watch TTL YouTube video mate you can get a 360mm rad in the roof of the hafx in push pull.

i have got the haf x with a rampage 4 extreme with a asus GTX670 i have a H80 at the moment but i will be going for full water cooling looking at the XSPC Raystorm D5 RX360 CPU Water Cooling Kit.
Your rig is looking bitching mate have you changed the front fan on the haf x as im shore it come with a red led's??

I didn't change the front fan, I soldered in new green LEDs into the stock fan which had red LEDs.

They say they've fixed the pump issue, but after having bought one the other day withthe same issue i am skeptical, Get a really nice air cooler or one of the XSPC kits IMHO.
Oh and dem rams :drool:

 

[StreekG]

I have the best air cooler already, havik 140 and D14 are as good as they come. I was thinking about the Deepcool Gamerstorm Assassin or Silverstone HE01 but the gains would be too minimal.

New RAM looks awesome

Thanks!

Despite what i've heard from some users, i'm going to trust Corsair on this one, my H100 should arrive this week, along with a couple of Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm fans. I'll see how the two large 200mm fans work in pull mode, hopefully ok...

 

[StreekG]

So i decided to try a H100 + a pair of Scythe Gentle Typhoons. I could've gone a push/pull arrangement but i think the space would be really tight so i have the top 200mm fans in there normal place. But i'm not changing them out for 120mm fans as i modded the top fans for green LEDS.


All in all it is a good experience so far. I thought cooling would be better, but I don't think this or any air cooler was supposed to keep my rig cool with 1.456V and 4.68 GHz with HT on.
So i lowered my OC to 4.53 with HT on and ram running at 2133. The difference in benchmark scores are questionable, so i am happy to keep her at 4.53 now as it means the core voltage doesn't go over 1.375V

Comparing this rig now, to what i started out with, i am quite proud of what i've done so far
She looks 200% better and the H100 makes it look a lot more neat and tidy

Now... How do i turn off the graphics card LEDs?, i hate the blue

Looks very good mate,
but personally i would of turned the rad around so the hoses come from the back , seems a bit nicer in my head...

That first picture is the sexiest bit of tech pr0n I've seen in a while :drool:

 

[seumasbeathan]

Well now that is beautiful

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it
I think i'm done for the time being. I can't think of anything else that needs doing, only another SSD, but that is not news worthy.
