  1. just done a quick google search on said cooler and here is the results http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6553/thermaltake-water-3-0-ultimate-360mm-aio-cpu-cooler-review/index6.html
  2. sata express has the ability of using 10Gbps over the sata 3 which is 6Gbps. it doesnt sound like much but it will be a noticeable difference when it comes to the high end SSDs
  3. you will have to buy fittings for it but they will fit. now on the more pressing issue this radiator is made from ALUMINIUM which can cause corrosion in your loop and will attack everything else in your loop. your best bet it to get a copper radiator which will be more expensive but will save you in the long term as you wont have to worry about the radiator corroding your blocks
  4. make sure you read the watercooling 101 and the watercooling F.A.Q pages at the top of the water cooling sub forum as it will help you out with a lot of things you may not know already. also go on youtube and keep researching as much as you can and when you think you have a part list then come back and show us what you have come up with then we can help you from there as alot of water cooling is aesthetics
  5. as everyone has stated above the R9 290 is better as its cheaper and will perform almost the same at stock but once an overclock is on it it will be fantastic. it also depends on the resolution for example if your running at single 1080p then you wouldnt notice the difference but once you get to a higher resolution then it will start opening up a gap
  6. well the 5 fan config can do it but if you want quieter setup more will be better. as for the pump a D5 pump will be best or even a DDC pump
  7. To all the people who think a 6300 will bottleneck a r9 290 it all depends on which game if it supports more then one core and it's overclocked then no the max cpu usage I hit on bf4 is 70% while my 290 is at 100% sorry I don't play any mmos to test them
  8. MCP655 is the D5 which has a higher flow rate where as the MCP35x is the DDC pump has a higher pressure
  9. which program are you using to stress the cpu?
  10. I've got a watercolors 6300 and it depends on your ambient temperature where I live it gets too hot to use air cooling so water cooking is the only option on those hot days. Back on topic yeah those parts look fine. You could try and get yourself a kit to save some money and it comes with everything you need
  11. Is that pump the DCP 2.2 if it is then you will need to get a new pump as I got that pump with my so kit and it can't handle 2 blocks that well
  12. Personally I wouldn't overclock on that board and I wouldnt overclock with the stock cooler as it is lucky to keep the temps low at the stock speeds. I would upgrade the motherboard and the cpu cooler before you did any overclocks
  13. it depends on if you have an overclock on the 6300. if you have it overclocked then the answer is definitely not
  14. have you got all the fan locations filled as it seems as there isnt enough airflow in your case as the system is throttling
  15. here is the prices of the upcoming Haswell-E CPUs in australia at PC Case Gear the 5820k will be $449 the 5930k will be $679 and the 8 core 5960X is a cheap $1199 all CPUs will need an aftermarket cooler as they do not ship with stock coolers
  16. @LuckyCharm you can use frozenCPU, Performance-PCs and auqatuning as they should ship there as they ship to australia
  17. @CookiezFort i dont think anyone has realized to tell you but you have picked out the AF120 as they are airflow fans your want to pick the SP120s as they are static pressure fans and will perform alot better when against the rads
  18. @Nexo check your manual to see if you can press any other key eg. DELETE. as @Firearm2112 said take it slow as every chip is different and same with the motherboard. first thing i would do is find out what the lowest volts you need to run it at the stock 3.5Ghz. once you have done that then start bumping the multiplier until you need to add more volts to keep it stable. a list of programs i used when i done mine were: Prime95, coretemp/hw monitor, cpu-z btw also that guide will be a bit different to what you will see in your bios as its for ASUS motherboards but generally it should be transferable
  19. yes the fx-6300 can handle that overclock and it will be able to handle the workload you want to do. you will need to add some volts to the cpu but i had mine at 4.0ghz with a hyper T4 before i went watercooling and now since i have gone to watercooling im now sitting on 4.5ghz and i have no problems with anything i throw at it
  20. @FrankTheTank I would get the d5 as it will be stronger and also last longer also looks better as well
  21. you can use any fitting that has a 1/2" Internal Diameter and 3/4" Outside Diameter
  22. @RageDev dont worry about the idle temps as they will be the just above your ambient. what are your load temps?
