Kickass Hardware

That's What I'm Talking About..........good Hardware
 
YES... great hardware, great WC system, great case - i give it an A+ :D.

But you need to put up some pics of the finished build!
 
off to a good build,, Lets see what kind of finisher you are. Also awesome fish & bird in the first pic
 
im with everyone else this thing should be screaming fast when its finished, also i the fact that you went with the DO stepping i7, was that intentional? either way it will take what ever you could possibly throw at it.
 
stock cooler? O_O

I don't think he bought lc only for the mb lol... as he said, the system is not yet ready.

nice until now but I will vote the finished system
 
yes but he installed the cooler so he will keep moving on. not removing components..

Looking good. That board block really gives out good layout and curves. Id like to see how you fit the Fesser on top ^^. Or does HAF already have screws to fit the 120x3 rad on top?
 
The case is a CM ATCS 840 not a HAF.

Its looking good,i have a PA120.3 and its massive so it had to go on top of my silverstone TJ09.

Your right, thought it was a haf at first glance.


@Howard,
Dont forget the biocide, that UV light will accelerate algae growth. Nice layout for a first time liquid cooling build. I see youve been reading and researching a lot. ^^
 
Nice hardware chasis a little small.

l would prefer a bigger chasis for your hardware,giving you that powerful Rig look.

Very nice job though.keep up that hardwork.

QBjorn
yep thx for reminding bro, but i'm using Feser UV Fluid, isn't that good enough for anti-algae things?
 
I voted 10/10 because:

wow,coz it's nice,clean, sexy built..
it's perfect for me..

here's mine, hope it's nice for u too..

thx! yep about that Xeno Pro, there's slight increase of performance, but slightly! let's say for ping, before using it is around 150 after Xeno Pro like 120-130. so it's obvious there whether u really want it, but for eye candy? why not.. hehe

lookin 4ward to that-
Trying to hit 4Ghz on that i7? Lemme know your stats when u manage to hit it-im only peltier cooled ATM,im focusing on WC-ing my GPUs-*
Start off with these settings-then try for 4ghz and lemme see your Load temps.

nice, outstanding WC! Minor mods keep a rig tidy and this is doing great in that respect!
9/10
 
Looks really good, is your flow going into the chipset first, if yes then your cpu is at the end of the loop getting the hottest water,, och for temps at 4Ghz

hey thx bru!
my loop is CPU --> Mosfet --> Chipset NB+SB --> Radiator
i've done some tests of Prime95 or OCCT, with 4.3Ghz and 4.0Ghz settings it ran pretty hot at full load (71'C) when ilde over 45'c, it's too risky..
so, i stay at 3.2Ghz at this moment, until i got brighter idea of low temp/volt 4.0Ghz.
any idea?
