Hi all
I have worked my a**e off over the last year, missing out on social occasions etc. for which my company rewarded me with a decent bonus for once, yippee!!
So I decided to treat myself to a brand new system and take the plunge with watercooling. I've done numerous air builds over the last 10 years or so with varying levels of success on performance & noise and fancied a new challenge.
Here's what will be making up my new system:
Corsair Obsidian 800D Case
Corsair RM Series RM 1000 '80+ Gold' 1000W PSU
6x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1850 RPM Fans
OcUK Extreme Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.6GHz+ Extreme Overclocked Bundle
Options for above:
TeamGroup Vulcan RED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit
XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock
Asus Z87 MAXIMUS VI FORMULA Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
HIS HD 7950 IceQ TURBO
EKWB FC-7950 Nickel Plexi Full Cover Waterblock
Plextor M5 Pro 256GB Extreme Series Solid State Drive - (PX-256M5P)
XSPC D5 Dual Bay Reservoir/Pump Combo V2
XSPC EX360 Crossflow Radiator
XSPC EX240 120mm Radiator - Black
Mayhems X1 UV Red Premixed Watercooling Fluid 1L
Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 13/10 - Clear
Aqua Computer Ball Valve Female Thread G 1/4 without Fittings
Mayhems Fine Silver Kill Coil
XSPC Fittings (Black Chrome)
Lamptron FC-5 v3 Fan Controller
Red LEDs 3v
All the kit is being delivered over the next couple of weeks so I'll add photos of all the shiny new kit when it arrives and then update as I progress through the build.
Looking forward to any advice/criticism on the build as I plod along.
Can't wait!!
