[Build Log] Venom - Socket 1155

Nullifier · Feb 5, 2015

Hello,

Just wanted to get my first build log out there.
This is well overdue.

Build color scheme will be mainly Black Green and Chrome.

I was originally going to make my first build log around the x58 system with xeon processor, but having to control the NB temps was slightly annoying.
Anyways! onto the parts.

Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 Rev 1.0 (Arrived)

CPU: Intel i5 3570k Delid (already here an delidded)

Monitor: Philips BDM4065UC 40" UHD (4K) Monitor

Philips BDM4065UC 40" UHD (4K) Monitor

Case: Coolermaster HAF XB EVO

Coolermaster HAF XB EVO

Some pics of the premod case.

GPU Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Rev 1.1 SLI ( already got them)

Original Appearance pre mod.

PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 850watt (already here)

I coated the covers in a rubbery liquid latex to make them look kind of like snake skin. Given the name, I'd say it fits well.

Ram: Kingston Hyperx 2400 MHZ 8gb (owned later to be 16gb)

Pic of the Ram, Kingston HyperX Beast 2400mhz
Picked this particular set for the sharp top of the heatsinks, they will occupy the Black slots on the MB.

CURRENT COOLING TO BE REPLACED: Corsair H80i (owned)
SSD: Crucial MX100 240GB (owned)
SSD: Kingston V100 64gb (owned)
HDD: some crappy 250gb HDD more details later (owned)
DVD: Asus (owned)

PWM Fans: 2x 140mm Arctic cooling
Case fans: 2x 140mm Scythe Glide Stream 1600rpm

I'll be replacing the case, and updating the cooling to custom waterloop over time.

Here are some pics of the delid Process.
Sorry for the quality, done with a cellphone.
30c drop across the board. Core 0 40c drop.

Nope not at all, if you look at the 3rd picture where the CPU is in the Vice, you can see I've put it in on an angle.
1 end on the IHS, one end on the chip, then you just tighten till it pops off. doesn't warp or risk breaking anything since it's pushing the ihs across the PCB.
Least risky way of delidding and quickest imo, I didn't like the idea of taking a razor or Hammer to my chip.

Nullifier · Feb 5, 2015

Just ordered 10 Green LEDs to replace with the blue ones on the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gamings.

Becareful not to dig into the PCB or DIE if going the razor method.

FireFox · Feb 5, 2015

So far i have delidded 5 CPU's all using the same method (Razor), the first one took me 10 minutes the rest took me no more than 5/6 minutes, its like after you delid one the rest is just fun.

For me it has become child's play

Hahahah I know how you feel.

I'm having a bit of an issue deciding what case to go with still on this build.
I'm thinking about going with a Corsair Carbide Cube or a COOLERMASTER - CABINET HAF XB EVO

I can't decide.

I want a fat, cubey case. So any suggestions would be apreciated.
Need room for a custom water loop.

peche · Feb 5, 2015

i like corsair carbide, and also i like pretty much the urban series of thermaltake, and chasser ones... antec 900 could be a nice option,

Looking for a "fat"/deep case.

Yeah that XSPC case right?
Still not available, I'll look around a bit more for it.

Right, XSPC, if i decide to build something bigger than what i have i am getting one of those.

Ugh OMG I found TWO available, one for 340€ the other for 560€.
YUP THATS OUT OF THE QUESTION lol.

FireFox · Feb 5, 2015

because i am planning a new build, with 3 GPU's and a big Watercooler that would be the right choice for me.

i bet you like that case @peche, all Black

It would definatly be the right choice for me as well if I had that sort of extra cash ^_^

So far I'm liking the Corsair Carbide CUBE, and the Coolermaster Haf XB EVO.
Both 100€
Haf XB EVO is my current pick i think, mainly because of how the motherboard lays horizontally. it's interesting. and I dont have to flip my case everytime I need to mess with something.

FireFox · Feb 5, 2015

i would like to continue chatting but i need some rest because i have to get up at 4 a.m and now it is 1 a.m, tomorrow i have 11 hours fly to dom rep ( just for a week) :banghead:

No problem m8! enjoy your trip!

If anyone has any more suggestions on cases where the motherboard lays horizontally let them fly.
As soon as I sell my Asrock Extreme 4 m I'll be buying.

Correct!
Blackcases are ultracool! :cool:

Except TT level 10 titaium ... that metalic grey

Have a look at the Thermaltake V21
I was considering it for my next build.
Admittedly it only fits up to m-ATX but it has room for two 240 radiators and custom cooling.

Nullifier · Feb 6, 2015

The motherboard I bought for the build is full ATX
So that wouldn't work out unfortunatly.
