Nickolp1974 · 14 Feb 2013 at 14:02

few updates

cable management :eek:

new mobo and my RipjawsZ

obviously had to change colour from the yellow, and bought some more new fans to get some air over mobo

seriously nice, love the red, really works

Nice build here!!! Looks epic! Really good job!

Nickolp1974 · 2 Mar 2013 at 23:14

Thx guys, still need to sort them psu cables, and got to reroute m/b cpu cables, went to all the bother of routing top water tube behind the mobo tray and forgot to do the cables, very little room though with that rad.

Nickolp1974 · 5 Apr 2013 at 15:51

some more goodies, will post more pics when new gfx waterblock arrives

yep and there great, top one does not leave much room though to route top cpu cables.

Liking my new MB blocks, never seen air bubbles whizzing round before with having black tubes, gfx block due this week so will will update pics when it arrives.

Bit messy at mo as i keep changing bits!!

whyscotty · 20 Apr 2013 at 19:39

Very nice Nick, very nice indeed :cool:

Gregster · 21 Apr 2013 at 19:11

Seriously nice build Nick. The red and black go well. I have the white version of that bitfenix strip lights but they are blindingly bright.

deFiniLoGy · 21 Apr 2013 at 20:02

Nice build!!
Though the case may not have some more room for further upgrade??

Nickolp1974 · 21 Apr 2013 at 20:06

Thx guys

could get the pipes cleaner but needed some way to get the gfx out just incase i go cf but gonna do my best to hold off till the 8970. Still looking to a caselabs build, but need to do lots of planning for that.

And yeah those bitfenix lights are bright.

Nickolp1974 · 21 Apr 2013 at 20:12

It was built like this in october, i did like the yellow and black theme, but components forced a change

5 months later its like this and i'm sure in a few months it will be different again

Rooster212 · 22 Apr 2013 at 15:18

Still looks great, what kind of temps are you getting under load with those rads? On the CPU/GPU/Board?

Nickolp1974 · 22 Apr 2013 at 16:28

thx, cpu @ 4.9/1.42 v 61c running intel burn test
gpu @ 1300/1885 1.35v/1.675v 48c

Nickolp1974 · 22 Jul 2013 at 12:32

Brings a tear to my eye seeing this,

so new build is now in the planning stages

pgi947 · 22 Jul 2013 at 12:51

Ooo what spec are you eyeing up nick?

Start with deciding on case then build around it

Not going for nothing too extreme! Tbh was looking at the corsair 540 cube case and then going with the black/yellow theme like before.
If my ppi refund comes in before the the 7/8/2013 then i dont think i can wait any longer and i'm sure you know what that means!

Idealy i'd like to wait for ivy-e but not too fussed don't want to get too wrapped up in benching, cost's way too much time and money.
Only gonna watercool cpu too keep costs down unless i get a good card
