Project: Rad In Mi Kitchen

TheCenturion · 25 Aug 2010 at 10:33

Many thanks to forum members for helping me, especially JeffyB
Thank you to 5UB as well, you've been a really great help

Case just arrived

The aim of the project is to move myself into the present, and away from pentium 4. Also, the goal is to dabble into watercooling, if I like it, I'll use it for future builds.

I'm hoping to get the side panel as well today. Then the rest of the parts will come from OcUK on Thursday or Friday, depending on when I'm free to receive them.

PC:

Asus P6X58D-E
i7 930
GTX 480
Corsair Dominator 6GB Ram
80gb intel ssd
F3 1TB
Sammy Bluray
PC-P80
Be Quiet 900W

Watercooling:

Black Ice 360
EK Clear Top
D5 pump
XSPC D5 reservoir
1/2" barbs
7/16" Tubing
Fans will be some blue led 120mm
EK gtx 480 block + back plate

Also, I'm not very handy with the camera so cut me some slack

Unboxing in a couple of hours

Stepping up from a P4 to a Rampage 3 and a 930. You're gonna love it.

I went from a socket 478 Pentium 4 HT 2.4ghz with 1gb of DDR 133mhz to an AMD 965BE 3.4ghz with 4gb of DDR3 1600mhz.

Safe to say, brix were ****...

Yeah, I ordered the case yesterday, at around 16.00. 10 mins after I ordered it, it was dispatched

Just edited the pic as it had a competitor's name in it.

I thought this case would be really heavy and difficult to get into my room. So I enlisted the help of my 10y/o brother

. I didn't need him though, and it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be.

NathWraith · 25 Aug 2010 at 11:49

Why have you posted this. I will delete your thread out of pure anger! RAWR

TheCenturion · 25 Aug 2010 at 11:50

More pics of the case to come soon. I'm going to strip it down for some hardcore lian li nudity.

I'm going to confirm my order soon, and I think I'll be watercooling the gpu

JeffyB · 25 Aug 2010 at 11:55

I think Nath may blow a fuse every time he sees this thread until his case arrives

What's wrong with that RAM? I haven't ordered yet, would you recommend a different one?

Also, I just received my 360 rad stand, so if I get a different rad, it'd have to be a 360

EDIT: with some good cfm fans surely that should be enough for the 480 and cpu?

NathWraith · 25 Aug 2010 at 12:32

Not happy, not happy at all.

Freelanc3r · 25 Aug 2010 at 12:37

I'm guessing your A* GCSE's were sufficient then.

However nice case, this'll be a nice build but perhaps it wont rival USS: Your Boy

Of course it won't rival it. But it'll be built before Your Boy

at least get an sr1 or thermochill.

the ram is ok but it looks fairly pap in a rampage 3

personally i would look at some of the dominatorgt on TWO as the red heatsinks look sweet on the rampage.

TheCenturion · 25 Aug 2010 at 12:55

Yeah, it's the sr1 I'm getting. To be honest, I'm hitting the very top of my budget at the moment, and the patriot is on offer, so I dunno if I can stretch to Dominator GT.
