I have an Evga GTX 680 SC 2GB with full cover block lying around that I'll probably throw in here as well for PhysX & GPGPU use.

i have decided to do the same with my GTX 680 when upgrade it, selling it on a ridiculous lower price isn't something that i like,

assuming your going to use the desk stand accessory for that bad boy?

khemist · Oct 27, 2016

Yeah, i've got a load of stuff coming including a fan controller, the base for the rad, some pass through fittings, a res mount that cost over £70 (WTF?) and a heatkiller block and backplate for my 1080.

My DIY power amp gone bust on one of it's channel so I use my old trusty Rotel RA-820 amp back

Also I found the wonky keyboard switch on my CM Storm QuickFire Pro keyboard (number 3) and replaced it with the pause button switch which I never use. Made my 104 keys keyboard to 103

Since my old amp is back, I put back my Titanium HD, and dug up my toolbox and see tons of opamp I don't use, bought them but never tried it. So I try combination of LT1028 and LT1498. Sounds lovely, bass is more pronounced than old opamp female voice, most notably Katie Melua sounds more refined without shrill (previously it's LME49710HA and LME4970HA, bass are too tight and higher frequency a bit cold)

Dropped to 1 fan on the MK13, a Koolance 120mm, and changed the top 140 (above the red light) to a Masscool. The Masscool's fan screw thread was off-center and oblong-ed the thin aluminum roof's holes slightly

Hmmm, some lovely machines here!

I thought I'd put a quick one up of mine, it's a work in progress as I'm about to change the coolant (to clear/uv blue), also changing the cpu waterblock to the full copper version to match the other blocks better, also need to put my UV LED strip back in. I found I can use the fan speed knob on the case as a dimmer since all fans are running off the motherboard. Sorry for the dust, can't be bothered to clean it right now, I'll put more effort into pics when it's finished

Mods to the case basically just involve removing all dust filters, and the stamped metal mesh front back and top. The main mesh all the externals are covered with is restrictive enough so I've minimized restrictions wherever possible. I also put a 120mm fan in the drive bays. To minimize pump noise, the reservoir is attached with rubber stand-offs on a stainless steel plate which is bolted to drive bays and bottom of case. Rear fan is attached externally with a black wire grill, due to the plastic bezels extending back it's ended up flush with the back of the case which is handy, I wouldn't have liked that if it was more visible.

Hmm, scrutinizing my own pics, I want to paint the asus wireless card too, mostly to black up the io shield, but the red won't match when coolant is changed... Need to dig out a can of black paint.

Suggestions welcome

@infrared great pics! you should give me some tips for pics! i suck taking hardware pictures,

regards,

infrared · Nov 2, 2016

Cheers, although I think it's mostly the camera that makes my terrible photography look good!

I've got a 500w halogen flood light i use sometimes (first couple of pics) which can help, the last two are just with flash though, seemed to come out really nice. It actually doesn't look that good in reality, there's not enough lighting to make the red coolant look it's best. Also dusting is good, but I'm lazy and it'll just get dusty again lol.

tabascosauz · Nov 2, 2016

@infrared get a 220v Metrovac! Plug it in, secure fan blades with a pen, turn it on, blast a way and in a minute's time, you're all done.

I must sound like a walking billboard for metrovac at this point :laugh:

but seriously this thing is the best solution for PCs since sliced bread.

Cheers, they look pretty cool. Usually i just take it outside, fire up the compressor and blast it with a pointy nozzle, but this thing weighs a freakin tonne so I'll leave it a bit longer between dusting. I guess I could always go over it with mini dyson and a microfibre. It's on 24/7 either folding or gaming so it gets dusty really fast.

Yep, that's the kit. They are really nice, but I needed to buy these for the headphone jack after I replaced my card reader/ I/O panel combo and lost my headphone jack. Can't game until 3:00am with the rest of the family asleep by using speakers.

I've seen refurb kits for around $35

I've got this coming again and a lot more,.

I never got around to using it last time and sold it on.. pics up when i get the stuff.

Are you mouting that rad on that Silverstone case?

khemist · Nov 3, 2016

No, that is a setup i had years ago, i sold the rad off before i even used it, now i've bought the same rad again and will be running it as an external setup into my Caselabs BH7 case.

khemist · Nov 4, 2016

My old rig from 2014 i think, not sure if i posted it here.

That TJ08 is a really nice little case for someone on a budget and wants a smaller case.
