PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

Glad its working bud, Faulty PSU's and memory are often the hardest things to pinpoint.

Time to get at it :cool:

I'll post updates when I take smoke breaks.
 
Cabling to the most part done, the stragglers I'll get pinned away once the GPU's are in:

Nice work mate, interesting choice of colour for the fluid, you thought about braiding the PSU cables as well? Get some sort of orange scheme going :p
 
The PSU isn't going to be a permanent fixture, I did have a braided cable kit for it ordered but got no less then 3 wrong or cancelled orders from various retailers, in the end I just gave it up. Plus any braiding I want to do on a full modular unit rather then semi-modular :)

Just about to start the nervy part - filling 'er up.
 
Just leak testing now, found my first leak....bridge between two GPU's, knew I should have used compressions and a bit of tubing, the slight hang from the bottom card gives enough to pull the connector at an angle, temp fixed it will cable ties to hold the card up just now, not pretty but it works.

I would have changed it if I hadn't already put 2L of mayhems into it. May just grab one of those powercolor jack-bar things.
 
Nice looking build mate, i'm in the middle of a build with the same mobo and i wish i'd seen this case earlier :( Seems perfect for what i had planned.

Even my 800D couldnt take that motherboard :eek:
 
Most. Retarded. Fault. Ever.

Since I'm using dual cards, my motherboard has a 6pin PCI connector to give the PCI lanes a little extra juice. I plugged that in to see if it helps.

Unplugged it, all is well :confused:

Now to figure out why one of my hard drives isn't showing.

I've noticed on the UD7 it has two 8 pin plugs on the board. Any need to power them both?

Nope purely for looks/sub zero cooling as it allows better power draw or something, Xpower II has a pair of 8 pins too while most ROG boards have an 8+4 setup. I only have both plugged in as my PSU has two EPS cables, saves one going to waste :o

Idling along nicely, CPU and both GPU's sitting around 20c, can't figure out which ones the VRM bank yet.

Mine never showed neither, just went into disk management and assigned it a letter.

Think it was 8pack i asked about 2 eps plugs, think he said plug em both in which will help spread the load on the vrm's which will help a little when oc'ing, sure it will be the same for any board hat has that feature.

Looks like you're well on your way with this build. Will be interesting to see what speeds you can eek! out of those cards.

What about those two sata power ports on the UD7. Any point in powering them up? Somthing to do with providing extra power to the Pcie lanes.

Sorted, was either the ICY BOX or the nasty ass phobya sata cables, either way I jumped in a new cable and its picking it up now!

I would usually say yes, but my alternative of that (6pin PCI power) just makes my system not post :p

More pics incoming, just going to have a quick game and check everything is fine :)
 
Glad to hear it, I didn't get chance to try multi cards on it.

Well everything at stock, I'm not seeing temps anywhere above 32c :D

gaming tonight, tuning/benching tomorrow, as its at 3.8ghz, 1600mhz C11 & 1010/1375mz atm and quite probably with the PCI lanes set to legacy rather than Gen3 :o

Tomorrows aim? 5ghz, 2200mhz C10 & as close to 1400/1900 as I can :D

Just re-sizing some pics now, the side isn't on yet so any requests/clearer shots I can take another day.
