Project Parvum s2.0 : DrakanX1

[Mads1]

update

fitted the H100i tonight, although gonna need to cable manage as the back is getting tighter for space.

 

[Mads1]

I really like that!

Your H100i CPU mount is slightly off centre!

I thought that when I took pic but I think it was the angle, I have re checked as it made me paranoid, but I think its the plastic cover that's out,

not sure if ive done the right thing but I want avexir memory which on ocuk was going for £89, but found this memory 2x4gb 2133mhz for £45 could pass that off as money saved plus ive a corsair gs120gb SSD which I got for £48 instead of £89, although im still gonna get the hyper x 240gb to load photoshop and a few games on.

looking good buddy

thanks nearly there.

 

[Mads1]

what should a good idle temp be, just started her up all fine posted straight into bios, just gonna do a bios update, temp is cpu 33' motherboard 27'

 

[Mads1]

33 is all good tbh mate. if you do at any point want to pick out a different TIM, can I make my suggest for the PK-3, no burn in time and IMHO, the best non liquid TIM out there (just stick the tube in a bowl of hot water before working to soften the paste up!). you got your H100i in push or pull? they do tend to work a teeny tiny bit better in pull if you cant have both. pretty sure you like the aesthetics of seeing your fans inside your case though, so your call!

I took the stock stuff off and put on mx-4. small grain of rice as they say in the middle. fans in push.

 

[Mads1]

Very nice work on the sleeving. Nice colourscheme.

thanks a lot, MDPC, was easy to do, was my first time and this is my first build so pretty pleased at the moment, and all running on my birthday today.

 

[Mads1]

those enermax fans look so good!

I cant believe how quiet it is, very impressed with the fans.

 

[Mads1]

Happy birthday

thanks.

 

[Mads1]

will load up more pics later as SSD and uv LEDs turn up.

 

[Mads1]

I was tinkering with my Parvum last night and thought tinting the acrylic side panel would look good!

Hadn't even thought of using car tint! Yours looks brilliant!

cheers mate,yes its easy to do but what I will say is don't get a cheap one , I paid about £7 for a 3 metre roll in 35% tint, only took about 5 mins to do aswell. I booted her up this morning with no probs and done a bios update, as still waiting for some more parts.

 

[Mads1]

Wow very clean looking build!

cheers thanks, my first build, and first time braiding aswell, all gone great so far.

 

[Mads1]

I wish I went for one of these !!! Oh well My 540 Is perfect, but next time I shall be reading the dimensions lol

there a great case, the Parvum boys are always happy to help if you want extra's done with the case, you don't get that from anyone else, cant recommend them enough.

update

more parts arrived.

quick pic from me mobile with the uv LEDs installed, gives a nice look with the tinted window.

will do some decent pics tomorrow when i have some more bits arriving.

 

[Mads1]

just a quick report, system all up and running with no problems,idle temps of 21 to 25 on the h100i with load temps of 51, seems ive been told I have a good cpu as done a mild overclock to 4.2ghz with a voltage of 1.150, have taken some new pics of system of which I will post later, so far im really happy.

 

[Mads1]

Build is looking fantastic! Glad you're all up an running (with some pretty nice temps too).

thanks, ive just got a stable oc to 4.4 @ 1.195v , this build has been a good learning curve, just need to save for a graphic card now which I hope to get in the next week, still unsure to go for a gtx780 or gtx780ti as im thinking gtx780 then next year the gtx 800.

 

[Mads1]

The Carbide > Parvum IMHO. Although the latter has been made to look very sexy in these builds. Parvums are for people who get their own backplates made to remind them of their name

I would but not got a graphic card yet.

 

[Mads1]

update

Ok been having a play with overclocking and have managed a 4.6oc @ 1.245, temps idle @ 24 and under load 68, ran prim95 and occt and have had no problems, the msi z87m is a great board, just need me graphic card now which im waiting on, then gonna start getting some water cooling bits, took some pics of rig with the uv lights on and the rather messy back of case, i just cant seem to make the cable management look neat

also i must say the enermax fans are great and very quiet.

 

[Mads1]

really nice looking build.

the only thing for me is the lighting colour, it makes things look purple to me and I loved the clean white & red lines of it.

Beyond that its a heck of a build and I'd be dead chuffed to have that on my desk. well done with it

yes i know what you mean about the colour, its more of a blue but it is uv lights so gonna have that bit of purple look, im still not sure i like it, and will prob get some red or white ones but not sure yet, but it looks great behind the tinted window.

 

[Mads1]

Very nice build ! I would definitely go with white lights too ��

thanks , yes im thinking of white now.

 

[Mads1]

Great looking build! How does the window tint look in real life? The first pics of it, it looks like you can see the scrap marks where you smoothed it out. Are they visible irl? I'm sure you've looked at a smoked acrylic panel instead?

Also your sleeving turned out great! Is that red sleeving "Red" or "Colour X?"

thanks mate, yes the tint came out great, no scrape marks it was where it was laid flat and there was water under the acrylic, once dried its fine, but yes looked at a smoked acrylic panel but would need to get it cut, the parvum boys are sorting one out for me now anyway, but the tint film is good stuff, yes the sleeving came out better than i thought for my first time having a go at it, and its MDPC red its easy to work with but it takes time to cut wire , crimp, then cut each braid to each wire and melt on the crimp but its worth it.
