If anyone wants to buy anything from PPC, shoot me a PM within the next few days. I'm helping arrange a shared shipping bulk so if anyone wants anything from PPC, let me know. I don't know when the next round will be.

Hi all wc sifu~~ biggrin.gif I wanna ask if I'm going for custom wc my cpu and gpu together is 240mm rad are already enuff? or I need to go with 360mm rad? My Casing is NZXT Phantom 530 so its enuff for a 360mm rad. Just need opinion from u guys. biggrin.gif

That's a very nice case to water cool in. Very friendly and spacious.

Just get a 360 if you can afford it. watch out for the thickness coz otherwise it'll bump into your mobo.

guys may i ask, looking to build my first watercooling setup, possibly going for an xspc raystorm rs240 kit (rm499), my question is  what casing can easily install this wc kit.currently looking at the cm 690 3 casing for rm320, are there better alternatives or should i just go with that casing, want to setup my wc kit without much mod to the casing. thanks

Depends on your budget really. There are many cheap cases that can accommodate dual 120mm fans nowadays. But the ones that do it really well are more expensive. So, what is your budget?

QUOTE(Lucassss @ Oct 14 2013, 09:25 PM)
Depending on your components and objective. If you're doing it on the cheap then basically any case that can accommodate a 240mm rad will do.

This suggestion pretty much backs me up. haha.

around 300-350max for casin. i just want the cable management to be managable, currently using cm elite431, fits 240 mm rad too at top, but cable managment really lousy one, that's why looking at cm 690 3, size quite nice(quite big), good cable management price around 312 so within budget. cm storm scout 2 also look good one, price 280. but kinda small. later wan mod(add gpu loop etc) no space right?
*
If you want something large with plenty of space and stuff, can consider some of fractal design, bitfenix. I think some of corsair ones do pretty alright. not so sure on CM side though.

unequalteck corsair how, can ah? lol

Lucassss Fractal suggestion?

irienaoki tag you coz you play with too many cases already. tongue.gif

ill wait for responses from sifu sifu for casing then haha, btw, my my corsair gs600w psu can 'tahan' watercooling? i look at pics mostly ppl use 700w+ psu, later scare spend so much already then my psu cannot tahan 1 no use also
*
What's in your rig anyway?

600 will work fine, I doubt you'll have a lot of power sucking devices for your water cooling loop at the beginning. Once you start going a little nuts like how some of us have, then maybe you'll feel safer with more juice.

well in my rig currently is
i5 2500k
gtx560(maybe will replace with r9-280x one day)
2tb wd caviar green
4gb ram
cm 212 evo
3-4 artic pwm fans
corsair gs600w psu

well kinda like a basic pc, didn't thought of watercooling at that time. thought of overclocking, then i tried, scare my pc go boom, so just restore to default setting and use for decent gaming(dota 2 league of legends etc etc).
after 2 years now only interested in wc'ing.
*
oh you'll be fine with the 600w for now. though when you do upgrade to that 280x, you might wanna chg out your psu to a more reliable one since you'll definitely be tempted to watercool the 280x and max out it's potential.

i c, i'll probably buy a 800w modular psu to make my pc more clean looking, (yes have a reason to buy new psu now) , wanna water cool the r9, need new waterblock, wc really cekau my poket like this.Around  rm2000 fly out of pocket like that if think again  cry.gif

Haha. Consider getting a Super Flower PSU if you want to keep it cheap but good. Super Flower PSUs are available locally already.

When you get your R9, pls get a reference so you'll have more choices for your block. Otherwise, if you must, get an Asus DCUii card and nothing else. Then at least EK will have a block for you.

Don't count it. You'll just want to mega_shok.gif at the end of it. haha. Can always buy in stages. thumbup.gif

infernoaswen!!! Apparently the MOSFET block for the gene will also fit the hero! EK doesn't have plans for a full cover for you board.

Check out the MOSFET block and let me or unequalteck if you want. I'm ordering from PPC. Teck is ordering from ek direct.

yea, cyntrix dont have stock. currently using the white bitspower adapter (the most expensive adapter) doh.gif
thinking of going full red, if no choice then only go for matt black..also looking for a 90 degree Female to Female adapter to join the acrylic tubing rclxub.gif
if no choice then might replace it with Q plus fitting connector (which is very expensive doh.gif )

Bro, can get the red adapters from me. I'm ordering from PPC soon. Can get by the end of the month.

no offense but this thread is kinda boring already, even I also rarely visit here anymore. I am sure most of you regular guys also feel the same thing right? Cant be me alone tongue.gif

Makes me wonder whether the Bitfenix Prodigy M flex feet things can support a fully water cooled rig with all the bells and whistles. Someone should try. laugh.gif

Checking once a while should suffice. Helping, answering question, asking question, a little bit showing their stuff and such. biggrin.gif

I'm giving off example, Who's selling corrosion inhibitor? Or it's bad for your loop? Or that's just marketing strategy, you don't need it? tongue.gif

Aww, nobody take my question seriously. sad.gif
*
Rarely see people use or sell corrosion inhibitors any more. If got or want also it's in coolants. If you wanna buy separately, can try automotive fluid section in hardware stores and hypermarket.

Your loop having mixed metal issue or something bro?

And welcome back. smile.gif
