So you learnt to play with soft pipes, and now killing it on hard pipes. You sexy beast. @Juggy


LOVE IT! Guess I know what I am buying when I can.... Front distro xD Are you putting in side fans for intake? and rads are both pushing out?

Thats actually not that bad considering the cost of importing from EK (I assume you imported).
Oh but of course you don't have a 200% import tax in Qatar... wanker...

Hahahahahaha, I paid QR50 for each package that came in, regardless of its value. Roughly R200 in processing fees.

Heh heh, thanks bud. Yeah, it has been a very cool learning experience, I did however choose the easiest hardline option with only 2 bends so it wasn't too difficult.

I have top and rear fan for exhaust and bottom are intake.

Be mindful that your chungus is going to be dumping heat into the case and out through the top rad. It will increase fluid temps.

I have this exact issue atm, if I run without a side panel my load temps drop about 15 degrees. Hence me looking for a front mount distro so I can make my rads both intakes and the side panel fans and rear fan exhaust.

I got mine with both top and bottom set to exhaust at the moment, and looking for another rear fan so I can get some air intake.
Currently without my side panel on my coolant temps are at 30c while idle, and jumps to 41c when gaming and cpu is being pushed.

Also my temp sensor is on the wrong pipe so it detects temp before coolant goes through 2nd rad so not 100% accurate.

I am planning on making both rads intake on the next fluid change and clean, The rear fan is gonna bekak itself....

Let me know how it goes for you and if you get a noticeable temp change.
Will push me to getting a rear intake fan sooner.
