Stuck in traffic so thought I'd start my P-Log :p

Will be adding pictures tonight when I get home :)


Case is the Parvum S1.0 but extended to allow a 120.3 rad at the bottom. Cables are braided by davido_labido.

Edit:

Specs.
i7 4770k
M6G
8gb 2600 TG ram
Gtx 780

Hardware labs black ice 240, 240 & 360 rads.
Scythe gt1850 fans, aquero controller.
Bitspower & monsoon fittings (silver)
Blood red coolant
Motherboard blocks plus other things I can't remember lol.

Back home now :)
Looking back at the pictures, i made a little mistake....my angled fittings are not rotary :( Will have to buy some real ones at a later date.

Argh! A build log?!

I best get a move on with your cables then!

Can't wait to see this build. I love any parvum build!

No rush mate! :)
Only reason i'm starting the log now is because i'm no longer in a rush. Instead of having to do everything in a single weekend (need to use the computer, no spares :o) I've bought a bundle off Whyscotty, meaning i can do bits in my spare time spread over a few weeks :)

Bit of a downgrade though, 2600k instead of a 4770k :)

Like it, Tone :)

How are you going to arrange the case/rad airflow in there and have you decided on what feet are going on the bottom?

Should hopefully have some feet delivered tomorrow, airflow not yet worked out. Push on the 360, push on the top 240 and pull on the front 240. Got two 80mm fans at the back pulling for cooler intakes. Not expecting fantastic temps, certainly much higher than my beloved chiller :(

Can't decide whether to sell or keep that beast tbh.
 
Little update:

My feet arrived from the bay :)
Bought 4 packs...thinking they were individual lol :D





Test fitted the rads how i want them, so the X-flow being up the top etc.




Pictures of the parts going inside :)









My new block for the motherboard :)




This is where i got up to tonight before qutting, the problem being my fittings are wrong. Gotta order actual rotary fittings instead of extended angled!! My mistake. So these will be going very cheap in the MM soon lol.




 
Little update :)

2 Parcels arrived today, one from the man Davido and the other from OCUK :D






I had to order both Bitspower and XSPC rotary fittings because of stock, they had no stock of 45 fittings, so had to use 60 and 30 :(








This is where i got up to, need to pop to my tool place to pick up some longer screws, cant fit both the fan and the res with the screws provided by HWL :(

looking good
Shame the fittings arent the same but they go together well.
The res gonna be mounted on the mid wall?

Gonna be on the front 240rad, top fan :)
Shame about using the XSPC fittings, only used one so far, and you cant see it so i'm happy :p

The monsoon look better than the bitspower compressions though imho (using bitspower compressions behind the midwall :D)

Looking good fella - liking those fittings - you may see something similar in my next build :D
Click to expand...

Does that mean you've ordered yourself a cheeky extended parvum? :D
 
One more update, this time with crappy pictures (lighting in this room is shocking :))

Everything is tubed up and now bleeding the system, still got loads of air trapped mainly on the CPU block :(
Will be finishing this off either mid week if i have time or weekend, had a problem with one of the fittings not tightening properly so had a leak on the 360rad (hence why the fan is now missing!!) changed the monsoon for a bitspower one, wont be noticeable though :D

Will redo these pictures with better natural light when properly finished.

Looks good buddy!

:D
Better pics of the front and back hopefully tomorrow, maybe...depends on work, gotta sort out all my fans, SSDs and stuff like that first.

Then it's finding somewhere to mount it, honestly didn't think it would weigh this much, was hoping to mount on the wall (shelf) but with my walls basically being plasterboard got no chance!
 
Didn't think it was possible, but my USB cable for the Aquero is backwards :( Meaning my fans are 100% all the time, kinda ruined build and requires music being played at all times for it to be berable.

Got two options, **** around trying to swap the cable round (yeah right!!!) or buy 7v reducers for the fans. Guess what one i opted for. I'll give you a hint they're coming Wednesday LOL :D

Pictures of my finished build anyways. Didn't want to take pictures of the back because its a kin' mess. The back panel is bulging slightly! :D
Temps are pretty decent, the 780@1300 peaks around 35-37 mark on Heaven 4.0 (two loops) CPU temps not checked because i had to reset overclock.

Awesome job bro. Really love the extended builds with the extra rad power.

Can I advise grabbing some photos in the day light? My advise pop the rig on a table or surface close to a window. A super cloudy day works perfect rather than direct sunlight. Then use your camera with no flash mode. If possible use a tripod but back when I started modding I just put the camera on a cushion on a chair and used the 5 second auto timer on the camera to avoid any wobble.

I only ask as it'd make for some super nice photos then I can steal some for the Facebook page haha.

Will have a play this weekend, never home when it's light out during the week.
