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.

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.

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

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
