The first thing i am going to do for this Build is delidding my 4790k and improve the thermal compound on the die with some liquid metal Coolaboratory Liquid Pro )pro since it is supposed to be 2 degrees better :/ )

All this was done with the Der8auer Delidd Die Mate,
Way to easy...

Also Changing Waterblocks -- going from a Bitspower Summit ef to a

I like that you can remove the mesh sections and especially the outlet plug with the power switch. I got some modding ideas for that if I could get my hands on just that part.

Well since i recently aquired myself a Samsung 950pro nvme Drive,
i thought after some playing around i should watercool it,

These nvme drives get pretty hot around 60 degrees while playing mafia 3 for a couple of hours,and i don´t want that kind of heat around my cpu or GPU,

So i got myself a waterblock with some germa evngineering from Aquacomputer.
This block is a beast.

Here a few shots :)

So the cover is all done ,
All this was done with one 6mm thick acrylic,and then primed and painted with some car paint (matt black)

Also made a cover for the Drivebays and by that also make it possible to strap 4 120Gb ssd´s on that (which i already strapped into a raid0 configuration to give me a little faster loading times while loading my steam library :) )

now i have to wait for my gpu block to arrive so i am able to watercoolmy Asus 1080 Strix and get som overclocking done :)
and some more fans together with a Psu .

good job so far ! first time seing a project featuring a cpu deliding + CooLaboratory liquidpro

I'm going to check this der8auer delid cpu mate, i'm curious to see how it works.

edit : deliding made insanely easy :eek:

the blocks hold the cpu in place while the small piece that you see in the begining pushes the IHS upward, by turning the key, until the glue gives

Hey everyone hope you are heaving a great weekend ☺

Trying to do some work today.
With my newly aquired Motosaw
from dremel.
I really love the way you are able to controll you re cut.

I was not quite happy with the psu cover and the writing on there
Since Be quiet is supposed to be two words but on the cover there it looked like one.
so i thought on aðproching this a little bit different.
i will be doing 3d lettera out of 5mm acrylic instead.

here a few pics. hope you like it.

Well since the original design is exactly the same (one whole panel) i think this will be plenty fine,
i have tryed it with the original panel and there is really not alot of temp Difference with the door open or closed,
but i always have that possibility to open the front door since i did install hinges that allow me to do so.

The Be Quiet Dark Base 900 Pro
is all coming along,
still waiting on my cpu block i was hoping to use in this build,
and some more watercooling gear like tubing and fittings,

but in the meanwhile ideas come up and why not use the time and integrate them :)

did a small cover for the top radiator with a small lip on the bottom,so i am able to cast some "indirect" light on to the gpu and my watercooled nvme Drive. )samsung 950 pro,

Used 4mm acrylic and bend the bottom 45 degrees to the front so the LED light does no throw to much glow to the bottom but more to the frontþ

also installed my custom ROG logo on to the motherboardcover.



more to come soon.

Added a "small" detail for that custom made front panel of the Be quiet Dark Base 900 pro

project Black treassure slowly gets to a finishline soon i will be able to add the rest of the components and plan the watercooling loop.

PACKAGETIME :)
So today i recieved one of my missing pieces for this build the
Aqualis reservoir from Aquacomputer.

That borosilicate glass will add a nice quality flavour behind
that tempered glass sidepandel of the case :)

here are a few unboxing shots to share with you the quality :)




















More to come soon...
stay tuned and thank you for checking out my buildlog :)

Hey everyone,today i will be working on some cosmetic aspects of the case,
using some di noc vinyl .
adding some carbon touches to the overall look.,

the frame where the tempered glas sidepanel is located needed some coverup ,due to the versatility of the case there are many different mounting holes that
i did not use and wanted to cover them up ,especially since the tempered glas did not cover them. (but the vinyl looks great i think)

then i made cover for the 6 and pin on the gpu to make it look a bit cleaner also with some carbon fiber touches.
and finally the 16Gb corsair dominator platinum memory got some carbon fiber touches aswell.

stay tuned for more.
