Build 5 TJ07

Pgreenwo · 18 Oct 2012 at 23:03

Always wanted to do a TJ07. Now slightly old hat I guess but as my trusty 2600k build needs a new home thought I would finally do a TJ07.
Fresh back from powdercoating and back together with those screws and rivets Nils lovingly collects

God I love that case... almost pitched a tent

Lol

Just got the coldzero mobo tray extension & lightbox fitted. Really pleased with the light the box gives off.

Thanks you OCUK - the only EK non CSQ ram block I could find. Managed to grab it before the shop move

Pgreenwo · 19 Oct 2012 at 12:43

Thanks all. I think Ricardo only supplies direct. The back plate is a real work of art and a great idea.

I didn't think you'd do better then your 800D build, but it looks like you are!!

Memory under water too

With the rads under deck on the tj07 I think the ram being cooled fills the void visually and I've been searching high and low for the old style Nickle block.

Total boobs on a nun (useless) for performance though!!

Pgreenwo · 19 Oct 2012 at 19:36

And those little bits that the wife must never know the cost of....

Pgreenwo · 19 Oct 2012 at 20:04

About 300 quid with the few still on the components not in pic. I had some from my 800d build spent another few quid. I just love the quality of them.

Quick Q for all. I'm thinking of just leaving the rx480 for cooling. With heavy oc on 2x gtx680s a 2600k and a ram block do you think it's worth putting another rad down there too? Can't decide I have some kicking around, ex120, rx120 and an ex240

Pgreenwo · 19 Oct 2012 at 22:26

blocks on and Motherboard plate done. just need to take off the nasty mobo stickers. Why do they do that!

Installed

Pgreenwo · 20 Oct 2012 at 10:42

The fittings and tube are 7/16 I feel 1/2" tube takes over the visual IMO.

I have an ax1200 psu so I may go with the rx120 down there too. When I took the 800d apart, I ran with a 360/120 and the temps didnt budge bit I guess if there's room - use it.

How come your limited with the ram blocks PGI?

slow progress

Pgreenwo · 21 Oct 2012 at 00:00

Very simple to make if you know a laser cutter. This one is bought as I could not get the light to balance on my DIY one. Easy to buy and cost effective

Pgreenwo · 21 Oct 2012 at 22:00

Step drill done. Pleased with today's job

Pgreenwo · 21 Oct 2012 at 22:20

First tube run. Not sure about the GPU exit to the rad. I hate the GTX680 power supply layout.

Pgreenwo · 21 Oct 2012 at 23:59

Kinky!!! god damn. Who ever designed the Raystorm did not speak to the GTX Razor guy!

Pgreenwo · 22 Oct 2012 at 17:44

Heat gun time. I made the drive bay backs today. Just waiting for a few Bitspower black bulk fittings to go through to the bay res.

Pgreenwo · 23 Oct 2012 at 01:02

A few tweaks and finishing up

Behind the scenes

Cabled up

Going to put a few LED's in the roof to balance it out. Anyone know what the Bitfenix 6LED lights are like. I want a warm white glow

Pgreenwo · 23 Oct 2012 at 17:58

Got the look I wanted with the light

Pgreenwo · 23 Oct 2012 at 20:19

Done....For now

Looks really nice. which coolant is it?

Thanks. It's the aqua computer dp red. No uv which I prefer

Pgreenwo · 24 Oct 2012 at 00:10

The MB tray is custom made for my MB on 8mm think matt perspex.
The Sata, 24pin & Pcie were cut into an extension plate.

Here is the back. Please excuse the Iphone pic.
