. Thanks, guys.

Sure will do when I get it done.

Lau, I believe the best way is 1st using Google Images to find pictures of water cooling setup in the case you are using. Then you will have a good idea on how and where to place the res and rad and how to run the tube. Have your case stripped down on the table, get a seat, look at it, and work out your idea bit by bit...most important thing, don't rush.

Oh man, that looks awesome!! By the way, mind to share how you did the white lighting?

I bet it's gonna look like million dollar pc when it's done. Damn...I like that dual tube res.

jack, what happened to your case?

Damn...it does look like Knight Rider.

I haven't put the GTX nickel block into the loop...but just wondering if it's ok if I only use distilled water without any other thing?

Oh man...you guys setup is beautiful!

jack, if the mobo block and the CPU block are on the same height, then can simply use the 90degree barbs, like the one in black color that's already on your mobo. Looks good too with a pair of parallel 45degree orientation tube.

Water cooling can be quite a disastrous if not done properly and carefully. I once had a tubes disconnected from the barb when I was tilting the PC to bleed out the air, and the water sprayed all over on the mobo...and the worst, I forgot to unplug the 4-pin molex on the mobo...it was a stupid careless mistakes I made. The PC won't power up after everything was done, got pissed off, I went out yam cha with friends. Luckily when I came home after few hours, the PC started up without any issues. Lucky...

jack, these are the examples:



By the way, that kink looks real bad. With the pump pushing the water, that kink is a big restriction for the flow. Pressure will build up, and leak will occur at weak connection point. At worst situation, it's possible that the tube will disconnect from the barb fitting and spraying water all over the place...

That's a neat plumbing work.

Finally, after few days of operation, the "surgery" is done.

Preparation on both cases...


Some views...




Air bleeding in progress...



Ready for duty.

Yup. I was planning to get the TJ07 initially, but then it will cost me around RM1500-1600 including shipping. So I thought better I top up a little bit and get something different.

Thanks guys.

Yea, unfortunately that's the price I get from a local IT store. Online will be little bit cheaper, modernoPC is selling the TJ07 Black for RM1299, PosLaju to my home will be another RM202. So that will add up to RM1501... That's why after some sleepless night, I decided to top up RM400 and get the M10 instead.

Wow...what happened to EK? That mobo block issue looks unacceptable though. A block without loop hole? Means one thing, no QC check...

By the way, LAU, with my noob setup, I'm still far from being a big boss...

Fan controller. Or you can use the mobo utility if there is one. Besides, fans have different cfm/pressure:noise ratio too. A lot of people recommended Gentle Typhoon, so I bought a few to try out...my opinion on that typhoon thing, man, once you use that, most probably you won't look into any other fans anymore. I use them on my RX360 rad with fan controller. Either push or pull, you can feel the strong air flow from the other side of the rad, even at half of its speed (I use the 4500rpm unit). My previous CM Excalibur, it just can't compete even running at full speed vs GT at half its speed.

Before I bought that fan, I read through this thread...and the number of this GT on your rig is simply . So I thought, if a hardcore enthusiast is covering all his rads with this fan, it must be something worth the money...that's one of the reasons I give it a try. And man, I got thank you for your picture. Simply the best fan I have ever bought.

Not sure about that though. I ordered mine from online store...

All of mine are 4250rpm version, and all running at around 2500rpm with fan controller. Sounds good.

USD22.95 without shipping. Bought mine together with other stuffs...so I think its price is pretty good.
