Hello,

Just wanted to get my first build log out there.
This is well overdue.

Build color scheme will be mainly Black Green and Chrome.

I was originally going to make my first build log around the x58 system with xeon processor, but having to control the NB temps was slightly annoying.
Anyways! onto the parts.

Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 Rev 1.0 (Arrived)



CPU: Intel i5 3570k Delid (already here an delidded)







Monitor: Philips BDM4065UC 40" UHD (4K) Monitor
Philips BDM4065UC 40" UHD (4K) Monitor


Case: Coolermaster HAF XB EVO
Coolermaster HAF XB EVO



Some pics of the premod case.






GPU Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Rev 1.1 SLI ( already got them)
Original Appearance pre mod.




PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 850watt (already here)
I coated the covers in a rubbery liquid latex to make them look kind of like snake skin. Given the name, I'd say it fits well.




Ram: Kingston Hyperx 2400 MHZ 8gb (owned later to be 16gb)
Pic of the Ram, Kingston HyperX Beast 2400mhz
Picked this particular set for the sharp top of the heatsinks, they will occupy the Black slots on the MB.


CURRENT COOLING TO BE REPLACED: Corsair H80i (owned)
SSD: Crucial MX100 240GB (owned)
SSD: Kingston V100 64gb (owned)
HDD: some crappy 250gb HDD more details later (owned)
DVD: Asus (owned)


PWM Fans: 2x 140mm Arctic cooling
Case fans: 2x 140mm Scythe Glide Stream 1600rpm

I'll be replacing the case, and updating the cooling to custom waterloop over time.

Nope not at all, if you look at the 3rd picture where the CPU is in the Vice, you can see I've put it in on an angle.
1 end on the IHS, one end on the chip, then you just tighten till it pops off. doesn't warp or risk breaking anything since it's pushing the ihs across the PCB.
Least risky way of delidding and quickest imo, I didn't like the idea of taking a razor or Hammer to my chip.

Hahahah I know how you feel.


I'm having a bit of an issue deciding what case to go with still on this build.
I'm thinking about going with a Corsair Carbide Cube or a COOLERMASTER - CABINET HAF XB EVO

I can't decide.

I want a fat, cubey case. So any suggestions would be apreciated.
Need room for a custom water loop.

It would definatly be the right choice for me as well if I had that sort of extra cash ^_^

So far I'm liking the Corsair Carbide CUBE, and the Coolermaster Haf XB EVO.
Both 100€
Haf XB EVO is my current pick i think, mainly because of how the motherboard lays horizontally. it's interesting. and I dont have to flip my case everytime I need to mess with something.

I'm thinking about going with a Corsair Carbide Cube or a COOLERMASTER - CABINET HAF XB EVO

I can't decide.

I want a fat, cubey case. So any suggestions would be apreciated.
Need room for a custom water loop.
Have a look at the Thermaltake V21
I was considering it for my next build.
Admittedly it only fits up to m-ATX but it has room for two 240 radiators and custom cooling.
