  1. Used an old tube of Dynex thermal compound that had been open for the past year...

     

    Came out all crusty but I thought it was normal so I used it, and a lot of it (I had watched one vid)- I asked my dad about it, who laughed.

     

     

     

     

    It took me half a fucking hour to completely clean off the compacted, hardened compound from the cpu

  2. "Offended" can be very subjective. If you identify with the people being killed by ISIS, then yeah you'll probably find it terrible what they're doing. Not to say that I don't, but if ISIS is seeking out those who are close to you, or in your community/religion, then you would definitely feel it on a more personal level.

     

    Even though I have family in Jordan and Syria, I don't find the videos offensive, although I can bet it does offend my family near the affected areas. By playing a game, and having fun being a terrorist (doing beheadings and stuff), yes you will attract some unwanted attention, and I honestly think you deserve getting banned. I don't define having fun as role playing a terrorist and killing innocent people, but to each their own. This issue actually something I'd like to discuss with them next time I get the chance- thanks.

     

    I voted no.

  4. Am I seeing clearly, or does your loop split off into 2 different directions underneath the CPU cooler? Because that's not possible.

     

    I think he's saying that the used water goes into the 140mm rad and the cold goes back into the reservoir (take another look at the diagram). That being said, I think a 280mm rad will do for a dual card setup, but if you want colder temps then another 140mm will also work, but I personally wouldn't do so. 

  5. actually, dont use flexable tubing, use petg, in the long scheme of things, its cheaper and looks nicer

    I've seen that video, yes. But flexible tubing is far easier to use and is a good introductory material. 

    Flexible tubing still looks nice, but I agree PETG does look sexy. I still suggest flexible for a first time build just for ease of use. 

     

    EDIT: I still think soft tubing looks the best (thats my opinion)

  6. The OS is going to stay Windows XP Since there are programs on it that wont work on Windows 7+

    with the AMD APU's you WILL be required to have at least Windows Vista.

     

    Will the needed programs be able to function on Vista?

  7. Welcome to the forums!

     

    Those are normal temps and with dual 980TIs, and I think you have a ton of performance. If your willing to risk your system (especially your 980TIs) with a first-time custom loop, I would say hell yeah, but I'd say your system is managing more than alright. But again, if your really want to pump (pun kinda intended) as much performance out of your baby as possible, do it. Just please PLEASE use regular flexible tubing instead of acrylic. 

     

    I've never done it myself bc even if I had the funds, I'm too scared to risk my system like that. That being said, I'm still quite knowledgable on the subject and PM/reply if you have further questions. Cheers.
