Pinnacle 24

Load temps are ~60 and idle temps ~35 I'm happy with those temps. It's gonna be interesting to see what adding the ram and changing out the rad to a 120.3 is gonna do to the temps...

Adding the RAM will reduce your flow

Yes, I think you won't notice a differnece in temps at all. Ram doesn't produce that much heat and the design of the mips cooer is quite free flowing so shouldn't restrict flow. The addition of the pa120.3 from 120.2 will counteract any difference of adding the ram cooler if there is any extra heat dump. Imo the mips cooler looks great, but ram doesn't need water cooling so I think its solely adding to the visual effect of your system.

Agree 100%. Couldn't have said it better myself Only watercooling the ram for the looks and cause it's fun

Well if you've got the money, it doesn't affect the temps of your parts and it looks cool, then I guess it's nice xD

I've looked at all your photos of your build and they all are closeups, the photos that are taken further any of the whole case are blurry. Can you take some more pictures of the entire case, and some of the hdd area, and behind motherboard tray. The pinnacle24 looks the tits but has little area to hide cables as the case is very open, so cable management is very important. Thanks

I will take more pictures when I install the stuff I'm waiting for. The only place you can hide cables are behind the mb-tray and up in the roof. So it's not that easy to do a clean cable management. Especially with single sleeved cables like I have, it tends to get bulky. As far as hdd:s goes, you just mount them on a 120mm fan where you like them to be. All in all it's a great case for watercooling.

That white looks awesome man. That's a sweet computer. Nice build.

Really sweet contrast and great sleeving job!!!!

Very nice dude, I really love the look of the clear water cooling. I think clear tubes would look really good too, but they always look a bit frosted to me :/

I yhink the clear tubing would ruin this harmony of white and black... ...

 

[AquaMuscle]

Thanx for the comments guys. Appreciate it. I will upload some new pictures soon...

 

[siravarice]

Can't wait to see them!

Update! So I tried the enermax cluster fans first and didn't like them at all. They looked kind of purple instead of white. NOT good. So I got these black xigmatek fans with white LED:s. So far I think they do my system justice. I'm very picky when it comes to fans. It also is a very easy way to change the overall look of your system. I really like my Mips RAM cooler to, just looks sweet

Xigmatek They look amazing indeed! nice work again

U have the same fancontroller I have?

 

[AquaMuscle]

Thanx man. I got the "Scythe Kaze Server 5.25inch Fan Controller". By the looks of it, I think you have the same.
