Nope, there is two. I must have done a very good job hiding everything. :p
There is a 2x140mm Koolance radiator on the top and a HW Labs SR1 120mmx55mm (thick) radiator below the optical bays.

Feel free to vote on the case in the case gallery guys!!

It's pretty awesome. VERY EASY to bleed.

That has got 2b 1 of the best case mods I've seen on the net great stuff, now ur in buisness! lol

I used a new NorthQ Sibirian Tiger water cooler with 120mm x2 fans on rad on mine
it is good and the lighted fan eluminates the inside of case. Its not as good as urs because i need 2 sort out cables and hide em....

Also I only got hd 4730 and e6550 cpu but it's a gamer case and it looks pritty sweat.

Got my cpu upto 3.7GHz with the watercooler and Graphics has limited bios for OC.

i3 have come out and under £100 if u look around I wonder if u could get a higher clock

johnnyfive, how low does your video card go when idle? Mine goes so low, I found out that the card has a cold bug somewhere below 30C!

It gets to about 33-34c. Have not gotten below that since it stays around 72F in my house. If my wife wasn't so cold all the time, I'm sure my windows would be open and I would be experiencing a cold bug. What happens, doesn't like to display?

I am in the basement, and have the quad-rad in my siggy with four Sane Ace fans on it. Ambient temps are in the low 60'sF.

I can boot and get into Windows fine, but the graphics will lock up (black screen). The rest of the system appears to be fine, as I can see the HDD LEDs flicker and the debug LED on my motherboard still shows changing CPU temps. Right now I am having an issue getting CCC to open (related to my troubleshooting - I thought issues might have been driver related), but once I get that going I might have a work around in place. Right now I have to run my loop with the fans off and pump on low, long enough for the loop to warm up. Otherwise I can just always load up the graphics card itself with furmark.

It's insane that this block works too well for me :laugh:

Actually, I also have a EK-FC block for my Classified as well. It was really cold in the basement last night - getting down into the upper 50'sF/teen's C! I was running Furmark (bench, windowed, 1280x1024) on the card last night at stock speeds and the vregs were only in the upper 50's to 60C! :rockout:

Thanks! The sleeving is cheap stuff from SideWinderComputers. I'm not willing to pay and wait for the sleeving from MDPC.

Hah, don't get me wrong, I :love: MDPC sleeving. But I'm too impatient to wait two plus weeks for sleeving and also I'm a budget builder so spending more than needed is not something I'm willing to do either. Theres no doubt MDPC sleeving is the best. :rockout:
