I am attending Iseries Multiplay event with OCUK this year and thought with the arrival of the excellent looking Parvum Water cooling MATX case I would build myself a small rig to take with me. This build is not one of my super exclusive high end builds just a 24/7 rig for me to use whilst away from home.

Here are the specs:
3770K
Maximus v gene
Corsair Dominators 8gb 2133mhz Hynix
Corsair 860 AXI PSU
7990

Watercooling
DDC Plus Pump.
Bitspower Res Top.
2 x XSPC 240 Rads
1 X XSPC 360 Rad
6 x Sythe GT 1850 fans @ 7v (for silence)
Bitspower and EK fittings.
EK Supremecy
EK MB Block
EK Dominator RAM block
EK 7970 Block and Backplate.
Mayhems Pastel Red Coolant
Bitfenix Braided Cables.

Craming all this hardware into a MATX was not gonna be easy!!! Here are the pics of the build.

The Case:



Most of the Bits!!!





Big Traps!!!!



Board blocked up and some pipe work in place.



Board mounted in the case with tge front Rad and Fans!!



Top Rad in place and some tubing!!!





I/O Shield.



Bottom rad in but the graphics is gonna be tight!!!! Look at the Bi's on that system builder!!





Too Tight!!! bottom rad out graphics in!!! Bottom Rad back in with fans now mounted on top pushing out.



Tubing Complete and filling the loop. With full cable management in started.



Bleeding the loop.



Completed system with side off. Decided to put a white light strip behind the 8 logo so it shows up nicely with the sides in place.



More....... with sides on!!!





I really enjoyed building this system. Looks really great given the size constraints!!! This case is excellent for the MATX watercooling build but it was still a challenge cramming all the hardware in. And finally the Overclock. Nothing too extravagent just 24/7 stability (5ghz ;))

Yeah I know!!! Overclocking 24/7 Stable 5ghz, RAM 2133mhz Tuned very tight subs, Graphics stock volts for cool operation with the sliders on AB maxed out at 1100, 1575. Done!!!

Stability



2D Benches at 24/7 clocks



3D Benches at 24/7 Clocks





 
This was pure luck. I only tested on LN2 and it did 6.4-6.5 3D stable with high mem so you know it will be a good CPU on air/water.

Now I work at OCUK I can bin OEM chips yes to get the better ones for my future 8 Pack Designed PC range.
 
This is not how it works at all Wolvers. I can only test OEM parts that are put a side for system builds. Retails are not tested at all and only a small percentage of OEM are. These OEM are not website stock but SI.

If I am to build a range of hero products that no other retailer can match then I must bin CPU its the only way to ensure quality and credibility of 8 Pack systems.

The chip in this build used my own CPU I bought from OCUK a while ago before I worked here. It had never been on anything but cascade and above cooling before but I figured it would work well on Water with 6.75ghz super pi and 6.5 3D sub zero stability.
 
The whole range is NDA mate so I cant say. The full range is due relatively soon though and our marketing will begin leaking info to the media soon.

Expect amazing looks, bespoke cooling and case, absolute maximum overclocks on all components and tuning for efficiency for starters!!
