Bitfenix Prodigy Jack O' Lantern Inspired Build

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd share the first pics of my recently completed build.

This is my first major build since Overclocked Orange, which some of you may remember lol.

It's basically the 'Jack O' Lantern mod', however, with some improvements:

Changes & Spec:

Added Swiftech heat sink & fan to MCP35X pump
1x XSPC DDC-Res
Replaced blue front bezel/mesh with matt black
Modded 5 1/4" drive bay to take 750GB WD Scorpio Black HDD along with Sony Optiarc BD Re-writer
i7 3770K (speed TBA)
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe mobo
Kingston 16GB DDR3 2133MHz Predator XMP Memory
2x Samsung 256GB 840 Pro SSD (RAID 0)
Nvidia GTX 680
Corsair HX650 Pro PSU
1x EK 140 radiator
1x Silverstone 180mm blue-LED fan
1x Magicool 180mm radiator
1x EK-Supremacy nickel/acetal block
1x EK-680 block - nickel/acetal
1x EK-680 backplate
1x MNPCTech 280 radgrill
2x BitFenix 140mm blue fans
Primochill PRO-LRT 7/16" hose
All Bitspower black fittings
All Bitfenix braided cables
Coolant = 3M Fluorinert FC77 (100% non-conductive)... does not discolor, nor congeal over time and performs better than water.

So far so good. Rig looks lovely and is very quiet running. I did have to install a Fan Mate 2 though to turn down the 2x 140mm Bitfenix fans in the roof.

Just finishing off installing all the software now before overclocking commences.

would love to see some more pics of this.

Alos how's the magicool rad? i was wondering if you could fit one of these with a 200mm spectre pro in front of it?

You can fit a 200mm rad, however, it will make access to power/reset/USB 3 ports very difficult. Will upload some more pics.

Very well done. Very tight spaces lol

That looks really, really nice...

I wonder what temps will be like after clocking it, is it cooling efficiently now?

28°C idle, 58°C load. Preliminary OC = 4.5Ghz at 32°C idle, 64°C load. A little warm, however, GTX 680 is on same loop.

Wow that's pretty good. My loop with a 3570k @ 4.5Ghz idles at 37c and tops out at 60c on prime with a 670, this is with a XSPC EX360 rad. I'm not sure why it idles so high as voltage is at 1.170v in a Switch 810 case

The 670 idles at 29c and tops out at 45c which is pretty good. I really love the build and would love to do a wc build in that case one day

They seem good temps, my oc 3770k was doing that kind of temps at 4.4-4.6. with two 680's in the loop.

Good stuff

Tag, this is awesome... Tempted to go down to MATX after always having ATX PCs.

GiraffePencils · 5 Jun 2014 at 11:47

Wow, You dragged this out the depths

Good build though, nice front panel
