My System, check my specs for what's inside, It's an older pic. currently have no cam right now just dug it up on my files. I'll be water cooling this slut soon as I did get some few help on the Swimming in the Ocean thread I made ^_^. gonna upload a better pic once I finished buying all my water cooling parts since it would look better (I think)

old mobo m4a785-m, next to new one asrock 970 extreme3


http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture004249.jpg


took awhile but got the cooler on the mobo, did a pea drop of paste cuz it was looking thin


http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture005878.jpg

because of a stupid mistake i have 32bit so only 4gb will do, and the red blends in

http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture006380.jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture007.jpg


finally all done, needed to ziptie the cpu 8pin cuz it was touching the gpu heat pipes and some neat cable manegement doesnt hurt

http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture008.jpg

after maybe an hour, all done and booted up nicely

http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture009.jpg

the other side with a random sickleflow green fan

http://img.techpowerup.org/130121/Capture010.jpg
If you can, try to run the 8-pin power cable behind the mobo. If not, you could get an extenasion, or you could just try running the cable below the GPU between the slot and backplate.

before the upgrade i bought an extension for a 4pin and routed it in the back, but i might do that for the 8pin cuz its looks really noticible

First build and you went ahead with liquid cooling and a good cable management, i see a brilliant future, simply great

Just one advice, i'll put some protection on the rad to avoid touching the fins in case of internal manipulation, some magnetic 120mm filters or grills, i'd go with the filters so you cover your rad fins and also you'll reduce the dust and hence the temps.

Keep it up and welcome to TPU!

Welcome to TPU!
I agree haha. I picked it up at Frys black friday sale like 6 years ago and it has been great ever since. I just miss the mechanical feel of my K90.

The speaker(s) are a different story. I was bored and I've had them almost as long as my keyboard so me, being bored one day, I tried painting one (the left) and the right I used this craft paint stuff, so they look terrible but they still work great so I'm not complaining
