Great looking fans there, what are they?

Very rough tubing layout ^^

Fans taped on

CPU

Ram

Onto the motherboard

SEXY!

Really wanted to get a nickel block for the gpu but it wasn't to be this time...

Excuse the delay, uploading is painfully slow especially when that bandwidth could be used for MW3

All tubed up but it leaked

I couldn't seal it up so I cut out the dual

This is the culprit

reiyushin · 28 Nov 2011 at 17:50

Not wanting to delay the build any futher I retubed it to exclude the bottom dual.

I'll add in the dual next time I rebuild

Looks great and the fans especially subbed

Good choice for components and colour scheme

change the other fans to those blue ones aswell plz. Perfect!

reiyushin · 5 Dec 2011 at 18:50

Yea I'll get some more fans soon

Need a few more extensions to sleeve first!

reiyushin · 22 Nov 2012 at 20:10

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....

reiyushin · 22 Nov 2012 at 23:35

No bites so far

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

reiyushin · 23 Nov 2012 at 12:12

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

reiyushin · 23 Nov 2012 at 16:08

Graphics ordered

7950 with EK Nickel Plexi full cover

good times!

reiyushin · 25 Nov 2012 at 10:37

Trouble deciding if I want coloured tubing or a dye this time....

Something Else · 25 Nov 2012 at 13:03

my preference would be a dye and clear tubing, i like seeing the reservoirs in the cases too but thats just me.

reiyushin · 25 Nov 2012 at 13:11

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

MarkJr · 25 Nov 2012 at 17:00

Get they dye, it'll look cooler sloshing around...

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

If it is dye then the mayhems blueberry pastel is winning
