    These are the 120mmX20mm fans, going to use them as a duct for the Gentle Typhoons.

    AC ryan, the finish/paint was a dull black and not so good.
    I need to sand it and re-paint.

    Yeah it was either those or the Noctuas. The Typhoons were a little cheaper.

    Just a few more pics, still have some painting to do and other things.
    Also still plan on using the gutted shells of the scythe 120mmx20mm fan housings
    as shrouds, they will set between the GT,s and rad.

    Dont know what the temps will be, havent finished it all yet.
    I imagine they will be the same as they have been with my TC 320 to my ST 220.

    BUT...I may switch to the new Enzo tech CPU block i got, not sure yet.

    The 2 4890,s will run on a separate loop .

    Well it looks like im going to be waiting a little longer.

    1: My Corsair HX620 kicked the bucket it seems. (fan in the PSU spins only, nothing else)
    2: So i figured i would just use my Antec 650 NEO, It comes on for a split second and that's all
    I hope it didnt take anything else with it.
    3: Just ordered a SeaSonic 750watt from the Egg, will wait for it to get here and see if it works.
    4: Am also waiting for a PSU from CM to beta test, hopefully it will get here first so
    i only have to swap PSU,s twice.

    2 PSUs not functioning in the same build? I would guess it is shorting or something else is dead then...

    Ok a kinda of good news update.
    The reason my Antec PSU was switching on for only a split second was i had the modular
    6 pin PCIe power connector reversed, on one end it has 6 actual female wires to fill the
    6 pin connector. On the other end (the end that goes to the PSU) it only has 4 actual
    wires. In other words the end that has the white PCIe writing on it was plugged into the PSU.

    I did hear some crackling when i turned the PSU on so not sure if it will work correctly
    it did power up so i could bleed my water set-up. I plugged my 4 pin molex adaptor into the same
    6 pin connect that i had the backwards PCIe wire conected to and both pumps plus my rheobus
    fan controller works.

    I am still going to tear everything down as i do not trust this PSU after i SF,ed it all up now
    plus i have 2 new PSU,s in coming soon.
