cdawall's SG05-B redux

Why not a 6 series Nvidia? IIRC their "mid level" cards are physically smaller and still perform on par, if not better, then ATi

Don't get me wrong the 7850 is a freaking beast of a card from what i have seen and if you can swing it, fockin' wing it!

FC blocks aren't for me, i prefer die only for some reason. I just wish i didn't get the run around from people regarding stock levels. It's in stock untill you pay then it magically is backordered for 3 weeks

While I am "Die Hard Red Team" I gotta agree with m1dg3t here on the 6 series. 670 and under is a "short board" definitely give you more "room to move" even with a full block on it.

cdawall · Sep 20, 2012

Sounds like I should really look into both more than likely I will get what's cheaper/ better performing/better on power usage. Along with I want a full cover block. The vrms need to be actively cooled since there will be lite to no airflow over the card. Remember this only has a 450w powersupply so I have to watch that as well. Although it had no problems with an overclocked GTX470 and 4.2ghz quad.

m1dg3t · Sep 20, 2012

I thought the 660s were quite power efficient and matched/beat the 7850s performance wise :confused:

If you can swing a 670 by all means, give her! :rockout:

I buy stuff when it's cheaper too so don't feel bad in that regard

I also piece stuff together slowly sometimes. Otherwise i wouldn't be able to do it! I aint rich

cdawall · Sep 21, 2012

This will continue to be a slow build. Hopefully everything comes together well enough.

[H]@RD5TUFF · Sep 24, 2012

Looking good.

I think this is the way I am going on the GPU assuming it isn't sold yet.

cdawall · Oct 3, 2012

Payed for the EVGA card!

m1dg3t · Oct 4, 2012

What happened to the MoBo man? Nice to see you got some new things :toast:

I feel like 4.5ghz quadcore with ht+mini itx caused issues.

I'm ordering my last parts tonight after work. Tubing a couple angle barbs and I'm basically done.

cdawall · Oct 4, 2012

Last parts are ordered.

+DD-GTX470 block BNIB

The CM fan seems to show similar static pressure to the other good radiator fans available and has red LED's to match the rest of the case.

[H]@RD5TUFF · Oct 4, 2012

Coming along nicely. :toast:

cdawall · Oct 5, 2012

Got my fittings from tski today

will be nice to have everything put together.

cdawall · Oct 6, 2012

Bed lined the case to get back the texture the OEM paint had that I sanded off in places looks very close in color up close (better than OEM) vs the front cover.

Pulled the end caps off of the CCFL's and painted them black to hide the craptastic OEM glue job. Don't worry the wiring will be sleeved. Also pulled apart and painted that stupid blue inverter.

Checking how bright the CCFL's were. A little disapointed they were not brighter, but it should be plenty once the LED fan and pump's red LED's are up and going.

(The reservoir is just loosely mounted in the pics it will be hard mounted on both sides before I am finished)

cdawall · Oct 10, 2012

All that is left is the motherboard back from RMA.

cdawall · Oct 10, 2012

ordered a set of these to run as well.

SAMSUNG 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600...

need low profile to clear the waterblock.

mediasorcerer · Oct 10, 2012

You must be feeling quite excited Cdawall, i love it when stuff ordered comes in the mail, like xmas hehe!!
it was seeing all these build folks do here that got me inspired to try myself, havent ventured into water beyond aio,s, but seeing this inspires me to try one day for sure.

I wonder what the case would look like painted/sprayed in army camo, or snow camo etc? just a thought, like a military computer.

Irony · Oct 10, 2012

Wow, looks nice. Now I want to try mini itx lol. I have a friend with that same samsung memory, run like champs. He's gotten them to run happily at 2100, and I've heard of some running even higher.

I did quite enjoy when everything showed up on the same day. As for the camo I do not trust myself painting it and having it come out nice.

It is disturbingly heavy...That is the only downside and that is without water in it yet :twitch:

As for that sammy stuff I have seen as high as 2400-2600mhz out of them so I am hoping these will do well. Good news on ordering them is I could toss the old tridents into my gamer for a total 12gb

Sure, i was just thinking out loud [although if it was done right, could look really great!!],
id be really pleased if when you get it finished or up and running, to see the thermal results in such a small case, i admire the challenge in this build of yours, and often contemplate the same kinda project, nearly went with the asrock z77 m-itx, if id had a bit more $ at the time, maybe next build,
exciting time to be into computing right now!!!! :toast:

cdawall · Oct 15, 2012

Minor update.

Waiting on the motherboard and it will be done...Hurry up GB RMA...

Gigabyte RMA is the worst in the industry IMO.

That's what I have heard. The received the board Thursday so I am hoping they will have a new one shipped back out by Thursday of this week, but we will see. If not I will just call and see whats up...

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Oct 16, 2012

That looking migghtyy fine~~!

cdawall · Oct 20, 2012

Stupid question...

Would it look that much better to have a pair of the same radiators installed?

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/4...ealth_120_Radiator_-_Black.html?tl=g30c95s159

They are reasonably highly priced for a 120mm, along with the really high FPI I do not know if they would perform as good either...I want to order it this weekend if anyone has any ideas somewhat quickly lol.

Board is back and I snagged a rad from sonda5. It is a red one but I plan to tape the fins off and paint the rest black.
