Ouch, listening this make me feel......
Feeling bad now huhuhu.

I heard that Cyntrix offer a kit with 120MM Radiator , if i grab that kit would it be any problem is adding another loop for gpu in the future , (with bigger casing of course)

The kit cost RM5XX , the kit that Cyntrix offer.

Sorry, asking too much question. Hope all sifu don't mind helping out. hehe

Man.. that is some tight squeeze...

hope all goes well! really hope to see some pics when you succeed.

Yeah i know , due to the small case i had chosen last time , really regretted saving the money for psu thought.

What to do

Will sure post picture when i succeed Inspiration from sifus , and member. Really seeing their rig picture. Hope mine got 50% of them then ok liao

What case is that?

My advise is lots & lots of research bro...

I had an adventure squeezing a rad on my previous case too.

Xigmatek Asgard 382.

A small case thought.


I see.

Not sure which kits Cyntrix offers. But pretty sure he's got a 240 kit also.

As for extending your loop in the future, it won't be a problem. You might feel like changing you pump though. That is if you buy an XSPC 720 pump and not the D5 pump which costs more.

XSPC Raystorm Intel Block (AMD not included)
-XSPC EX120
-XSPC H2O v4 Pump
-XSPC Premium Tubing 7/16" 6ft (Clear/White/Black)
-XSPC Black Chrome 7/16" Compression Fittings x 6
-XSPC 120mm Radiator Gasket
-Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM / Phanteks F120S PWM Fans x 1
-CT Premium distilled Coolant - 1L - Any Color

Cost RM570 , is it worth? But , the rad is 120 , would it be a problem?

The price is quite rough too >_<

That's a real neat case! if done well it will look amazing!

I think that's a great deal! everything already accountable for & you don't have to think much about it!

As you only looking to cool CPU, 120 is sufficient for now but overclocking may not be sufficient.

first, ur casing not that bad.
people can wc in a mini-ITX casing, ur casing is ATX size
should not be a problem, use ur creativity to work it out
my suggestion is, i see ur case can fit 2x 140mm fan at top
so the screw hole is not limited with 2x 120mm, so u can try to install the 240 rad by moving the position a little further away from the mobo
although u cant screw all the 8 holes, but as long as it wont fall down or vibrate then should be okay

second, that kit is not really that worth IMO
from 240 rad to 120 rad, 2 XSPC fan to 1 SGT fan. (FYI, XSPC fans are almost on par with SGT in term of performance)
with that budget,
premium tubing? stock tubing will do too, u can upgrade it later
compression fittings? barb fittings are the same
coolant? u may save ur maintenance by using distilled water

That's very true! some things are esthetics only but may not be better in performance.

+1

Also ValityMental you don't really need the gasket.

does anyone still use CCFL lighting? or has everyone abandoned ship and are all using LEDs now?

CCFL burned my LED Controller. Hate those stuff.

LOL. I'm not surprised. Wrong power requirement la bro.

Is it true when they say CCFLs run hot?

Nope, the power spike caused my LED controller to burned. Still able to control 12v DC to 620v DC or AC IDK.

and, not that hot, just warm.

Would you recommend CCFLs in a case with terrible air exchange?

I don't recommend CCFL with any case at all. Bad light distribution ( some part will dim/bright depending on your luck ) . Need a bulky transformer. Hard to install ( not as easy as plug and play like LED ).

Better off with LEDs.

Well, if you have CCFL lying around your house, and decided to make use of it, and put into some system , then go with it. I've put mine in my 2nd system.

i used the UV CCFL few months ago, the light distribution is much better than LED strip TBH
haha but heat and cable are the main issue

Shouldn't the distribution be better than led? oO.

Saw this and was thinking of doing something similar. haha.



So heat is an issue then? Cable can sleeve.

hmm depends, i using the lamptron CCFL
the cable is fixed at the CCFL tail
