Very nice job on that side window - especially done by hand!

That's not a job for the faint of heart!

[rwurdig]

Yea well done job.

[Zeus]

Thanks for the kind comments.

Cut out the Lexan window with a jigsaw:



Now i'm waiting for the paint to cure so i can stick it to the panel.

forgive my noob question, i'm usually an intel user.
i see you have a heatkiller on an AMD setup, did you use a backplate at all?

You can use the stock backplate that comes with the motherboard.

I just used the stock backplate on my Gigabyte board with my Heatkiller....

[Zeus]

That's right, i used the stock metal backplate.

I also used the mounting from my old Dtek FuZion with the springs from the Heatkiller, works a lot easier than the screws that come with the Heatkiller imo.

This is what she looks like right now:

[zeropluszero]

thanks for the info guys. like i said, i know nothing about amd, but i'm thinking i'll build an AMD htpc soon, and i'm planning to watercool it.

your build looks amazing by the way.

[Armitage]

Great looking build, makes me want to finish mine now.

[dro]

Is that a R2E heat pipe assembly?

[Zeus]

No, that is the stock heatpipe assembly for the Crosshair III Formula.

[Expat GriZ]

Absolutely Gorgeous!! Very very nice Dood....Now get down here & build one for me!!!

[dro]

oops my bad
i thought that was a M2F and you changed the heat pipe on it
sorry for the mistake there

Haven't been here in a while and what do I find?

An amazing rig. You did an amazing job m8. I'm so shocked that our systems look almost identical on the inside. The only difference is the 120mm fan you have and the res up top.

Great minds think alike

By the way, how did you mount that 120mm fan, it's ingenius.

Zeus - like the new motherboard and the HK cpu block.

what happened to the alphacool lcd you use to have? Also you planning on getting the EK fullboard block for your mb?

The Alphacool LCD had to go in favour of the Asus OC station, i still have it laying around.

I'm still unsure about getting the Fullboard block, i really like the look of it but the chipset doesn't really need the extra cooling, the mosfet could use some extra cooling though.

The block will add heat and extra restriction to the waterloop, don't know if it's worth it.

One of these days i might go crazy and order it anyway.

Next change will be swapping the Yate Loons for some 1850rpm Gentle Typhoons.

Great job man.

[darthcani]

Thanks Snipe but it was not my intention to bleed actually. I just wanted to check if the PSU was ok before starting the dreaded sleeving job. It would be really painfull to find out the PSU was doa after the sleeving job, i'd rather find out prior to that painfull job.

Talking about sleeving, i got this one finished already :



I hope to start with the sata power cables tomorrow so that i can put my build together this weekend.

Nice Job Zeus, i have a question how do you sleeve the 24atx pin cable ? i mean thats no extencion about pin orientation its diferent like 24atx original cable of the silverstone, thanks

[XKaan]

Great work!

I like the black tubing. I'm currently starting a black\white build, so it's nice to see how black tubing looks.

[Zeus]

Great job man.

Thanks.

Sorry but i don't really understand your question.

The cable in the pic you quoted is actually the 24 pin ATX cable from the PSU, no extension cable.

For sleeving, go to the "computer cases" section of this board and look for the cable sleeving guide, you'll find all the info you need there.

Great work!

I would love to have used clear Tygon but i hate the look of it after a few months of use, all cloudy and ugly.

Black stays black and looks good imo.

Once you've had black....

How is that ASUS OC station?

You go right back to white!

[disturbed13]

You go right back to white!

hello nice case u have .. i hope you post more pictures of heatkiller soon. since im interested of wc setup, especially hk 3.0.. 50 euros is very good price Im planning to put MCR320 on front in the case but I need figure out it at first how to do exactly. It is many years away before I get your skills

[Antioch]

Hey Zeus, how did you attach the Lexan window to the side panel - and what type of paint did you use to touch up the exposed aluminum edges?

Thanks

Maybe some day when i cleaned out the case i will make some new pics, been pretty busy benching lately.

I used double sided tape but i'm not satisfied with the result, the tape is somewhat thick making the window offset a little.

I just used normal satin black paint for the edges, nothing special.
