maybe samo update? :P
What have you done?
Any fault in the wiring or what?
Leakage of your experience is probably not an option.
I wonder what could've happened with the cpu :shrug:
But if I'm not wrong Malik used the Bitfenix cable extenders and did not sleeve the PSU so if nearly impossible that something was caused from the cables mmm :shrug:
I'm sorry to read those bad news Malik. Hope the GPU and the mobo are OK :up:
Did you have some tension failure at home or outages from the electricity source?
I think that was a reason of this crash. I was back from clinic to home, push power and ... PUFF PUFF from secure bar where was PC connected. BS, no post, so i decide to check all. First was corsairs: 2 dead, 4 was ok. Now im waiting for new cpu ( intel i7 960 ) and i will check mobo, today i will check gpu ... ehhh truth live
RIP :O ?
what are you do with parts? :) you use it as a fotball ball ? :D
no, i used my dentist stuff to mod LC :D
For now im sitting on my backup pc :)

I know what Malik will have a new for PC :D Rip = replacement to better :D
but quietly.... :cool: I can't say what :p:
Hey malik, could you tell me how hard it was to get the top panel off for cutting the radiator hole? were there many pop rivets to take out and were they hard to put back in?, you've inspired me to get this case and put a 420mm radiator up the top aswell :D
I'm guessing that this is gonna be some new Sandy Bridge platform. Most probably from Asus cuz it makes the most good looking motherboards in meaning of quality and it fits the color theme ;-)
Are u gonna change the psu to the one i suggested or the antec one remains?
hehe, nice small pc :P
That is very simple. you have two rivets on front, two on back, three on right side. About 10 min work :)
Antec stay, s1366 stay ( if mobo is ok ).
UPDATE:
Back to the game :)
New cpu and everything is working, and i found cause of this crash...

So, here is answer... what was in this box:
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc89209rp4.jpg
Good to see it has arrived :)
black is always a better choice :)
really nice fractal :)
Some news from work:
1. Aquaero, some mini mods.
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc90100772.jpg
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc90074703.jpg
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc9020u7i8.jpg
Waiting for asus m4e block and second gpu and block. So soon big update.
Look forward to the update and more of your smexy pics :)
Btw Malik, the top rad is the EK Coolstream XT 420 yes?
Malik, what kind of fittings will you be able to fit in the Aquaero block? it seems to tiny for compression ones for me but I could be wrong of course.
No problem with fittings 10/16mm
Aquaero 5 is working :)

Pics, as usual, are the perfect ...
Amazing.
I really like the layout and bundles of PCIE cables,correct only 24pin...
One more thing ... SLI bridge, maybe this version
will be more fit?
Ofc painted matte black.
http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4700/slibridge.jpg
Try this instead works like a charm, just use some black film to put on it. They come in Glossy, Matte, and different colors.. You can find them on ebay or at MNPCTECH Store
Your system is really looking awesome :clap:
He could just spray paint it. I"ve painted my crossfire ribbon cables white. They look fantastic I think.
that's look amazing malik!!
but where is the waterblock of the M4E?
Fantastic rig and stunning shots as always Malik! :up:
Keep up good work!
for example...

The SLI bridge is a different color (in my opinion) to give a break in the uniform color scheme of the whole project. You may not realize it now, but if he had made his sli bridge black you would have looked right over it and nothing(other than the awesome craftsmanship and equipment) would have caught your eye. I think he meant to do it that way. I may be wrong tho.
I like your combo of black, nickel and red
You may have posted this before, but what is the coolant, or dye you are using?
And your build looks SaWeet!!!!
Ok guys some little update:
1. New psu from Antec ( big thanks :) )

... and few more parts which are on way to me.
Impressive malik like always. Can't wait to see more.
Loving the blood red dye.
Malik, any chance of changing the Aquaero 's screen "color"?
Parallel connection instead of a serial
looks much better :up:
The flow is also better with this change, right?
Beautiful camera work as usual :up:
As always, beautiful.
Really nothing else can be said =P
wow really malik!? man beautiful as always, can you post a picture of your cable management behind the mobo?
also those bitspower fittings how come the logo is not gold? Is it just Photoshopped?
btw what size tubing do you use malik?
nvm I saw that it was 3/8 x 5/8, when you do compression fittings what size do you get?
you have set a new definition for the words "constant Upgrades"
and i mean both beautifully, and part wise!
hi malik
how did you manage to bring out the red in your photos?
what software you use?
it's probably more the camera than software.
if you want a software that will do it though, http://www.getpaint.net is an awesome photoshop clone, and it's free.
btw malik what kind of fans are you using the rear exhaust fan as well as your radiator fans? You mentioned Gelid when you had the blue set up...not sure whati t is now.
oh and thanks a bunch for answering my question a page back much appreciated!
I would also like to know what grill this is
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc81000m7j.jpg
Looks like Phobya.
which pump are you using in your current build malik? and how is?
beautiful as always malik! :D

- ekwb block for Asus M4E
- new psu
- cover ( in progress )
- custom window
Any significant change in the flow?
I wonder EK comparison with the previous current solution.
Why change the AX850?
This is high quality power supply.
very sexy mate , impressed
Malik turns everything he touches into art.
There was one 420 in this city ;)
Ok, one package arrived today... with very funny shipping info :D

Bitfenix make really nice cable extension. I think that if you don't want to spend time sleeving your cables they're the best option.
Where are you going to put the lights?
MalikI guess there is Carbon Fiber vinil on the PSU.
Anyway ... pics are the work of art.
I have the impression that this photo is your vocation and not dentistry ;)
I knew I should have gone into dentistry rather than medicine!
Anyway, what music is that playing in the background of your wix website?
Its called The XX "The XX" album intro

what radiator are you using? most i find are too thick to be mounted internally like that
First i wanted to mount ekwb 420 radiator. But after few days about how i can mount this rad - i give up :( It's to big for this case. So i try with other rads and and only these mc rads fit perfectly. The thickness of the radiator allows you to mount the normal fan (25mm), but there is nothing on the motherboard - and this is the most important advantage of this design radiator. In addition, the radiator body as the only fit perfectly to the anchorages in this case. Radiator is mounted on the front without any drilling or cutting holes. Hence the decision to choose these radiators. Temperatures are satisfactory. The LC system copes perfectly with waste heat.
Aquaero 5 info pages:

CPU and GPU temps:
http://www.abload.de/thumb/deskmspn.jpg
Yes, here you have link: Magicool radiators 140mm
I used 420 and 280.
What camera do you use? I'm starting my first ever big build this summer. I was originally going to ask a friend who's into photography to help me get some pictures but I wouldn't mind doing them myself.
I use a Nikon d90 with multiple lenses. Starting from the standard 18-105 lens, i use a macro 90/f2.8 and 35/f1.8, 50/1.4
Of course, obligatory tripod and Nikon Speedlight SB-900 ;)
your cable management and your everything management is pretty badass
Correct me if im wrong, But did you remove the drive bays hard drive cages and midsection from the fractal Design xl case? Not using a optical drive?
Malik, did you end up using the Aquaero 5 waterblock? If so can we get some pics of how you set it up?
At the moment there is no connected aquaero water block, because it will be in another place. Only then did it inclusion in the circuit. But I do not see any problem with that to connect it.
For now - water block mounted on the motherboard, ekwb easy mount for cpu plus ekwb backplate. In the end I can say that all liquid cooling parts are mounted.
Now the system looks like this ...

Really beautiful work... :clap:
damn I can only dream that my build will look just as a good as yours malik, you are a great inspiration! That is certainly a beauty!
btw do you video cards sag a little? Mine with the block + backplate sags a lil, I can't tell in your pictures. If it does sag how did you get it to straighten out?
Yeah, the EKWB SLI connector helps to create a single solid structure out of two cards, instead of two seperate cards, so they sag less ;).
with the added mobo block, how are your temps now?
Have you got a picture including the pump placement? I'm considering the case and doing it in a similar way to the TJ07. Not sure where I'd put the pump though as I'm planning on putting a quad + dual rad in the bottom with the PSU side mounted.
