theres something amusing about your camera shots. for some reason they make everything seem massive.

that cooler looks like it belongs in a power station

 

[DiCe!]

If in doubt, get low!

I think its because I'm taking the pictures from a low angle.


Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Nice seeing another shinobi build. Bit daunting putting that cooler together just like my xigmatec Gaia! Had a freezer pro before and it was just a case of sticking it on the mobo!

All of the reviews for it said the mounting hardware was a pain. Hopefully it wont be that bad

Very nice build!

Final Pictures should be up tomorrow (Friday) evening!

It IS a pain! The Rubber anti-vibration grommets were particularly amusing, especially with the lack of room next to my ram slots.

All done now though, hope yours went OK!
Need to sort out better cable management for my Shinobi now.

Yes they were an almighty pain.
(We had to take it off after we realized we couldn't get the mounting nuts on with the fan on the heatsink). We installed the rubber fan mounts when the cooler was outside the case.

As for everything else, it all went well!
It looks awesome.

The cooler in. We took out the RAM and the Graphics Card so we could get to the mounting system.



GPU and RAM back in.





And the it was turned on...













Load temperatures under Prime 95.





The camera doesn't seem to do that great in low light (it's great for £110 though).

Thanks for viewing

Get a slower shutter and shot it again
(Might need stable hands though)

What PSU? The 660ti only gets a couple more fps in games but for about 70 quid more so no thanks
