DDC bay res will be the LOUDEST thing in that rig.... Very bad choice :/

Totally agree with this, I had it in my previous build and couldn't stand the noise level. Opted for a bay top instead and mounted it with a wad of foam. Much better!

Also please remove that USB 3 thing from the back, dear god that looks aweful inside.

Yeah, I didn't realize it would look that bad... I can mount it at the front but I really don't need it... So many USB posts on the motherboard anyway.

Also, y is the bay res so loud?

 

[wassupdoc]

I think it looks brilliant mate

Haha, thanks, but I will remove the USB 3.0 bracket.

What reservoir would you guys recommend over the XSPC BayRes?

I have a 'spare' Koolance PMP 450 pump, so should I use that instead of the MCP355 and buy a new res?

 

[reeper250]

The motherboard looks black in person

 

[reeper250]

Should I run a Parallel or Serial setup with my graphics cards?

Does it make much difference?

 

[reeper250]

I have two pumps, a Swiftech MCP 355 (Laing DDC), and a Koolance PMP450 Variable Speed (Laing D5)

I already bought the XSPC Bay-Res for the MCP 355 pump, but I can sell it to a friend.

If the PMP450 is better, I can buy a reservoir for it.



Decided to use the Laing D5 pump. If anyone thinks otherwise, please state why?

Any suggestions on a reservoir? I do prefer the dual bay resevoirs

I was looking at the Koolance RP450 or 452, but I cannot find one in Australia. Is it possible to get one of these in a single pump edition?

I dunno, I would be interested to know also

I am going to try and get the highest clocks with the highest voltages I feel comfortable with

 

[MaXiMiZe]

Good luck with the OC on that beast

 

[reeper250]

Well, I just bought two EVGA GTX480's and Koolance VID NX480 waterblocks;

Is there a way to change the light colour, or is that blue the coolant?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Wow, those waterblocks look absolutely amazing

. They look like blue L.E.D's to me.

 

[wassupdoc]

There must be a way to change them or they couldn't of built them in

that's my attitude

Dont do parallel, slower flow over both = less heat being taken out of each, if its 1 loop just do cpu > gpu > gpu or gpu > gpu > cpu, makes little to no difference the order aslong as its 1 run.

 

[reeper250]

The waterblocks use LED's to light them up, but they have a strange 4 pin, not the usual 4 pin fan connector though
