    hello community. i was picking through my box of random water cooling bits and found a couple of old xspc delta v3 blocks. these are the ones with the 1" raised square section that's supposed to be right over the cpu die. i though it might be a neat idea to lap the one block flat to see how...

    Considering 400UX-2 Eyefinity

    i've delayed adopting a three monitor setup for a while, partly because of space constrains and partly because my 30" has been just enough. why try eyefinify or nv surround at all if you're not going to go bat shit crazy with it. i understand for most a triple 30" setup is the gold standard...

    anyone know if a 280 radiator can fit in the top of a coolermaster cosmos 1000 without modifications? i know i can put two 140mm fans up top, but i don't remember if the pre drilled screw holes were too far apart to accommodate this sized radiator.
