Side panel wont slide all the way to the front, theres an inch gap and it will not go any further forward. It may have been twisted during shipping, ill have a look at it later, its no big deal :toast:

You have to make sure it catches all the tabs and slots properly, and on my new Sniper, I have to help the panel past the pad lock slot.

That side panel doest fit differently to the original panel. It made it easier for me, just got to be bang lined up.

Acid, my packaging was awesome! lol.

As for the loop, i think another Rad as you'll have two 4870s... they need the cooling.

My Feser will do the job, it has three 110cfm Kaze-Jyuni fans on it now...plenty of cooling potential...aside from the fact I cant afford another loop.

I will take a picture as soon as I can...wont be yet as the other half ran off with the camera the other day and has proceeded to lose it......

Got any spare watercooling stuff acid?
No. I will even end up buying more stuff for this loop. :laugh:

:roll: Admit it, it was ghetto modding, Alex! I didn't use it anyway..didn't see a need really.

But, the starter works a treat and does it job well. :)


Still looking for ways out of the mess with the block....I really am thinking of getting rid of either the EK or Koolance block in favour of another of the same kind...it would make this a lot easier.

They actually are surprisingly good. They could be quieter, but thats what you get with air cooling right? Either way the fans are really good and Im LOVING the white LEDs and orange fan.. f'n awesome!
Im just glad to have my cables all cleaned up! Was getting to be annoying.
