EK Blood Red ready mixed 1ltr

going to be exciting over the next month.


Not sure on names yet of the actual build .















Still watiting on a lot of stuff to turn up , im now down to 16GB of ram due to selling 16GB to a friend to fund for other stuff as funding was running low , i have a bit left just in case of needing more fittings as i wont know what bends i will be doing as i would like to have most bends in the actual tubings .

I have now got my eye on this ram .

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-122-AR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=2556 X2 as i would like all dim slots occupied and would lookamazing with 8x4GB 2x16gb kits , but im not sure if this board will take the 3600MHZ ram

Thanks for the comments guys , im just waiting on some bits from OC thats out of stock for the next 5-7 days . not sure if im painting the case yet , i would like it red and black but cant thinks of a good combo that will not drown out the RED Riing 12 fans (8 of them) . my repleacments 480 Ek rad is on its way from OC .

things on order from OC and just a few things out of stock . not going to rush this bad boy .
I have also got on order a spare side windowed panel for experimenting on (got it for £20 delivered as a one off) and i also ordered a spare bay cover from corsair as i will be cutting it to put the end pieces back in place when the fan controller takes up the bay , as i thought it would look a bit naff with it completely off at the sides , as the side bits wont have that brushed look .

this build will progress over the next few weeks due to my partner working on odd days , as i look after our 11 month old son and when 5 year old daughter is not at school (which she is for next 2 weeks lol)

so bare with me and i will take some picks of the stuff i have now ready in next couple of days .

I have now emailed bitspower as you can by the looks of it order from them but first you have to email them with what you want to order . what kind of price am i willing to pay for this ? mmmmm cant see it being more than £175 with shipping included .
 
Ram now updated couldn't pass up the nice price of 3000mhz Avexir Blitz Original Red 16GB and lifetime warranty , will get another 16GB in a few months to make 8 modules ..this rig is going to be sick . im now thinking thin red lines on the case as i dont want to much red .
 










i have emailed bitspower back asking if they declare full price as this will cost around £190 with customs tax .

but damn it would complete the look of my build and not many will have this . will have to send the waterblock i already have back to EK.

confirmed by email that i will order the block just got to wait for them to ask for payment. i can send back the EK block even though its opened but the actual block is still sealed in its packet . that will be 72 euros back to help with the cost of the Bitspower block .i really wish that bitspower didnt declare full value but i think they have no choice because customs knows they are a computer component manufacturer.

still waiting on parts from overclockers .

Done a waterblock and back plate install today . my first ever and was nervous in case i dropped something or shorted out the PCB , wont know if its still works until i put it all together .

off we go





Fan and heatsink off



Thermals on



Backplate thermals









I used Alcohol pads that are 70% isopropyl and they worked wonders getting the crap off , i then used Arctic MX-4 and will be using this on CPU block also .

I've Hit a snag and my res has to go back to Ek and swap it out for a shorter one , god knows why on earth i thought a 40cm long tube would fit in my case standing on top if the dual pump with the adapter fitting and have room to fit a 60mm thick 480mm rad and fans .. grrrrrrrrrr

Heykillswitch73 have you checked your spam folder in your email account,for some unknown reason my gmail account flagged Bitspower email as spam not once but twice.
Click to expand...
The very first email which had the quotation in did go to spam folder but nothing in spam since .


EDIT :

I have now done it all via Skype and for some reason the invoice they sent me bounced back to them .

some updates that i did yesterday with some spare time .

all cages out and bottom sides off to stop myself leaning on them and bending them .

Mid plate , back plate , motherboard tray and 5.25 bay done , ordered a hard drive cage back plate and front fan inside plate and a PSU blanking plate so it will all look nice and neat .

today i changed my order for fittings for a drain and now im going with another rad be it a 120mm rear and will use one of the Riing LED fans thats not visiable on the 480mm raditaor and swap it over and use one of the 3 corsair 120mm fans that came with the case , the other 2 corsair fans im going to use for the far side bottom (psu side) as exhaust to release extra warm air that's in the bottom of the case . the 120mm rad will be on the outside of the case as this will then not cover the Motherboard IO plate (for aesthetics and wont cover the GODLIKE Text on the IO plate)

Backplate





5.25 bay dual SSD plate


Motherboard Tray


Midplate



top Radiator



Covered with masking so it dont get scratched



Motherboard.



I will be cracking on with the rest of the build at the weekend when i have other bits and the other rad .



bare with with me for the photos as they are not very good due to limited space in spare room as my current pc desk is ocupied by a 40in 4K monitor and 32in tv as im still using the Alienware until this is built as my friend is having the Alienware and hes in no rush .
