Mayhems Project Silver Bullet

Mayhems · 14 Oct 2015 at 18:44

Welcome to our PC build log for the Silver Bullet build

I would like to first introduce our Sponsors whom are helping create this small but full featured PC system.

IN-Win http://inwin-style.com/en/goods.php?act=file&id=805#product_tab have kindly supplied us with the 805 tower glass case as per our request.

MSI has graciously Sponsored us with a main-board aka - MSI Z170A XPower Gaming Titanium Edition Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard and a Graphics card (more details to come)

I will be creating a 1 off special Real 100% pure Silver Nano 10nm coolant liquid for the build. Glass tubing and hopefully some thing just a little bit special but you will have to wait and see.......

Super flower are sponsoring us Via OCUK http://www.overlcokers.co.uk a power supply.

IN-Win 805 Mid Tower case deconstruction for modding.

Mayhems · 14 Oct 2015 at 23:01

Bent (as shown below this is glass tubing 16mm) ->

We can bend it to all most any shape needed

And might have a couple of custom runs, we need to see how many rads we can get inside first and foremost.

Weve managed to get a 360 and 240mm in it atm but it will all depend on when the Main board arrives to see if we can pull it off.

The PSU arrived today how ever my daughter decided she would run away from school and had the police chasing her all over town so no pictures today and no work done

. Ill crack on tomorrow though

.

The glass is bent at 1700c and then annealed in a oven. Its all done by hand as are the tubes.

Super Flower and OCUK have sponsored us With the Super Flower Leadex Platinum (80+ Platinum) power supply. This gives us plenty of room for movement on the hardware side of things with the possibility of future upgrades too. Being A platinum rated PSU it means it won't draw more energy than needed making it economical for the long term. This is our premium choice of PSU due to the fact Super Flower have a fantastic rep for reliability and long lasting with excellent support. We could not have asked for any better.

Managed to get around to day to ordering from overclockers today

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor-> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-579-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=3069

Avexir Blitz Original Silver 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Quad Channel Memory Kit - White Light (AVD4UZ130001504G-4BZ1SW) -> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-120-AR

2 x Samsung SM951 128GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive (MZVPV128HDGM-00000) -> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-212-SA

They should arrive next week. It will be interesting to see how far we can push the i5 and memory

.

Just noticed also Ek have just released a all in one block for the MB which covers the CPU and main board.. might have to look into that.

Ive made the coolant ready this is not aurora but actual 100% pure silver ground down to 3nm (nanometer) and suspended in a 1 off specialist coolant. There is quite a few hours work gone into the coolant alone and previously we called it Mayhems Decimation. This coolant out performs any thing on the market to date and nothing we have ever come across can even come close......

This is a hyped up version we once took down to OCUK to show them ..... Its not just the next level but 1000x stronger.

Mayhems · 17 Oct 2015 at 23:10

To be honest im not sure yet as its a new version of Decimation containing a lot more real pure silver. The colour was not 100% what we wanted as we were more after a grey look to the build how ever that is nano fluids for you, they surprise you at every turn. These are nano tubed particles were as Chrystal / ball particles look duller and more dirty brown / black so this is a much better option.

I may pastel it a little more and try and give it a metal look how ever that could with draw it from its simplicity and the fact its a real super coolant.

Mayhems · 18 Oct 2015 at 00:07

hehe all main parts are coming next week how ever Mayhems has seen a 10 fold in sales which means the factory is working over time to keep up, so every thing is being done when we get time to jump on it

.

Mayhems · 19 Oct 2015 at 18:50

cannot do much till the main parts arrive.

Mayhems · 19 Oct 2015 at 23:31

I do not like the colour of the silver fluid so i changed it to a much more suitable colour.

Mayhems · 20 Oct 2015 at 12:54

This is a 100% all the time fluid.

Mayhems · 20 Oct 2015 at 15:12

The time it takes to make such fluids would be impossible to scale up and sell right at this moment in time, It taken about 150+ hours of work just to get it this close and the fact its working out at nearly £2,000 per ltr puts it out of reach of the vast majority of consumers. How ever it gives you a good glimpse into what we are upto

and possibly future developments.

Mayhems · 20 Oct 2015 at 16:03

Its not really the silver its the cost of manufacturing and the 2 years of work in my spare time that gone into it.

e.g -> 0.02 mg/mL in aqueous buffer = £86.40 thats for 0.02 mg - i've made 4 ltrs ..... http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/cat.../product/aldrich/730807... this is also not silver nanotubes which is more costly to make.

Mayhems · 21 Oct 2015 at 16:16

i just saw that i nearly Cried .. EK are sponsoring this build how ever i didn't ask for that block ... now ill just go hide in a corner .... More info once Ek's stuff has landed

Mayhems · 28 Oct 2015 at 23:34

Over at Mayhems were totally shocked by the support MSI has offered us on our build below are two pictures of what MSI sent us. We will go into more details about them but first we have a couple of front and back pictures of the boxes. Im going to say off the bat the MSI has completely gone about and beyond there call for help and given more than we could have ever asked for.

Pictured left is MSI Ge Force 980 GTX which packs more punch than Mike Tyson on a Friday night out and speaks more than he could ever wish. On the right we have ….. the MSI Z170A Gaming main board is gorgeous silver and black…. Even the box has you standing in awe over its beauty.. But first boxes pics before we go into more detail

.

More pics will follow with more information over the next few days

Mayhems · 29 Oct 2015 at 13:57

EK sponsorship blocks and fittings arrived, So much to do and so little time in between what i do now,

Got straight on with fittings the EK 980 Lightning GPU block to the MSI Geforce GTX 980 TI (Perfect fit). Pics below of the beauty in all its glory.

Mayhems · 29 Oct 2015 at 16:15

The MSI Z170A Xpower Gaming Titanium Edition Mainboard for the new Skylake CPU from Intel look very impressive close up with the whole board being silver it will complement the whole build. The EK -Supremacy Evo Nickel Plexi suits the board down to the ground, We haven't gone with a full cover block as the Heat sinks on the Z170A complement the system very well and covering them over would be such a shame.

We love the back and detail as much as we love the front ...

Making a Back Plate using a cheap Chinese laser cutter and coral laser.

To make a Back plate for the MSI Ge-Force GTX 980 Ti wasn’t an easy task when you literally know nothing and when asking questions all you ever seem to get is people saying use other software, however this would cost a fortune. So we set out to make it using just the tools we had.

First off using a regular scanner we can the back of the MSI Ge-Force GTX 980 Ti using a 100% ratio so we would get a like for like copy of the back of the board. This is important as we need to measure up the board so we can replicate it digitally. If you get lots of Black around you print out like we did just lay white paper around the PCB so that you get some clean lines to work with.

Once completed test the photo copy of the back of the PCB against you Ge-Force 980 Ti card and make sure everything matches up correctly. This took us a couple of attempts but didn’t take long.

Once we had the scan we simply took measurements of the now flat Paper PCB such as the 5 holes were going to mount the plate to and the surrounding edges that we wish to plate up.

Next we opened up coral laser and imputed the rectangle size and cut offs needed and then place the correct size holes corresponding to our back plate. This Made life ultra-easy and not much messing was needed to get the sizes correct.
Your back plate is now ready to go. However we would like to show who make the MSI Ge-Force GTX 980 Ti so next we took a copy of the MSI logo from there Logo page here -> http://l.facebook.com/lsr.php?u=htt...clerY5TzEzuCXDvVZsT-PW1oeH1EGhMP5mQiPsfaT7UVg

And we added the dragon to the back plate. We had to adjust the dragon a little just so that the laser had clear lines to cut and didn’t over cut on some parts of the dragon. We didn’t like adjust the mascot but for the plate to look good with the cheap laser we didn’t really have much option.

Next we added the MSI logo and sizes it to the back plate and then added the wording for the GTX 980 Ti (we didn’t add Ge-force as it would have been to much). One thing we noticed was the lettering would have not worked as it was plain and the 0’s in 980 would have feel out and would have needed gluing in which is a pain to do. So I nipped over to http://www.1001fonts.com/stenciled-fonts.html?page=9&items=10 and chose a stencil font and installed it to the PC and used that to create the correct type of wording. This made life so much easier than faffing on.

Now to create test peace’s we didn’t want to go slicing and dicing expensive peace’s of plastic to make sure ever thing fitted so we simply laser cut sheets of paper and tested them on the back plate, after a few minor adjustments to the design we finally got what we needed and moved over to running a 1 off test peace in 3mm ply.
**Pictured below is a test peace in 3mm Ply. This was cut at power 40 on the laser and speed 6mms. It cut through the first time which is perfect for our needs and as a test peace. (plz remember if you a pro you may know better, how ever I’m not).

As you can see the images of the dragon still needs some work as we lost the eye but getting there slowly.

Did a little more testing today using Black plastic, silver card and see though perspex.
