Thanks, i think im nearly done with this rig. Might change the waterblocks at some point for some lower temps.
Can't think of anything else that i could do to this.
ASUS Z77 Maximus GENE
Another huge update coming! this is all about the aesthetics and not to forget the overclocking!
With my current board im limited to 4.5ghz and stock ram at 1600mhz so with a little help im hoping i can top the 4.7-4.8ghz marker and rock up my ram to 2000mhz!
Pictures will come tomorrow when i do a quick unboxing of it and assembly to follow

At long last...!
Sorry for the massive delay lol.
With this board i have finally managed 4.7ghz overclock with an okayish voltage around 1.38v in bios but in cpu-z this translates to a little lower with LLC set to 75%. I've lowered the CPU PLL voltage as much as possible to lower thermal output which seems to have worked as some people who tried this method said it didn't do much. Max temps under water is around 73C (for some reason 2 of my cores stay around 69C and the other 2 will sit around 73C).
I might push for 4.8ghz lol but i think i'll be using stupid voltages for that and really don't wanna go over 1.4v for overclocking intel cpu.

World record was broken on this mobo!

But the price
I would never ever pay that much for a mobo lol unless i was made of money!
I'll settle on my 4.7ghz for now
Beautiful
Thanks Space Monkey!
It was worth waiting for the pics to be uploaded ....very very nice
Thank you.
Got new tubing and new coolant coming this week along with some other bits and bobs. Just sold my old board so got some funding for a new block or maybe some added memory from 8gb to 16gb hehehe
Just rotated my top 240 rad a 180 degrees to keep my tubing tidy inside the case while hiding as much of it as possible as to not obscure the motherboard Galore!
New tubing put in and new fluid:
XSPC 16/10 Clear tubing
Mayhems Red Pastel Coolant
Custom 24pin cable (Diablo) in red
Bitfenix sleeved 6pin pcie in red
Still looking for that golden cpu water block to finish this build off once and for all.. looking at getting the new Koolance block when it comes into stock.

Just looking for a Mosfet waterblock now as well for the Asus MAX V Gene board... does anyone know if the older Z68 model block will fit on the new gen board?
Wanna borrow my dremel? Haha
I could fit a 240 at the front but since i have 2x120 rads already i didn't see the point in buying another 240.
People say that push pull on a 240 rad is a bit pointless and just adds noise so i decided to stick with 2 fans instead.
What case do you have IC3??
Haha thanks man, it takes a lot of planning and time to perfect it.
What case do you have?
signature?
Antec P280
Ah yeah! and so you do haha, i must have missed it.
I was gonna upgrade to the P280 but decided i want to keep it small in the end and glad i did. Potential in this case is awesome, looks good and is roomy for a matx case while not taking up a ton of room on your desk/room
Well now you know haha, it's still a work in progress. I still need to upgrade a few things! The 960T is the last best thing that amd did btw, i was gonna get one until i decided to join ivybridge and never looked back since.
Not yet, i'm still working on it. The cutting disks i have are too big for the job so i need to source some small ones for the tighter corners.
however i did just order this:
And waiting for this:

Thats my old window, i bought another piece of perspex to make something more unique. I'll take a picture and show you.
Nah i got a specialist to make it, cost me £40 in total for the cut but i did the measurements myself.
I got the piece of perspex from the same company though which cost me £10 so thought i'd give dremelling and case modding a good bashing lol
That's not basic! It's a 600T!!! I once wante one of these but decided i wanted to keep to a small form factor in the end. I just love small powerhouse builds.
What have you overclocked your cpu to? I couldn't find it in your progress thread.
I haven't overclocked mine, it doesn't need it yet(and i don't know enough about it!).
If you need help with overclocking drop me a trust message
It's quite easy once you get the hang of it but takes abit of patience.
