Still can't get over the size of the Susanoo, it's almost as big as the mobo

If you have time Ian can you do a quick vid of the Susanoo so we can see it in action and how loud it is.

 

[BigIan88]

Theres a PCI fan controller included so its adjustable

 

[SieB]

Ahh, good job really I bet that thing is deafening on full blast.

 

[BigIan88]

Not as loud as you might think mate, i`ll make a video if thats wht you guys want

[SieB]

Thanks for the vid Ian, even got the TTL thumb action in there

It's no where near as load as I thought it was going to be though.

 

[ciksas]

Nice build log keep up the good work, but aint that a little to much thermal paste??

 

[tinytomlogan]

Looking forward to seeing how this all pans out now!

 

[cerbrus2]

nearly spat my tea out when I saw the size of the cooler.

 

[Karlos_the_n00b]

Thanks for the vid mate. That was cool

 

[BigIan88]
