Quote:Originally Posted by kcuestag Good to hear, my next purchase will be an Alphacool NexXxos UT60 420mm with 3 or 6 Gelid 1200rpm 140mm fans. I've got 2 of the Gelid 140mm on a 280 rad. They have work well (cooling wise) at full...

Just some advice for anyone looking to water cool this card. I've recently purchased on and can confirm that the GPU chip and mounting holes are the same as regular 7870's and the rest of the 6xxx and 7xxx range bar the 7900 series. And...

Just wanted to post on here that the GPU on this card is the same design as other 7870's and basically the rest of the 7xxx and 6xxx range except for the 7900 cards. E.I. the screws are 53.2mm apart rather than 54mm (like on the...

Was thinking about adding some more cooling capacity to my loop so I can cater for the addition of a GPU block. Below is my proposed additions. (You'll need to click to enlarge to read text, red arrows are airflow). Now a few...

Fractal define R3 or R4 +1 Great for silence and I actually love the look of them. I previously only really liked antec's P series till fractal came along with these.

Yeah the R4 should be a decent quite case. Basically a fatter version of the R3 I haven't bought a new air cooler in years but i believe the Cooler Master 212 Evo has good bang for buck at the moment and just put some decent quiet fans...

Didn't mean to promote the noctua's as a choice for this build. I got mine around 5 years ago cause that was the best thing available to me at the time. Theres much better options around. Also how can you like the colour scheme? Sure it...

I've had my R3 for what must be getting close to 12 months and i've been very happy with its quietness so far. I was previously running 2 fans up front, 2 on CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U12P), 1 at back and 1 up top. All fans were Noctua...
