[Project Log] "Parvum|Beast" - Semi Sponsored Build

Genius! Looks good too. You might end up having to take out the anti-cyclone EK logo if the new fluid isn't opaque. Looks a bit odd peering through the holes otherwise....although in the flesh it might not be noticeable.

If you're near the Watford area, you're welcome to borrow a Dremel. I've got two now as one of mine refused to let go of the Tungsten Carbide bit I was using on the back of a case to widen the res mounting holes. Must be something about Dremels and res's!

Re-Sleeving the fans, and extra sleeving arrived

So we all know how badly case fans are sleeved from the factory ! .. and if there's anything that kicks off my OCD its the red,yellow,black wires on the fan,
when everything else is sleeved, and also the poorly made heatshrinks!
SO obviously i HAD to redo the sleeving of them.
I cut away some of the cable "holders" (the thing on the fan that holds the wires in place and helps route the cables)
so that the new sleeving would have enough room to be placed nicely. Also i used superglue to hold the sleeving in place on the wires
before shrinking the heatshrink..
Also that silver sticker had to go, and instead i used some matt black vinyl sticker !

AND Mainframecustom.com sent me some extra sleeving. the LC Teleios Fusion – Black/Blue, and the LC Teleios Fusion – Blue/Navy Blue
which i am sure will look much better in the Beast then the lighter blue colored sleeving would

Now here's some pics!

REMEMBER kids, DO YOUR PINOUTS <3

The New sleeving from mainframecustom.com

I was thinking about getting the heatshrink to cover most of the fan connector, because it simply looks better,
but maybe i will do it later and buy some sata shrink for it

Enjoy!

Some More Sleeving, 24pin, 2 x 8pin and more

I Love Sleeving !!!

So guys, i just finished the 24pin, 2 x 8pin pcie's some cathodes, the powerbutton and some more ..
I had a a vote on my facebook page "BeckModZ - Liquid Designs" and other facebook groups, about the color combination for the 24pin,
i actually started out with 33 different versions of it.. sick! but narrowed it down to 4 samples that people voted on.
So the combination that won was my favorite too, but i changed out the middle wires for some black ones instead,
there was a lot of blue on the 24 pin originally, and i changed it with some more black sleeving instead, since there's allready so much blue goin on in the build.

Anyways, here's some shots of the connectors and stuff.
This post will be updated later on when i get the rest of the sleeving done.
Will also make a image series or video turorial on sleeving, but will do that when the whole build has finished.

Hope you like it peepz..
I really enjoy sleeving, and this LC Teleios sleeving looks so amazing, and is so easy to work with when going
heatchrinkless style!.. the weaving just looks so beautifull!!..
ooh btw, i also leak tested and filled the beast with liquid.. images will follow sooooon.

Finished Filling The Loop!!!

UPDATEEEEEEE!!! .. I finally finished the leaktesting, and the loop is filled up and complete!
I absolutely LOVE the color of the EKWB Ekoolant UV Blue !!! .. Loops amazing, espicially under the illumination of the led strips
unfortunally one of the 2x45 degree fittings from GPU to Mosfett block has a minor leak, once every 3 hours it has gathered a tiny drop of fluid ..
So thinking that maybe i need to change the O-ring, and while i'm at it, i might just remove it and maybe do something like
45 degree fitting - tubing - 45 degree fitting, instead, to show a little more tubing in that area..
but will deal with that tomorrow morning..

For now, here's some images of the loop with the iv blue liquid.. Enjoy!

So what's left to do? Still need to figure out something neat with the SSD drives,
also still need to do the 8pin cpu sleeving and cable management.
And last but not least i need to install the lighting..
BUT the next 2 weeks i have a lot of work to do, and no time what so ever to finish the build..
So unfortunally you guys will have to wait 2 weeks for the final images and updates.. <3

Amazing! I love builds with the block sitting like that! Fantastic work.

ValiantUK91 · 19 Mar 2015 at 16:50

stunning looking build

andiuk007 · 19 Mar 2015 at 18:42

Good work, stunning looking build!

Cenedd · 20 Mar 2015 at 16:47

Took me a while but it suddenly clicked that the greeny-yellow thing under the pump is an LCD display for a coolant temp probe....right?

What's the second drain point to the right of the pump? Couldn't work that one out.

Quite like the snake'd connection from mosfet to GPU. The wobbliness of it sort of continues the wobbly channel through the mosfet block....obviously swap for a non-leaky one though!

Looks good to me. As you say, just needs the lighting so you can see the work that you put in on that res!

UPDATEEEEEEEE

Just got home from 14 days with 200 hours work !!!..
so finally have time to finish this little Beast! ..
I just finished the rest of the sleeving, and the cable routing

..
Only thing left do to is installing the led strips,
and then FINAL IMAGES !!

Hopefully i will get the rest of the work done by thursday, so that i can use the weekend to do the editing of
the final images, and the video tutorials

Stay Tuned Guys - Final images will follow very soon !

Cable routing, res change and M logo on GPU

Okay, so after 14 days with 200 hours of work, i finally had the time to work on the beast again!
I started doing the cable routing, and have done all the rest of the sleeving i needed to finish..
Still a long way to go with the cable routing tho, as i am awaiting new sata sleeving, hopefully be here monday !

I also finally got the last piece from parvum, that was originally going to be the SSD housing,
but something went terribly wrong with the meassurements(prolly my side), so couldnt use it at all :/
So instead i took the Monster logo inlay in blue acrylic, and put in on top op the Gpu instead,
left the black vinyl beneth to give it a "drop shadow" like effect

And i made some changes to the reservoir sleeve, had to cut off some of the black binyl on the back, to give it the effect i was looking for.
I took a picture of it so you can see what i mean.. Pretty sure when i am done with installing the lighting in the case,
then it's going to look awesome!..

Anyways here's some images, while i work on installing the lighting,
also i am awaiting new uv leds, to arrive monday as well, so final images will be done mid next week..
Same with the Sleeving and EK block polishing guide videoes

Hope you like it so far, really in love with the LC Teleios sleeving!. looks so good in this build!.

Done Routing cables, Trying out blue Mesh

So i just finished the cable routing ! im pretty happy with the result when you think of how little room there actually was for this,
cause of the size of the AX1200i ..
Also, i have been trying to figure out what to do for rad covers to be shown on the outside..
And i found some mesh laing around, spray painted it blue, and tried to put it loose on top of the rads..
Actually think it's lokking kindda cool, color matches okay too

now to find a more permanent solution with it

What do you think guys ? looks pretty good right ?

Also still trying to figure out what do do with the PSU to make it blend in the black/blue theme..

Going to install lighting very soon, so i think next images will be final images !!!!! : D

!!!! - FINAL SHOTS - !!!!

IT'S DONE !! The Parvum|Beast is finally finished...
Sorry it took me so long to finish, but with 100 hour work weeks on my regular job, it got kindda hard to find the time to work on the Beast..
BUT time to share the final images with you guys..
I am very happy with this build, put a lot of attention to details into this one, and also a lot of blood and tears ! ..

I will make the sleeving video, EK Frosted Block polishing video, and some other stuff tomorrow, and hopefully get it out to you guys before thursday..

Thanks for all of you who have followed this build,
