Hello everybody !
I just ordered the new i7 2500k and the MSI P67-GD65




Some news soon, when the package arrives

[ScottALot]

I didn't know motherboards came in chocolate... must be really bright lighting.

(I do like the Gigabyte extra layer of PCB so it's truly black if you've seen that)

And i love the trend of many oncoming P67 boards from different vendors being of black PCB.

[franklin5252]

That some nice stuff there.

[etiennedefqvx]

Thank you !

Some news now :
* First, I changed the 2500k I had for a 2600k (mine was bad, 1.36 @ 4.5 :/),
* I bought the two 6950 cards (will be flashed with 6970 bios !),

And ...

Thanks again to Aquatuning for sponsoring this project !


Here are some pics of the new parcel arrived today :






My curious cat :












And there, the big monster from Phobya :


Well, this week end will for sure be a nice one !

[etiennedefqvx]

Today, fitting of the big 420 Phobya radiator on the top of the case.
Because of the Power and Reset buttons, I can't put the rad on the top ... I have to let few centimeters. That's why I made something to hang the radiator. And now, the radiator is not mooving at all, it is like stuck

Now, picture time !




Two metal plates :




The top cutted to allow the two plates to pass behind :



And then, the rivetted plates and the radiator fixed :





Tomorrow, the window and the top

[Johnny87au]

Nice update, wonder how that cpu blocks runs ?

[etiennedefqvx]

Hello guys !

Here are some updates !!
New fixation for the 420 radiator, it's cleaner, I prefer this one.





Here are the 6970 blocks !




The water colorant which will be used


Full stock W7 performance indice (CPU @ 3.4, 6970 cf, 1600 c9, SSD Adata, etc ...) :



And for the most curious, there you'll see how is the computer actually running ^^ :

Here a picture showing the CPU block after sanding :


And finaly, here's today update, with the 140 radiator handled.










Small present, here shows what should be the computer in few days

[etiennedefqvx]

Some news :
Here is a new part, used to hold the tank. My idea is to hide the tank's bottom with its fittings and tubes, allowing to show only the plexiglas cylinder inside the case !


The same part pierced and mounted with two 3.2mm rivets :

[aRkangeL]

Looks nice mate...

Go forword!

[etiennedefqvx]

Thank's !

But it looks like i'm in the wrong section ... ? Should not this thread belong to Liquid cooling Work logs ? Can I change it ?


Ok, here we go for today's step.
What are we going to do ? The plexiglas holder !
The issue is the high between the bottom of the PCI bracket and the top of the bottom fan of the front (yes you read right ) !


So how to hold this plexiglas horizontal ?
I choosed to do this :








Also don't forget you can see all the mod's picture there :

[etiennedefqvx]

Today's step : Add a LCD thermometer to yesterday's metal holder for the plexiglas

After quite long time spending with the file and my arm, if finaly goes on

Place to the pictures :

[Johnny87au]

Yes you can change it just pm shazza

[etiennedefqvx]

Thanks Johnny

That's done.

[etiennedefqvx]

Update of the day :thumb:


The second thermometer with its LCD is added to the metal sheet :






Also, some others updates without pics :
-Cutting the bottom for the 140 rad and fan (hole allowing air to get out)
-Cutting the top left to allow the tubes to get in and out of the 420 radiator
-Removing the top right metal sheet (what was it for, idk )

So I am now waiting for the Bitspower fittings !
I will paint the case in white in few days.


Don't hesitate to tell me what do you think about it !

And thank's for the section changement !

[etiennedefqvx]

Some teaser, no holding, it's not final at all, just to imagine how it'll be !
