Very nice build. That case is massive.

Very nice Snef
Gotta love Case labs quality
How do you like the triebworks fans?

thanks

first thing is silence
these fan are really quiet
i run all these at 12v

for performance........ i dont make any side by side comparison but i have a good temp
i need to do some testing, now they are in pull configuration as intake
i will reverse all and check the temp again
if i remember, they have only 1.3 for static pressure, i dont know if its enough for XSPC EX360 or i need more SP

they are huge, 55mm, you need a large case, 55mm + RX360, not all case can take this setup

bye the way, i have a question

i just received my third HD7970 and im not sure if i will have a good flow

now i have 3.8 LpM (1.0 Gpm), if i had the third gpu the flow will be more restrictive and go below 1 gpm
with 2 card, im in serial setup, if with the third, i change to parallel, do you think i will keep my 1 gpm??

remember, i have 2 D5 Vario set to speed 5

Hey, you're building my computer. (I wish). Minus the flashy lights that's pretty much the box I'd like to have. Nice build.

... any chance i can get you to email me your build spreadsheet?

we have similiar setups with the 7970's

I would think the 2 D5's should have great flow and the 3rd 7970 shouldnt change your temps much

I have 8 triebworks on 2 rx480 rads on push in my th10 magnum and I thought they made more noise than the gentle typhoons

bravo sir. :thumb:

RIG UPDATE!

i do some change to my setup

what i do
add a third HD7970

new gift at my door, new XFX HD7970 Core Black OC edition water block installed on third HD7970


http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...2/IMG_0294.jpg

i will change all fan in my rig
i dont like the temp, im sure, im able to have better temp with 3 x 360 rad
i will install all Corsair SP120 High performance edition and all rad in push and pull
now with 3.2 of static pressur for each fan, they will do the job
