This is part 1 of an cooling overhaul in my Define R4. Part 2 will be on cabling and will probably be up by the end of this week. This is my personal rig that I work on outside of 'TastyPC' hours so I apologise if you don't like the mini-update format of these vids.

Specs:
Fractal Design Define R4
Asrock X79 Extreme 4
Intel i7-3820 @ 5GHz
Corsair H80i with an SP120 Quiet edition
Corsair 16GB Vengeance LP 1600MHz
EVGA GTX 660
Fractal Design Newton R3 - 600w Platinum
2x Corsair ForceGS 240GB SSDs
12TB of starage (including a WD RE4 Black Enterprise HDD - Hence heat concerns)

I'm thinking the series will be something like:
1: HDD and Front Radiator Placement
2: Cables/PSU/Theme
3: Top Rad/Fans
4: Running the loop - Time lapse
5: Cooling results/benchmarks/finished rig

Shouldn't take me long to do just need to get some free time and order the parts :)

Project Tasty is coming soon as well.
