so a change is needed,

Close loop system are very easy to install. It already comes with all the necessary parts. Basically you mount the radiator and fans to the top of your case. Install the backplate to the motherboard. Put the CPU block over the CPU. Tighten the screws. Connect the fan cables to the CPU block. And finally connect the SATA power cable and of course the fan cable to the CPU_FAN header.

See? Easy and painless. lol

☺ note to self - remember to be more specific when asking in a forum.. And try to google it first, look in another thread...

So let try again - on the mobo there is a "pre made" or ready made cooling to water, do i want to use this ? (of course i will ) what parts are good or what do i need to awoid..

Found this webpage coolerkit.dk - Do i bye the parts 1by1 or a kit ?

Btw: here is what i have orded

1,00 stk. CORSAIR 32GB DDR3 DOMINATOR PLATINUM 2133MHZ CL9 (4X8GB)
1,00 stk. INTEL CORE I7 3770K 3.5GHZ 8MB S-1155 IVY
1,00 stk. ASUS MAXIMUS V FORMULA Z77 S-1155 EATX IVY
2,00 stk. SAMSUNG 840 PRO SERIES 128GB SSD SATA/600 MLC

tfor using that future, you need to run a costum water cooling loop ( not a closed loop like the H100i )
look in the build tread and you will see what i mean.
it runs great on air too, its there for the ones that want to run water so they dont have to pull it off to put on a custom water cooler in stead.
and to have said it, custom water is expensive, you need the case for it, you need space for it, you need the monney for it 😉 , it WILL get added more parts to it over time 😛 +++++++++++

Hi ALL 🙂

THX 4 ALL YOUR INPUT !

I know ill love makeing this build.

@Zka17 - no not relly - i just have a weekness for big things, and i hate those small cramped spaces and last... with a plan to do a costem water system as the next project I just think it was the right thing to do 🙂

@kkn - .... your a so right, but i did look in the build thread, and crap it looks NIIICE, water - next project 😄

Again thx to all your input to help me.. i guess this is not gonna be the last time, but thx again.

That sounds pretty good... do you need such a big case?

[Krindor]

The formula fusion thermo won´t work with closed loop systems, the H100 is solely for CPU cooling. For the fusion thermo a open water cooling system is needed.

I see no problem with that setup, you´re good to go.

[Zka17]

Have you seen the 900D from Corsair? It seems to have better cooling options for the future... 🙂

[Ostergaard76]

did now -thx a lot 😄

it looks great with the 4 fans at the bottom - do think that the 800D is okey 4 now....... maybe 🙂

[Zka17]

The problem with the 800D is that you're very limited with the rads on it... - but, hey, it's your choice... 🙂
