  1. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has tried to pay for titan x and has successfully done so? I am Canadian I'm wondering if has anything to do with region... or that their digital store is just using a real time inventory system and the titan x is just out of stock and won't complete because of that. I tried multiple cards and the paypal account option none worked.
  2. Have you tried to buy it yet? I'm trying to right now but nvidia won't take my munny!
  3. I apologize if this sounds like a silly question and I didn't dig deep enough but... How do I buy something on the site? In fact where do I find d pricing in the site? Do I need to email the cable mod guys?
  4. it's a 240 http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-rad-xtx-240.html You cannot install the thick radiator natively with a bottom radiator so I used some of the holes in the front provided to support it using only 4 Radiator screws instead of 8. That's why the 120's that I'm using as intake are not blowing through the radiator. I would have liked to use the very top holes of the front to put the rad right up against the 5.25 bay so I would have clearance for fans at the bottom but it wasn't meant to be. It's ok though I'll likely be on this same loop until skylake which by that time I'll hopefully be able do something super awesome and be featured like many of the caselabs hard tube builds.
  5. So I've done this build apparently and I don't know how I found this post. I'm not sure if this has been answered because I am posting 2 months later... I actually did buy this radiator and you cannot natively mount this thing in the front. You need to use the silly holes that will align with the rad but only 4 will so you cannot get your fans to push air through the fins through from the front with all 8 screws in. The other thing is the clearance from the bottom with a standard rad will not fit a set of fans. Without some sort of modification or compromise.

  6. Hey Everyone, Just finished my watercooling loop! There were some struggles as there were some out of spec dimensions I bad to fit for my 750d obsidian case. I hope you guys enjoy some glamorous photos taken of it by my silly nexus 5 phone camera. The estute watercooling enthusiasts of you will notice that my memory modules are silly generically looking green with memory chips on them and my motherboard is a silly gigabyte gaming 3 well... I wanted to go even more balls deep with the look of the mobo but I didn't want to get an ultra motherboard to do this with because this is not a new computer and I didn't want to upgrade from my haswell 4770 cpu with skylake as a whisper in the distance. As many of you avid linus techtips followers will know Intel will not be postponing skylake (by much) due to broadwell's delay and will come as soon as q4. I didn't think it made much sense to upgrade to a maximus formula and get dominator platinums for something I'll likely upgrade this year. You can be sure that I will be venturing into a new loop in a new exciting case with the launch of skylake. I appreciate your time for checking out my rig. Thanks. Specs Case: Corsair 750 Obsidian PSU: Corsair RM 750 Memory: Some Generic 16GB Dell DDR3 1600MHz that I got from I don't even know where Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3 Video Card: AMD Radeon 7970 CPU: Intel i7 Haswell 4770 3.4 GHz SSD: Samsung 500GB Evo 840
  7. Linus can you please at least make a snide comment about how we don't have the rgb keyboards yet in your next video? I mean surely someone of your stature will strike fear in their hearts I mean razer changed the 14s screen panel when when you said it was nearly perfect. 1 video 1 silly comment I bet it launches the day after or at least has a press conference.
  8. Thanks for the input. I definitely want uv effects because of the lan wow factor. The right brightness to catch the eye of the passers by. I'm on the fence with white but it's the front runner on tubing choice. Can anyone confirm or deny white is awesome?
  9. Hi everyone, I'm totally new to the forum, I wanted to get an opinion from the internet and I've been told this forum holds the answers to life itself. So anyway I've been planning to upgrade to water cooling out of sheer vanity. I will be working with the ROG Asus Maximus Formula VII motherboard so I was thinking it would really nice to go with the generic Red UV Tubing with distilled water and call it a day. And here is my first world problem, I like the red during the day time that's fine, but at night I want the tubing to glow really bright and from the demo's I've seem on youtube by https://www.dazmode.com/ I have to admit for whatever reason science has dictated that red should be the least bright under UV light. I have very little personal experience with water cooling and case modding my budget will be less than $1000 (strictly on water cooling components) I'll have 1 gpu and 1 cpu block and 1 maybe 2 radiators (just for looks) in the loop I will be building in a corsair 750d obsidian. I know orange and green light up quite nicely to UV light and I'm willing to make changes including changing the motherboard to just come out with a nice well thought out color theme that looks great during the day but will put a smile on my face when the lights go out and the uv led strips come on. Please, if you have an existing water cooling setup that you're proud of and want to share please I appreciate all the glamour shots. I also want real advice about this, have any of you guys gone red and regretted it because the UV didn't catch as well as you wanted it to? Is there anything I can do to enhance the way the red shows up like going nuts with LED UV Strips? If not I'm welcome to suggestions on what color schemes worked well for you... right now I've got white, green and orange on the table. Ideally I want to get the maximus vii formula because of how crazy sexy it looks... and I'm willing to compromise matching the mobo color for it's sheer awesome factor. For anyone who actually cares the setup will house a Intel i7 4770k Asus RoG Maximus VII Formula 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum MSI Forzr R9 290 Radeon Corsair AX860i I have all the stuff that isn't the mobo and the ram kit already. So? Red? not Red? Please Help!
