You keep upping the time it was on for. Honestly, how long did you run it for?

 

[Mirakledba]

Hm, so I turned it on, looked at the fans, and led's for a second, and then i cant remember if i turned it off THAN i asked my brother to call my brother to see who said he doesnt care.....and then i turned it off, but im 95% sure I Turned it off in like 3-7 seconds because my bro watching me said " thats all? you're already done?"

 

[tiny voices]

That's good. Should be no damage to worry about. I would advise that you don't even do that again though. Lol.

 

[Mirakledba]

I wont. :S Just so you know, IM 10 BILLION % sure it wasnt on for more than 15 seconds(not upping again, just incase i turned it off before or after asking my bro) just so you know because u said 1 minute.

 

[tiny voices]

I wouldn't worry too much. It should be fine. As long as no pins are bent or anything, you should be good to go.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yep Im sure its all good.

 

[Mirakledba]

If I have the option to get a CM storm trooper or a white 600T ( Ihate white cases) Which would be better than can they BOTH fit a 308mm GPU?

 

[tiny voices]

Dude, this is information which can easily be found on Newegg or on the manufacturers website.

I would recommend neither of those. You have no need at all for a full tower case. It will just be HUGE and loud. A normal mid-tower is plenty for your needs.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah, reason why I said option is if i was forced to pick one if I cant get my define R4....I hate those cases.

 

[tiny voices]

I would much rather have something like a Corsair 400r.

 

[Mirakledba]

Its nice. Well i gtg sleep! Gn

 

[nukemaster]

As said above, NEVER do that again.

If it was an older cpu without a auto throttle setup, it would have been toast in that kind of time(dead before you even see the smoke).

Think about trying to dissipate 90+ watts in such a small area.

 

[azzazel_99]

Get a corsair 540d. I want to get one to replace my haf x

 

[Mirakledba]

Nukemaster - But you think its fine right? My CPU.

 

[Mirakledba]

azzazel_99 - I think you mean the AIR 540

 

[nukemaster]

Yes it should be. Modern cpus have built in thermal throttle and shut off to prevent damage. I still word not do it EVER again.

 

[Mirakledba]

I am be bombarded with "NEVER" I am so sorry guys :/ I will never do it again. Its because here in the UAE, I cant really find the alcohol to clean. Ive looked. No one has replied to this yet : Why IS THE H100i SO TINY??? THE WATERBLOCK IS SO SMALL OH LORD IT LOOKED BIGGER in videos! Im confused. lol

 

[Mirakledba]

Guys I think I just found my new case. Its the thing thats on the right arm rests on the couch (not the PSAT book , Idk why thats there, but the box 😀 ) . What'd ya think? 😀 Will they fit?

And Holy crap Nukemaster, You joined this site in 2004? That was before I even moved to the UAE.....WOW

This case right here. I love it! wish i would have seen it before i got my Haf X. When i upgrade my mobo and cpu i will be getting it for my new build probably. Seems like great airflow and should fit nicely on my desktop.

 

[Mirakledba]

yes that is what I meant xD I corrected you. Its AIR 540 not 540D 😛

Look, the h100i is not small. It is the correct size. The waterblock only needs to be the size of the CPU, no bigger. It doesn't dissipate any heat, the radiator does that. The h100i waterblock is actually quite big in comparison to other waterblocks for open loop coolers that do not have a pump in them.

For example.

 

[Mirakledba]

I know but it was my first time seeing an H100i or any Liquid cpu cooler for that matter. I feel like the tiny 120mm fans wont look as big and good as they do in the pics xD

 

[Mirakledba]

Is 35dba loud for a 2350RPM sp120 fan? as you know I bought two sp120s HIGH PERFORMANCE because I want it to cool well if i get 4.5ghz so will they be loud?

 

[tiny voices]

35dba is moderately loud yes. It will not be as loud as the stock fans by a decent amount but it will also not cool as well as the stock fans.

 

[Mirakledba]

Wait so the SP120s I bought that are HIGH performance editions will not cool as good as the stock h100i fans??? You've got to be kidding me. Ok, ignore the sound, just performance wise, look at the picture of the couch I put above earlier, in the bottom right, those two arent as good as the stock h100i ones?
