View Full Version : My 343B worklog
I'm going water cooling for the first time since 2001. So, figured I'd do one of these worklog things that seem to be so popular around here.
**Yes I'm in a tent...... I can't talk about it, so don't ask**

He got booted from the house! xD Btw, you definitely went on a spending spree with all that stuff. :up: Love it! Good luck in your new build.

I don't think its going to have much of an effect on cooling because the case will be well ventilated.

I'm going to run a 2 loop setup. The 1st loop will be for the CPU and the 2nd is for the GPUs. I'm going be running EK blocks with Koolance compression fittings and 1/2 tubing feed by two D5 pumps. Each will have it's own Feaser (spelling?) 120.3 radiator to take care of cooling side of things because nobody had the TCs in stock.
I'm going AC before I start hooking up the WCing system to ensure I don't have to RMA anything and that everything is playing nice with each other.

Go for it dude! That case is such a good place for hardware, there is no comparable Case in this noble and elegant class. ;)
I am very happy with my results.
