Why i used Black Curiosity as my project title?
The very first time i went into WaterCooling was due to curiosity, bought a swiftech kit and started my adventure.
"They said curiosity killed the cat... hopefully, my curiosity won't kill anything. especially since my curiosity is on watercooling my pc!"

Temperatures on AIR
Im running a Q6600 with the stock heatsink at the beginning, temperatures weren't on the bright side.Only a slight OC to 3GHZ and it gave me an avg temperature of 48degrees per core!.
Therefore i told myself i needed WC, and so im here writing up this LOG for u people to admire

What casing i used to house my watercooling equipment?
Okay, i have looked at many cases, and one very thing that i hate about cooler master cases is those "so called" tooless designs that looks so awfull, this made me steer away from their casing.
Moving on, i looked at lian-li cases, finally something that catches my attention is the ArmorSuit PC-P80(its a monster i know). Firstly, its very very spacious, Secondly, it easily fits 3x120 rads in the casing.
lastly, i love how it looks

I want to thank a few people, especially Froze, he helped me alot and i believe many of u out there to get the best prices u normally wont get, so give this guy more support !(and he is a fantastic friend too!)
Bianco also helped me alot, for example, he guide me through this project log as i am still a newbie and credits should go to him. (thanks bro for ur help and support!)
Darkbladez is another guy who is real helpfull, this is the man who thought me how to do sleeving, he made the painstaking procedure of sleeving, into a fast and easy to learn lesson!

SPRAYING THE FRONT MESH RED!!!

started to dismantle the door and took out the mesh


brought it down to my backyard and sprayed it white first, so as to bring out the real tone of red.


next i sprayed a thin layer of red and left it to dry for 30mins.


this is how it looks like after 3 coats of paint. time to let it dry.
