[OcUK Staff Builds] rjkoneill's TJ07

nope - i used double sided 3M tape

it leaves no residue when peeled off but is really sticky

the rads are in there as solid as if they were screwed in

plus i didnt fancy drilling the exterior of the case

Interesting, I used sticky tabs on mine and they stuck the rads to the floor but it was all a bit wonky and rubbish. I was using 90 degree elbows too.
Perhaps my issue was where the fans were.. I had mine on the inside and I briefly tried to have fans on both rads.

If I go for it it'll wind up bright orange with a fake floor because I don't like the big holes in the floor. Hmmmmmmmmm maybs. And yes, you're inspiring me.

Rich, can I ask, where did you get your PSU extensions from?

I want to sleeve each individual wire on my PCIe, 24pin and 8pin power cables, but I would prefer to do it the way you have, instead of sleeving my PSU's cables.

Can't wait until I get my TJ07, it looks fantastic!

Only just saw this thread. must have missed it before.

i have been busy :D
months of planning have gone into this build
planning stages were difficult as i had to work with measurements for things i didnt have with me - sketchup was useful for this

the biggest thing holding me back was waiting for components

its come together nicely though

i wanted a few things from it:
silence
performance
aesthetics

and looking at it built up, i have to say it lives up to what i wanted to achieve

still got a lot of bits to do
window mod on the side panel, possibly a ram cooler and i need to sort my storage out :rubs hands for SSD's:

Thats sweat mate.
But where are the hard drives? Or they yet to be slotted in?
Are you water cooling them to?!

i have my drives in the front at the moment, i am waiting for my ssd to arrive before i can get rid of one of my drives, i might even take out all the mechanical drives and put my data on a NAS as the Hdds are the only thing that makes noise

i need to sort my optical drive out as it just fails at the moment

Hope you meant sweet and not sweat! :)

This is a cracking build. Was the case painted or powder coated on the inside?

i painted it myself, two days of primer and a week of thin coats of matt black built up with 12hrs drying time between sprays

its turned out great and cost £12 to do the whole case

That looks great! Any word as to what kind of temps you are getting?

well, i havent had much time to actually use my system due to there being a lot to do at work and commitments in my free time

i did have a quick run through though
just running on my existing OS at the moment, going to hold out until Win7 gets released then reinstall on some SSDs

put the latest bios on the board and checked temperatures whilst leak testing

here is a shot of default temperatures

and a quick 4ghz clock using the settings i use for the OCUK 4GHz rampage bundle

the cpu isnt much different to when i had just the cpu on a triple rad
the heat dump of the i7 is still massive

but NB/SB temps have gone from 55'C on stock cooling to 30'c in windows
4890s idle at 30'c, 45'c load

a big result
