water cooling question

You win. Unfortunately, you don't know as much as you think you do. Stop being a cocky prick and get off my back. Next time I bother you enough for you to write me an essay, think, turn away, and go to another thread. Or if that doesn't help, get some professional help. Just a forum. Next...

water cooling question

I already pointed out that the information was biased. Any real person would take it with a grain of salt. The fact of the matter is that UV light of ANY kind does slowly destroy acrylic, even normal light. Even if you can't see the cracks or seams, it does not mean your acrylic res has been...

questions about moding my Lian-Li PC-60 Plus?

So it can be cut but only in limited proportion (which is why you would need to make many holes, like connect the dots).

questions about moding my Lian-Li PC-60 Plus?

I'm wondering... Are there nibblers that are rated to cut aluminum thicker than 1.5mm? All Lian Li's have 2mm aluminum panels -_-

water cooling question

If you want my honest opinion (and not fact, much of what I will be saying is biased): Reservoirs are not worth the cost. They add more risk to the system as there is a pool of water housed that is not technically in the loop. Unforseeable consequences can occur such as the acrylic gets weak...

Many months would do the trick, The best way to combat it is to use a bay reservoir so that only minimal surface area reacts to the UV, or you can do a custom job and encase the res in metal (preferably aluminum as it's easier to work with).

Do I need a new case?...

Good cable management will improve your airflow marginally (several degrees at best).

Lower your ambient temperature and youre CPU temperature will go down. Best cooling option would be... GET AN AIR CONDITIONER.

If you're CPU HSF is stock, those are normal temperatures. If it's not, consider upgrading to an XP-120 or Big Typhoon or even water cooling. Slap some AS5 or Ceramique and your temperatures will drop like hell.

Front audio ports on a Lian Li

Yea, it's pretty damn stupid to me too. I just resorted to using a USB headset so I don't have to deal with all that crap. I'm using to onboard sound until I get mY X-Fi.

water cooling question

The T-line functions just like the reservoir, you can let the water bleed by just placing the computer case in a direction in which the t-line will be at the highest part and air will naturally travel upwards (lighter than water). Both the T-Line and the Reservoir are, functionally, the exact...

water cooling question

I think he means t-line. The point of a t-line is almost the same as a reservoir except it doesn't store any water. It isn't mandatory, it's just an option to consider between reservoirs or t-lines (depending on how much space you have, or are willing to use). A t-line is easier to fill IMO...
