Chiobe Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Scan.co.uk still havent gotten the case into stock, so guess it will be a bit longer then planned before I get the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just to do something, so did I setup my EK-Supremacy EVO, with the right parts. At the same time, so did I test my cam setup, so I can upload pictures while I work with the pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareFactorOver9000 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 thats a big list of cooling parts, must have cost you a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tte Martin Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Scan.co.uk still havent gotten the case into stock, so guess it will be a bit longer then planned before I get the case. It can only be a matter of days, we've received stock in Germany already and Alternate listed it too. ThermalMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It can only be a matter of days, we've received stock in Germany already and Alternate listed it too. I dont know who Scan deals with, but its still not in stock. And Alternate only ships to the country they are in, so I cant use them ether.

Chiobe Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Good temps for folding! is that on air or water? They are a little to high for my taste. Temprature limit on the GPU's are 79C, while on the CPU its 95C, so there is not much room to go on. Also, that is with stock cooling on GPU and 280mm rad cooling the CPU.

Chiobe Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Looks like it will be a while before I get my hands on an X9, as I'm right now waiting on Scan.co.uk (or there bank) to transfer my money back, then it might be as much as 2 weeks delivery time from Alternate Tt Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiobe Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 With the case around the corner, so did I take a closer look at my new parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Good thing I decided to clean the rads before using them.This is one of the 60mm once, after first flush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 The old CPU, guess bad termalpaste has to take some of the blame for bad performence. First GPU has gotten its block and backplate on, as well as terminal has been put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 There dont appare to be anything wrong with the cooler or the fans, so guess it was bad termalpaste and bad airflow, that caused my problems. Unless the cooler is broken or not good enough. I will have it tested later to be sure of the cause. The old case, after I removed most of the components. I left the motherboard, as that was the easiest place to store it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Finally is the new case ready to be buildt in. ThermalMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bottom radiator. I added an extra 140mm fan from my old case, to offset the power of the top fans some more. Top radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 As far as I have come today. Problems love this build. This time so it the front bay that need some modding. Flipping the rads around is not a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Front bay is now the correct lenght and wont block the tubes any more. The GPUs are finally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 And the CPU is done, meaning I'm lacking just 1 rad, the reservoir-pump combo and tubing. And yes, EK recommendes the line method this time around. ThermalMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
