Just received the Hailstorm this morning, and noticed that my stage 6 LC doesn't have a rear radiator as opposed to VideCorSpoon's and Prator's Hailstorm review.
And here is my current config: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Black OPS HailStorm Edition Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS Rampage III Extreme (Intel X58 Chipset) (Features USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s) System Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 1000W Corsair (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (40GB Solid State (By: Intel) (Model: X-25V Edition) (Extreme Performance) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache) (Model: Black Edition WD1002FAEX) Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 1.5GB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 6: Sub-Zero LCS Dual Loop: CPU & Dual SLI/CrossFire Video Cards Called DS and the tech said the radiator is located inside, which I already knew that, but always thought that the stage 6 has 2 radiators in it's cooling configuration. Can anyone clarify? |

There is 2 radiators, they are both inside the case, it is how we are building them now.

You're welcome!
Exactly. This allows us to ensure your system does not get damaged during shipping from the weight of the rear radiator. You can check that the team mounted a second radiator setup at the bottom compartment of the HailStorm. 
By the way, this is not a post asking for configuration advice, so I'll be moving it to the 'General Discussion' section. Edited by Alex - 05 Nov 2010 at 6:34pm |

i said id post later once i can get it running, its not really an issue with the vcore i dont think justin, its just about everything else though, i have yet to get 1 game to run, or the system to reboot clean more then once or twice in a row, overclock errors (just on the first boot, seems ok now *shrug*) NTLDR errors with no boot. hard drives just disappearing mid installs. and so on. i know shipping loosens sone stuff up. this is all after fully checking and re-seating all the sata cables, ram, ect ect. and sorry ablahblah. im usually quite passive and easy going but after month and $7000 id say i have a decent reason to be less then enthused. but again i will apologize. im usually in quite a good mood : ) . ganna mess with it a little more. maybe replace the sata cables and look around the bios a little more. maybe its got something to do with the disappearing act of the HDs in use

Please start a new thread, and post your issues, as much detail as possible.
Have you ran Prime 95? and checked your temps?
