Very interesting and very nice build. BTW could you check if there could fit a vertical 120mm fan behind the psu? (perpendicular to the bridge) thanks

Maybe draw me a quick paint picture? I dont quite understand where your describing.


Thanks for the comments guys!

I should have res mounting pics up sometime tonight

[Ashraf]

It's coming along great! Very cool.

what tubing is that on page 8? I'm guessing feser?

all primochill pro LRT tubing

Here are res mounting pictures
I should receive my performance-pcs order this Wednesday (Tuesday if were lucky) and I will enter the final stages of the build

Needed to extend my mounting area and these extra PCI covers were just what the doctor ordered. Gotta throw the credit out to my pops who gave me the idea to use these


With reservoirs installed


Everything is nearly installed here. The 8-pin PCIE is a bit tight length wise so I'm going to fiddle with that a bit and see what I can come up with to make it a bit less forced looking.



Hope you guys enjoyed this one, I for one am thrilled that everything ended up actually fitting! One thing I did that you can't see here is added a hole to run sata cables through to attach to the mobo. The hole is completely behind the board so it isn't in the pics.

[lyl]

coming together very nicely, props indeed

[Jor3lBR]

L00king good! Love the way the rotaries are fitting nicely and blend in the build.

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but are you using blue tubing, or were you just testing fits?

Also, have you thought about using that nano fluid as your coolant? That would me amazing...

And lastly, are you painting anything white? White tops would be hot.

Good stuff!

Good stuff!

the blue tubing is for the cpu/mosfets and the green is for the chipset and VGA

nano fluid would be very cool indeed, but It doesn't have the UV reactivity I want which is a major part of this build.

you know you've just reminded me that I've been an idiot and I completely forgot about painting the mounting bracket on my GTZ I did paint my fuzion v1 bracket and it came out great so I will unmount the GTZ and paint that today I think.

that's a pretty trick res mounting solution. That is very innovative and your pop deserves the rights to be the first cardholder to the "Official SNiiPE_DoGG FanClub"

haha yeah, It reafirms why I always run thigns by him as I do them

and he also gets the first "Official SNiiPE_DoGG Creditor" card as he is always there to go to microcenter all the way in boston with me when I blow up a PSU or kill a hard drive

[sniperbob]

wow, i just realized you live in MASS!!! jeez, I must be blind... I'm a Western Mass native myself. Hatfield is where i reside. Must be nice to have someone to run to boston for ya, I'm on the complete opposite side of the state.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

cool cool, mass is nice but it blows the big one that the closest store that sells anything remotely useful to computer building is 40min-3 hours away from me depending on traffic

[shazza]

Very clever Res Mounts. I like the white sleeving on the PSU cables too. Will be interested to see the GTZ painted. Great job.

[Simps]

Very nice build.
I just don't like the cable management. 8pin, 24pin and GPU cables, could have been placed better. Try to make all of them, to come from behind the MOBO, on the closest spot from their mobo connectors.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Well I figured I would end the night with a bid of bad/annoying news.

I need some things really urgently to finish this build, but they are late coming from performance-pcs and won't arrive until the 5th of january no more real updates until then, the entire build is riding on 2 special fittings and some acrylic

[SGwillis]

looks good, like the braided powerlines for the 24pin and gpu

[headala]

I really like the res mounts....tell your pops.

[vinister]

I like your setup, especially all your nice angled fittings.

I do not like your individually braided wires. I think it looks hilarious, you turned all the small harnesses into HUGE ones... abit silly imho.

[scottc19]

Hey very nice build! Is it nesseccary to cool the moseft on the dfi board? I have the p35 version, I have the stock cooler on the vreg and a mcw30 on the north like you do. I am just wondering if theres any benifit to cooling the vreg that you know of... In your build it looks really nice, that block is just... expensive

unless you have a quad core the mosfet is not worth watercooling. the only reason to watercool the mosfet on the quad is that is draws double the amperage and thus more heat

@vinister.

Yes I know the 24 pin is very large and yes the 8 pin is large as well, but I intend the sleeving as a design feature. In the final build I will scrupulously arrange the wires to be neat and equal lengths. It is possible I will run them under the reservoirs in the end, but I have not even considered that at this point. Consider the pics you have seen as previews .

hmmm, just checked it out for you and that distance is not 120mm, to be more precise the only way I could see that mount working is inside of the support rails, but then you have the radiator slightly overlapping the motherboard which might be an issue. I guess you could do it on the side away from the motherboard tray.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

GTZ bracket painted

In the light:


UV white paint on it was very difficult to photograph it like it looks in real life

[Borys]

The paint on gtz look's but i think in real look's much better then on picture :]
