[Build Log] Schuhart's Jar

Tinypic has been giving me hell. I have no idea how to use flicker to simply link to a picture.


Anyways.... ASRock p67 Extreme4 is RMA'd.... Here's what I'm replacing it with:



Sorry for the pic size guys. Tinypic fails about 95% of the time when I upload a file. I'm not resizing lol. Anyways, the board is amazing. I'm running 4.9ghz (still have to figure out how to get 5ghz stable). I'll need to find another project to use my Extreme4 for.


I also wanted to post a pic of the I/O shield plate; it's insulated!





I'll take some more pics when I have a chance. I should be getting my new video cards this week, so I'll post pics then. I don't feel like moving the rig back and forth for pics since it's running.

Alright, so I have the cards in, but the 3way sli bridge will not work in the configuration I want:


This is what I actually wanted to do:



The first card was hitting 102C in Metro 2033. I need 1 slot worth of space. I'll be ordering an SLI bridge tonight.

I also purchased a lampron touch. I absolutely love this thing. I wanted the Aquaero x5, but for my needs, I just wanted to control fan speed. I have big fingers and this touch screen is super easy to use and fast.


I also have more work to do. There's no cable management so far, so I'll have to spend an hour or two tidying it up:

Don't know if it's lights, but tubing seems looking bad / not too clear. Maybe it's worth to use some colored one eg. black? And do you have to use those 90deg fittings on res? Some pre-bent with hot water and spring tubing won't work there?

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Yeah, the masterleeker tubing is not super clear. I wasn't sure what to get. I needed 16/10mm tubing and it was easier to order this stuff.

I just wanted to shiny copper finish throughout. I just think it looks nicer. I might end up replacing the tubing, but not anytime soon. I really don't feel like breaking the loop down. Bleeding the res was a real pain.

Can you recommened any good tubing? Tygon perhaps?

WC the vga cards too bro :>

All clear tubing will cloud up.
I'd say use black or maybe white tubing to bring out the shiny copper

I'd like to, but not enough money. I can't justify spending really anymore. I made one last big purchase and that's basically all I can spend, lol. I actually wanted these cards to be on air.

Maybe I'll do WCing cards next time... the cost is just so high.

The white would look nice, although it wouldn't fit with the theme of the board (black and red). The ASRock would look sweet w/ white tubing though.

Maybe I'll use nano XP to make the water milky white? That has crossed my mind a few times.

[hillywav]

universal VGA kinda cheap today.. come on lol

Here's the reason I didn't WC the cards. I wanted to spend my money here instead!



I need to organize my desk better,but its ok for now. Fitting two 30" monsters is difficult. I may wallmount them when all is said and done.

I need to do some wire management and maybe get some dye, not sure yet.

very smart. Beer and milk is important

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

It's actually NO-Xplode w/ water.

That's good beer though. I had a bottle of Krostrizer, but I drank that, so had to bring out my second fav.

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Here's a little wire management I finally got around to doing. Not the best, but never claimed to be!


(I did plug in that other moxel after taking the shot, don't worry.)

Here's a shot of the inside. Almost done. I need to paint the Bluray drive.


That extra moxel went to my now half dead Lamptron FC Touch. RMAing tomorrow.

I finally finished the build. I'll be taking a few pics later to show you how it looks.

I was also thinking of buying some dye for the water. I am not sure if I even should bother or what type. The white milk looking nano fluid XP was on my mind. I just don't know yet.

[miptzi]

and we are still waiting them.... lol

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

I finally got around to taking pics.

I also decided to weigh the case. I knew it was heavy. The cause is not easy to carry, despite having a hole in the back. It weighs 57.8 lbs, about 25.25 kg!

Here's what you've been waiting for:




Here's my helper, who's usually behind the scenes.


I have no idea how she can sit on the portch all day. It's well over 100F out there!

Well, that's it, project over. Well, not quite. I am considering adding dye to the loop. Still not sure.

Have a happy 4th of July everyone!

Nice build dude . Rad at the bottom looks a tight fit!


Know what you mean about the dye - you need to do something to hide the discoloured tube. Everything else matches in really well. Looks almost stock

I lucked out with the blue cables matching the blue SLI bridges. I figured I have 2, why not use both!?

That's masterleeker tubing. Don't buy that. I can't believe they even sell it. Oh well.

I'm still thinking white nano fluid XP as it should really stop any cloudy look. A translucent dye might just look as bad.

[PiLsY]

How about use some of that braid and sleeve the tubing? May fit in quite well with your build too.

I use Masterkleer black/uv blue and the plasticiser literally pours out of it. XSPC tubing (only used UV orange but theyre likely all the same) has been the best ive used for low leeching.

[NKrader]

looks good bro!
if your gona get new tube just get the primoflex. its awesome and mine stayed clear for more than a year. untill i tore down to upgrade

I've been benching my rig. Finally maxed it out w/ safe settings.
