Hello everybody
I thought I'd post my progress so far in the quest for MOAR.
Basically, my setup before:
What I am using to upgrade:
The main reason behind doing all this was that with my CPU OC'd to 5Ghz, I was getting a max temp of 57 degrees C which is a wonderful temp but I saw the opportunity to improve the loop and so...well...CUD.
After removing the old SP120 fans, I mocked up the whole setup so that I could figure out in which order I should do things:

Planning the plumbing and figuring out just how to squeeze the tubes between the PSU and HDD's...

I thought I'd post my progress so far in the quest for MOAR.
Basically, my setup before:
- 1 x 280mm Radiator.
- 2 x 120mm SP Fans in Push only (The HAF XB allows the use of 120mm fans on the 140mm fan's bracket)
- XSPC Raystorm CPU Block.
- XSPC Bayres Pump.
What I am using to upgrade:
- Upgrading the two 120mm SP Fans to 140mm SP Fans...then adding another 2 of them so that I have Push/Pull across the whole Radiator.
- Adding a second Radiator - a 120mm.
- Putting two new 120mm SP fans on the 120mm Radiator.
- All the relevant plumbing that goes with it.
