Kinda miss the blue UV look (Liquid is UV but don't know if I will bother lighting it now), but I think I prefer it as it is, the crystal clear red along with the black case gives a very nice and classy finish imo. Very chuffed with how it turned out, still haven't bothered changing the graphics card or get myself an SSD, mainly because of costs, but I don't really need either atm. My graphics card is however quite buggy and I experience random issues which not only affect my stability tests when overclocking but also in some games. I did email BFG several times however at the rate they were responding I will be dead before I get a new one, I still haven't received a reply after emailing them twice, and that was about a month ago. Ever since BFG left the European market their customer service has gone straight down the pan tbh.
Enjoyed building her over the 8 odd months that the build went on for, spent more money that I initially planned but I don't regret it at all, best computer I have ever had!
The motherboard is just amazing, so, so many features and tweaking options, runs very stable and overclocks very well (don’t have a golden CPU though), it also comes with exceptional BIOS and community support, the only thing I would fault the board at would be the cooling, with stock heatsinks temps reached 75/65 on the IOH/ICH respectively, with the new EK block, temps don’t really go above 33. My first watercooled build and certainly won’t be my last, I love not only the difference in makes on temps but also it just looks kick ass.
The Memory is also very good, managed to get some very good results with them, they didn’t want to go over the stock 2GHz but I managed to get them to run on much lower volts and get some tight timings out of them.
The main annoyance in my build was the Enermax Revolution PSU, which I had to have replaced 2-3 times, can’t even remember! First one just died, and I think the other 2 had clicking fans, the fan in this one started clicking but has now recovered itself! Other than that the PSU is superb, looks fantastic, has tons of head room and comes with great customer service.
I also love the apache fans, hence why I bought a total of 7 of them, they are very quiet but shift a fair amount of air, they are also built exceptionally well.
Overall I am extremely happy and truly appreciative of the build I have and will most certainly get the most out of her!
