Final results

Not exactly what I had planned but still OK

d1nky · Aug 2, 2013

you still got a lot of stuff in a small case fair play, looks decent enough.

now start overclocking that chip, more bench points

RCoon · Aug 2, 2013

A nice clean and tidy start! Now:
Get a blue reservoir, watercool both GPU's, get case to fit in with theme better.

(Also, learn to buy a PSU with a sticker colour you want in future :laugh:

)

Had the PSU for awhile now, will water cool GPUs when I upgrade to the HD 9000 series, and hopefillu i can get a 900D

I dig it.

why is the 24 pin disconnected?| and can you see the fans through the front? be a shame if you couldn't, being painted and all. you also mentioned air brushing, are you going to do the side panel?

and you can always peel off stickers, may void the warranty, but mods are worth it to me.

CPU seems to stop at 4.5GHz. Can't get any higher

Durvelle27 · Aug 4, 2013

Was able to get stable at 4.6GHz @1.488v after I disabled C1E & APM

Also in person the res is blue with the water in it

But

**Update**

4.7GHz requires 1.5v which is to high for me lol so i think i will keep it at 4.5GHz for everyday use

crazyeyesreaper · Aug 4, 2013

If your on an 8320 FX chip 1.5v is fine the 9590 is for example a cherry picked 8350 and its voltage out of box is 1.5v give or take a small bit.

d1nky · Aug 4, 2013

i go up to where ever my boards hits its TDP level.

usually about 1.61v and 5.1ghz

At 4.7GHz 1.5v

CPU - 68c
socket - 78c

Could also try setting 4.7 as the stable on all cores and then using Turbo on a couple cores at 5GHz etc aka copy the 9590 lol

What Case would you guys recommend below $130 and slim line 280mm Radiator

Durvelle27 · Aug 5, 2013

going to try for 4.8GHz and hopefully i can get it

crazyeyesreaper · Aug 5, 2013

for a 280 rad first thing that comes to mind is the COrsair C70 as its ment for the H110 etc but tough call honestly.

Looks nice

:toast:

A HAF XM may hold a 280mm rad (check the specs/reviews)- nice case... It's on my short list for my next project

Can it fit a 240mm & 280mm rad

Not sure...

There's room in the top for 2x 200mm fans so I would say there's a good chance.

Check the CM website link (below)- you may find the answer on their site or in one of the many reviews that have been done on the case:
