lol, a case mod with no pics...

what happened there Dom???
 
cant load 16 at once WTF got one up lol :p
 
I wanna see more! I've been waiting to see this build for a while now!

Hows that 1950 treatin ya? I just started tuning mine again. Sticking strictly to using BIOS for 3D settings tho..so I'm voltage limited which does really suck...but I'm up to 730/1080...wish this DDR4 would go faster, but it flakes out on me much higher than this. I have vGPU set at 1.50v for 3d in BIOS, and so far so good. ATI Tool doesn't like it, but I ran 3dm 06 3D tests only all night to verify stability...found no issues...and I've been playin CoD4 for the last 2 weeks w/o issue...now I'm thinking of trying to match your 742 core speed :D.
 
I love that case, though Im wanting that 250 dollar Cosmos S case. How much did this one run ya Dom?

the thing that helps the Mem on my is the VDDCI Mem at stock volts the only thing I moved where the VGPU and VDDCI to the Max it well bench higher but it has to be colder

150 online at compusa, had stoped at compusa just to look around and they had it on sale but where out of stock so went home and ordered it was the last day :D

I wish the S was all dark blk but im happy with mine
 
If I could edit VDDCI in RaBiT I would go for it...but sadly due to the fact that the newer PunkBuster crashes my games online when using ATI Tool...I'm stuck with just going the BIOS route...for now. I want to tune the timings on the card, but just don't have the cahonas to do so yet...I know this GDDR4 has more oomph in it...I mean your DDR3 isn't that far behind me!

I'm thinking of putting the S1 Ram coolers and VRM cooler on...when I got the S1 I just put the GPU main heatsink on and left the OE memory (which I still may leave on...it's like the 38xx style...but it does touch the cooler) and OE VRM coolers on...But the OC VRM cooler isn't meant for this type of airflow...so I may swap it as my VRM does get pretty toasty...hits upper 80C-lower 90c...

Mine is a lot more stable with the new cooler it seems, but the fuzzy cube will cause a driver reset if ran for a few hours at my current settings, where gaming/3dmarks can run forever w/o issue...

Nice work on the case w/updated pics...I'll be voting in a few minutes! :D

:toast:
 
The water lines are a little "slacky", but what the hell do I know about water cooling anyway... 9/10 :D Looks freakin awesome!
 
Thanks Dom. I think they may still have some for sale. I believe the store near me is still open. Effmaster, can you confirm this?

well the fur gets it the hotest that ive seen but look at the pics I have a 80mm fan on the VRM cooler ;)
 
Nice job on the water and cables, and I also love that case. 9/10

but I dont think they have any in stock the one here is almost gone but its been like 2wks, from the last time I went

Yeah...well I've the the turbo module which is the 2 low profile 80mm fans, I think I'm gonna have to do a reseat and put the VRM cooler on...what's the worst that can happen? It's meant for the airflow this thing provides, so it should dissapate a little bit better hopefully hehe. What temps do your VRM's get to? (I gotta use Everest to see mine...ATI Tool doesn't show it, at least the version I use .26).

BTW, 9/10...think I was the first to vote...kept refreshing the page waiting for the time to count down! Again excellent job man!

9\10 Looks freaking great man. Nice job. Ever thought about putting in a side window to show off those guts?
 
yeah I dont know if ours does either or if its still open (havent been down there in a few weeks to check). CompUSA's online store (systemax/tigerdirect) sucks apples bad on what they offer. I cant stand it now and they dont even offer the Cosmos at all...
 
WTF lol I got a better score on my old case :(

Hope this helps. Perfect 10 from me. "Frkn Beautiful". I love the lighting No freaky U.V. lights. I love the way you got it all backlit. Definatly get a window I think Perfomance has them. You can't hide all that work. I was thinking of picking up this case. Is it easy to work in?

Undrestand. I lost the first wife over my mildly compulsive comp. addiction. But, on the plus side I get treated like a v.i.p at Newegg. They give me super exclusive deals, never once paid for rma shipping, and I can rma anything I want even if it is a no refund item or out of warranty. Not to bad I guess. All it cost me was my beautiful wife and about $22,000.00. Gotta find some priorities I guess. Honestly, the 10 was well earned.
