benching...that sounds addictive

it's no where near ready yet. Waiting for ram and then will move onto flashing the bios, patching the os and then maybe clocking her a little.

Built this rig to use day to day... Might run a few tests, just to prove the oc's metal

working on tidying cables a bit better as i wasn't entirely happy. May have some ram on route today too...

Will take a few quick ones using this phone if the ram turns up.

ta da, got some RAM sorted today and after swinging some favours here she is

Unfortunately RAM not from OcUk, they had / have 1 set showing in stock but when I rang thurs but I was told it had just been sold by the nice lady.

capriboy1978 · 27 Sep 2009 at 20:25

well it's alive and running nicely at stock....

Very nice, also using the reaper ram here, certainly does look the biz.

i really wanted the ballistix in red, unfortunately c@@@@@l are a pos and despite claiming the contrary when i ordered had no satock of any colour and kept putting the delivery date back and back.

Way back when I specced this system I picked this reaper but had to change my mind due to the mobo layout. Thanks to the H50 i've been able to fall back to my original plan. Got to get my head round setting the speed and timings yet, too used to xmp profiles..

mr dbl post strikes again

Here are the final pictures of my build until monitor / keyb / custom desk arrives.

Internal shot showing push pull intake config of h50 mounted into new roof blow hole:

all internal cables now braided, pita but worth it - recommeded to anyone - if can do it so can you-

new blow hole:

Quick leak test tonight as the h50 took a hammering and then back to using it on an ancient 15" crt...
