Hey guys!


 


update/upgrade from last build log.


what did i do?:


i did switch from the phantom 240 case to the S340, and bought a kraken X61 cpu cooler.


What did i paint: SSD Cover, 280mm Radiator, mounting screws for the cooler bracket and the EVGA Backplate.


 


For the poeple who are gonna ask why i didn't go for the Krait edition, i already had this motherboard and didn't really wanted to spend another 100buks for a different collor.


 


i used white gloss plasti dip, i did 6 coats with 10min between every coat.


 


i didn't want to post 22 pictures, so here's a link to the album for it: http://imgur.com/a/DAG44

how is the kraken x61 pump noise ?

my pump is actually dead silence, but since i have the radiator tubes on the top now, i can hear now and then a air bubble wich is quite anoying.

before i had the radiator in the top of my phantom 240 and there was no sound what so ever.

 

i might have to shake the case a bit to fix the airbubble, but it should go away overtime.

 

overall it's quiet and it cools really well.

I would get a locked CPU, and an H97 and see if you can get a better GPU.

i can buy a 980ti or titan if i want to right now, but i don't see the extra money making it worth for me right now.

i run every game i have on good settings and it performance really good.

 

thank you for the recommendation anyways!
