Project: Ghost of the STY (the return!!)

Lokai · 19 Jul 2011 at 11:17

Back in October last year i started a new project in a MountainMods Pinnacle 24 (kindly provided by one Mr Piggin). But due to a house move and wedding i didnt have the time (or money) to continue it.

Original thread is here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18197283

Well I now have some free time and cash to crack on with it, this is what ive got planned -

Pinnacle 24 Case
i5 2500K
ASUS P67 Sabertooth
8 Gig Corsair Dominator 1600 MHz
5870
160ssd
1tb f1 hd
1000w corsair HX PSU

Im planning on doing two loops one for the cpu and motherboard and one for the gpu (which to be fair is overkill but it will look good

)

EK High-flow barbs
EK Supreme LT CPU Block
EK 5870 Full Cover Block
EK P67 Sabertooth Mosfet Block
EK Coolstream XT480 quad rad push/pull
EK Dominator ram block
Thermochill 120.3 triple rad push/pull
DDC 18w pumps x 2
15 x Akasa 120mm green led fans 17.5dB(A)
XSPC pump res
Bay res

Have decided on a green theme this time, so along with all the fans, im also doing a black and a green braid for the psu, pumps, fans, cathodes etc

To start with here is a pic of the case, will get some more pics up tomorrow, first step is going to be make a start on all the braiding -

Another pic of the case, just to show there isn't going to be any problem fitting the triple and the quad rad. I wont be using the UD5 that is pictured there as i sold that, am going with a P67 Sabertooth.

Should be getting a delivery today

a case that big with only 7 expansion slots?

You can choose to have ten expansion slots when you buy from MountainMods, but seven is more than enough for what i need.

I thought so

Wow insane. It didn't all that big from the outside but your mobo is getting positively dwarfed!

Will keep a eye on this as i have the same case

Lokai · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:29

Got a few fans today

New CPU block

Decided to use barbs for this build, used compression fittings on my last one and i just dont get on as well with them

The two rads i will be using, both will be set up in push/pull

A couple of ddc pumps, one with a res with and one just with a top

And a few other general bits and bats

So, on with some braiding now i think, hopefully should get the P67 sabertooth tomorrow, and the blocks for it should come next week

are you going to use some acid green UV coolant too?

KiiYzOo · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:36

1 down 14 to go

Lokai · 21 Jul 2011 at 21:13

Testing to see what the radiators are like fitted with all fans, I have since taken off the 4th bottom fan from the quad so I can fit the bay res and drive in.

looking good mate, that's some serious fanage there - should keep it all nicely chilly
