Hi,
I'm new to the forums and have just finished building my first ever PC. The rig is built mainly for the purpose of gaming. Most of it was pretty easy assemble, there were afew hiccups along the way like squeezing the res in next to the GPU and the heatsink wasn't sat properly on the CPU so I was getting Idle temps of 50-52c, now after reseating it and getting the last air bubbles out of the loop I am idling at 35c.
Specs:
Gigabyte z87z-OC
Intel i5 4670k
G.skill Ares Ram 2x4gb 2133mHz
Corsair Force 3 SSD 60gb (system)
Seagate barracuda 2tb (storage)
Asus Radeon 7970 Matrix Platinum
Corsair TX650w
TP Link Wireless PCI-E Card
Asus 24x DVD Rewriter
Watercooling:
XSPC Raystorm Block
XSPC AX120 Radiator
XSPC Photon 170 res
EK 2.2 Pump
XSPC Black Chrome Compression fittings
Mayhems Pastel's Gigabyte Orange
Bitspower mini valve & stubby barb for drain port
1/2" - 3/4" XSPC Clear Tubing.
Anyway heres some pics:
Next upgrades will be a more powerful pump, 256gb ssd for Steam.
Thanks for looking
