almost done

Got some 22awg wires which I plan to make custom 3 pin cables. It turns out 22awg wire is kinda bigger so I might need to play around with it later if its suitable or not. Hopefully shouldn't be a problem because I saw lutro selling 22awg so I guess it could work.

Got the remaining fans for my build

Because I only got gasket for 120mm sizes, I had to make my own gasket for the 140mm fan :P

As usual, need to sleeving the fan cables...

Build is almost done, but I will need to get the custom ROG fan stickers to cover up the corsair stickers :lol:

I got 11 corsair fans in here at the moment, that means I spent ~RM800 just for fans bwahahaha. Only if my mum knew about it...

Will get some ROG stickers :)

Oh & I am still waiting for Lamptron CW611, most likely by end of september it will arrive. No news on the GPU RMA yet, hopefully I can get it soon. Asus faster speed up the process...battlefield 4 is coming out soon :(

I had some minor problem with fitting the fan due to the cpu EPS cable. The cable was just slightly too thick. I could force the fan in there but there will be a slight flex to the motherboard & the connector so I didnt want to risk it. Decided to mod the corsair fan instead. Removed the rubbery material & cut of the lower plastic section

Everything fits nicely now and I replaced the old tubing (not really old, just few weeks old). Now I am left with hooking up the leds to a 3pin connector & everything should be set. Just need to wait for gpu & fan controller.

RMA

Not much of an update, been lazy during this week plus I am waiting for my 22awg cables & sp120 fans so nothing much to do atm for the build. Its pretty much almost completed, just a little touch up here & there is needed.

So I was testing which looks better on the sata cable, I guess heatshrinkless looks much nicer as expected.

 My switch 810 has an LED button for the leds at the back I/O. So I decided to hook up my luminous panel to this button so that I can use it to switch on the panel & off when is needed. I went straight to cutting the wires & hardwiring the luminous panel to it & it wasn't working. I didnt use a multimeter to test the voltage but I suspect the voltage is running around 3.3V which is the standard voltage for most leds. I thought since the front panel were powered up with a sata power cable, the voltages should be 12V but I was wrong. So I had to scrap that idea off, it would be great though if I could use this LED button :(

Turns out pretty nice :)

Bad news though, I had to drain the loop because as I mention earlier my GPU died so I sent it for RMA. Turns out the tubing is having some slight plasticizer issues. I think so, I haven't do a close up inspection to it but its most certainly not crystal clear. When the loop was filled, its not really noticeable but it is once I drained it. Kinda surprising though because I thought primochill advance lrt wouldn't have this issue or at least what I been hearing from others.

I am not exactly sure what the hell is going on, maybe because I mixed durelene + primochill? Or was it the biocide? Lots of factors are to be considered, so I will be doing some tubing testing tomorrow. Another excuse to update the plasticizer thread that I created haha, I been so lazy that I didn't bothered updating that thread anymore :P

Anyways I am going to replace all this tubing with my left over primochill & flush the loop at least twice. Will see how it performs, if problems still exist then I am going with acrylic tubing. Also I am currently deciding should I replace my Maximus VI Hero to Maximus VI formula? Already drained the loop so I could also change the motherboard eh?

So far I am almost done with the major cable management. Already sew and sleeve the EPS, 24pin, sata cables. I am left with molex, will get it done tomorrow :)
