    Very nice post mate. Very intuitive, covers all bases without making it sound daunting with too many technical terms.

    The same could be said about the US lol. The only difference is that US has a Democracy and they are Communist. The only reason the US doesn't invade countries is because one Americans dont want anything to do with that and 2 any country that US ACTUALLY wants to invade is backed by either Russia or China so it would start a war.

    I'd agree with that, as for me having those hoses positioned within the case makes it (from my perspective) clumsy.

    The res and pump you should be able to just use distilled water numerous times, shaking and draining and then repeating. I would only use the vinegar on the radiators.
     
    If you have a little spare cash, buy a cheapo pond pump and inline water filter with a few litres of distilled water from Halfords as your from the UK. Saved me from constantly shaing the raditor numerous times. Bit extreme but I like it

    Yep the first two times I did it with the new rads it was pretty disgusting and disturbing. To know that that could be running inside your loop, hence I run each componant through this system to make sure I minimise those nasty bits floating around.

    size is only relative to the hardware used.
    functional: yes
    overkill: yes
    aesthetics: it'd be a no for me

    gatecrasherlok got a reaction from Ghost in 2 x Mo-Ra 3 - does it make any sense   
    As ghost has pointed out, a D5 is more than sufficient for cooling multiples of rads including Mo.Ra's. The only reason to have multiple pumps is for redundancy, which is all I have mine for. As for flow rate, my aquaero flow rate read out did not indicate much difference in terms of flow yield. As for head pressure some claim it to be better, personally I have not seen much difference and or have any way of telling.

    gatecrasherlok got a reaction from SirReallySam in Am I the only one annoyed by the prompter ?   
    Your definatly entitled to your opinion at the end of the day. I can understand it from your point of view and I understand it also from Linus and Luke's point of view. On one end of the scale being spontaneous about the topics that are on the program certainly would seem more intimate for the viewers or as you put it more buddy like. However on the other hand sourcing topics as a professional like they are day in day out it can be hard, hence the Prompter. It'll allow them to make sure all points they have sourced throughout the week prior to the show is not left out as I'm sure it can be an arduous task.

    gatecrasherlok got a reaction from warmmilk in OC3D throws dual award at BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3   
    I really like the look of the bequiet cooler. The aesthetics are very nice and performance to boot. I can see why there are two camps where people prefer Noctua as they are arguably the benchmark to beat in terms of heatsink cooling performance, whereas some prefer phanteks beqiet products for cooling along with build theme matching. However most high end coolers these days are reaching a plateau in terms of performance where I would draw a line and say does that 2-3 degrees make that much difference? Personally all top end heatsinks perform similarly so why can't the aesthetic factor be the deciding point/price variance.

    gatecrasherlok got a reaction from Sharif in my schools pc (massive overkill)   
    It probably is overkill for some students but maybe some of them are studying some sort or CAD courses nad so forth. Plus from my knowledge, in the UK there was some sort of scheme for schools where educational based facilities get a decent amount of discount on certain computer parts when bought in certain quantities. if so then why not.

    gatecrasherlok reacted to mr moose in The real difference between "Free-Sync" vs G-Sync   
    All I meant is the Nvidia (as a company like all others) need to make money out of each of their investments, that includes Gsync. If they release Gsync and make it an open system they risk loosing profit and/or returns on investment, which has the ultimate effect of retarding product development and innovation.

    Wow, thats just an ignorant thing to say. Raw power, as of now the GTX 780Ti is THE fastest graphics card out on the market right now. AMD has not, at this time, responded to it. That can't be disputed, its just the truth. AMD and Nvidia both have graphics cards tailored to the professional market. Yes, oh boy, Nvidia does sell to the Professional market, as does AMD. Even to Artists. As for your personal assumptions on sound financial decisions and businessmen? Its not even worth my breath to respond, you just are blinded by your fanboyism it seems. Sad, just sad. You have some growing up to do.
