Nashaz - love the paint on the rads. What did you use?

And this shot here is sex. Nicely done.



You have the touch, man. Looking good. Keep up the good work and the nice photography and this worklog's a winner.

Might be a bit too late to the party but DAYUM that is one beautiful sleeving job there. Is that MDPC sleeving?

[ScottALot]

They are mcp 655's with the bitspower pump cover kit.

I thought that, but how'd you get the LEDs in there... do they just have a 3mm or 5mm hole?

Thanks mate!.. Actually its not. But i cant find coloured sleeves so am really tempted to get the mdpc ones now.

There aren't any leds in the pumps bro, its being reflected from the custom lighting in the rig.

Some final shots of the rig with the 470 in. Didn't do a day shoot as its pretty much the same as before. Here's some night ones instead.



















Thats all for now... Supernova Black Edition completed.

Naz! your GPU temp is great! AC room? Very warm in SG nowadays ... how the VRM temp? Love your rig color theme .. very fierce!

[Nashaz]

Thanks bro! Long time no see. Yeah, SG weather is terrible nowadays. But the benches were done in non-ac room. As for the vrm temp, abit high when card OC is maxed out. But other then that, for stock its pretty good.

In and out of the country often nowadays. No AC ... that's good temp. I'm thinking getting the GTX480 SLI but still worry about the temp and power. ATI HD5970 good too but too long for my secondary rig case. Will see ..

[Nashaz]

icic... Hmm, temps wise i think not really an issue if you are under water. Only power however. Consumes way too much...

[CptDreadFlint]

Ahoy Nashaz! Been a long time fan of this build and I must say that your day and night shots are simply stunning.
Feel free to post more! Soon. Now even.
