I agree ^^^^^ its been a long time coming but obviously you can tell he has spent the time well, planning and sourcing the correct bits and bobs.

Looks awesome mate....its such a shame that all GPUs have the power connector on the top though. It would be much better if you could get them on the bottom corner, so the cables are right out of the way instead of having to come up the side of your card.
Jasus!!!
Now that's what I call feed back
Thank you
The block just looked way to much stock for my taste lol and the performance of the loop has exceeded expectation for sure.
I'll take that as a compliment
Thank you once again.
Thank you much appreciated
Cheers fella, not to much longer to wait with luck
Now there's a familiar name
Thanks again Nick appreciated mate
Agreed
But funny you should mention that...

Thank you much appreciated
This has to be one of the cleanest, most tidy builds I've ever seen. Absolutely superb work. I can't wait to see the final photo's of the Power Supply fitted and it all up ad running

Quick update...
I'm now about 70% done on the last of the wiring in and cable routing but that thing called lack of available time is once again conspiring against me
This is my take on cable ties to tidy up the PCI-Express cables
I wanted to create a look to tie in (pardon the pun) with the brushed stainless.

If I knew how to I would probably try to braid the PSU cables in mine in black in one lump and just use the cable management hole nearest the GPU (which I have anyways but with the standard horrible yellow/brown/black cables)
GPU power cables would be much better on the bottom edge of all cards imho.
It's strange (and quite nice) that your GPU power sockets are laid out one under the other. Not seen that before.
At least the hols you have used should be nicely covered by the HDD cage
edit... hang on a minute.... I might need to re-read the thread lol ..Your PSU uses that space... where are your HDDs? Have I missed an update?
Cheers,

Patience is a virtue so I'm told G
Dont panic fella, this should explain everything...
Ok so I've managed to get the final fix wiring and cable routing completed
(can I just say if you enjoy this part of a PC build process you are in need of psychological help and should please feel free to dial 999 now lol)
And my ever reliable Kingston Hyper X 3K 240Gb SSD mouted.
The Kingston will be replaced by a Samsung Evo in the near future and supplemented by a Seagate Hybrid.
Your thinking 2D again mate
Try 3M Scotch Clear Mounting Tape #4010
Haha! Love it

have you thought about getting another 240 for the roof?
I conducted the initial tests back in post #190
With my 2600K running at a nice sedate 4.6GHz I ran 7 threads on Prime95 and Heaven simultaneously for an hour straight, the hottest core on the 2600K never exceeded 75°C and the 680 never exceeded 42°C, the ambient room temperture at the time of testing was 23°C.
There is no need for a second rad
Awesome stuff mate, really really like this build bud
Did you manage to source a windowed side panel?
Cheers,
G
Cheers G, very much appreciated mate
Sadly no, despite Nanoxia having developed and made samples of side panels for the DS1 to my knowledge they have never put them into production...
Ok with it being Sunday and me being bored...
I decided to have a little fun
Enter the new ROG RealBench V1.1 Benchmarking Suite, crank up the overclock to 5.1GHz and voilà.
I wanted to put the cooling loop efficiency to the test once again and to put it into perspective; were it a child it would have just stood there with a huge grin on it's face as if to say is that all you've got lol
Very very pleased
Edit - To put the above score into perspective, a guy running an i7 3930K @ 5.0GHz on an Asus Rampage IV Extreme with 16GB Corsair Vengance 1600mhz only scored 743 overall.
My own score is only 12 points behind

I contacted them in June about this and they told me it would be available in a few weeks. I have contacted them again now for an update and will let you know what they say

stunning mate good work
Thank you
It could have been a lot cleaner if manufacturers would move the power supply sockets for GPU's to the bottom corner of the PCB's (so they are pretty much at motherboard level).
That's my only critique, other than that I'm really pleased with the end result
Very much appreciated thank you
Cheers for chasing that up G
However dialogue with out substance springs to mind...
Ok time to see what I can get from the GPU
The stock NVidia GTX 680 had a Core Clock of 1006MHz and a Memory Clock of 1502 MHz.
My own EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature (factory overclocked) has a Core Clock of 1085MHz and a Memory Clock of 1552Mhz.
Hmmmmm time to have a play
This translates to -
Core Clock further increased from 1085MHz to 1145MHz Boosting to 1210 MHz
Memory Clock increased from 1552MHz to 1652MHz (6208HMz to 6608MHz effective)
Not bad for 30 minutes messing about
