PROJECT HIVE

Have some pics, check back in an hour, just resizing them!

Lighting, is, well, ****, very little natural light and all my lights are down lights so everything gets a bit of a reflection! That said they have come out a thousand times better then phone pics!

brb ;)
 
Ok so maybe an hour and a half, had to bath and feed the baby :o

Plan A is out of the window...

I had hoped that I would squeeze the D5 bayres in with the 480, from some measuring I need around 36mm to have the pump on, around 40mm for it to be a comfortable fit. Guess what? It leaves me with only around 32mm clearance. ****!!!!!

Next plan is to measure up for a regular dual bay res and leave the pump on a top behind the radiator.

You were planning on having the res at the bottom? What were you going to be fitting up in the upper bays?

The other res, fan controller and some blanks ;)

DUAL LOOPS!! :D

I planned for dual loops to keep tubing very minimal rather then have it hanging all over the place working its way around the rig, on show you'll only see maybe a foot or so of tubing on the CPU loop (remember motherboard is inverted!).

Edit: Just noticed, 3rd pic down, look to the right hand side of the picture, the white fluffy thing getting in the frame is one of my cats, he was trying to get in the case :p
 
So the rad is blocking the points where your fittings would go on the res?
I have to admit 2 loops with 1 in each compartment would look beastly
 
Its actually blocking the pump its self, if the pump mount was at the opposite side I could habe squeezed it in. These things just aren't meant to be...now changing both d5 bayres' out for a single d5 monsoon bayres and a single monsoon dual bayres as thier none pump bayres is short enough to fit....and from the front they look the same :)

Will be getting more things ordered over the weekend but wont get to do anymore fitting for a week or so as I'm down in hakanese' neck of the woods all next week visiting family :)
 
Second phantom glh to be with me tomorrow.

Blocks also ordered, I did want acetal but absolutely no where has an eta let alone stock, so I sniffed out some clean nickel plexi blocks :cool:

Photo's to come of the new addition tomorrow!
 
I think gainward get overlooked as their parent company is Palit, who don't have such a great rma reputation, but gainward are UK based and have a 2 day turnaround premium rma service just for ocuk :)

They also allow cooler removal from ocuk :D

A pair of these at stock is bringing me around 150fps avg on bf4 maxed out, should even have room to start raising resolution scaling to 120-140%
