BitFenix Shinobi Question

[Dario_92]

As you all know the BitFenix Shinobi has a case badge that you can change. I was wondering if you can buy any that have a led behind it ? I would like it to be black and when my pc is on it would give off the light, if that makes sense.

Thanks, Dario.

I don't think so.
You'd have to get one laser cut.

I saw Tom has it in his TNR build http://youtu.be/_Q92toj3kdE?t=4m32s Is that the LED from the fans at the front shining through ?

 

[airdeano]

yeah, it shines through the carbon vinyl.. no badge.

Oh I have another question, is this watercooling kit good ? http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/XSPC-RayStorm-750-RS360-V4-Pump-WaterCooling-Kit_36405.html I would also like to add a gpu block (gtx670) would this rad handle both of them and would also the pump handle it all ?

 

[Dario_92]

Anyone help me please ?

its a great starter CPU loop kit. but stabbing a GPU and block into it will require
more thought, rads and pump.

for the CPU/GPU loop, minimum 360 (45mm+ thick) for a mediorce overclock.
wanna heavy overclock look into a 240 as a second add-on.
for pumps, look to the D5 or DDC pumps for multi-block appz. the 750 can
do it for a bit, but its design was for single block to live long.
then you have different GPU blocks and for mainly reference cards (non-specialty
elaborate fans) because they dont change the PCB. so look for a refence style
GPU non-FTW will be easier, although some FTW cards can be fitted.

If i was to buy this and whenever i decide to watercool my GPU can I just change the pump out and keep everything else ? Then also add in an extra 240mm RAD

 

[airdeano]

mmmm, no.
the res is designed for that specific pump. so the res and pump will be changed
together. whats the price diff between the 750L and D5 and DDC?

 

[Dario_92]

For the D5 it will cost and extra £100, Is it worth it ?

There is also the solution of looking for 2nd hand gear if you want to save a couple of bucks.
Would be cheaper to setup a correct loop for cpu+gpu.

 

[Dario_92]

I never thought about buying second hand, there is this kit http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Alphacool-NexXxoS-Cool-Answer-360-DDCXT-Retail-Kit_35512.html that comes with the DDC from Alphacool. Would this be able to handle a GPU block and an extra rad ?

 

[FTR.4500MHz]

Yes it will imo since the ddc is a very strong pump. But the pump/res combo has the reputation to be very noisy.

 

[Dario_92]

I cant seem to find any reviews on the kit so i can see what people have to say about it

Here is some info about the res but its not a test.

[Dario_92]

ok after watching that I am going to go against the DDC pump, I think ill have to go for the D5. I will have a look around for some second hand stuff too

 

[FTR.4500MHz]

I have some stuff laying around but ill have to post in the right section. If i have time will do it tonight otherwise it will be done tomorrow.

 

[Dario_92]

Ok no problem, thanks for your help
