Another Update as promised Nearing Completion.

these are just a few snaps of the case & internals. since this ive installed the ram and started to clock the system. i still have to finish the panels by attaching the 3.5" drive covers properly and find some mesh and led's / neons to put on the laser cut panel.

Pics speak for themselves really:

Thinking about this rig now its built a GTX in a W/C mATX case like this is some achievement.



the fine Q6600 cpu under is EK Supreme waterblock



wheres the wires? you say? behind the drive bay covers (hidden away for no one to see as its a big sphagetti junction type thing under there lol)



Artsy shot of the gtx and tubing



Panel shot - i'll get some final better pics once its all completed *little photoshoot to come*







Overall ive enjoyed the project apart form the leaking pump but thats all sorted now. All up and running for a first clock i went in at 3.2GHz @ 3.2V (Cpuz) which is prime stable. still running the ram underclocked by a longway, going to tighten timings soon.

ran a quick 3dmark06 and got something like 12700 which is about right for the clocks i have and the gtx at stock.

running games/3dmark 06 doesnt really push temps up that much, during prime the cpu reached 60'c so im a little weary about clocking it much more as i think this is a good temp to stick at. although the chance of me matching this temp during gameplay or normal tasks probably wont happen.

Thank you all for reading the project log hope you enjoyed it and it just shows that u can puck alot of punch into the mATX form factor.

Final pics will follow tomorrow or something, maybe a little later as ive got stacks of uni work to be getting on with (which i put aside to build this rig lol)

Thanks again, Please leave your comments
