Well, it all seems to working fine. If I can get to the store to get distilled water I will probably do this water cooling tomorrow.
And wow this 670 is quiet. Running games on ultra high and I cant hear a thing.

Re: Project Heavy Case
So, I feel pretty confident about everything except for getting air bubbles out. I'm not really 100% what I should be doing in regards to this. As far as I understand, I get everything in place, fill up my reservoir/pump, turn it on, top up reservoir/pump and then close it. After doing that I want to just let it run and move the case around a bit?

Re: Project Heavy Case
basically yes, when the system is running the air will slowly work its way out of the system. Once you see the water settle and it will appear stationary without any visible bubbles you can tilt the case side to side just to get the last few out of the radiator and water blocks.

Re: Project Heavy Case
I have that exact one on my own computer. It works quite well. I even have nine (!!) 120mm fans running off ONE channel on that fan controller. Really high quality looks nice too.

Re: Project Heavy Case
kind of old thread, but how is the 670 holding up? and also, do you have a 3-monitor set up?
im wondering because im debating whether or not i will need a 670 with 4 gb of vram, or just 2.
i will probably go with the 4 however, its only 30$ more.
