[OcUK Staff Builds] rjkoneill's TJ11

LOL at the deleted posts.
its a project log, not a chat room.
various members have been warned about spammy posts.
I'm sure anyone reading my project log here would want to be presented with progress and updates. Not for useful information to be lost in someone's conversation that could easily be had away from the boards.
In other news.
I got my UD7
I got a 2011 mounting kit for my HF Supreme
I got a black EZ mount kit for my Supreme
I have 2 litres of a Mayhems prototype on its way to me for the build [big thanks to Mick@Mayhems for the support]
also got my CPU, which I cant talk about at the moment.
I want another kit of ballistix elite but I may be buying a new car this week so funds are mega tight and it may have to wait until after pay day
apart from that we are good to go.

Cool story rjk
I guess this went out of the window.
Really looking forward to this project, top notch kit and a case that not many people have worked in i'll be watching !

Fair point, agree it should be about your project log rather than speculation.
Liking the update on your parts, the spec seems to be getting better! Buy the ballistix and not the car!
Can't wait for this to start.
Thanks for the copmprehensive response rjk, appreciated - that's my next luxury upgrade sorted.

this is absolutely disgraceful.terrible.i'm disgusted by this.the fact that you are on here showing of your nice new TJ11 and x79 parts when i want one too but have to wait.it's enough to make me want to cancel my membership of this forum and smash my pc up.i'm off to find a cat to kick.
no cats or dogs were hurt in the making of this rant.

bit of progress this week.
got the majority of the system built. It is all in a functional state but I am not happy with the tubing route or the reservoir mod yet.
It have scoured high and low trying to find a male to male thread extension that means i can hang the reservoir from the roof of the case.
Mick had sent me some fluid for testing but I have been asked not to use it for the time being which means that I am just using pure H2O and a bit of biocide for the time being.
It is loking like I may just have to get some pastel orange once I have found a tubing that wont mist up with plasticiser. I love the look of Tygon but it goes horrible after a few days. considering TFC or Primochill.
Here was my TJ07 which I had to take apart first, few scratches on my paint job from all the hardware changes. Sad to see this one go
Hardware all lined up for cleaning.
TJ11 Vs TJ07
Reservoir Roof Mod & Fill Port
CPU Block Cleaning. No nickel corrosion on my non EN block. I had to swap the nickel plated bracket back to the black one for this build. I cleaned the impingement channels and installed the new high performance jet plate into the block whilst it was open. Notice a small amount of debris in the channels. This is why you need to flush your radiators before use
Board Installation
forgot the block needed to be rotated 90'
another 8GB of ballistix is going in next week too.
GTX 590 with block and backplate and Xonar D2X installed
Didn't need the top fan in there so i have just put a plain fan grill in there.
odd seeing all the IO ports at the top of a computer
Gentle Typhoon 1850 in a pull configuration
mounted using double sided sticky foam that I got a few years back from B&Q
loads of cable management to do and a bunch of setting up things like the aquaero so still got a heap of work to do on the project.

Looks pretty nice. Presume you'll be too busy to try any self braiding, but might we see some Bitfenix or the such like cables appearing?
Interesting way to mount the rad and reservoir, I'd be worried they wouldn't take the weight - saying that you have much more experience, so probably know if they will
I must say, my biggest 'gripe' with the TJ11, is that top mounted IO panel, switching headphones and speakers around would be a right pain...
Looking nice though, and waiting to see the updates
