If by "MSI 7990" you meant Radeon HD 7990 graphics cards, I suggest you change that to some other graphics card. I doubt that SKU will ever launch.

If we don't see a reference 7990 launched then I'll probably just wait till the 8000 series - unless we see some retail water blocks for those monstrous non-reference versions that have been shown so far.

Now that the thread has been approved;

Well here they are

I was taking pictures of the build process... but it seemed unnecessary and was slowing me down hehe so here are a few progress/unboxing pics along with some final pics. I'll be taking a lot more tomorrow with hardware in it in the beautiful AZ sun!

^lul wrong focus point

A HUGE THANKS TO JIM @ CASELABS! This case is a work of art, just breathe taking. The instructions were easy and straightforward, everything was labeled well, and all the material is amazing quality.

Oh weird... the rest of the pictures didn't copy. I just used the UD7 for the photoshoot. My SR-2 is currently in it. I'll have to repost the pics.

Got bored waiting for UPS






























CABLE MANAGEMENT COME AT ME!

Good news & Bad news concerning the build.

Good news: I was able to purchase some serious folding hardware

Bad news: The money I had set aside to buy 7990s on launch date is now gone

Huge thanks to Gene for the tubing! This is easily the best quality tubing I've used, I'll put up some comparison shots later. I love dual 24v pumps
















Part of the blame for the delay in this build...

Apologies everyone, I've been neglecting updates on other forums.












Skulltrail:

Ghettooooooooooing it like a boss

Some minor changes:



































































































Got these for a nice price. I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why I went with such an old card. One because it's me, two because I don't game that often and 5870 quad fire is more than plenty for myself. Lastly, the 2GB of vram over the 1GB ref will very nice for 1440P and over. Paint is a little chipped but I plan on repainting the red accent orange anyway.

I do plan to watercool these.

FC10 courtesy of Lamptron!

















No G-Vans product here folks! This is heavy duty, high quality FC. I wasn't even aware the FC10 had a temperature controller on it and was pleasantly surprised to see it! It also included a 2012 calendar, which I was happy and kind of bummed to see as it's almost 2013...however I flipped it over and saw that it was a 2013 calendar as well

Huge kudos to Spawn32 on OCN & Lamptron for sponsoring this! More to come

Stock


Or is it :sneaky:


:ninja:


Stock & Raystorm


Stock Screws


Raystorm Screws, did I mention it was perfect?


The problem...


This block looks meant for this card


Stock off - has no problem with clearance on the other side.


Mmm nice and dirty. Just the way I like it.


More of the problem:


Top back on, love this


Another pic.


Probably be ordering the other Raystorms shortly.

My rad looked like this... see that dust? Yeah imagine that on the entire rad. It's nice and clean now


A little frontal rearrangement


Dem Ares


R.I.P.


Yummy


Did some rearranging, added back the plate separating the main chamber from the bottom chamber. I think this looks a LOT cleaner.


FC10 back


FC10 Front


Pump stuff


Final shot for today:


So basically to update everyone on the other forums.

My SR-2 died, so had to order a replacement which put a huge delay in the build as well as only allowing me to build one of my 2P 2011 setups

On a positive side, my new SR-2 will be here next week, as well as chips for my Z9PE-D8 WS.

I have a couple random things coming in from the DD fire sale, and a second PSU for the STH10 portion.

What about trimming the heatsink on the side that blocks you from installing the wb and mount the raystorm horizontally?
I know it'd be a pain with the tube routing but you'd have a shot at watercooling them, damn 8 pin of doom

I love the color theme of the build, keep it up man
