I set my background to the old Windows pipe screensaver when I first finished it. :laugh:

Getting ready to swap to my rad fans to some Asus Maglevs, so thought I would take a couple pics before I tear it all down for a drain and good cleaning. The QL fans are gorgeous, but provide horrible performance on a radiator.

My son also printed me some diffusers for my RBG strips, so I'm stoked to see how those look when I get done with it.

Hope to have it done before my wife gets back from a trip tomorrow, but we'll see what my kids have to say about that. Wish me luck!

I'll be interested to see how them new fans are. I have the same case and 2x360mm EK rads, so could be persuaded to change my fans too. I have 3x Corsair LL120mm and 3x Lian Li SL120mm fans.

I'll definitely let you know. I've spent the last week recording GPU, CPU and Fluid Temps against ambient, so I'll have good data to compare.

I'm putting it back in the same configuration (bottom pull and side intake, top push and rear exhaust) and I'm only swapping the fans on the rads, so should give a decent apples to apples comparison between the fans.

Thx
I'm using bottom pull, top push, side 1x120mm in, no rear. seems to be working ok, but i feel my temps should be better with the rads i have. 1x360/45 and 1x 360/60 so maybe i just need better fans.

Bought an OLED monitor (LG 42C24LA), had to get a nice desk to do it justice.

I'd say it's the most impressive upgrade i've done in a long time, battlefield 1 looks amazing.

Ok. Guess I'll update what my PC looks like now.. after its teardown and rebuild. I've only ever posted a photo from the top in this thread I believe? Here's the full setup, including my pump/res setup which works GREAT in this case.

Took these pics as I was doing a quick clean up of the radiators, fans and inside of the case and such. So, yes.. its dusty but its clean now. A year of dust and owning a Husky will do this. -_-

Some note- EKWB fittings, do not like XSPC ball valves. The gasket doesn't seal on the EKWB fittings. Just the way it was machined. Had to order an XSPC fitting for it.
These EKWB Torque fittings.. are amazing. Worth every penny.

As for the filter in the pump pic- Had some chrome flake off in my loop and destroy a D5. So, put one of those in.

Now save up and get yourself a nice ergotron for that thing.

Ps.
Bonus points for X2HR.
 
I've got a monitor arm, i need an adapter to fit it on this as it has the bigger mounting holes.

Around 2:10 this guy mentions how he mounted his, washers will be required as that's what I saw from other users on hardforum.
 
Took mine outside today for some fresh air and sunlight. And it had a date with my Datavac.. let’s just say that things went well between them :D

How many 14 year olds can spend a couple of grand on their PC. Unless mammy and daddy buy it for them, so they can show off on a tech forum.
 
good reply Tigger, i will keep that as a back up bud.
 
Went out and bought the new case yesterday evening, finally got it all together. Cable management was.. thought provoking lol. It wasn’t terrible but it took some thought.

At least it’s all working lol.. I will make a new color profile.. it’s all rainbowy and quiet :D
 
alright, my rig is finally "somewhat" up to date :laugh:

5yrs with the i5- 6600k 6yrs with the GTX 1070, only 2x1tb HDD to swap for something else later (one single 2tb i guess and the second for a 1tb SSD, maybe? ) one 1tb 2.5" SSHD to be replaced by a SSD later

stage 1 : CPU MOBO cooler (end 2021)
1626779687104.jpg

stage 2: GPU (2 weeks ago) swapping the Enermax fan for a Cooler Master Halo 120 white (aRGB ofc ... unicorn puke FTW! wait... no ... pure white FTW! )
1657955690018.jpg

stage 3: (yesterday) replacing all my Corsair ML and AF with one more Halo 120 (black this time) back exhaust, 2 Arctic P14 140 (white/Transparent, no led but they do nicely )top and 3 Fractal Aspect 14, no more clicking noise from the AF, damn silent and positive pressure for now, temperatures are fine (more or less same as before but lower RPM on the fans, 600-1000rpm range for all except CPU) might reverse the P14 and the Halo 120 later for test
IMG_20220729_080313.jpgIMG_20220729_080357.jpg

also Lian Li Strimer 2x8pin extension white (without the RGB element, don't need it :p )
IMG_20220729_080446.jpgIMG_20220729_080509.jpg

what? Ryzen 7X00 Radeon RX 7X00, Intel 13X00 and Nvidia RTX 40X0 comming soon?
oh well, maybe in 6yrs again? :laugh: (OR IS IT!? will probably replace the 3600 with a 5700X or even a 5800X3D, noticed price drop on the 5800X/X3D recently ... they are almost sub 350chf o_O in some shop )

Replaced my Lian li 011 Dynamic with a failing front I/O with a 011 Dynamic Evo. Fans are quieter the case is laid out better and gives you more room where you need it and all the 1 thumbscrew fan brackets are very nice if you need to remove a water loop quickly. It doesn't look nearly that bright irl.
