AH man Seeker, I hope your problems are sorted ASAP. We need to see that build in action

[theseeker]

How? What exactly was the problem - I saw the pic but I think I did not really get it.

The cable bends were too tight.

Just finished reading this whole things from the start.

EPIC BUILD!
Congrats. She's a beauty. I will toast with a glass of RYE!

Many thanks!

Sorry to hear about your videocard troubles man. Are you sure the block made good contact with all components on the card it's supposed to make contact with? If not something might have overheated perhaps?

I think the Strider is a modulair psu as well, how about using the cables of the Strider on the Zeus PSU? Don't know if that will fit off course but it will solve your wiring problems and you can still use that Zeus powerhouse.

I was having trouble with them before this build. They were in my previous system and it appears to be a case of bad luck. Unfortunately I will have to re-sleeve most of the cables. The SATA and molex cables are the only ones I can use.

Thanks! I am going to start re-sleeving today or tomorrow.

All of the new parts have arrived! This is my third Psychopack in two months. I will be doing a dry-run tomorrow to insure everything works.
Pics and a big updates over the next two days....stay tuned.
BTW, I have couple of new "twists" in store.

Good Deal. Just home from work, looking forward to a weekend of cable management. Makes me feel better to know you'll be working hard too

Hehe, I am sleeving my PSU and some fan wires that need resleeving. So I am not alone this weekend... ^^

Thanks for the compliment! It is inverted and if you intend to use the Feser 480, shoot me a PM. I can save you a lot of problems!

Correct!

Rocky,

Can you buy the GTZ mounting hardware (black nuts & springs) for the AC HD CPU block separately? I cannot seem to find these alone anywhere. Thanks.

I think your only hope is to contact Swiftech themselves, but you might have a hard time getting replacement parts if you never bought a GTZ to begin with.

Michelle (Swiftech rep) was kind enough to get me 2 sets but I'd hate to start a trend of buying just the mounting equipment.

Rocky, I'm glad to see your sorting out the issues with this and I'm excited to see the surprises you have in store. Keep up the good work.

Hi Nils,

subscribed to this great thread some time ago.
Sleeving goes well, just started working on the 24pin... the lighter trick worked out well - have to thank you for that. The hairdryer works as well, but takes longer to get the hs to shrink.

Took some photos, but that does not belong here.

@theseeker
Having Scotch while sleeving is great - it helps to forget the aching fingers.

[ShoNuff]

Rocky I'm glad you got everything sorted out. I'm looking forward to your next update.

Have you considered Mips chipset blocks for your board? I just saw a pic and thought their gear looked sweet on the R2E.

I have been considering an EK NB block but I would have to change the VC tubing config and the bend in the tubing to the NB might be severe.

BTW, the drain tube works like a charm.

I am happy to report that all of my replacement-upgrade parts have arrived!
I would post pics, but sigfever asked that I not in order to keep him from spending more money!

Glad to hear you're back in business Rocky.

Looking forward to your next update!

Parts are in - still no pics....

I'm running on "E' for more madness

Is the Rampage II Extreme mobo that much better than the Asus P6T Deluxe v2?

Only if you plan on major OC'ing and tweaking. You can ask Shazza about the P6T I have never used it.

[theseeker]

The saga continues.........



The new gear....





And of course, one can never have enough.......



I have never purchased OC'ed VC's cards so I figured I would go FTW!
The EK blocks are quite sexy to say the least and I am looking forward to seeing them in the case. The Aqua box contains something not seen here before and if all goes well, you will see it this evening.
I am about to do an out of the case start up on air to make sure everything works!

[theseeker]

This just in.....it works! Fired it up with all 12GB of RAM and the new 285's. Everything came off without a hitch. Now back to the laboratory!
