angliaboy's Rig

[angliaboy]

That is a nice rig you have there

Congrats, have fun with that beast!

Also nice scores you got.

But the coolit alc c240 is around the same amount it cost me to do my custom watercooling loop. Well the price on ebuyer was around 120 my custom watercooling kit 140. Not a large price difference

Thanks, nice to hear someone having something positive to say, with regard to custom cooling well because fo the heat the GTX 480's kick out I would need quite a set up with some big rads or a water chiller which is why it would cost me a lot more

ither way its still a fancy air cooler,not even that fancy if you cant OC a 32nm chip

This will be my last reply to you in this thread because you clearly have a desire to try and be antagonistic towards people.

Tbh AMD, with 2 480's in there, the internals of the case will probably be much warmer than most people's cases and as heatsinks/radiators can only cool to the ambient case temp, it's not really surprising that his radiator should appear to under-perform. Sure he *might* be slightly better off with the D14 or a proper watercooling set-up, but I wouldn't go saying thats it's rubbish by any stretch.

Btw Anglia mate, nice job sorting out the cable mess, it looks waaaaay better now

Cheers buddy, Ive done some more since I took those pics as well now i have the freedom to take apart my own PC

It just depends when I get time because I have 2 kids that Im sure would love to mess about with the inside of my PC if I gave them half a chance

I was just referring to the CPU waterblock and loop. Didnt take in account the 480s

Double Post sorry: And no problem, I was thinking about watercooling my 5870 to bring down the ambient temperature of my case. Love watercooling, after I set it up i'm sure there was at least a 10 degrees drop on the GPU temps aswell. Looking forward to seeing what the overall temps will be when that is watercooled aswell

Nice you've made it look a lot neater

. Man, they couldn't even include black cable ties! White cable ties, ugh!

Nice Rig!

I have a question about the fan controller. I've heard the NZXT Sentry 2 makes the fan produce a lot of noise. Is that true?

What kind of noise? In no way is it a silent rig but I haven't got a before and after to compare with, its had the sentry from the start.

Do you just mean a noisy fan or uncomfortably noisy like a noise it shouldn't be making?
