Mid Plate Primed and Ready for Paint:



Paint station:






None of these are really even close to being finished with paint.

I just bought a new motherboard..now was the time, and after a whole day of thinking about it, I did it.

I bought the ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution.

More pics tomorrow..

[masik]

sick, got the same case some your components. I had a P6TSE and wanted to upgrade a little, but ended up buying P6X58D Premium. Just out of the curiosity, don't you think you painted the parts too early?
I mean you going to be working on the case and the parts you painted will scratch, chip etc.... Just my observation... Don't mean to offend.

[masik]

oops

[jellyrole]

No, I already have part placement all planned out in my head, so I think I'll be fine. Bought the MIPS fullcover block and mosfet blocks today off a member here, all my stuff should be in by next week.

Sub'ed! Keep them coming!

I've been watching!

Considering this is all 1 loop, which plate should I use on the EK block?

[century child]

Nice paint work! And the EK compressions mixed with the BP angles look great too. Much better than I would have expected. If I may make one observation, there's room for improvement with the sleeving for the fans. That stuff you are using is just too loose and looks cheap. Otherwise, top notch

Edit- about the plate, just leave the #1 plate in as the flow impact is relatively negligible.

I would probably start with the stock plate. Not a big difference in temps between it and the P1 but significant difference in flow.

Everything is a comprise so cpu temp vs flow.

Major, plate 1 is now the stock plate thanks to Vapor's testing and recommendations from him as well as several others here.

OH.....lol

Mine came with P3 intalled

[century child]

Yes, these were originally shipped with plate 3 as stock but as Vapor's tests showed, the flow hit was negligible compared to the performance gained so Eddy changed the stock plate to number 1 as of about a month and a half or so ago.

Damn, nice colors Jelly, love the MoBo tray...

This is how it came from Performance-PCs, so I'm fine with it. I have some MDwhatever sleeving coming in for those cable extensions I posted a picture of ealier. I figured why sleeve the power supply, when you can sleeve extension cables and keep them forever?

Okay, thanks, I'll just leave whatever plate is installed already then.

Thanks!

Nice I am using the same paint cans for my TJ07 Build as well, works awesome . I am doing a whole black and white theme . Hey what grit are you using to scuff up the parts? 400 or something less? And did you do any wet sanding to the finished pieces or no?

[jellyrole]

I believe its 150 grit and no wet sanding. Paint and done.

[jellyrole]

I'm new to compressions and can't get it to screw all the way unless I put a ton of force to do so.



Is this correct? The tubing is all the way over the barb and touching the part below the threads.

[Camaroz06]

Hi Jelly,
Do you have in mind how you are going to route the tubing for the motherboard blocks/CPU?

[jellyrole]

Yea, planned out in my head.

[jellyrole]

Can someone please answer my question about compression fittings 3 posts up?^^
