Lol I know but it all just fits in

And thanks guys

Now I'm really happy with my first build

 

[StalkeR]

Looks great !

 

[linnemeyerhere]

GhostDog99,
That is quite the first build! I would love to see green tint in the GPU loop and red or blue in the CPU and mobo loop. But it's a crazy nice build and I'll bet it performs top notch. You must have labored over the build for a long time to get it to this point......great work !

fairplay! looks good. u must b mad though to attempt a water cooled first build. i wouldnt know where to start. ive only recently sussed air cooled.

as linnemeyerhere says, it would look well smart with either colored tubes or the liquid itself

good job though braver than me

thanks mate

the cpu loop is red
but the gpu loop it clear becuase i read it is not good to add coler to the loop
and i added the red in the cpu loop befor i read it lol but im just happy it all works
cpu oc to 4.5GHz lod tamp are 68c
gpu oc to 960 2100 lod tamps on both are 48c

lol i started with are too if you see the first pictures but after i was gating
tamps of 80c - 90c on my cpu whan i oc
and temps of 90c-95c on my gpu with no oc

it was a no breaner

 

[GhostDog99]

some more pictures

 

[ganjiry]

eeeww 80-90c not good. i was'nt happy with a cpu temp of 65c. u live on the sun?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

GhostDog99,
So what temps are you getting now for comparison?

 

[GhostDog99]

eeeww 80-90c not good. i was'nt happy with a cpu temp of 65c. u live on the sun?

lol you can say so i moved from new york to israel a couple of years a go
anbd it is really hot here

80-90c on load whan i Overe Clocked the cpu to 4.5
and now with thw water cooling its 68c on load

and that is really good on intel thay say max good tameps for 980x is 70c
and max good VCore is 1.375
and that is what i got now i OC to 4.5GHz and im in the safe zone so it is good for me

 

[ganjiry]

nice drop then all good

I hope this is the right place to post this. Step one is complete gentlemen, i have purchased and recently received the ram im gonna slap in my new mobo and cpu set up. 8 gigs of g skill ddr3 1600 ram. im set on purchasing an i5 2500k. the only thing im really torn on is the mobo. its between these 2: Newegg.com - ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard and Newegg.com - ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS. thoughts? suggestions? alternatives? please, do tell.

 

[LiquidSnak]

I would go with an ATX board, instead of a micro, if you can fit it, just for the separation between components.

 

[ganjiry]

agreed! i had a mATX board to start with and there is just no room on em. more room more airflow

Here's some new shots - finally got the DVI adapter needed to make my 7950 GX2 come alive.
My cable management might have been slightly hampered by installing the card, but I'll fix it up when I've the time. The 7950 GX2 may be a few generations behind, but it's the up there with the cream of the crop at most modern games still. Better yet, I got it for free from work so...yeah, woot.

I've just ordered some blue LED strips and a 120mm blue led fan for the side panel, so in a few weeks time, the internal lighting is going to be awesome. B-)

Also, sorry for the quality of these photos (Phone Camera much -_-)

Comment's greatly apprieciated.

Nothing too OTT. Would love to do water Cooling but just cant afford it. May save up for a little or mid sized SSD but I only have 3gbs Sata.

Inside, I Only Just did this and found no Change in the Temps at all. lol
As you can see temps are in control.
Although My main Sata is a Caviar Black edition still 5.9
Oh well. Hope too get a nice SSD.

Wow How many Fans I count 8 in total, I dont like the Fact that the PSU is at the bottom, I know that they can get a little hot and 120mm fans are needed but your stealing Cold are for your system. And any redundant hot air will goto the CPU area. Also if you have a Case like that, Stock Coolers are shockingly Shi*e and I never use. Other than that its how you see it, U like like it have it.

Thanks for your comment, mrdemon. Well regarding fans, there's a 140mm roof fan, a 120mm rear fan, and a 120mm front fan. If you include the fans in the GPU Cooler, CPU, etc - then that's about 6 fans. The PSU is only floor mountable in the Antec One Hundred Case, but personally, I prefer it that way as it helps exhaust the GPU heat. And by stock coolers, if you mean the CPU cooler, then my temps are always very low - never hitting more than 40 C even under load. If you mean the system fans, they're actually very efficient Antec TwoCool fans, with selectable fan speeds that keep my system temperature very low.

But yeah, like you said - if you like it, have it.

Well I ment the CPU cooler, Could not stand the One that came with my i7 and then I got the same thing when I downgraded.... I always like too look into My PC and show people that I know that arnt into PC's as much whats what, Explaining what things do so forth.
