Great name, subbed.

[Shroomster]

I think you'll be fine with one D5 instead of 2.

[gilm0re3]

Dis gon be good. Subbed

Already had both with the dual pump top from a previous build. I like to have an extra for redundancy

[SimpleG]

how can you have lots of air flow with a case filled with rads? What fans will you be using?

K then. Subbed for epicness.

[GhostWindGamer]

jamming shit in cause it fits? subbed

Yeah didn't quite think of that lol. I'm using Silverstone air penetrator 180mm x 2

And Be quiet silent wings x5 or x10 haven't decided whether I'm doing push-pull yet

[Thorium19]

How're you using the AP181s, as case fans or radiator fans? 'cos I don't see a 180mm radiator in your parts list.

The 200mm Phobya radiator that's on its way has mounting holes for 180mm fans in push-pull and it will be used for the intake

Nice! That'll give some awesome cooling performance alright.

[KebabSpies]

noice

Yup, love dem penetrators.

My dual 180 rad keeps my fx-6300 maxing at 40-45 degrees

Did you spend more on radiators than on a CPU?

[spwath]

Nope, rad was 90$, cpu was 110$

Its gonna Weigh a bloody tonne when its finished

[Awkward Turtle]

So this build should be seriously worthy of the name, sooo I bought another 200mm radiator and Silverstone 180mm fan for another intake on the roof.

Just cause

[Awkward Turtle]

I'm thinking about painting the radiator casings a green maybe neon? Or Apple green? Would love people's opinion on the matter.

Will probably revist this once the radiators arrive,

Cheers.

[Awkward Turtle]

I have decided to change the colour of my build from green to blue. And will be getting blue ek backplates and clear gpu blocks also blue/black sleeved cables. I had to get the parts shipped from America so it's gonna take bloody ages until I can start posting pics. Sorry for the delay, but trust me it's definatly gonna be worth it.

[stealth80]

nooo I love green/black builds

[Awkward Turtle]

So im just cleaning out my cpu/ram blocks and thought I'd post a pic of how I clean the thermal compound

Good old wd40 and johnny walker blue label

And no one can say it won't work cause Ive done it 6 times before lol.

The whisky makes my pc smell lovely

I'm curious as to why you didn't go with the Thermaltake Core X9, WAY more radiators

I wanted to try and keep it as small as possible without compromising on cooling or performance as I'm going to uni soon and from what I've seen the x9 is enormous. and for the price you can't beat it

Perhaps the Core X2? It's a bit smaller, mATX, but still has ridiculous cooling options.
