So aside from morphus' kick#$% storm trooper build, I ordered my parts today for the w/c setup I'm doing for my PC in my sig named "Hot Flash". I'm doing an all black and red theme and I was wondering if I could get some help with lighting. I have a xigmatek 200mm red led fan for the front and then I got 4 120mm cm smoked red led fans for the top and h70 I have now. Should I get red or white lighting and should I get light bars or light strips? And here's the parts I ordered. Its an all EK setup
EK Supreme HF red Plexiglas
EK FC6970 waterblocks nickel/acetal
Black Ice stealth 240 rad for the top
Phobya 200mm rad for the front
EK bay spin reservoir
Swiftech mcp655 pump
Primochill red lrt UV tubing
EK compression fittings
I'm going to try and do a push pull for the top if it fits but most likely not. I'm doing the push pull for the front and maybe what I want to do is put a third 120mm rad in the back exhaust internally if its fits as well. No idea though. Ill see that after I get it up and running and I'm going to a build log because I'm gona cut holes in the bottom of the case for a 120mm fan for under the drive cages and then paint the case a radeon red.

Computer is appreciably louder, though I think a lot of that is the 120mm fan I swapped in the rear exhaust...that thing moves a lot of air...but 5-7 deg C cooler (based on the core) for the CPU, and about 10 deg C cooler for the GPU. All in all, a solid upgrade.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but if you do decide to add the additional 120mm rad, you don't have to install anything outside. EK makes the RAD XT 120 that should fit the rear exhaust area perfectly. You will get some overlap with the 240 GTS if you go push pull with both fans mounted internally, but at least you have some options. I only see this rad on Aquatuning at the moment.

The lighting on the side panel looks awesome. And your air flow looks like its working for you too, we still need more people with the mesh side panel to give this configuration a try to see if this consistently lowers temps.

I second that, that PSU looks hot.

The Force GT comes in red.............BALLIN!


Tough nut to crack. Might also revist the idea to cut the top of the case, to get three up top. Should be a straight forward square cut. You wouldn't be mounting the third fan to the case, you would be mounting it directly onto the rad and making a square hole so it could poke through the top. The plastic bezel would be a little tricky to cut clean but remember whatever you cut will still be obscured by the mesh top. And trimming down the ribs under the mesh top should be easy to do with a dremel.
