OMG UPDATE - 18/12/13 - Parts have arrived follow thread for more pictures.

why are you buying custom WC card and EK waterblock too?

also that memory is too expensive for my liking. I'd just get 2400MHz for like 1/3 of the price.

Thats how it is listed in the basket bud, the card plus WB costs £589 together but in the basket its split.

Looks like its going to be sick. Glad I'm not building it

Can't wait to see some pics!

Looking forward to it, will be amazing.

glad im not building it as well

Wait holdon a minute why are you guys glad your not building it

Is there an inside joke haha?

I'm with you, but not sure those LEDs + bit of extra frequency would be worth paying £90 extra

im at the golden key on woodbridge road...sidegate lane.

Hope all goes well bud

Looks like it's going to be a lovely build, but I always think one GPU on watercooled rigs looks a bit lonely.

The Overseer has put one more 290x On hold in the coming months


Quick question guys - Whats the best way to flush my radiators? I have no distilled water either.. any idea? I know I can use tap water and vinegar or soap. Or I can use just tap water but I was wondering whats the best method overall using home stuff.

Thanks for any help

Ah that's good, it'll look pretty awesome with two in there.

Damnit guys , the ocuk gods held my order back because one fitting was out of stock lol.. so its all going to arrive Monday.

I will update you all then!

If i were you i'd test all the components beforehand, don't wanna put all that together and figure out theres a fault

but looks like a beast in the making, good luck

I thought it would come with 1 piece missing instead
