Show Us Your Rig [4]

[carwiz]

Man, you folks are too annal. You make my PC look like a cardboard box full of wire.

 

[Britton30]

LOL Ken, we aren't anal, just crazy with some OCD thrown in.

 

[Bungee18]

Gary is right, it is something we suffer, a disease!

OCD = Optimal Cable Direction

And I am anal and proud of it, not to mention insane (I inherited it from my children).

Excellent job, Juan. Very well done indeed. What reservoir and pump are you using? It looks fantastic.

Carwiz, it's an illness and an addiction, but it makes us happy. So it's not all bad. The broke part is bad, but that's part of the game, I guess. Oh, and I forgot the part about Wives loving it too. :roflmao:

Here's my new build.

Are there LEDs?

Looks just like the backside of my rig!
I agree with Bill, it is definitely missing some LEDs!

Thank you Steve!!!

The pump is a Laing Termotech DDC 3.2 TP PWM4 (Swiftech MCP35X) and the reservoir is an XSPC DDC Acrylic reservoir.
I chose this pump 'cause it can be controlled by the mobo, which I think is great.

Cheers,

J

Really nice build you've got there Bungee. Very good job mate.
I would suggest you connect the 4 pin molex near the PCIE lanes though as you're running 2 gpu's. It helps with the power to the pcie lanes. I ran mine for a few months without it connected with no problems as such but as soon as i connected it games ran a lot smoother. It made no difference in benching though.

Excellent build mate

lmao! @ OCD = Optimal Cable Direction

 

[paulpicks21]

Well, here are the pics.
It took a lot of time and effort, but it is running and OC'ed.
Ran some benchmarks and stability apps, and I'm just amazed at how well it runs, how cool it runs, and how smooth Crysis3 runs on the new video cards.

Steve and Alsis, thanks a lot for your help and advice. It really made everything a lot easier.

Cheers,

J

P.S.: After seeing what Lady F did with her cables I do not dare to upload pics of the backside...

WOW Bungee!

That is totally awesome mate!

Was it you me and Steve were talking about a while back when we said be careful not to catch the "upgrade" bug, and I said he might have already caught it?

I think I might have been right there :roflmao:

It really is a fantastic job you have done there, and one of the nicest looking rigs I have seen in a while


Paul.

Be careful Bungee, that machine looks like a wild animal, don't turn your back on it!
What do you do in your spare time, are you a lion tamer? LOL
That's a tremendous machine! Congrats!

 

[Bungee18]

Ryan, Paul, Dallas, thank you for your comments!

@Paul, thanks a lot mate, and you are absolutely right: I caught it bad! In a way this is my fourth build since late November. I just can't stop!
Yes it was Steve, Ryan and yourself that said that I caught the bug, and boy were you right...

@Ganjiry, thanks for your comment and advice. I'm one of those people that still thoroughly reads manuals, so I connected the PCIe 4 pin molex from the go. Actually I connected every single power connector, 8 pin eps, 4 pin eps and 4 pin molex. Looks like all these power options provide increased stability, the board OC's like a beast. I got my CPU to 4.8GHz in like 7 minutes, 100% stable (well a couple of hours of p95 and 20 passes of IBT). Core temp never goes above 47C, socket temp 55C.
Thanks again.

@Dallas, it does look like a beast doesn't it? Thanks for you comments!

Cheers,

J

 

[ganjiry]

Thats sound then mate. I thought you hadn't connected it as in the pic its not
Excellent build mate and nice oc too.

 

[Britton30]

Here's my new build.

Wow Ken I have two just like that!

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Juan,
Your rig is just flat outa-sight ! You've worked very hard and all of it has really paid off. Great job and yes more pictures would be welcome anytime !

 

[kbrady1979]

Bungee, that rig is absolutely stunning. That's all I can say about it.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Thanks, Bungee!

You are welcome.
Maybe you can put together some tutorials on cable management?

LOL! Managing the cables in case doesn't make me an expert. Btw, I failed to mention, that is a fantastic job you did on your rig! I have no desire to OC or go underwater (partially due to cowardice). And I'll bet the backside doesn't look nearly as bad as you say.

 

[boohbah]

not my rig unfortunately , thought i would share it with you build geeks anyway...

nice job kaxtos

build progress...
