Project: Mortal

[dingdong555]

You literally murder(mod)ed your PSU! I bet you were crapping yourself when the first cut was made! My hat goes off to you, i would never have the guts cut up my HX1000. Great work!

I know that feeling! I have my toes crossed for you

wooh0000

I'll report back soon

*Also the first time I'll boot my 4870X2* :|

Looks like everything is coming along quite well for you dingdong...

On another note, I left the picture of your sidekick on the screen while I went to the kitchen. I caught my dog staring at the rabbit like the hunt would start any minute.

hahaha. Thanks man

Was your dog wearing those big glasses in your avatar?

[skinnee]

Nope...he was sporting camoflauge with his orange vest for rifle season.

[dingdong555]

Oh man......

I plugged in my rig for a test on air (first boot for my GPU) and nothing....

Just NOTHING......

*Hmmm* I thought to myself.

I grabbed a diagram of the 24pin layout! DOH! My pins weren't in the correct place. I get so confused with diagrams, some are with the colours of the wires from the PIN side of the connectors and others are from the WIRE side of the connectors!!! My 24pin is fully depinned and I'll have to repeat the process YET AGAIN. This is the second time now.....I'm actually relieved that it wasn't something else, it was just the pins in the wrong place Not really a delay as it's an hour fix but I mean.....FFS!

For that split second before you figure out what the problem is, I always panic when it doesn't turn on after doing something major

[dingdong555]

UPDATE! The journey begins......


I would like to give a BIG thanks to John, he looked after me VERY well Thankyou John. Check out his site below -




It's here!!!!!



What's in the box?!?!?!?!?




Yum!



XSPC RX 240.



The pain issues with the radiator, XSPC put them in the bubble wrap before they were fully dry! Time to pain



XSPC 4870X2 block! Slick!



Copper




Oh yes! The TRUE SILVER (Yes, they have SILVER in!) Compression barbs! The shiny stuff hurts my eyes!



More goodness!






SMILE!!!!








Swiftech GTZ! Awesome looking block.






More to come guys. It's only just started!

[Jhors2]

SO SEXY!!! AHHH. I need to buy some BP fittings ASAP

[dingdong555]

We have LIFT OFF!!!

My PSU works, thank god, so does my 4870X2.

When I went to start it for the first time, it kept booting in really quick series (eg. 2 seconds) I let it run for about 10seconds as I didn't know what it was doing. *Hey look, there is smoke coming out of my hard drive* Looks like the power connector was screwed and did a short circuit. Ditched the cord...... I'm on my comp now and it all seems fine. Some quick 3D mark tests tomorrow to make sure it's all OK then I can start to get it all wet

Congrats dingdong! Just be careful with the BP silver, they are addicting.

Cool shots Dingdong!

Your user name is very catchy, how did you come up with that? It looks like you have enough to keep you busy a while. Keep on pressing on.

[charles_h]

Awesome photos James!

[jpm804]

Nice XSPC Rad .. I was looking into getting that from Jab-tech because the price was reasonable even if it did have those for mentioned blemishes... unfortuantely at taht price it sold out pretty quick.

Project is looking good and can wait to see those parts in your system.
