Show Us Your Rig [6]

[linnemeyerhere]

Thanks guys I'm hopeful to get the pre-paid postage label by Monday and send the H80i back. Cosair told me they would just sent out a replacement and to ignore the RMA emails I was getting but we'll see.

Looking pretty nice Allen

Looking good so far Allen
Corsair are usually very good where rma's are concerned and when I had to rma a H100 it took 5 day's from when the courier picked it up to the day I received it back. That was shipping from the UK to the Netherlands and back too plus they upgraded to a H100i
The hardest thing about Corsair rma's is getting a response on the ticket system, Once they've agree'd to the rma they're usually pretty quick.

If you ever have trouble getting a response from Corsair on a return, just post on their forums and one of the Corsair employees there will expedite things for you.

Alan they should email a return label for you to print.

If I move my Corsair radiator up and down i can hear it go "glug glug glug glug" too... got me slightly worried now lol!
Having said that its still doing a good job at cooling so ill start to panic when things get hot!!

There has to be some air in the system for expansion. Too much air will cause the pump to make more noise, like a propeller in water, its cavitates in a sense, pulling air into the liquid.

This was the auto Corsair response which the technician has told me to ignore. The good news was as soon as I mentioned the large volume of air this guy I spoke to said I'll get you a replacement unit and please send me yours for evaluation.

Alan they should email a return label for you to print.

The Corsair AIO's have a problem with excess air in the loop. This can cause major pump noise, possible pump damage and poor cooling. You can play the RMA game with Corsair and maybe get a unit with less air...or more air.

The best solution is to open the system and top it off. I would do some preventive maintenance while at it. Flush the pump and rad with vinegar and water, rinse well with distilled water. Refill with distilled h2o, add a anti corrosion additive and a biocide. The anti corrosion additive is need because Corsair has aluminum rads. You could change hose outside diameter, (PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT is very good) color and length for a custom look and fit. 3/8-1/2 hose gives you a nice clean look, or 3/8-5/8. You'll need four clamps to match tube OD.

This site has the best info available for PC h2o cooling.

Will you stand behind the warranty if we do that?

Hello Guys!
Long time no see...
Between surgery (spent 17 days in the hospital) and holiday season, I wasn't able to find much time to do anything but recover and work.

Here are some pics of a rig we delivered yesterday which I really enjoyed building and has become my personal favorite. An instant classic, at least in my book!

I hope you like it.

Alan, love the Prodigy build! I've been meaning to do one myself for a while, but haven't found the time or a customer wanting one. It is an amazing case and you are doing an outstanding job!

Steve, Ganji and Paul, I have to make a trip to the post office on Friday or next Monday, so I'll make sure to take care of way overdue debts.

Steve, how are you doing Friend? Moved your rig to the 810?

Tommy, How's Intel treating you?

Lady F, still working you magic with cables?

How's the rest of the wild bunch? Gary, John, Alsis, et al?

Here's the pics.

Cheers,

J

 

[Dude]

You make some amazing builds

Good seeing you, my friend. You do some great builds. That looks just like we've come to expect from you. Yes, I have a system in my 810, I'm building one now in the Phantels Enthoo Primo. Waiting on a couple of parts to be delivered. Seems I spend my life waiting on deliveries.. Actually, I'm rebuilding an old build with some new stuff added. But, it will never look as good as the work you do. I hope the surgery went OK. Good to see you again and hope to see you more often.

Hi Steve! How are you friend?

Thank you very much for your, as always, too kind words.

Glad you moved to the 810! Were you able to fit the RX360 in the end?

Phanteks makes some great cases, love them. What are you planning to fit inside it?

Surgery went just fine, but what was to be one minor intervention and 3 days in the hospital turned out to be 3 very long surgeries and 17 days in bed!!!
Thanks to the Great Architect of the Universe I'm back on my feet, working, and enjoying yet another sailing season down in the South Atlantic.

Cheers,

What an impressive looking system. I love the color scheme. Very nice.

Can't say I remember seeing any of your other systems or posts, but welcome back.

To good health.

Peace

Yeah, I don't think we've met before and that's because I haven't been checking in as often as my friends here deserve.

Thanks for the welcome.

Peace to you.

As always, your work is outstanding. I'm sorry you had to spend so much time in the hospital, not to mention any all. I'm glad you are doing better and making us all look bad with your amazing builds (keep it up, it gives us something to aspire to!).

I haven't done any hardware work at all other than put an SSD and more RAM in my notebook. I still need to reroute the front panel audio cable from my MOBO to my sound card and move a SATA cable from a Marvel port to an Intel port but my idiot hip has been misbehaving and doesn't like me standing for more than a few minutes at a time do I haven't bothered yet. If I wasn't so anal about cable management (when I was a kid, it was called lead dress; instead of sleeving, cables were laced, a dying art), it would be an easy job. Fortunately, it's not an urgent job.

I won't being doing any more builds for a long time unless something blows up with my present rig; I've got way too much money in the little beast to be replacing it or making major upgrades anytime soon. I do need to add a TV tuner or two and, maybe, replace the internal card reader to free up a PCI-e slot but the only other significant change will probably be to add a 4TB HDD, probably later this year (which will cost another fortune since I will also need to buy an additional four 4TB HDDs for backups).

Some pics of some other rigs we delivered recently.

Bear with me!

Hope you like them.

Juan, sure the RX360 fit, but I took it out for right now and put it in the Phanteks. I'm moving my Maximus V Extreme into the Phanteks with a 780 Classified. I have the RX360 in push/pull in the bottom and a UT60 360 in push/pull in the top. Just playing right now. If you could get one, I think you'd love the Phanteks.
