Updated*

I put up larger pictures of the cases on the OP. So now you can actually see them because before they were super tiny.

Nice!!!! More red added to your black Phantom looks good. Have your temps decreased much?

TotalChaos · Feb 21, 2011

Idle with fans on low RPM, high RPM drops things 4-6c except the HD which never gets hot in the first place. CPU is oc'd from 3.2 to 4.0 GHz

t77snapshot · Feb 21, 2011

Damn! Those are sweet temps tc.

TotalChaos · Feb 21, 2011

this room ambient is about 20-23c which helps

TotalChaos · Feb 25, 2011

I am thinking about adding a bit of red paint to my Phantom and have a photoshop mock up. what do you think of the color for the mesh areas

or darker red like this

or this

I think the darkest red would look nice! The led fans would drown out on the lighter red mesh right? Have you thought about painting more then just the mesh? check out k.3nny"s log of his paint job. He painted some trimming of the case to blend in with the mesh and it looks really nice! If you did something like that with your black and red scheme that would looks sick. :rockout:

TotalChaos · Feb 26, 2011

who knows, might to look at paint colors this weekend

I have a M59 And i really liked! Good spec's!

When ever i get the upgrade itch i move my computer parts to the M59 for a few months then move back to the tempest this helps me not spend to much money. and it fills like a new build each time

I like the second picture looks sweet!

t77snapshot · Mar 6, 2011

Ok, pics are up! I didn't have a chance to do any benchmarks or overclocks today. We still need to get a decent cpu cooler because this stock one is crap, but other then that everything is running smooth. Enjoy! :cool:

So, here's my new challenge. I have this NZXT Vulcan here:

And some newly acquired liquid cooling equipemnt here:

My goal is to water cool the CPU, IOH, and GPU with the following.

XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 Kit
Koolance CHC-122 (MB) Liquid Cooling Chipset Block
EK Radeon HD 6970 VGA Block
An extra 4' of PrimoChill PrimoFlex Tubing

Never done water cooling before. My ECO is good, but I need cool my 6950. It gets real hot and noisy when gaming. So it's time to get wet for real.

Anxiety tells me to do it all at once, but common sense tells me to do the CPU first and move on. I have no experience in draining and refilling a system like this, so it's a little unnerving.

My current plan has the radiator mounted on the back and the resevoir/pump in the lower front of the case.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

spectrus77 · Mar 16, 2011

Hello everybody, at the request of t77snapshot, photos on my tempest evo. I hope you enjoy.

This is going to be interesting because the Vulcan is a tiny case. I see you got the XSPC Rasa kit, very nice! My only beef with your choice is that Feser coolant crap. I would recommend Distilled water with PT nuke Biocide. UV coolant does look really cool with uv cathodes but produces a lot of oxidation and other chemical build up within the loops. I can't wait to see some progress.

HUSKIE · Mar 17, 2011

Hiya nzxt clubers, planning to replace two fans on of my tempest evo. I Want to put fans with brigther led. I Dunno which fan should i get. Blue led

Thanks. Still building up my nerve. Probably get started this weekend. And space will be a challenge.

I knew I would get some flak for the fesser fluid, but I want it to be blue.

I did get a free kill coil. Got to learn the hard way I guess. :eek:
