  1. And the 2600K's at Micro Center are right now at $279
  2. I have had a series of bad luck with OCZ Power Supplies, I would recommend CORSAIR or SEASONIC. Also I have used the 7970 and GTX 680, I find the drivers are better for the NVIDIA and runs cooler and quieter. But AMD just dropped prices so $ per performance the AMD 7970 is a good deal right now I have no experience with prepackaged XSPC kits. I always bought my own parts (XSPC, Hardware Labs, EK, Koolance all good). I hear most people replace the fans in that kit but it looks like it has just what you need. Vertex 3 SSD drives are proven. Other than that looks good to me.
  3. Check out Case Labs cases. I am sure they have something that would work for you.
  4. Here is a great analysis on the results for Push vs Pull vs Push Pull configurations from Martinsliquidlabs... http://martinsliquid...ing-Review.html. FYI - I use both an SR1360 and SR1 480 both in Pull and they work perfectly. .
  5. I build and fix systems, new and used. I agree for those specs if you listed it at $1,000 it should definitively sell quickly. Probably could get $1,200-$1250. .
  6. I had the exact same cooler in a NZXT Phantom and I selected Aska Apache Black Super Silent PMW fans. It has 2.64 static pressure and Airflow is 57.53 CFM. They worked wonderfully and very quiet. I know you can get them from Frozen CPU, probably many other places as well.
  7. Thanks. yes, I will stop tinkering and start to play now and enjoy. Though building it was a real blast. Thanks all of your guys help.
  8. I thought about that especially since the RP452x2 is set up to support that , but based upon the research and input I received that temps were not going to be that significant if any, the pump redundancy factor, but most of all the aesthetics of the loop I planned in this case was the deciding factor. If I can figure out how to upload a picture here I will post one for you to see how the loop looks. I don't know how to post in this posting so I uploaded two pics in the Gallery Ronsanut_Kick_Ass_Dream_System1.jpg and Ronsanut_Kick_Ass_Dream_System_no_lights1.jpg. I hope that was the best way to do this. Sorry new to posting pictures/images here. First time actually posting a picture.
  9. Maybe a troll, but I think he was serious and like you said was just focused on big flow rate numbers.
  10. Sorry , actually it wasn't a forum, it was a post to one of my Build Logs on You Tube from a viewer.
  11. Thanks, I was hoping that is the case. The flow rate at level 7 on the TMS is about 1.25 GPM and when I tweak it all the way up to level 10 (full 12V) I get almost 1.5 GPM. Since my temps looked good to me I wasn't going to sweat it too much, but given all the research I did and the money I sank into this dream system it would have been eating at me if I was doing something wrong or had bad flow do to something I did or selected to cause some major restrictions. Thanks.
  12. I have the following in one loop and am looking for the optimal flow rate that I should be seeing. I have viewed may forums and the consensus seems to be that a good flow rate should be 1200LPM or 5.2 GPM. I am seeing 1.25 to 1.5 GPM with one loop and the following in the loop. RP452X2 rev 1.3 with 2 PMP 450 in series with the TMS-205 and the PUMPs (dial set to 5 on pump) and Level 7 (8.75V) on the TMS 205 Sofwtare Control Software SR1360 Rad SR1480 Rad EK Dominator X4 Ram Block (x 2) EK HF Supreme CPU Block EK FC680 GTX GPU blocks (x2) The flow is RP452x2 > SR1360 >SR1480 > Ram Block1 > CPU >Ram Block 2 > GPU 1 & 2 (EK FC Parallel Bridge) > IMS-FM18 Flow Meter > RP452X2 I also am using Koolance VL3N QDC's ate the RP452x2, SR1 360 and SR1 480 and CPU block. The Motherboard is an MSI Big Bang XPowerII and am running a i7-3630K (not yet overclocked) . Ambient is about 23C and CPU temps are about 25-27C at idle and not over 50 under load (Prime 95). The GPU temps (2 GTX 680,s) under load Unigine Benchhmark at 42-45C. Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks.
  13. Definitely needlessly overpriced expensive components, but IMHO that is one of the aspects of being an Enthusiast.
  14. I might but only if you could see them. No point for me if they can not be displayed in my case.
  15. I agree. I am doing it strictly for the looks. If I could water cool my chipset (MSI Big Bang XPower II) I probably would not cool the RAM. Just not enough water cooling bling for me with just the CPU and video cards cooled. problem is EK or Koolance have no plans for a Big Bang XPower II chipset block(s).
