Sneak Peak at my new build.

What do you all think?
The yellow circle is the over head light reflection.

Some more pictures. The computer is leaning against the wall so I could take pictures.

I will try to get some better pictures.

Looking good Jack ... Colour me Impressed

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you Mr. Nigel.

When I'm up to it, I will take some better pictures.

I do like the lighting and all the colors it can be changed to.

At the present time I'm having problems loading Windows 7 pro because it doesn't seem to like (2) M.2 with Raid (0). I have got a couple of emails that might help. I will work on the Windows 7 and Raid (0) with my M.2's tomorrow. I have been working on this for a week about 20 hours a day.
It's time for me to rest and have a couple of "Jacks". If I told all my doctors that I wasn't getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep a day them would Bewitched slap me.

The damn cat is driving me crazy. She sits on the arm of the chair I sleep in and screams at me. When I do get in the chair, she is instantly on my lap so she can go to sleep. Then she wakes me when she wants something to eat. She doesn't like me being up so many hours. She needs and wants a lap to sleep on.
She has got me trained.

Jack.

Sweet

Nice job, Jack. I'm drooling already.

And why should your cat be any different from my cat? They're all a nuisance. Mine sits on the corner of my desk and slaps the keyboard while I'm typing. I guess he wants to get in on the action. lol

Hi,
Don't forget to unleash the beast
Show us your Unigine Heaven benchmark scores!

 

[Layback Bear]

Here is some information.

PassMark test.

With the M.2
Score=5799.4
Memory=2567.8
Disk=9023.4
----------------------
With a normal SSD (Intel 530) Sata 3.0 (Clone)
Score=6072.8
Memory=2985.9
Disk=4449.9
----------------------

Not much difference except the Disk score and their is a big difference.
I Cloned with Macrium Reflect and it did recognize the M.2 as NVMe.

I'm back to tinkering.

Awesome!

How did you get windows 7 on skylake? Did you have to use a usb 3.0 driver in the installation to get it to work?

 

[Layback Bear]

The Intel 6800k is a
Intel Core i7-6800K 15M Broadwell-EI installed using a Microsoft DVD using a Sata connection.
The motherboard has USB 2.0 ports I used for the mouse and keyboard.
The motherboard DVD came with the USB 3.0 drivers that I installed after Windows 7 was installed.

I love the green LED lighting! It's looking amazing so far!

 

[Layback Bear]

I can change to several different colors with the push of a button. The RGB light function is built into the case and the motherboard.
At the present time I'm using the RGB built in light system from the Phanteks case. No programs to install and no bios to fool with.

A 6800K is a Broadwell E, not a Skylake.

The issue is not with the cpu, it`s the chipset on the board that gives you problems.

But I had no issues installing W7 on my Z170 with a dvd and using the 2.0 ports for the keyboard and mouse.
