Well guess I bought more than I needed, but it happens, and I'll live with it haha I got the bullet so now I just need the fillport. I actually bought some tubing to replace what came with the kit, and got 10ft of it, so I'm guessing I'll have enough to do what you were talking about So I guess all in need is:

T fitting
male/male rotary
2 Compressions
1 Female barrel.

Yeah they sent me the AMD block only, which kinda sucks but its because they didn't have any in stock and weren't planning to get anymore. I may email their support and make the claim to see if they'll send me the Intel one too and never use performance pc again.

Thanks for all the advice on stuff to make my HAF more awesome hoping within the next few weeks I'll have all I need and can start setting it up.

I have the coolant, but I've read bad things about coolant so not sure if I should use it. Will prolly just stick to distilled water.

Edit:
I've read about "racks" that you can set your PC up in while you mod your case and was wondering where you get those. May take some time for me to set all this up since its my first time and I want to get new fans and some UV lights set up in it as well. Any ideas where to get some or which to buy? Think I'm going to buy a second HAF case too in case I mess up modding the first one I'd buy a cheapo, but why practice on a different case than the one you plan to use

Edit 2:
Also, what fan types should I be using to replace the ones in the Haf 932? Not sure what size they are, how many, or how much air the stock ones displace.

So many questions, so little time

Edit 3:
I guess what I really need to know is should the stock fans be replaced?

Oh, don't get it twisted! She's not into it, she just rolls hers eyes too when I tell her I got new fans for it and it's watercooled, etc. She just wants it to work for internets and printing. Ha ha. She figures as long as I am home she can talk to me when I'm tweaking stuff. Also I have to make sure she gets attention and we catch up. I'm working and she is off due to baby, so she gets pretty bored at home.

I really like the HAF series but for watercooling, I'm really looking into the Switch 810. That's the bee's knees!

Alas, I just don't want to spend more for another case. I already have a 10+ yr old Lian Li and an old cheiftech case just sitting here in my room. I won't use them probably but they are just too nice to throw away. Doubt anyone would want to buy them.

Does anyone know if swapping out the stock grille side panel for the OEM acrylic windowed panel would dampen psu fan noise at all or would it just be a waste of $18?

check this did a little cable managment and underbody light kit yepperz looking great only if i had another 2500$ to just blow on this computer lol

So lemme get this straight. You got the Acrylic/Acetal block setup? Those only come one or the other. Were you clear that you wanted the Intel one and not the AMD unit? I may be misunderstanding which is which is why I ask for clarification.

In any case it seems you have enough time before you set up since you have to flush your radiator and have other things coming. Just contact them and see if they can help you. No need to stop going to them over this unless it absolutely holds you up.


You won't be using the top fan(230mm) when you install your radiator. When I installed my loop I removed all but the front 230 fan. But since you won't have a mainboard block your nb still needs to be cooled. So the 140 and the 230 on the door probably need to be retained.

The 140 I think is a mid level CFM fan. Probably comes in round 1500rpm or so if I remember correctly. Replaced mine with a Yate Loon D14SH-14 High Speed Silent. The 230s' are 110(+/-10%)cfm.

It won't hurt to get another case. But if you're going to cut you don't need one(unless you really want one) You can mock it up in Google Paint first and if you need something tactile to touch you can mock the doors up with cardboard or construction paper and use some masking to secure it to get the look you're going for right. Then use some contact paper on both sides of the door to keep the Powder Coat clean and use a stencil to trace your pattern on it prior to cutting. Once it looks good to you you can start your cutting. But don't be in a hurry. Rushing things inevitably leads to mistakes. 99.9999999% of all modding gaffs are due to rushing through the process.

Don't need a bench for leak testing. You can get one if you wish but I used full length tubing for leak testing and did the cutting only when the board and everything was mounted in my 932. Only had 8 feet of tubing so I had to make sure I got it on the first try. Only had to redo one piece and that was the fillport tube because it was too short.


Looks good bro, but it would help if we could see the cables when you show off your cable management.
