I immediately regret opening this thread

Unfortunately the CNC milled parts didn't arrive yet because there are some problems at the post office..
In the meantime i already prepared the water cooling parts for the next step. The black finish looks cool but won't really fit the theme, so i'm going to change this.
I startet taking apart the GPU block because i have to separate the aluminium parts from the rest.
 

 

 
This is why alphacool blocks also watercool the rest of the card. It might not be the same as a fullcover block from other manufacturers, but it still has contact with the "water part" and not only uses passive cooling for VRM etc. 
 

 
Since i already assembled the RAM modules a few months ago i'm going to take these apart aswell.
 

 

 
The motherboard heatsinks are also made out of alumnium.
 

 
Time to go outside

To get the black layer off the surface i'm going to put the parts in drain cleaner and leave them for a few minutes. Even though nothing will explode be sure to wear safety gloves and googles due to its high pH. Long clothes also might be a good option.
 

 
After a few seconds you can already see something happening.
 

 

 

 
After a minute the aluminium starts to shine through, but i'll leave it a little longer.
 

 

 
Now i took the bowl and went to the drain. When it starts to foam i take it out and wash it off with water and a brush.
 

 

 
Sometimes some parts of black are still left on the piece, just put it in the drain cleaner a few minutes to make sure it's clean.
I then did the same with the backplate..
 

 

 
..and the RAM modules..
 

 

 
..and of course with the MB heatsinks. The red seems to be another kind of paint, the drain cleaner had no effect on it.
 

 
The cool thing is, the laser engraved logos are still visible after this procedure. Unfortunately some parts had these stains which only went away after sanding.
So i tried it with one of the RAM modules and it looks really great. I started sanding with 120 grit, then used some sanding fleece to create the brushed look.
Looks much better, doesn't it?
 

 
A big thanks to my friend Matthias from Aquatuning who teached me this procedure!

Arkham City is the must-have from the series if you're only getting one. I appreciated the tone and voice acting of Origins the most, but most people don't like Origins as much as I did.

Hard to tell although I don't imagine it would make a significant difference. Again you may lose a degree or two but if you have good overall airflow it should not make much difference. Slightly outdated but still relevant:

Personally I'd go with 3 as everything goes in one direction so there is less vortex which could cause air to become trapped which could possibly increase the case temp as there is less room to move. Bit wishy wasy but that's generalized.
I'd recommend experimenting with different configs and seeing what works best as there are so many variables which make it difficult to calculate!

If it says it can hold 80lbs they have hopefully tested it so you should be fine. If it does break, I'm not a lawyer, but you should be entitled to a refund. It should hold if it is bowing as long as it is not cracking.

I doubt you find one for free but it might be an idea to find an old lawn mower and rip something off. Alternatively ask round your local kart track during an event. I used to race at Red Lodge which is in Suffolk but it's full of great guys who can help. 

Thanks for the generous offer although I think I'll decline. It's probably more hassle than it is worth for the both of us.

you saved up $2600 for a power cord?

Someone's made of money. Took a second to search for some troubleshooting. Try unplugging all the cables and trying a different USB2 port header and make sure your firmware is up to date on the Corsair Link.

Awesome love to see the Prodigy builds!

so people like you wont double post

What are your tempretures like. Have you overclocked? Is it only when playing BF4? Try other resource intensive games

More phones need bigger batteries like this!

I thin your k button is broken but no I just see it as an easier way for kids to get cigarettes online.
