Hey everyone!
It's my birthday today and received some water cooling parts
So I've been busy learning and fitting everything together.
Had great fun doing it and didn't find it too hard at all really.
Tested it inside the case without the MB or anything but the pump running.
No leaks or problems and within an hour or so it was pretty much air free
After wondering how much of a difference it would make to my temps I can gladly say I am extremely impressed!!
Some of you may remember I was hitting 100 degrees C with a stock air cooler :bonk:
Well I ran a quick test tonight and was reaching 50 degrees C at 100% load. A HUGE improvement
Now for some photos. By no means great pictures photography wise as I took them quickly whilst un-boxing and fitting together.
1 - Had trouble finding the suitable screws to mount the fans onto the rad (hence the odd ones) However, I've just found a packet of screws which came with the rad! :bonk:
2 - All 3 fans fitted and wired up.
3 - Water block mounted to motherboard.
4 - All finished!
5 - CPU water block mounted and compression fitting tighten.
6 - Plenty of space between the slim rad and motherboard.
