Wynoochee, my gaming rig (named for a Hyrdroelectric power plant near my home), doesn't get much sunshine. It's housed in the bottom of a big wiring closet far from my display/kbd/mouse setup so I don't have to hear it's big blowers (on it's side too so it doesn't have GPU/CPU cooler warpage). But it's new pretty case and ASUS Sabertooth z170 Motherboard (the local tech shop bailed me out this weekend after my EVGA fried), look so damn good I couldn't resist photographing.

It's a shitty cellphone pic, no DSLR for this poorly lit room, but hey, it's still good looking. This case has proper cable management too (though I could do better, it's so nice to finally have somewhere to stuff those wires!)

An even worse quality shot with the case panel off, so you can see my mighty, 2000RPM Sunon MagLev Blowers and fancy Titanium efficiency EVGA PSU.

So a couple of projects got some progress. One finished part 1 and the other the same.

First one of trying to figure out what to do with my monitor mounted compooper.

I was thinking of using that for my network junk.

As for the other project (Thanks to @Norton)

It just needs a nice little gpu to match and I'll have a cute little gaming rig for guests or when the main rig needs a nap.

ok ... shipping delay ... model change, arriving tomorrow (confirmed)
@P4-630 well MSI it will be

(not the same as yours, not in stock)

more to come : back to CPU custom loop (EKWB EK-Supremacy-EVO plexi/copper received today

)

Z-Line Belaire Glass L Desk from Amazon.

sooo ... what's the point of the founder edition msrp and retail stock model msrp ... since they are the same, the manufacturer thought the same as i did ... except MSI .... at last in Switzerland there is one 1070 custom that is cheaper than a founder, well that would be nice if ... the baseprice of a 1070 founder edition was not equal to the 1080 retail MSRP ... :laugh:

(609chf/617.11$ ) meaning the model i took (the only one in stock at day one disponibility date) was 531chf/538.07$ (far from the 379$ eh?), my 980 was refunded up to 80% of her price, still had to add 1chf ... so that 1070 is 80%+1chf of the Poseidon Platinum price

oh well ... not bad looking, nice review about it on Newegg and other sites, no backplate :cry:

but a nice looking black PCB, Zero Frozr cooler is nice, black and white goes with anything and the SLI cover are red ... no issues for the look then (ALTHOUGH PAYING A PREMIUM OVER A PREMIUM and NO BACKPLATE is a shame! well ... i didn't really pay for it ... 1chf ... :roll:

)

i think i need a KRAIT motherboard ... or not ...

lil' extra ... since i have 2 TKL keyboard ... that little thing come in handy in some soft that need numpad numbers :roll:

(the pics of the EK-Supremacy-EVO will go in sexy close-up ) eh? EKWB pack some GC-Extreme with their block? way to go EK!

block fitting and loop redone will take some time (mainly to figure a new layout for it )

No backplate

Hope it clocks well.
Sad, for such premium price they should have included a backplate.

jaw shwaa · Jul 15, 2016

so heres my living room pc "atm" , and i may have gone over board for a media pc , but i made it out of spare parts i had , and have only spent about $100 on it. so all in all it wasn't a bad deal .
corsair spec-01
msi 790xt-g45
msi 6950 , unlocked to 6970
athlon ii x3 unlocked 4th core
kingston ddr2 8gb
thermaltake 600w
zalman cooler
lg blue ray burner
aero cool shark fans

i did a lot of little things if you cant tell , painted the graphics cards from red to blue , some painted acrylic panels ,and made a carbon fiber cover for the crossfire bridge , and a little bit of cable sleeving and soldering on the 6 pin plugs , and a dual hdd bay from an old computer mounted under the basement
im still not sure if this is a high end nostalgia rig....but ill post up a build log as soon as i have all my photos in one place

GREAT SCOTT!!!

Outback Bronze · Jul 15, 2016

Hey guys,
Here is all my hard work....
I decided to get a Heat Gun instead of using my wife's hair dryer...

This is what my PC looked like before.
Very similar. Only one card cooled though.
I have circled what needed to go. Originally I just bent the chassis to fit my res in, this time I decided to do it properly!

Naked Card

The original back plates that came with the cards would not mount correctly with the block installed.
So what I did was just put some double sided tape just to sit them on top.
As you will see from the picture's, they came up pretty good.

khemist · Jul 15, 2016

Very nice, looks great!.

rhkcommander959 · Jul 15, 2016

Nice build outback bronze, I always liked the look of piping versus tubing - much cleaner. Is that a 2x 140mm rad?

Nah mate, is a 1x280mm Rad 60mm thick.

I believe that is what he meant, as in a radiator that uses two 140mm fans.

I had the armor version of the 980ti, i had it on water but with the air cooler it would hit 80+ even with the fan at 100%.

tabascosauz · Jul 16, 2016

@GreiverBlade how could you betray your mech brethren with a rubberdome numpad?? :laugh:

The G80-3700 has been the king of numpads for 25 years! If you're feeling particularly adventurous you can find them on eBay, that's where I got mine, slightly yellowed from age but brand spanking new.

nah I'm just an extremist of a stickler for quality input devices and you already know that

Seriously though, does anyone have a Ncase M1 that I could have somehow missed seeing in this thread? I'm thinking of getting one in tandem with the inevitable GPU upgrade (likely RX 480/GTX 1060/GTX 1070) and want to know if I can fit Ol' Beastie's beloved NH-D9L (115mm height) in there whilst still having a NF-F12 or something on the side panel. Apparently I have a problem with using all these niche coolers which no one else uses, so no one can ever tell me whether my D9L or L9x65 can fit in any given case.

980Ti was notoriously hotter than the 1070/1080 (or even 980 ) aka: the armor is perfectly fine for something that is not a 980Ti or 1080Ti (later :laugh:

) never seen more than 69° on bench (when i play skyrim the fans don't run for almost 1 hrs :roll:

meaning the card does not even reach 60° )
altho it's the same Twin Frozr type? (iirc the one used on the 1070 is the IV ) ah ... yes the same cooler but not the same fan (not that it would make a difference ... not the same GPU also :laugh:

)

funny the Armor is exactly the same PCB as the gaming X but it only miss 2 phase, 4 mosfet and the 6 pin (the placement and solder point are here but not the component) altho it's only a 8 phase which is already a step up from Fooler Editions

as if my Roline was not a quality piece ... at 16chf

(joking ... i could care less for mechswitch on a numpad i don't use it at all in the end, only for some soft that need numpad )

Roccat Kiro welcome home

now i can finally retire the last piece of sh!t i had from Razer: the Orochi

waiting on 3 Sharkoon Sharkblade red (no led) and seeking in my 140mm spare to replace all my Corsair AF/SP L :laugh:

(choice between a AF140, Fractal design Silent R2 140, Thermalright TY-147 and NB-BlackSilent Pro 140mm ... )
