@Shazza....Have you used PrimoFlex UV Colored Tubing as well as the Feser? If so what are your thoughts on both and which do you prefer?

Yes ... just make sure you get the "White" cathodes, not the UV ones.Quote:

Thanks Shazza;) Always good to see you and Darth form the old NoteBook Forum days:toast:
OK ... still not an entirely successful photo shoot, but some progress made. I'm actually quite happy with how it's come out ... actually looks better in RL than in the pics. Even my husband likes it!!! Here's MOAR PICS, for those who are not going blind from all the bright colors:

I love Bright cheerful colors;) Do you fancy the UV Tubing over the clear with UV Fluid Shazza?
Like so many, I'm really enjoying your worklog Shazza. It's not just the incredible attention to detail in your work, or the stunning photos (even the arty farty ones) but also the way you represent yourself. Your enthusiasm and desire to do your absolute best is infectious. This is a process and what's always mattered most to me as a builder is knowing I did my best and never compromised. Sure things don't always go the way we'd like but its how we play the cards that's more significant than what cards we're dealt. You should really be proud of what you've accomplished Shazza. IMHO, your efforts here represent what's best about what we do and most importantly, inspire me.
Cheers. :)
Hey Shaz, how hard is it to program that little LCD screen? It is so awesome! I'd love to have one which also tells me my core temps and vcore etc. :) Handy as.
Shazza, I am going to put my white cathode or LED lighting behind the motherboard in between the tray. I changed the blue LED's to white on my Koolance blocks and my cards are nicely lit up and look awesome!! I may also put a white cathode behind my bottom Rad. I had to delay some parts of my project since I had to pay $730 to replace the clutch in my car.....:(
Beautiful Pics Shazza .... :clap:
Do you do any post processing work with those pics or those straight from your camera?
I didn't know I was going to use the colored coolant when I set up the tubing ... just added it because of the EK blocks and the reservoirs. I'd like to see it with plain tygon ... maybe next modification :)Quote:

( but, I do have some of those blue gloves) :rofl::rofl::rofl: Again, thanks for the kind words.Quote:

For the tubing pics, I have to do a little adjustment to get the colors to show what they look like in real life. The Green is the most difficult - it's actually a little "greener" and less lime-like in real life, but it's a pretty good representation.Quote:

Hi, Shazza, it looks amazing. I hope you are enjoying using it now and not reading what I'm writing! :rofl:Quote:

Shazza,
this is amazing. Good work. :)
Nice job! Splendid, but what are your fans ? :eek:
shazza thx for the cathode and coolant help :)
but does feser 1 coolant have the anti corrosive stuff ?
and you just used feser 1 coolant thats it , no extra additive and such?(let the tubing take care of the rest basically)
Shazza!!!!!! you just dont stop to amaze me with the symmetry of your tubing config and everuthing else.... very well planned..... i tip my hat !!!!
congrats !!!
Have to check in here upon return from the office - gotta see what everyone is up to with their builds :up:Quote:

I'm watching it closely though - thanks. I have BP 45s, but I really wanted to have the green standup to give a little more visual interest to the loop. Let's see after a few weeks.
Thank you, I appreciate the comments.Quote:

The chipset radiator (which is the XSPC RX240) has Yate Loon Lows - pulling hot air out of the case. 2 fans on top, and CPU fan are Scythe S-Flex F's for exhaust. I'll adjust fans if need be if I notice any balance issues.Quote:

Looks great. Did you use the Feser dye or premix?
hey shazza, you know you want a heatkiller, or aqua computer cuplex now :rofl: but seriously, i may just have to report his build to mdpc, probably the cleanest mountain mods build i've seen. also shazza, grab that bobble head, looks like it gives +10 to whatever skill you want :O
It's not just the res that matters - also the rad. Assuming you're going with a 360 rad, it should take a bit more than half a bottle of the premixed.Quote:

Damn nice looking stuff!! I love the Bobblehead, I am still playing Fallout 3 looking for EVERYTHING!!! I think I have over 120+ hours on that game....It's like crack! I ordered my remaining stuff, more sleeving, lighting, Ram cooler, and 9 S-flex F fans today, Shazza, except either Koolance 350 or Heatkiller 3.0 block. It's between these 2 blocks now. Waiting to see Hondacity's results first!!;) Hopefully the Seeker will be able to get that Aquaero ordered for me with his order from Aqua-computer......
every time i see someone use a Koolance 350 block it makes me wanna rip out my 340 and trade on up! Awesome pictures Shazza!
Where find these fans you one?Quote:
