And then some After 3 days of work hacking away at my case, fitting and re-fitting, my rad to be sure it fits properly and looks good, i've run into several issues.
1) Can't run push/pull because the RX360 is too thick. I was forced to mount the rad from the bottom and mount only 3 fans from the top outside the case.
2) MCP600 shut off while I was gaming. Cpu overheat temp kicked in and shut the pc off. That was scary! Come to find out there's a washer missing to prevent the impeller from rubbing up inside the housing and slowing down to a crawl. Looked everywhere in my stash and don't have one that fits
Lucky for me I had a MCP655 I purchased several years ago that didn't work. I figured I'd hold on to it and find a dead one and repair it. After lubricating the impeller housing it fired right up. Has a little whine to it, but these are notorious for that. Installed and running. Temps are lowered and i'm happy
I'll post pics when I get new batteries for my digicam.
