Project ROG - The Beginnings

@jimbaw

Missed the royalmail delivery today :9 Hopefully get them today.

Cheers for giving me that alternative. Might look into it :). No Major Rush for the others to be sleeved. Hopefully get some pics updated soon :)
 
Im loving the GPU

I would agree it does run hotter than a lot of the R9 290x's . However, its a bit like a beautiful woman

Beautiful on the outside and hot on the inside xD

Well i have 5 140mm Intake fans so ive plenty airflow in the case so no issues
 
New asus 144hz monitor ordered.

Now to start saving between now and chrismas for 2nd gpu and i think 2 more monitors :)

Then ill consider my Watercooling options next year. Or chance my arm and try get free wc sponsor xD

James @ PexonPCs will hook you up with some sexy custom cables.

These were done with MDPC-X braiding, unfortunately this isnt available atm. I do believe James is now using stelios which is very similar.

These are not cheap btw, but the quality is amazing
 
Reason i have purchased the radiators first is as follows.

The will be painted ! :) (Below is the idea, but open to suggestions)

The bottom Loop (GPUs) will be as follows

RES>120RAD>GPU1>GPU2> 140RAD>280RAD

Clear RES with White Pastel Coolant, Radiator Will be Painted White and the Fittings Will Be Red White Acrylic Tubing

The top Loop (CPU) will be as follows

RES>CPU>MOBO>420RAD

Red RES with Red Pastel Coolant, Radiators Will be Painted Red and the Fittings Will Be White and Red Acrylic Tubing
 
Just a heads up to fit a 280 in the front of a switch you have to cut the bottom off the top drive bay out

i have a 280mm aio in the fron already. the kraken x60 its 312.5mm and is extremey snug fitting the ex280 is 320mm. so ive to only find 7.5mm room.

Will probably take a dremel to the bottom of the case were the HDD bays used to be as its slightly raised.
 
Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone.


Ill keep this updated with small amounts of progress. Im in process of saving for a new apartment deposit and rent so this is only 2nd on the list and when you need £1000 of w/c parts it sucks xD

Ill have the other 2 radiators soon, the Ex140 is out of stoock at the min. Once they arrive ill be keeping you all uipdated with the painting progress.

Likelyhood is one im in position for the full rebuild ill start a separate thread for my first w/c attempt with a lot better quality photos as well.
 
@Jim yeah mate havent had time to reply.

i hate them type fittings xd they look to bulky and i think they look bad on builds i prefer more tubbing less fittings xD but ty for offer/advise
 
Looking forward to seeing how those rads come out!

in progress. They arent 100% perfect as my first time trying. few inprefections. But with fans on etc thy will be mostly hidden. :)

Just a coat or 2 more paint and a little bit of sanding might fix a few of the imperfections :)
