My extra Goodies arrived today (still waiting on the demel though )

3xYates
2x Slim Yates
2x Nexus Memory heatsinks (got fed up with the dominator-it looked gay)
2x Vantec Stealth 92mm
2x 4-to-3 pin fan adapters (turns out i didnt need these )
Blowhole trim

Thats beautiful. I love tj07's and tj09's and the loop looks perfect to me, perfect rad placement as well.

really? thanks! cos im not happy with it! rofl. its not high enough, but i'll sort that with some dead fans

[retrogamer1990]

okay a couple of small updates (nothing major...yet)
I forgot about this one actually, I upgraded to a Q9550 a few days ago, from my e8400,
heres the quad:



side by side (quad on left)



and also, I fitted the nexus memory coolers which I think look great, although i have lost some of the pimp factor that the dominator cooler had, and unfortunately, both dont fit.
what do you think? opinions please!




okay I wont be doing much for a while becuase of a few things, but i will still answer any questions or comments made this is becuase

a) Still waiting on a few bits (WTF is that dremel?!!)
b)Replacing the fans (seemingly an easy task, but no...) which i would have done already to stop my ears bleeding becuase of the thermaltake crap i put in, requires i drain the whole system...
c)...and there is no point in that to have to put it back together, to then take it apart AGAIN to send it to the powdercoaters, and add the new loop (yay)

I would in case of putting passive things on your ram watercool it with a MIPS ramfreezer, these are so shiny ^^

How are the Nexus Memory heatsinks? Are they easy to install? & do they feel good quality or not?

Thanks,
Max

You're making good progress. I admire you folks who strip your cases and then manage to get it back together again looking great. Looks like you've got lots of attention to detail here ... nice project!
