Sure are m8. Everything is hunkydory now (thank God and thankyou!)

.

w3bbo · 24 Feb 2011 at 22:00

Ah thats ok then. I'm using current drivers and hit 68fps on second run. 38 low/131 high, sound about right?

w3bbo · 24 Feb 2011 at 22:14

Well I'm happy with it for now. Wouldn;t mind a 980x cpu tbh but I reckon it'll be pointless without water so.......

lol

w3bbo · 5 Mar 2011 at 00:09

Cheers m8. Good to see you back online too

. Doubt I'll have the money for a 980x and it would be wasted on air cooling anyway

.

Yeah I'm feeling the sting a bit with regard to air cooled temps. That said its nice to have a 'normal' pc to just use it for what God intended

. Might have to have a dabble with a water cooled build soon though

It doesnt help that I have this hidden away under my desk which means it's just circulating hot air. For a 24/7 pc it's perfect, it's hard not being able to compete with watercooling tho, restricted by temps lol. Forgot how frustrating aircooling can be!

I've not tried custom fan profiles yet. I might have to play around tomorrow.

Nearly forgot to mention w3bbo left angle sata cables are around, I got some sata3 ones by okgear & for sata2 there is startech, well worth getting to compliment the hdd cable work you have done on this & they are less than £3 each , found out about them when I was looking for left angle cables so the cable goes up rather than down or out, not many people are selling them to my surprise but they can be found .

EXCELLENT!! I'll have to have a scour when I get hom as this works pc blocks half the sites google brings up

. Thanks for the info m8

Yeah but summer is nearly here so I might have to go back to water. I'm already getting the itch for new build but not seen an enclosure I really fancy yet.

w3bbo · 9 Apr 2011 at 23:26

Very nice case. I'm a big fan of cube cases having owned 3 mountainmods cases.

Can't really judge the xspc case without seeing it in person though but from the pics i've seen it looks promising if somewhat expensive.

w3bbo · 10 Apr 2011 at 00:27

I agree the TJ07 is a fantastic case but it's pretty much been done to death. I prefer something a little different.

Wouldn't mind a go at the tj11 but thats just a ridiculous price for what it is.

We'll see what cases are on the horizon or I might go cap in hand to xspc and get another sponsored job on the go

w3bbo, if i were to CF inside of my antec 900, how much CF vinyl should i order? how much did u use on ur case?

Can't remember off hand. I think I ordered about 5 metres. Didn't need anywhere near that but got extra in case of mistakes.

Great looking Mod w3bbo, stunning work! You completely swung my opinion on CF vinyl, 5stars and lots of +Rep

Cheers

belial8321 said:
indeed boff in, the vinyl looks very convincing! do want!

It's not easy to do tbh. You will need plenty of patience and unlike wallpaper, the bubbles will not disappear unless you squeegee them out. Some bubbles are stubborn so I just popped them with a pin which sorted them out

.

I think the CF came to £20 so it's a cheap and effective mod. The 3m stuff is better coz it's textured but I didn't want textured so went for the cheaper stuff. The only problem with the cheaper stuff is it's very thin so mistakes are easy to do and are difficult to mask. Imagine using something thinner than selotape on a much larger scale and you get the picture!!!

w3bbo · 22 Apr 2011 at 21:08

Cheers m8. It's never too late to pay a compliment tbh

!

w3bbo · 22 May 2011 at 22:12

Sure m8, what do you want to know?

I screwed a spare stand-off into the drive and then attached the stand-off to the mobo tray via a motherboard screw from the back.

Just read through all this, absolutely stunning PC.

Glad you like it

. I got bored easily though so I'm already getting the itch to try something new. I'm trying my best to hold out until X68 but I'm losing the battle lol.

I'll give it a try over the weekend if I am sober enough

Ok. Give us a shout if you need any help m8. IF you can't get hold of the correct threaded stand off you could always use a long motherboard screw and screw it directly to the motherboard. IT won't give you the 'floating' effect but it will be on display, which is cool enough

How are temps with the GPU's though? With the way I have fans setup at present the three fans at the front are the only ones supplying cool air?

w3bbo · 8 Jul 2011 at 08:30

Hmmm, I might just have to get my feet wet again lol. Thanks for the heads up m8.

w3bbo · 8 Jul 2011 at 17:03

Well I've got a busy month coming up for reviews (GTX590, Asus 580 Matrix, HD6870 MIX and a Zotac GTX560 AMP among others) so any spare time I had to install some WC just went out of the window!

I really need to setup a second rig

w3bbo · 22 Aug 2012 at 18:52

Nice to see people still look back through project logs.

Thanks
