Water Cooling Storm Sniper

[S_I_N]

Ok so pricing out my wc setup just gonna be cpu (might add gpu later is why the 360 rad) Now I am far from new to wc but it has been a long time since I have done it and things have changed alot since then (just used distilled water back then) heres what I currently have priced out but the only thing I am uncertain of is the fluid I chose. This prices out to 335$ USD prior to shipping. I found a similar kit (only diff is its the black Rasa XSPC block versus the Rasa Ultimate. And it priced as a kit for 190$ USD minus the 45degree fittings and fluid. Just wanted opinions about the fluid and the difference between the blocks I'm assuming the Ultimate is a better performing block. Anyways thansk for looking and commenting.

ex-liq-10 PrimoChill ICE Non-Conductive Liquid Cooling Fluid (32 oz.) - Clear $19.99 $39.98

ex-tub-432 PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 7/16"ID 5/8" OD with 3/32" Wall - Clear $2.25 $22.50

ex-res-161 XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir Pump $76.95 $76.95 ex-blc-771 XSPC Rasa High Performance Acetal CPU Liquid Cooling Block (Sockets LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366) $66.99 $66.99

ex-rad-146 XSPC RX360 Triple 120mm Radiator Rev 2. $101.99 $101.99

ex-tub-628 Bitspower G1/4" Matte Black Rotary 45 Degree G1/4" Adapter (BP-MB45R) $12.99 $25.98

Another note I may have to go with the 240 rad depending on fit. I'll be taking the Storm Sniper thru this process and still need to measure everything out. Oh and also this does not include fans where-as the XSPC RX360 and RX240 kits do. But thats not a major concern for me as I will very likely use Green Sickle Flows. Above is the singly priced parts and below is the kit

And as always please if something is better please say why and not just that its shit lol.

And the Storm Sniper will be getting a major overhaul during this process and a build log will of course be posted as I go. First I need to find a decent el-cheapo case to house my rig in as I hack and slash the Sniper apart lol. Actuaqlly calling it a Storm Sniper after this would be wrong

as I said major changes

I say go with the kit, mostly because you will save money for other bits. I dont see a difference in the blocks other than the one has a chrome/nickel finish. Not sure about the tubing that comes in the XSPC kits. I traded it out for something different. The Primochill coolant is supposed to work well, I have not tried it yet, but might with my newest build.

 

[S_I_N]

well the primochill fluid is just til Mayhem gets his Aurora's thru testing I fell in love with some of them. I want green fluid but all I can find is UV puke greens and those wont work with my changes. They might but I doubt it lol. As far as the nickle block thats just the one I linked lol there is a all black version I found afterwards that I will most likely get as I plan on paining part of it to match the case.

I alos singly priced it at performance pc and it was cheaper but not all the same minor bits like fittings lol. Seems FrozenCPU is way over priced the rad at FCPU is like 90$ and at PPC 84$ the big difference was on the pump res combo 69 at FCPU and 49 at PPC

That is going to be a major mod on the sniper case

looking forward to see how a 62mm thick rad is fitted .

Maybe some 30,60 and 90 degree fittings would end up handy .But i think you have it all covered.

Black bitspower fittings looks sweet,but they are a little too expensive for my taste.

 

[mayhem]

what colour green you after. If you after colour match i can help you out.

And i wouldn't touch primoshill liquids with a barge pole fesser and Thermochill are much better in every way. Primoshill has to sell its liquids clear because if they add there dyes direct to the mix after a few months it's separates. that is why they sell them with dye bobs because if they don't the dye BOMBs out in there liquids (pmsl) the only thing keeping the dye together when in you pc is your pump.

***Yeh primoshill copy me and ill show the world what you fluids are really like .....***

Prmoshill pre-mix left to stand for two months ->

yeah but the chrome ones just wont go well with rest of build I was thinking along those lines as well making sure I had what I needed on hand instead of pulling a smash head on desk job after finding out I missed something lol. And a small hit can you say " Rasie the Roof"

[sheroo]

Lookin' interesting S_I_N. Looking forward to you modding the hell out of that Sniper.

 

[S_I_N]

well last night after I made this post I saw the Guv had posted a vid of the Caselabs M8 case so I wanted to say thats not the vid I was referring to when I said raise the roof lol. While I have some skilz in modding I dont have the ability (tools) to make a new roof section to actually raise it in that way. MY idea deals with modifying the existing roof lol. But thats just an idea for now I have another one in mind as well just have to get her taken apart and get to measuring it out. But first I need a case to house my rig in first. I had thought to just make a platfor with the box but as I have a 3 and 5 y.o. with me half the week and this is gonna take a few weeks to plan out and execute I cant risk it getting damaged my 3y.o. is autistic and doesnt understand dont fark with daddys stuff lol. So a case will have to be acquired first.
