Hey all, I've been running 3 Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition fans on my 360mm rad for a few months, and I've never really been content with the noise that they produce. They just seem too loud to me. They're much louder than my other case fans (stock NZXT 140mm fans at 12v) or my pump. I'm just...

Hey all, I'm planning on draining my loop shortly and switching out the tubing due to plasticizer build up. I have a bay res/pump combo (XSPC X2O 750) with a G 1/4" adapter on top and barb fitting with a small piece of hose for filling, and I'm just wondering if it'd be safe to (after removing...

So in a few days I'll be selling my gtx 570 to a friend for his new build. I was planning on upgrading to a HD 7950, but after looking at some benchmarks, I'm thinking about the MSi 7870 HAWK. Nvidia isn't really an option, since I'm looking to spend a maximum of $300, and at that point the...

I have two more final small additions to my build that i will be making, one being adding some white NZXT leds and the other adding some case fans. The stock fans in my Switch 810 are just too loud. I'm wondering what your favorite/ recommended case fan (for air flow, not SP) is. Preferably...

Well, my second ever custom rig is finished (for the most part), and I'm quite satisfied :lol:. Specs: -i5 3570k -MSI Z77A-G45 -EVGA GTX 570 -Corsair Vengeance 8GB -Corsair AX650 -Samsung 830 256gb -Corsair Braided Cables Watercooling: -XSPC Raystorm -XSPC X2O 750 -XSPC RS360 -EK Compression...

Just got my water cooling supplies today, and I'm just wondering what is the best way to flush my rad? I've heard soap + distilled, vinegar + distilled, or just warm distilled. I've heard to fill the rad and let it sit for 20 min or so then shake and I've heard filling it and then immediately...

So I've been planning on ordering the parts for my first loop but I keep second guessing myself. I've already made one of these threads but it's been forever lost in the non-first pages, and I am unable to edit the first post. Anyways, this loop is just going to be for the CPU, and I'm 99%...

Hello. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience mixing Mayhem's dyes and Pastel Coolant. I'm planning on mixing Pastel Ice White and Blue dye to get a Royal Blue pastel color. I know there is the Blueberry pastel, but its more of a baby blue, which doesn't quite match the color scheme of...

I'm going to get a 256gb ssd for my main drive in my new rig, and I'm wondering which is the best ssd at this capacity. I was thinking the Crucial M4 or the Samsung 830. I'm just wondering what ssd you would suggest, as I'm leaning towards the crucial.

I've been on the forums for a few months and have made my share of posts, but never properly introduced myself :p. Anyways, My name's Pat, and this is by far my favorite forum I've ever had the pleasure of using :lol:.

So I need 3 quiet fans with a good static pressure (for an EX360 rad). Even though they're for water cooling, I mean they're fans, so I would think this is the right section, maybe? :confused: Anyway, what my main question is, are Scythe Gentle Typhoons (1450 rpm version) actually quiet? I've...

I'm about to purchase my components for my first loop ever, as some may know. Here's what I have in my cart, and I'm ready to buy. (Getting either Scythe GTs or Silverstone APs from Amazon.) So, anything I should second guess?

So I'm pretty much set on my water cooling components for my first ever wc'ed build, but I'm kinda stuck on the loop. I was just wondering what you would feel is the tidiest way to make this loop with my components. Feel free to voice your opinion on different components, I'm all for...

So in about 2 weeks I'm planning on ordering my water cooling setup, and I'm set on an XSPC RS360 and Raystorm, some Bitspower barbs, and Mayhem's Pastel White coolant, but I'm not quite sure about the pump/res setup. I really don't like the look of a bay res, so that eliminates the XSPC X20 or...
