8pack Supernova - build log!

No backplates for the gpu's ?

Love the build but think the Red fittings don't match with rest of the build. The black all looks spot on but because the Red liquid is very bright the fittings just seem out of place.

Not that it would matter but for me I would rather have black fittings throughout. Personal choice mind.

Build looks good, looking forward to seeing it wired up and OC'd!

Very nice! That loop is screaming out loud for acrylic! Really hope they allow you to go that route soon.

Can you do me a favor and get a pic of you arm wrestling the big guy? Preferably one where you win

Me too! Haha I'll try, I think he's got a bit of catching up to do first though.

If you wanted red BP fittings, you should have give me a shout, got loads!!

Must be why we can't get hold of any lol. Get them in a system!

I didn't realise these were twin loop systems. Is that common in watercooling?

Not too common, no. Not at all necessary, but this build is overkill all over.

Couldn't get hold of any.

I'm not a fan of black/red PCs in general - it's way over done imo, but to be fair, the crappy phone pics don't do the fittings justice - they look much better in person. And when you order one you can pick any colour(s) under the sun.

Amazing, You are a great builder! If you have the time, are you going to be doing a build log for one of the infinity systems?

That sucks

There's already a full build log for a Tesseract, isn't there?

ScottieB did the original build log I believe. More of a before & after though. I've done a build log for a customised Infinity Quasar and have plans for the other builds - gonna do them one at a time though so I don't confuse myself.

Also had requests for a scimitar build log, which unfortunately got built while I was off work last week so I've got to wait again to get a full set of pictures for that one.

& they're improving every day. From what I've seen since starting working here our standards keep getting higher and higher all the time.

Looks really nice, I'd have to redo that curved tubing ha-ha

DJ_Bucho · 17 Jul 2014 at 12:53

Absolutely superb build guys, at the moment I can only dream of owning one of these monster systems. On a side note, it's only when you see a full build like this that you realize why these things costs so much, the amount of time and effort that goes into them, all the fittings, and care that's required to make sure everything lines up, they really are a work of art. Great work guys and I can't wait to see the finished system.

Looking good Tom

Love the 8 Pack systems

Agreed, it looks amazing so far

deFiniLoGy · 20 Jul 2014 at 17:43

Really love the build lol

I'm just wondering who is paying this fortune to get this beast!!

sgavan · 20 Jul 2014 at 20:45

This is one amazing system, when I win the lottery I'm going to get a couple, a main one and one for a htpc

The cable ties have done a good job of straightening it out.

Thanks. Something else you don't see is I travelled 280 miles round trip on friday to fix a leak in an 8pack system - the only leak so far and it was down to a damaged o-ring. I don't think you'll get service like that anywhere else.

Obviously, I can't give out customer's details on here. But this customer bought the system with an Empress chair and 3 144Hz monitors!! :eek:

That's some HTPC lol!

Thats amazing service, stop tempting me!!

Woah, epic system all in! Are they the 1440p screens?

Just 1080p. I say just, it's still 5760x1080!

Haven't posted any pictures for a few days, still working on the system. 8pack has been overclocking/benchmarking the system for a few days now and we're still trying to get more from the system.

Here's an action shot:

Obviously, I'm not gonna show you pictures of the overclocked settings.

And the results of todays session..

That's over 1200W. :eek:

cwgk91 · 22 Jul 2014 at 20:38

Is that while benchmarking at full whack??

This PC needs 1.21 kilowatts to make the time jump! When 8Pack gets it up to 4.8GHz, you're going to see some serious ****.

that's quite a bit of juice

Just stumbled across this awesome build nice work!
