Looks good Toaster, not bad for your first wc build but I am a little worried that you seem to break things.
I am glad that it is done now until the mobo returns but even then the tubing is flexible enough that I can move the GPU and CPU block competely clear of the mobo tray.
Sometimes things break - first time that a core component has broken on me since I started pc building.
Thanks man. Corsair should consider some white versions of their obsidian cases. Would need a different name but they are a clever bunch and could come up with something.
I would love to see that but fear too many stupid people jumping on them thinking it is genuinely made of real ivory. Then PETA would get involved and it would all get ridiculous.
I like the choice of colour theme - looks like Lego Space Police from the late 80s
I assume you are talking about the old blue mobo. I am surprised how well it works with the overall look.
TBH it is not a bad motherboard - though gigabyte buggered up the firmware. I can use an old school white text on a blue background bios with proper load line calibration/vdroop control but lose fan control and deal with super slow post times. Or I can choose the opposite.
At the moment I have the old school look as when I was overclocking on the eufi bios (without llc) the vdroop was super bad. Vcore would drop by over 0.05v making me push relatively large voltages such that under load there was enough left to remain stable.
Cheers - the main reason for this build was a lack of swankiness. I am glad I have now reached a good swank level.
Someone will find a way of getting angry but that's life in the 21st century with all these "opinions" that people have and seem to treasure.
A slight update to the build.
MPower is off to OcUK HQ for replace/repair etc. Hope to get a working one back.
Also got a molex to dual sata cable from china to replace the bitfenix alchemy braided one I had before. The bitfenix one was quite bulky and due to the way the drives sit flat it was nearly impossible to get the plugs in due to wires going in the top and bottom. Not to mention that the insulation around the wires had split at the plugs.
The wire colours don't bother me as you cannot see them (especially not with the mess from the temporary motherboard)

I could do but I am not sure that I would get very far as it's over a year old. Though I might put something on their forums as splitting cables is no joke and may have been what killed my HDD.
Awww yiss Lake District (buffering virtual fistbump)
Cheers Man! Now it's you turn to go watercooling, get those 780s underwater and they'll thank you for it. Already getting Rufus interested and he has the same case as you so it'll be super easy.
It was when i was using it, so glad to be rid of it for good. Might sell as the braiding is decent and could be stripped for modder to braid his own cables.
I certainly got that H440 love once I saw the TTL video on it. Was originally planning on the 760T but it cost way too much for a functionally sub par case compared to this.
I doubt anyone could build in the H440 without it looking tidy.
Love the case man (wish they made a smaller version!)
Someone made some really cool concept art for a mini itx version of the h440 which looked really awesome, but I cannot find it atm.
Don't taunt the newbie with your fancy tricks - I am still getting my head around this "trust" mechanic. As far as I am concerned I don't trust the lot of you!
Multi quote Toaster
I don't even know how I did this
Haha the only one that can't be trusted is LtMatt
Never trust a LtMatt. Especially not where noise is concerned.
Back to the build, I found and added a pair of old cold cathodes from my old build. Stuck them out of the way so they would cast light on the rest of the build rather than being visible themselves.
Quite happy with it now.
Been doing some testing with overclocking with my 780. Found that I was pushing the memory to far in all my tests which was causing them to fail. So dropped that back to stock and am pushing the core clock around a bit. 1176Mhz is currently in testing at 1.212v.

Are there braided cables available for the RM series of PSUs. I could never find a definitive answer.
Also Red Dwarf is way before my time, so I have no idea of any reference.
