On a happier note I have decided to upgrade the CPU a little bit to the 3770k instead of the 3570k! I thought since I have already gone over budget might as well treat myself especially since microcenter is offering them at such a good price! I really wish one could buy processors without the heatsink and fan and maybe save a couple dollars while at it.Comment

I wish we had a Microcenter up here.

Here is Corsair's finished build. Personally I think it looks like crap but A) I have been spoiled by the likes of dazmode and case mods contest B) I guess he was going for functionality over looks (plus to be done with it i expect). Also I feel as if the video doesn't show everything in the build as if they have something to hide. I think Corsair proved with this build log that this product is not with out compromises. And in my humble opinion some engineers should have been good enough to try building a custom loop in it before mass production. Regardless I guess it can be done but man am i having trouble. Pics to come soon. My form factor of mobo with the raised VRM makes it extremely difficult!
At some point depending on the mileage it might be worth the trip. What is your nearest one?Originally posted by 10e View PostLast edited by alex5389; 03-04-2014, 04:34 PM.Comment

My loop will be in the following configuration
XSPC 5.25" Bay Reservoir
Phobya DC12-260 12V Pump
Bitspower ASUS P8Z77-I DELUXE Water Block
EK GeForce 660 GTX VGA Liquid Cooling Block
PrimoChill Vortex Clear Visual Flow Indicator
Bitspower Z-Multi 40 Tube Reservoir
XSPC EX140 Single 140mm Low Profile Split Fin Radiator
XSPC EX240 Multiport Dual 120mm Low Profile Split Fin Radiator (will have Bitspower G1/4" Mini Valve for drainage)
Back to XSPC 5.25" Bay ReservoirComment

I'm pretty sure there are Microcenters in New York State, but I might be in Chicago for a family wedding this summer, so if I need anything I know there is at least one in that area if need be.Originally posted by alex5389 View Post
I think that build looks too crowded. It looks even more crowded than my Lil' bit build in the Cooler Master Elite 110 case. I think your build will look better based on your choice of components.
I have a few updates (mostly good, one bad) with my two builds forthcoming. This has been a hectic week in terms of work and home life so hopefully I'll get a few hours over the next week to finish the Prodigy build too.
Good luck!DS340-E: Core I7 3770K Undervolted at 4.3Ghz, Asrock Z77 Extreme-3, 16GB of Adata XPG V2 gold RAM at 2200mhz, XFX R9 290 with EK water block and (I love) gold backplate, EK tubing, Bitspower and Darkside fittigs, Darkside RGB lighting with handy remote control, WD Black Dual (120GB SSD+1TB mechanical) hard disk, Swiftech PWM fan controller, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bitComment

Ah the reason is two fold
1)I like the aesthetic very much i have the room and will be modding the case door to show it (i think its gonna look great)
2)another res increases coolant volume and I imagine but am not sure that this might drive temp down ever so slightly(not sure if this is true) but at least temperature variation would be more stable?
So in short I am doing it for the looks. But i would be interested in hearing any experiences with more vs less coolant and how it affect temp.Comment

It really seems to me that he just did it just to prove that it could be done in at least one configuration and be done.Originally posted by Hanoverfist View Post
Will someone here please agree with me that the phrase "without compromise" does not fit for this one?Comment
