Verry little update this week: New fans on top mounted radiator and some blue ram dimms Ordering water cooling components this week (fittings and hose).

Looking good. Subbed!

Thank you very much! I'm not finished yet! =P I'm going to order 4 * 45 degree rotary fittings for a cleaner look: http://www.highflow.nl/aansluitingen/fittingen/alphacool/alphacool-hf-screw-connector-45-g1-4od-revolvable-10mm-3-8-id-1-2-od-deep-black-17072.html I will place these on the VGA and CPU blocks. Also one meter of new hose will look good: http://www.highflow.nl/slangen/3-8-slangen-10mm-id/feser-tube-uv-highflow-3-8-id-1-2-od-blue.html Its a little bit lighter blue and fresher looking then these old darker blue ones. You will, next weekend I'll take it to Roberts' place.

Thank you! How can I group them best? I dont like the look op zipties around the cables. Also watercooling fittings are expensive and because I'm a student I dont want to spend a lot of money on it. If money wasn't a problem I would have used acrylic tubing. Muha thanks man, its a lot better then it was!!

The T is for draining my loop. Maybe I'm going to take it out for a cleaner look. What do you think? VIDEO:

Thats right! I love it, although it sometimes types double letters, need to find a fix for that or maybe its just me xD

Update: 21-08-2013 Finally my LEDstrip arrived! Next to it some glue, which was more expensive then 5 meters LEDstrip :blink: LED strip didnt came unharmed but it traveled around the world by air mail My LED-dimmer Big mess on my workspace Cutting the LED strip in the right sizes Looking how to make it invisible (forgot to take a picture how it is now) Tinning the cables Then there was light! Made one more strip in the right side of the case Shiny Gigabyte logo Sleeved the fan in the back Sleeved my fan splitter cable Sleeved fan on the bottom Random pic :D Overview Love the lighting on the psu, should maybe wrap it?? (Never done this, is it hard?) My graphics card Blurry overview photo (why did I upload this) Next update I hope to start on my window. Any tips on how to do this with a 550D? Also I will upload a movie which shows what my dimmer does. :D ;)

I think red Corsair DIMMS look good in your pc, lot cheaper too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233180

Yes you are right, it actually is a EVGA GTX670 FTW Signature 2 - 2GB I'm adding it in my first post

The pictures from its current state: This is is how the case is before modding, in here I want to make a window. The original (not so good looking) aesthetics Taken out the power supply for sleeving The unsleeved wires The best and cheapest way to remove pins Forgot to put heatschrink over it before replacing the connector at the end (im still learning =P) ATX 6 Pinns sleeved, bad for a first attempt? The 24 pin done Placed the PSU back into the case and this is how it looks now: Now i am waiting for my LED-strips from China. Already got my LED-dimmer but the strips got lost in shipping <_< :ph34r: Also waiting for a new package heatshrink for the 8pin and fans.

If you search the internet you'll see that there are many people with faulty PSU's in the CX range. I guess I'll be posting on Corsair forums and look if RamGuy has a solution for me.

I tried running my system with a Antec Phantom 500W and it has (a lot) less whining with it and no whining at all when CPU+GPU is stressed. Looks like Corsair CX supplies are a pile of sh*t.

But why is my videocard performing better with more load on the PSU?

Dear LTT forum members, Since I have my new videocard I have troubles with knispering / coil whine isch sounds when I stress test my videocard. But, when I stress my GPU with my CPU together my videocard starts performing better and the coil whining noise dissapears. Is my power supply dieing on me? I only got it for a little more then a year now. It is a Corsair CX500 (non modular version) So why is this happening? I got no blue screens at all. And when I load my CPU+GPU --> better performance then only GPU My videocard is an EVGA watercooled GTX670 sig2 Print-Screens: Only GPU loaded (much coil whine) worse performance: http://s1065.photobucket.com/user/RickU009/media/onbelast.png.html GPU+CPU loaded (almost no coil whine) better performance: http://s1065.photobucket.com/user/RickU009/media/primebelast.png.html I'm not allowwed to show immages in my posts?
