Maybe there will come other names, but I think Sapphire Night is very awesome!
Can you help me decide which CPU block to use? The XSPC Raystorm or the EKWB Supremacy Evo (Nickel)

 

Thanks buddy!

Well the picture quality is terrible, im going to try and fix that, maybe because it is nighttime right now.
If anyone has tips for placing pictures and stuff, please share them!

Nice I'd love to see your build log as I ordered the Define S today and the guaranteed delivery date is Friday (although it should have been tomorrow because of one day delivery but oh well) which I'm really looking forward to. I ordered the non-window version just because it's slightly cheaper and will be slightly quieter and I won't be water cooling anything just yet but I obviously plan to with this case. Once I water cool it I'll probably get a window panel.

I'm not creative enough to write something smart or funny here.

Is the pump working and liquid isn't getting around the loop, or is your pump not turning on?

 

One method to get the liquid to move if the pump is working is to adjust the pump speed up and down if you can on your pump. Another method is to tip the case and/or shake gently.
