Blacker and Bluer! 800D

Yea they're fine for me as well. I did go into the actual picture and use that image source.
More pictures inc, just takes ages on my internet :D
 
Onto draining the loop:

Attempt 1 failed miserably :D No way for air to get in to let the water out....on to attempt 2!

A much less subtle approach but highly sucessful :) The water came out looking as clean as it went in ^^

Adding more and more to my rig, this has been the most fun project I have ever done and I'm very very happy to be adding more to it :)

Current specs
  • 2500k @4.5Ghz
  • 8Gb Ram
  • HDD Storage - Lots
  • SSD Storage - None :(
  • 480 GTX
  • 1000w OCZ PSU
  • 800D

The CPU and Graphics are watercooled and last time I made the build I tried to get a dual and a triple rad in but the fitting on the dual leaked so I just took it out.

This time round I want to:
  • Push the CPU more - Had it at 5Ghz but dialed it back because I didn't need that power.
  • Get the dual rad in - More cooling is cool :)
  • Upgrade the GFX to a 7950 or 6990 to run eyefinity :)
  • Sleeve the remaining cables or get extensions
  • MAYBE Spraypaint a logo on the case - lots of test runs will be done!
  • Add in a little more ambient lighting - UV maybe to setoff the tubing and a fan mod I have.
  • Chance out the fan on my psu as it's the loudest part of my system

Hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff from the members market, the more I can get off there the better I can make this build :) stay tuned :)
 
Stalking the MM, ebay, other forums, deals sites and bugging 5UB on the customer services page...

This level of crazy can only mean one thing....
 
No bites so far :p


That last time I went for the dual rad in the bottom section of the case it left the pipe close to kinked so I'm looking at cutting out a bit at the bottom to make it fit nicer :)
 
Right I think eyefinity is on hold for the time being! The rest is a go, just torturing 5UB about waterblocks now.

The actual build won't be happening until after Christmas but there's plenty of prep and planing to be done :)
 
If I had the money this time round I'd get a separate pump and res but for now my trusty XSPC X20 750 will hold down the fort :)

I know it's in no way high end but this thing hasn't skipped a beat for me yet :)

Who knows, I could just use some of my car funds....oh this is a slippery slope XD
 
You dye fanatics!

I'm not convinced, will be having a look at other logs to help decide.

Dye stains, breaks up, can clog and needs more frequent changing but it does look good :D

If it is dye then the mayhems blueberry pastel is winning :)
