*** The New Cases Gallery ***

..Really do need to get a proper decent camera, but until then:

ARG! This is exactly the cooler setup I've been considering! Had asked about the Megahalems in another thread. Looks brilliant, how does it perform for you??

It looks the part, but cooling performance is average, in fact my £20 Raijintek Themis was better by 3c during prime testing.

..but in normal gameplay usage it keeps my 4690k below 70c no matter how stressed in the latest games like Battlefield 4, GTA V & The Witcher, so its 'good enough'.

That's probably because the Themis uses a better fan. Assuming you're using the AF120, which are intended as case fans. For rads you want the Corsair SP120 for example.

AF120's!!!....Nay sir, nay, I'm using the proper SP120's in a push pull config..how dare you, you thinks I is an amateuuur :D
 
Ah sorry... Forgot about that, literally just finished it all.

Asus RIVE IV
i7 4930k @4.625GHZ
16GB Hyperx Beast RAM @1666mhz (Any ideas on how to clock up? stock speed is 1600mhz)
2x AMD R9 270x's hopefully the 390 when a month has passed for some reviews.
250GB Evo SSD
120GB Kingston SSD
along with 3TB Mech storage.

In terms of the watercooling I'm currently overkill for just the CPU with 1x 240mm, 1x 360mm, and a 480mm in the loop, but am ready to put the 390 under water when it is out and when I have one!

I ended up modding the HDD rack on top of the radiator (No screws!) because I didn't want to have them up back, plus it gave me somewhere for the pump, which for the first time is on show, as the other cases have all been dual chamber.

My first ever 'proper' build! Happy to listen to any advise/recommendations as to how I can improve the rig :)

I have a NZXT H440 case, I did have a Corsair H110i GT cooler however disappointingly am sending it back to OCUK as it does not fit the case due to the way the H440 is moulded at the top.

Pics are a little dark as were taken with my phone -



Specs are:
Geforce Titan Z
I7 4690K
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W PSU
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600Mhz RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler
MSI H81M-P33 LGA1150 M-ATX Motherboard
256 SSD

Nice marcus, any reason you went with a H97 mobo ?

My mistake (thats in my other PC), I have a MSI H81M-P33 LGA1150 M-ATX Motherboard

Just realised these can be picked up now for as little as £35. Perhaps time to find a new white motherboard, if such a thing exists :)
