Still useless with maggy blacks on

I had this problem before so I bought a syringe without the usual rubber. Ended up going the other way and leaking cause it was too loose. Can't win.

Here goes... Read if you want to, don't if you don't. Upgraded my rig a fair bit. Had a stock CPU cooler on and it was doing my head in with its small fan spinning at 73.000rpm so I decided I'd watercool it. I was looking through the options about getting a sealed system where you can't expand it or weather it's best to go all out and make it custom. So here's what happened... Boom, old rig. Not very tidy but can't really be with the case. PSU is a semi modular but there's only so much you can do when you have no room for cable management. Pulled it's insides out, still not a pretty case. Unsure as to why they don't spray the insides of the case? I know you're not supposed to see the insides but it would mence it up a bit. Pretty much all I'm left with, bar PSU and SSD. DVDRW no longer needed in todays day and age Got to work on my mobo (Asrock 970 Pro) Does the job but there's no pins for the USB 3.0 on the case. Removed the old CPU cooler and messed about with the EK waterblock. Really good block, comes with plenty of adapters and fits loads of sockets. Bang Got the case ages ago (NZXT H440), I was held back for about 2 weeks waiting for the E22 ultra clear pipe to arrive. So The radiator and fans were already in. Got a XSPC 360 rad with multi ports incase I decide that I want to run the pipes elsewhere. Also bought some monsoon anti bacterial caps to put there instead of standard caps to prolong it's life. Fans are parvum. Think they're pretty new on the market, high static pressure and only 18.2 db, can't complain! EK 2.2 Pump and res, Not the top of the range but it will do for now until I think about running SLI watercooled. Put plenty of foam under this and stuck it with double sided tape as I can't stand vibration. Using the standard NZXT fans that came with, they are a bit loud and uncontrollable at the moment. Ordered a phobya fan controller as I don't want a stupidly large fan controller. Had my first go at acrylic pipe bending, Much easier at work putting copper in the pipe bender than heating it up with a hair-dryer haha. Pretty suited non the less. I was torn between getting flexible pipe and acrylic as it was my first time building a water-cooled system but I gathered if you're going to do something you may as well do it properly. Cheeky, fixed the motherboard in and put the bitspower fittings in. Ended up extending the elbow's with M/F's so I could still get my ram out easily or going overboard and having tubes stuck in the middle of my computer. Second pipe done! Numero 3 Seems like loads of room for cable management compared to my last case. PSU back in, connecting things back up. Exiting! Turns out the case has it's own light where the IO shield is, came in handy actually. Standard NZXT fans are going back in the front. Used the silicon rubbers from the parvum fans here instead of screws, The radiator wouldn't accept the rubbers so I felt obliged to use them somewhere. Now this is the part where I completely forgot to take pictures cause I was too mesmerised by the coolant. I used mayhems UV white coolant. Bought 2 bottles just to be safe, ended up using about 3/4 of a 1L bottle. Better to be safe than sorry I guess. Filled it all up with the GPU out, lucky enough there were no leaks anyway. Popped the GPU in, connected the SSD, and fitted all the LED's. Here she is Had to put the cheeky fisheye on to see properly. Really happy with how it turned out, the UV does look better in person but as does anything. CPU overclocked slightly. It's only a AMD FX 4100 and will probably be changed when it needs to be but it's happy sitting at 35C on idle. Will be seeing what will run at stable later on. Watercooling fittings are EXPENSIVE, but sexy. I couldn't justify buying drain valve, quick releases, flow sensors and temperature sensors for the coolant as they didn't seem worth it. Who cares what temperature your water is, if you CPU is cool and the heat is being dispersed then what's it matter? Will use a syringe to drain system when needed. Lowest point of loop is on the pump/res anyway. Few other things I'll be doing is lowering the fan speeds, SLI'ing my GPU, another SSD, and upgrading my ram as I only have 4GB running at 1333Mhz at the moment. But this will all be when it's needed and I have funds. (When GTA comes out for PC) Also, sound's a bit homo but I'm waiting for a UV pen so I can colour my owl's eyes in haha Total cost for upgrade: UNKNOWN, and I'd rather not work it out.

Genuinely don't understand the point of putting every other video in to one long one just because it's the end of a year. The 60fps is a bonus though

Unsure as to why that doesn't work but couldn't you just press the multiqoute button on the right and take it from there?

Can we sticky this thread?

"Congratulations, you're alive", said after a drop gap I was pretty proud of haha.

Sick.

Looks sexy, brake levers are different

No, no you do not.

I really don't understand why we're discriminating people because of their age, I've bought parts off people under the age of 16 plenty of times and never really had any trouble. It's easy to tell a difference between a good and a bad advert on the forum, and it tends to reflect on how they are as a person, If they've said, "propa good monty 4 seal bought off ma mate but dnt lyk it, 300£ ono. add ma phone for picz" then they seem like the type of people to mess you about. I think from just looking at the sellers reputation and taking a look through a few of their posts you can get a good idea if the person seems decent.

Just got a few parts for sale as I need the extra space in the garage, anyway, first things first.....

Don't know how picky you are but have you tried dafont.com? There's loads of fonts you can download on there and edit them if need be. http://www.dafont.com/lighthouse2.font?text=Joe%27s&back=theme

I just loved watching it in 60fps, They say you aren't supposed to be able to tell a difference but I noticed before I looked at which mode I was in. Second song straight reminded me of that old selectbikes video

George is such a babe

That line at 3:20 takes some serious balance. I always love your videos then I remember that you ride brakeless which makes everything look even better if you watch over haha

How are you going to do that? Park your bike outside a few rough estates haha On a serious note.. I refuse to leave my bike outside a shop without someone I know there, chained up or not. All people really need is a set of allen keys and pretty much the whole bikes gone :'(

To be honest mate I'm actually on par with the hulk and I had an SL freewheel a long time ago, lasted me a year and a half then I went on to use my king hub. Never serviced it cause I'm a badman and if it isn't broke you don't fix it. Echo's and Jitse's seem to be the way forwards at the moment. Had a tryall and a rockman in the past and they've been poop.

This kinda thing does my head in, but at the same time I love it. There is some comedy gold when looking to buy something, like the time I was looking at a motorbike but I had to "massage" the guy if I wanted more details

You obviously don't ride enough if people see you without a bike.

Nope, will be related to your frame/rim setup. The tnn mounts should make the adjustment you need if it's only slightly touching. You could even try putting washers on the allen bolts so you aren't stuck with the adjustment within the groove on the maggy mounts.

My love for trials videos has grown over the past week, proper TGS video haha, what's the song?

Yes. Nice to see TGS videos still being made, and old deng frames still lasting haha
