An update:

Now that I've gotten it to fit properly I wonder why I couldn't when I tried the first time? I can even use it to secure both of them but the leverage doesn't seem as beneficial as it's only (mostly) lifting up the Sapphire card so I just left that as is because while it is drooping just a bit, it's nothing like the DCII.

So next up will be the cabling, new hoses and compression fittings. Second time one of the clamps somehow loosened and pissed blue onto my card.

Terronium 12, Nice looking rig. Nice and clean, good job. I thought it should fit. Before this card, I had a Gigabyte 6950 with 3 fans on it. It was like 11.5" long. I had to use it. It sure helps. Nice wiring job, real clean. I notice you haven't modded the CPU cut out. I have been thinking about doing mine. I'm tired of pulling the motherboard. very nice set up.

Michael, Very nice job on the rig. I like how the mobo hides most all the caps and stuff. Seems when you redo the fittings you can shorten some of the hoses up as well. Not a bad overclock on your i5 as well. All an all a most impressive rig. One of these days I will jump into a full waterboarded system....hey it's not just for gaming terrorists anymore.

Thanks guys. Although I'm not entirely sure what Bill is up to over there.

I'm definitely going to cut the tubing to length this time. Not sure how I'm going to fit a 140 rad in the case though, that is unless I go for a thin low profile one.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Terronium- Nice setup mate!! I already have so many ideas on how to change the tubing haha,it looks great!

Got a nice upgrade in the works for my build, largely centred on CPU. I hope to free up some existing parts I use for a second lower grade build I can use to various other things.

Gonna make the step to ivy bridge, go for a 3770k to replace my 2600k, get a Asus p8z77-v Deluxe motherboard to go with it. Ill upgrade the psu slightly from a Corsair HX650 to AX650, and for cooling im tossing up between the corsair hydro series, but the h100 looks nice . Gonna be costly though...about 1.3 grand here in NZ...

What do ya think?

You can save about $100 maybe by going with an i5-3570K and for about the same money for a AX650 you could get a HX750.

note: My cpu is overclocked to 4.4 Ghz w/speed step disabled my ram is manually set to its rated speeds of 8-9-8-24 @ 1600 mhz (1.65 v) i read good things about the patroit viper extreme D-2 so im going to try to oc it to 1866 most likely @ cl9 if im lucky 8-10-8-27 or close.

Damage, nice rig. You should be able to overclock your ram to 1866 no prob. See my post here. http://www.sevenforums.com/overclocking-case-mods/2309-post-your-overclock-187.html#post1967664

I currently have the HX650, I don't need a bigger PSU its rather that the other rig the parts are going to needs one and ive always wanted fully modular, i.e. corsairs AX series. Also I rank the CPU very highly in a build and having a "second" Cpu to to speak would bug the hell out of me. It comes from when I first wanted my own custom built, when I believed the CPU was the sole important component and wanted the best one I could get, regardless of what else had to be dropped for this, hence why I ended up with a 2600k but only a geforce 210 for a year until I could upgrade. back to the point, knowing my CPU didnt have hyper threading would annoy me so much and I would always have a niggling to upgrade it.

A good suggestion I would also advise to many, but given my situation I think its a "safer" choice.

I have buy CM Hyper 101 cpu cooler, and mounted it. Here is picture from my rig inside.

 

[essenbe]

Nice job StalkeR, that is cool (pun intended).

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks Steve.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Stalker-Welldone!, do you think you will be able to add another fan on that cooler?

 

[StalkeR]

Stalker-Welldone!, do you think you will be able to add another fan on that cooler?

Well yes, I was thinking to that also. I have behind cpu cooler one 80mm spire fan, and I was thinking to mount it on the heatsink, but I don't have screws to do that.
And I was thinking something else... If I buy 4pin fan, I don't have another 4pin connector on the mobo. It seems that I need to buy 3pin fan, to go with full speed always.

Hello I looked pictures here and people have so nice computers.After that i looked inside my case and terrible"snake nest" there, wires all over the case.So i started to do something for that and made wiring again. Now its not perfect but better than before. sadly i didnt take picture before cleaning. but now it looks like this.. few pictures..

 

[Terronium 12]

I demand you give me that 690.
