just got my hadron hydro. works great. looks great. cools great.
decided not to build it myself (damn kids), and instead ordered it pre built.
not sure about their liquid loop mounting choices though :-(
guess where they put the missing metal piece

apart this nag, nice system: evga stinger z87, evga water cooled 780, samsung 1Tb ssd

My EVGA GTX 670 fan was starting to rattle. Figured I'd do what any sane man would do and strip the whole system and watercool the whole thing.
This was my first ever 'loop all the things' build. I checked all the forums I could and watched more watercooling how-to's than I cared for. EVGA support, Swiftech, and FrozenCPU were really helpful in answering my questions and recommending additional parts for me.
 
Personal thoughts: The included compression fittings were down right PAINFUL to use as opposed to the 2 additional fittings i got for the card (which went on without any special tools or swearing whatsoever).
 
 

 
This is the PC i keep at my office (to do real work in, i swear... no, that's not a full steam library. you're seeing things)
 
i5 3570k @ 4.2
8GB Corsair Vengeance LP @ 1600
MSI Z77IA-E53 (cause it had an MSATA)

Front side of Hadron is best looking front panel.
Nice cooling, no worry for CPU/GPU at this summer.

My current planned specs are as follows:
Case = EVGA Hadron Air
Motherboard = EVGA Z97 Stinger
CPU = i5 4670K
CPU Cooler = EVGA ACX
RAM = HyperX Fury Black Series 8GB (maybe 16GB)
GPU = EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC (with EVGA's back plate)
SSD = SanDisk Extreme II 480GB
 
I am planning on switching the exhaust fans with the Corsair Air Series AF120 LED White since there aren't any green. Other than that I am good to go, but I am just waiting on some videos reviews for the Z97 Stinger. It looks like a great MoBo, but I want to see some professional testing and opinions.

Just built a new LAN rig with the Hadron Hydro. Being able to fit hardware this powerful into such a small space is great.
 
I'm very happy with the case overall, but there are some things that could be better. Making the drive cage removable would make it possible to install an H100i without modding the case. I did not have any issues with the PSU fan. The only time I hear it is right when I turn the system on and it goes to 100% for a second.
 
CPU temps max out at 50C in games at 4.2GHz. Higher clocks are possible with this cooling, but I have not had the time to push it further.
 
CPU: i5 4670K @ 4.2GHz
Mobo: ASRock Z87E-ITX
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1866
GPU: EVGA GTX Titan*
SSD: Crucial M500 480GB
Cooling: Corsair H100i - required cutting a small piece of metal at the top of the case
 
*gets borrowed from my main rig for LANs, otherwise I use the iGPU.

Upgrade Humble Hadron Air version 2.0 
I replaced the 2 white led stripes to a LED RGB stripe with controller.
For some reason, when I first installed the LED stripe i tied it directly into MOLEX output 12v PSU Hadron Air, the LEDs wasn't working, or working very feeble (remember that this LED RGB stripe has a total length of 80cm and estimated consumption of only 3.4 w). Thus, I had to make changes and adapt the output power of the LED stripe controller to be connected to the power jack in my home by a 12v source (those that feed power to routers, modems, cell phones etc. ...) and it worked. Now I can turn the LED on and off independently the computer is on or not, so it was even better!
Also arranged a backplate for the EVGA GTX 780.
This Backplate serves primarily for two things: protection of exposed electronic components of GPU and improve the aesthetic / visual machine.
Follow demonstration photos and video of this 2.0 version
