LTX blocks alone are sold for AMD or Intel but kits have parts necessary to make them compatible with both . This is from EKWB's LTX kit description :
Quote:
This water cooling kit is compatible with the following CPU sockets:
- Intel LGA-775
- Intel LGA-1155/1156
- Intel LGA-1366
- Intel LGA-2011
- AMD Sockets: 939, 754, 940
- AMD Sockets: AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+

Back to good ol' air, water frustrated me after two years and it's time to tinker around and see if I can freshen her up, still has a lot of tweaks ahead, but the major painting I wanted to do is pretty much done, need some touch ups cause I messed up the paint around the power/reset/fan switch area. Crappy phone pic:

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. wink.gif
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. biggrin.gif

No I got the LTX like you suggested. They only sent me the AMD block though. If they sent me the wrong block I'll defintely be contacting them. I'll post a picture when I get home to have you guys tell me if they screwed me. I will be contacting them to get my Intel block though, as that's what the kit is supposed to have and I may switch to Intel at some point.

I do need to read up on what to do to get it ready, as it has been a while since I read about WCing. Figure I might as well prep while I wait for my silver bullet, green tubing and new HAF 932 case wink.gif

I will have to pick up some contact paper though and figure out how to use it, haven't done this stuff since high school metal class about 11 years ago.. ha. I mainly wanted the bench to have my comp setup while I do the mod so figured I'd just buy a new case to mod so I can take my time on it. I'm ok with spending money so I can take my time and do it right.

Going with a blue and green theme; not sure how good it'll look, but we'll find out. Green tubing and blue LEDs. Want to get some UV lights to put in along the top; where would I find some that resemble the LED lights in Ceadder's rig? Can't remember who else has those tubes of LED lights, so sorry if I offended by only mentioning Ceadder.

They are NZXT 2M Red Sleeved LED Kit, 3-Step Light Sensitivity, Model: CB-LED20-RD, got em from Directron of all places thru FleaBay. They are a little Dim but when paired with a CCL it's a reasonable amount of light for the 932. Still looking for some more light and will eventually get CCL for Res as well. Sposed to have a CCL in it but I got it with burned out UV not included.

Performance actually has some good stuff there and their shipping isn't too bad. I know that you aren't happy with getting an "AMD" block but if you got the metal retention bracket, maybe the box itself contains the Intel bracket too. My HF Supreme came with both. This being a lower end block though that might not be the case. I can't really say what's involved there since I've never had one of the kits or the lower end blox. thinking.gif

But yeah if you feel comfortable with a practice case go for it. Not only is it nice to have a backup plan but it gives you another case to fill when you are ready for an upgrade or to expand your computer arsenal. thumb.gif

Soon as I can get me a Dremel I really wanna go to town. I got a hole to cut in the Left side door and 2 to cut in Right side door. Got me a need to cut but with a burnt out Dremel in the shop at my ma's house I can't cut the cheese let alone 1/16" steel. frown.gif

Quick question for everyone who is sporting UV lighting: Aren't you afraid of irradiating your nether-regions? I'd imagine most people would have their cases on the floor next to their legs. And if its on a table up top, what about irradiating your arms, etc? AFAIK, UV isn't the greatest thing to be exposed for extended periods of time - ya know, cancer and all those other nasties.

Thats actually the only thing thats stopping me from getting UV reactive tubing for my next build tongue.gif

Do you wear a moomoo and sunhat out during the day to stay out of the sun? wink.gif

I seriously doubt there is enough electricity to make an computer UV device "irradiate" your nether regions. lachen.gif

Hey, hey, don't be hatin' on my moomoo tongue.gif

I was just curious is all. I mean even a small dose for an extended period CAN be as "lethal" as a small acute dose. But hey, if everyone is doing it, must be safe...right? thumb.gif

Alright guys... I think I have hung back long enough and am finally about to move forward with customizing my HAF 932. I put everything together around 2 weeks ago with the plan to water cooling and change some of the LEDs/get different fans. I'll post pictures soon. It's nothing fancy yet...

I'm looking to get the following.

Rad: XSPC RX360 V2

Fans Push/Pull: Either CM SickleFlow 120mm Green LED (Bottom of Rad)
or Yate Loon 120mm Green LED (Bottom of Rad)
and either Yate Loon 120 Slim(Top of Rad)
or Cooler Master Blade Master 120mm(Top of Rad)

Tubing: Either XSPC or ProChill

CPU Block: EK-Supreme HF

GPU Block: EK GeForce 570

Res/Pump: XSPC Dual 5.25 Bay Res - w/d5 Variant Pump


[Edit] Computer specs:
i7 3770k 3.5GHz (3.9Ghz Turbo)
Asus Sabertooth Z77
Corsair Vengence 1866MHz PC3-15000 4x4GB
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB GDDR5
Corsair HX750W

Advice is very welcome. I am new to water cooling and am just going off what all the forums have said.

Thanks,
Z
