How about without the black ? Looks good to my eyes, maybe in context or in case or a 24 pin would convince me. No fear, but I dunno that I'd ever start up with all this sleeving, tho I got sleeving and crimper coming.
@ Mandrix - you trying to be funny ? huh ?! who's funny around here !?
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)Here's how a typical day goes when I wander over to the build table. I have the top and bottom rad and the oversized psu in - can you see my screwup ?
I didn't remember to try the psu cabling !! theres an 1.5" of space ... means I gotta take out the rad again, try the cabling, see if the rad can go back in, and if not, I have a spare 850 psu that's standard length. That's typical. For me. On this w/c build.
I have 2 extra radiators, because
1. I stupidly tried the 480 with ports to the rear, and it hit against the pci slot cage, without switching the rad around to try it. So I compounded my stupidity by ordering up a rx360.
Kind fellow - DarkHollow - prodded me in the Azza - pun intended
- thread to re-try the 480, its gotta fit, his SR-1 360 does !! Long story short, I flipped the 480, it fits !
2. I couldn't get the 20mm spacer onto one of the 480's ports - need the spacer to drop the 1/2' x 3/4" hose below the fan coz there's no room. I didn't want to force it ... but I could fit any other fitting to the port, but none of the 4 spacers. I put in a support email to HWL - I'd had the rad for 6 weeks, so no RMA, but I emailed p-pcs about it. They returned, after a few hours, an email with a pic of an SR-1 with 20mm spacer attached to the port - no problem ! And told me to force the spacer onto my rad. So I got smart, for a change, and took the rad out ... and was able to force 2 of the spacers onto that stubborn port
However, in the few hours waiting on a Friday afternoon, I decided to order up the AX480 rad from fcpu, coz it gets here in 2days, if shipped the day I order it. I knew I was taking a chance .. I knew that p-pcs wouldn't give an RMA on the 480, but I convinced myself to buy the AX480
Well, so now I have 2 extra rads at about a cost of $200 that are sitting here useless. Its a major brain blow to me, not to say disheartening, coz when I can work on the build, I get lost in that space/time thang ... and actually enjoy it all. But with knuckleheaded moves like the above - I'm always stubbing my toe, learning how to walk in this w/c land - its intimidatin, ya know ? And don't tell me the 2 rads are the perfect opportunity to man up and get a CL merlin !!! I don't know what I'm gonna do with the Azza - my daily pc has an OC.ed 2600k and a GTX SC 580 that is more than fine enough for the gaming and OCN surfing
I'm resisting all this excess I guess, but sooner or later its gonna take hold or root ...
ps. gonna save people the bother with my drivel
