Hello all,
I would really appreciate some help with my new Sandy-Rig, I have finally taken the plunge and decided to welcome a new rig into this New Year.
Spec of choice:
Corsair 800D
Asus P67 Pro
Intel 2600k
8GB Corsair Vengeance
EVGA 570GTX (single for now but will add another in a month or so)
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music
60GB OCZ Vertex 2 (might be adding a second for RAID)
300GB Velocity Raptor
2x 1.5TB WD Greens
BeQuiet 1200Watt PSU
2x LG Optical Drives
Cooling parts currently owned:
Thermochil PA120.3 RAD
Swiftech MCP655
D-Tek Fuzion (775)
Danger Den Fill port Res
Masses of Fans, Ones to mention, 3X 120mm Panaflow that have been on my RAD, 4 new Thermaltake 1300RPM Silent things and a pile of other branded 120mm.
Ok, my idea is this, I was torn between dual loop, CPU loop1 and GPU1,2 on loop 2, but now I think I will go down the route of a single loop but dual RAD, my PA120.3 mounted on the existing roof space, and a dual RAD in the bottom, will remove the HDD Cage and mod the case, ideally I don’t want loads of clutter in view so I would like as little going on as possible. I was hoping for Pump > CPU > RAD > GPU1 > GPU2 (to be) > RAD > Pump... Having the second RAD in the base now seems a little silly as ill be going from my CPU Past the GPU to RAD 2 and then back again, any ideas here? I could get a single RAD and mount it on the Exhaust fan space?
What do I do about drainage and a res? Are these drive bay res’s any good? Should I stick with a T-Line?
Help me out chaps, Please
Also, I am in serious need of a colour scheme, I don’t want to be using DYE again, so I’ll be going for solid colour tubing (3/8” ID tubing and 1/2” barbs) and will be braiding all of my cables too.
Being a nicely finished black case, I was thinking Orange and White, Orange like the Focus ST Orange (a bit sad but I love my car
)and then I was thinking about keeping things simple, having all my cables, tubes and fan fins white? OR....? Throw some ideas please.
Many Many thanks.
PS, I’ll be keeping a build log for any work I do.
