OCUK BUILD LOG -ULTIMA PLESIOSAUR

[Wizzfizz]

The fan on one card is pretty much blocked out by the other, how is that a good thing and not going to shorten the life of the card in the long run? I wouldn't be happy having cards so close together like that.

Can't wait to see the rest chaps. Keep it up!

To Potential Buyers - I can certainly recommend the expertise and service by OCUK when it comes to high end systems as I've purchased something similar in the past myself.

Just get one.

Kind Regards,
Sam

That's a beefy PSU...

Nice build

 

[LukasBB]

whats the water cooling setup?

Motherboard is the Z68X-UD7, the SSD is the Crucial M4 128GB and the watercooling is:

EK Supreme LT CPU Block
Black Ice GT Stealth 240 Radiator
EK Reservoir Combo DCP 2.2
EK DCP 2.2 Pump
Yate Loon D12SL-12 Fans
EK PSC Compression fittings
Tygon Clear Tubing

As stated by Nathan previously, the cards used are reference design so they don't pull much Air in from the fan itself. The card draws cold air in from the front of the case using the intake holes built into the card and then blows this cold air over the vapour changer cooler which is then pushed out of the exhaust ports on the rear of the case. This also prevents hot air being exhausted into the case which in turn causes everything to run hotter.

Looks cracking, but seems a bit pointless having all that fancy cooling stuff for a cpu which can be very comfortably cooled by an air cooler.

If there is any chance Nathan, some performance figures when you're done?

How much for the mug?

How much for the mug?

Id seriously expect to have the mug included with advertising like that...

Just had a thought, OcUK should put a few of the pics from the build up on the shop website under the item sale section so people who aren't forum members can see what they're going to get and how it's made.

It's a nice build, but when your paying that much money i'd expect people would prefer watercooled GPU's, even if its for a tad more. I know i would.

 

[ScratchFive]

nice, I'm liking all the gold, if I had all those awesome components I would want a 700d and a triple rad, and maybe GPU water too if I was feeling rich.

 

[gord]

Hot damn I want that case.

Sure man, we are testing the system right now and will have screenshot and more pics up soon.

Also guys, the mug is not for sale

Rumour has it that we are getting mugs made with the new style logo!

Hope you didn't spill your tea on that lovely computer.

Do the LT's work as well as the nickel ones? I've been holding off on a water build because of the flakey issues recently.

Nice work NathWraith! Your job must suck sometimes

 

[-Mike-]

Nathan - Thanks for your reply. I can never afford such a system but nice to see what you are capable of making.

Also - I want one of those mugs, as do a few other people I'll use it in the office at work........ free advertising (pretty plz!)

New mugs for everyone?
