What started out largely as just a new mobo/CPU/GPU into my existing rig as a bog standard upgrade for Elite 4 has sprouted arms and legs as instead I've ended up with a hankering to do a new project over the next month or so. It's an evolution of my previous build, that some of you may remember, with the Cape Cora tubes on my old TJ07. This time though I'm also going to go with a slim 360 radiator in the roof for additional cooling when required.
The Case:-
Pulse Modding TJ07 with powder coated internals, modded for a 360rad in the roof, mesh style to match the original
The PC:-
Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition (still to come)
Intel i7-4930K
4x 4GB Samsung Green RAM
2x Gigabyte 780Ti
Creative ZxR
2x Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520W
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB
Samsung 840 Evo 1TB
Pioneer BDR-S08XLT
The loop:-
Koolance CPU-380i on the CPU
EK-FB RE4BE on the motherboard (still to come)
EK-FC 780 Ti - Acetal on the GPUs, complete with backplate and Terminal Dual Parallel (still to come)
Aquacomputer D5 + EK-D5 X-Top CSQ
EK-Bay Single Res CSQ
22x Cape Cora HF
Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 360 radiator, complete with Noiseblocker BN-Blacksilent Pro fans
Masterkleer 11/8mm tubing
Matt black and nickel fittings
Koolance black QD3 quick disconnects
Mayhems Pastel Pure Black or Ice White
Monitoring/control:-
Aquaero 5 LT
Aquacomputer MPS Flow 400 flowmeter
In line temperature sensors and external sensors
2x socket power monitors
I've still got a couple of decisions to make, I already have the pair of 290X GPUs but these may get replaced by 780Ti cards depending on the outcome of reviews later this week, particularly around overclocking power consumption/performance figures.
The motherboard block also may not fit, not overly concerned about the SB which won't get particularly hot anyway, but the power regulators can be critical for maintaining stability with high CPU voltage so I'm keen to watercool these so if the block doesn't fit I may need to look at alternatives or wait until a dedicated black edition block comes out.
Also undecided whether to go with the pure black Mayhems or for the contrast in the bay reservoir go with the ice white which presumably will also by a lot clearer to make out the level.
Pics to follow!
