Yep will plug into CPU_FAN header anyway, Christ what is wrong with me lately. Tired from work!

The L12 will fit, but the optional 120mm won't fit on the top. Not with the fan though. It's too high. So only the smarter under fan. I will only buy the L12 if this 2nd hand one is at the right price, otherwise it's a new L9i

New build coming... http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/351456-build-log-project-scirocco-green-black-g-sync-aio-build/

That sounds reasonable, despite you are tired B)

You may should sleep more and watch less of Linus videos....

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

lol. I have been watching a lot more of him lately, just getting my understandings back up. Except for a few laptop fixes at work, I've only built my friends build after mine in 2010.

 

So the case has arrived, will pick it up this week as I don't know what time things will be delivered, I deliver things to my parents place.

 

I will probably pick up tomorrow as I want to get a good look at it.

 

As I said, I'm unsure how the L12 would performer with just the under-fan. The L9i is specifically designed for such a task.. so we will see. It all depends on how much this 2nd hand one sells...

 

Need to find me one of these now: http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti-2GD5TLP.html - for under £130... here we go again on the hunt for a rareish part!

Right CPU is here, mobo is dispatched (with latest BIOS apparently... we'll see!) from Hong Kong and a 750TI ordered from the United States... Truly a global effort to get the prices right!
