Hello All,
My first post and my first liquid cooled build. Please provide comments to make this build better. Some parts are yet to arrive.
Posted some pictures of parts that have arrived.














so far all i have done is put the cpu into the board


Couldn't deal with the custom PSU 24 pin layout coming out of Corsair AX850. Purchased Silverstone.
Got EVGA PSU...new one..returned Silverstone

Hey, I have a TH10 and am planning on using much of the same aquacomputer gear. I will be interested in seeing what you do with it.

You should send your A-5 faceplate to Jim and have him powdercoat it for you, that's what I did.



The Aqua rads are very restrictive, so you will have crank the D-5's. Good luck and nice gear, especially the case.thumb.gif

Spent this afternoon painting the faceplate of the Bluray, A5 and a 3.5 bay Akasa multi card carder/usb 3.0.
The A5 is being stubborn, had to resand and doing 2nd try now.

May have to send to Jim at CaseLabs.

Just got my Canon t4i back yesterday; will post pictures once the paint has dried.

Aquaero 5 ; can't get it to fit in 5.25 bay of STH10. I am obviously doing something wrong since so many have installed this on STH10; so if you have STH10 with Aquaero 5, let me know what I am doing wrong.

theseekeroffun is going to help me tomorrow...In the mean time here's the issue.

It looks like Aquaero 5 (LT and XT) are approx. 148MM wide:

And on STH10 case..can't get it to fit ...note left side in photograph - it's off by 1-2 mm...sigh

the top part of Blu Ray painted white:
IMG_0037

IMG_0038

turned out well...especially with Matte coating on that..it feels nice.

Updated first post with new dates for Aquacomputer D5 (9/6) and its adaptor (9/14) for Aqualis. This delay from Aquacomputer would put me out of reach for any RMA's with the entire NewEgg order.

Also getting new Powersupply from EVGA the Supernova....Lost like $100 in just restocking fees with 2 returns on PSU's ..sigh....But hey I am down to one PSU and it definitely seems better.
