project: Fractal design get's bigger

[Muel]

What is that graphics card? Is that a stock cooler or aftermarket? Looks fairly evil...

 

[timee]

It's an Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 2900XT.
New graphics card is comming soon....

Yesterday I got a nice pakage by Aquatuning.

That's not all.
I've already built on the system and had some problems.
I can't use the Filter because my fittings are to fat (16/10)

After I took the pictures I modificate my midplate and started to set up the system.

And thats the actually state of affairs.

Looks like it's going quite well.

I like it

The CPU loop looks a bit ... odd, for some reason. Might just be me though...

 

[EdGey]

i agree, the loop could be done better, but it look good other than that

loving the backlit motherboard. looks like the cover of a horror/sci-fi dvd where something nasty is about to come through a door. personally i'd have no other lights in the system other than the backlighting, just to exagerate that feature. but then again i'm more than twice your age and wouldn't nearly have the know how to attempt what you're doing. kudos to you my man

lovely work mate, have some stars

 

[KIA]

Fantastic work. I'm tempted to get the same case.

I've got some news for you.
Because my 2900Xt doesn't work anymore I've bought a new graphics card.
It's an 4870 with an GPU-X2 Heatkiller.
I hope the card comes at friday so that I can install it at the weekend.

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

If you raise your res higher it will make your loop look alittle better.

 

[Assassin_012]

nice...looks good

Fantastic work. I'm tempted to get the same case.

Actually Fractal Design is "getting bigger" if you just wait:

Last monday my 4870 arrived.
And yesterday I could build it in and test it.
here are some pictures:

The gpu temprature is very nice (30°C) but the voltageconverter reach 100+°C.
Because of this I installed a fan on the cooler to get tempratures <100°C.

Until now i reached 900mhz for the chip and 1250mhz memory clock at 1.625V.

Maybe I can take some dark pictures this evening.

I think this one looks better.

Probably best you remove that link mate, lovely looking build though.

 

[whipitrnd]
