Yeah Yeah, heat rises blah blah but it isn't going to affect temperatures all that much on a normal setup. Plus I have almost everything watercooled in this build so all the heat will be at the radiators anyways.

Hot air rises?

I am not happy with my PSU sleeving job, so I've decided to redo the entire thing again. Just ordered 100 feet of sleeving for it

Also I went to do a test setup today with my ol' OCZ 700W PSU and have found out that I have stripped the threads on my CPU waterblock, so I also had to order a new one. So hopefully it shouldn't be more than 2 more weeks (as if the past 6 weeks without it haven't been long enough

)

Lowfat · Aug 25, 2008, 05:02 AM

'tis a bad habit. Every week, just as parts arrive, i notice that i am missing something small but very necessary. Then I go and make another order and I end up spending an extra $100-$150. And this happens every week damn near

For like 8 weeks in a row lol.

New Accelero XTREME coolers for my 9800 GTX's

**Mousey** · Aug 29, 2008, 06:33 PM

lol that's hawt, did you sleeve the PCI-E Power cables yourself?

Vehicon · Aug 29, 2008, 06:53 PM

Ya, ive got no heat gun (yet) so i had to use ties instead of the shrink they provide.

do you live with a girl or do you own a hair dryer

? That would work, you can even use a lighter/torch. Heatshrink makes sleeving look 10x better IMO.

Vehicon, skimping out on the monitor is never a good idea....

IEMC · Aug 30, 2008, 01:22 AM

The only crime I see with Vehicon is that he isn't sharing the awesomeness.

Be generous, kind sir
