Was after £20-25 shipped, that aluminium is cheap but these panels are already cut, vented and will bolt straight on. The front panel would also take some effort to make and look 'right' due to have to properly line up for the LCD display. The front panel I have is factory and will bolt on with no effort and everything will line up.

I wouldn't use it on a 3770k as it wouldn't cope, a 2500k at 5Ghz would push the unit to the limits and a much hotter running hyper thread enabled 3770k would push it well over the limits at a medium overclock.

My old Mach 2 GT was tuned for 220w just like your unit and my 2500k at 5Ghz @ 1.4Vcore running Intel Burn Test would push the EVAP down to -19/20c which was right on the limits of the unit.

Looks like I'm getting a new unit lol. Just gotta wait. I'll think about the panels but honestly I was hoping this could do better.

I'm genuinely angry I missed that unit you got and that I didn't go for the rotary single stage for 275 that looked pretty good. sad-smiley-002.gif

Ive been offered. Little devil unit for £250 shipped which is cheap as they're monster units, not really interested in it because I have those unit now, could give you sellers email?

Best thing to do is try it, it depends how it's rated but as its running the stock EVAP and consensor I wouldn't count on it holding a 300w load.

It might manage it as each phase builder rates units differently.

Yes my Lian Li combo was a star buy, I was the only one that budded on it and to the say the seller was gutted at how cheap it sold for was an under statement.

That rotary unit from Ireland I assume is what you're talking about? It's a good unit and was very cheap but it's around 4-5x the physical size of your unit and would consume 2-3x the electricity.

On a different note I'm after a chillcontrol unit that your unit has, fancy coming up with a deal?

Could you explain to me what a chill control unit is, and yes I would be interested in that LD unit. Sorry about taking 13 minutes to reply, I'll be ready to reply instantly now, I'm guessing that it makes sure the unit turns on at the right time?

It's that green control PCB that you're unit has.

I'll PM you the guys email address, he's a bit slow to reply sometimes but little devils units are beasts....

That's essential for it to turn on isn't it? Google tells me it's expensive...

Not essential and not expensive, just a bit hard to come by these days...
