Hello guys....my first buildlog here on TPU. Last build wasnt up to mark and had a lot of problems in it. So decided on scrapping it and getting on with a whole new build with much better and drool worthy specs.
Heres a little shot of my last build.
Now onto new stuff. Lets list down the specs first
Motherboard: EVGA SR-2
CPU: Intel Xeon E6545 x2
Ram: 12GB G.Skill (still thinking on which one)
HDD: 1x 120GB SSD + 1x 256GB SSD Already own. Might add another 2 SSD's, still thinking on that too.
GPU: Sparkle GTX 480 Tri SLi (already have these and dont wanna jump to 5 series. Will upgrade to 6 series when it launches)
PSU: Silverstone Tek 1000W + 800W
Casing: Little Devil V8 Inverted HPTX
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watercooling Specs: Most of the stuff i already own from my previous builds, so just gonna list down stuff that i need to order.
2 x EK HF CPU Blocks
1 x EK Coolstream 480 Radiator
1 x XSPC 360 Radiator
Tygon Tubing
Feser One Red Coolant
Bitspower Blood Red compression fittings (trying to get a hold of these directly from bitspower)
Build has been sponsored by the following manufacturers. Special thanks goes to them
Lets start with a couple of pics that i took of the hardware that has arrived.
A couple of days ago, my motherboard and processors arrived.
The pair
Hooked this up quickly on air cooling to see if the board was DOA or not and if everything was running fine out of the box. Was glad to see that it did
All ok!
Awaiting the Silverstone Psu's to handle 3 x gtx 480's. Also finally took pics of accessories that came with the board.
got down to sleeving lately.....i wanted to see first if i should go with just orange black or throw a little grey in too. Here are the results...quick happy with this look ill be honest.
Bistpower Stuff arrived
today the tubing arrived....finally found one in size which was orange coloured. Here are the amazing pics
Thats it for now. thanks for watching. currently waiting for the case to arrive so i can start planning on how to put everything in together.
