had to remove the fan controller to be able to have the third fan
Sorry for the delay, i just havent got around to doing some tests for temps, but i have now !
Case and insides look exactly as they did before, just a new CPU under the hood.
Was going to get BullDozer, but as its actually pretty crap (at this stage, hopefully the develop it more over the coming 6 months+ ) i will not be getting it and will be getting ivy bridge next year, so my motherboard, Cpu and ram will go up for sale !
temps are on my 360 rad, may add a 240 down the bottom at a later point
AMD 6970 / AMD Phenom 980
low fan low pump - both chips
59c degrees for half hour 930/1420 1200v GPU
69c for CPU 4.27ghz
High fan high pump - both chips
54c degrees for half hour 930/1420 1200v GPU
56c for CPU 4.27ghz
low fan low pump GPU only
54c degrees for half hour 930/1420 1200v GPU
low fan low pump CPU only
62c for CPU 4.27ghz
high fan High pump GPU only
41c degrees for half hour 930/1420 1200v GPU
high fan high pump CPU only
51c for CPU 4.27ghz

duckie, if you spend a lot of time working on the cable routing like i did, it will look amazing,
you can still use the extensions and make it look good, its all about patience for perfection !
send me a pic of the back of your rig, and i could write you how to clean it up really well
Solidarity, thank you ! i have had so many comments towards the colour
i think its about. 13 drops of mayhems dye !

here's a quick preview for whats coming up
(PLEASE NOTE BELOW SECTION IS COPIED FROM MY LOCAL COUNTRY'S FORUM)
Just some quick photo's of the stuff ive done recently
I have ordered the mod top for the D5 Pump as i need it to do the loop i want, and will also give it a nicer look.
i will probably get another radiator from CL next month, and then shortly after get a 6970 from somewhere, and get another Koolance GPU Block overseas as they are the most sexiest i can find, even though its the most expensive block too.
i am making a new top radiator mount to move it closer to the window side panel so that i can have extra fan's without the hassle of it bumping into the ram clip
Front rad will have fans like this :
Fan ->
Fan ->
Fan <- Fan <-
PS, HDD bay will be mounted like it is in the bottom because i cannot access the hdd's when its mounted on its side unfortunately.
also, the NZXT fans will not be used, i will switch them all over to the red led Phobya fans like the ones in the top.
the 5.35" bay is getting a black plexi mounted on the side, i only painted it that creamy white so then the metal which was not powder coated would not stand out under the glass potentially
Top rad will be in full push pull configuration

very much indeed ! the pr0n will get better
thank you sir ! look back hopefully tomorrow and you will more pics !
well. i have a SATA one, but only EVER use it if i am installing windows or something, so it will be slapped in when needed to

Big update ! got my shipment of my Perforated steel, so have spend today making a new top panel piece for the radiator, and did the bottom cover over PSU, and HDD mounts. pop'rivited the the cover panel over the 5.25" bay, is tight and secure. no movement at all which is good.
Bought the EK D5 pump top, but am waiting on some fittings from CL, should be here friday
early next year i will be going to the FrozenCPU site again and will be buying the 45 degree fittings and 4 more 1/2" fittings. Also be getting another EK 360 radiator, hopefully can get that from CL instead of adding a 45usd shipping price ontop of what i all ready want to order. If i have the funds i will be adding another 6970 so will get a block from the states too, as the Koolance blocks are alot nicer. more expensive. but you pay for quality !
SO in about January there will be another big update for this topic
see you then
Have bought more heatshrink and am re'doing my failed attempt of sleeving >.< haha (so pics when all is together of course )
