Dust filers won't help that much when you have negative pressure as air and dust are sucked in through the gaps in case.

Yeah I guess so

Superb build there mate, those two Sapphire cards look fantastic together.

The blue on those graphics cards look so nice. This build makes me jealous.

Thanks. Defiantly going to incorporate it more into my scheme as it's grown on me massively. Getting some blue spray paint in order to customize the fan rings etc. Might also look at new braided cables!

The colour scheme really is great and I love the build as well. Really making me want to buy a new pc when I really really don't need too.

Assassin_012 · 16 Jul 2014 at 03:06

Those Sapphire cards, definitely amazing.

2 intakes 4 exhaust ??? Gunna get dusty

I spotted that too. I would have front, top & bottom IN and the rear OUT.

Seriously nice build though

Loving the colour scheme, It's nice to see someone is will to mix and match colours rather than a colour and black/white.

Are you going to spray thos fan rings?

****** Update ******

After a lot of stressing I thought I'd finally fixed my boot issues. It was apparently a flag that windows had set on my two HDDs and was a simple case of removing the 'active' tag and I was booting fine.

That was until last night. After installing my new fan controller I'm getting boot issues again. It keeps saying, please select a boot device. It's like the SDD keeps vanishing from the boot menu.

Second to this, I've also noticed that if I reduce my notucas down to 65% speed and shutdown, then boot a few hours later, often the fans dont start spinning again - not until I whack them back to 100% then turn them down again? Does anyone have any thoughts on what the hell is going on?

It seems if I boot from a powered down state, it takes two boots to get into windows, on most occasions. The first attempt I just get please select a boot device etc.

The search for answers continues.

A few strange issues there - I haven't read the thread in detail but have you made sure mobo is on latest bios? May address SSD vanishing issue... but it is a brand new board so not convinced. It's likely on latest bios anyway...
Worth checking though.

gerico · 17 Jul 2014 at 10:36

Hi Walder, yeh i did managed to find a new bios which i installed. Unfortunately hasnt done the trick for me

gerico · 17 Jul 2014 at 19:01

**** Update ****

Ok so I'm still trying to solve my boot issues but in the meantime I thought I'd post a shot of the new mouse I kindly got given by my wife as an early birthday present. Even in-keeping with the orange I got going on!

I'm moving house soon so I'm not sure I'll get to spray the parts I'm going to mod before I go. I'll try post some shots of the rig itself soon enough. Might be looking at getting Dave to do me some new custom braids to jazz this baby up.

WalderX · 18 Jul 2014 at 17:35

Sweet mouse dude!

gerico · 19 Jul 2014 at 19:14

**** Update ****

Ok so I got around to trying some spray on the fan and cpu cooler ring. However... I took a shot at some spray and the colour is off, doesn't match the vapor-x all that closely.. Not too worried, I think I've found a closer match but thought I'd show you guys how bright it is

Whoops...

Yeh ok, it's a ridiculously bad match. Buttttt spraying things is cool.

Very colourful
