    Continuing Madness

    About two years back I did a worklog for my murderMod Jr. It was time for serious maintenance and I decided to do some upgrading while tearing everything down. As usual, my desire to keep it simple is not going to work.
    I intended to just replace the two 285's with two 580's and the coolers. That lasted all of 24 hours. I will now be replacing my MB, CPU, CPU block, VC's, VC blocks and the Aquaero. I am going with the following;

    Asus RIII E
    i7 980X
    Aqua Cuplex Kryos HF
    2 evga GTX 580's
    2 EK Nickel blocks
    12 GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000
    New Aquaero & Aqua Power Adjust-I would appreciate any feed back on the PA
    Repacing the blue tubing with red tubing-the MB is red & black
    I cannot find any reason to replace my Feser Quad Rad

    I will be using my existing TJ07 case because I cannot find anything I like better and the M|M gear is just too cool! Here is a pic during the original build.


    I have a few outrageous ideas ideas regarding the new sleeving, but I may keep it simple?
    Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

    What kind of ideas do you have for the sleeving?

    Personally, I would just do some general maintenance now and wait for the x58 replacement to come around this time next year. Just my opinion though.

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    Anxious to see how this turns out. Revitalisation of an already beautiful build should make it even more epic!

    Was a silent admirer before your absence and it's good to see you again, Rocky.

    You've made the blue-themed R2E pretty and I'm sure you'll make the red themed build using the R3E just as nice. I'll be looking forward to updates.

    Cheers and welcome back, me hearty!

    Ah I can see the confusion. R3G should be an awesome little motherboard, recently bought a R2G, pretty excited about it.

    A few goodies arrived today....







    Love this block!



    And a mood shot for Shazza!



    My red tubing arrived but I do not like the color under the light. I want a true deep red, any suggestions?

    What brand of tubing did you get? Primochill usually is nice.
    Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.

    Danger Den, that is what I used in my last build. I will check out the Primochill. Then again I may just go with clear and some red dye?
    Thanks for the tip.

    Kirk,

    Nice eye! Those boxes contain the Power Adjust and the High Flow Sensor and the fourth box, not shown, contains the new Aquaero.
    Thanks for looking in!

    Nice rig you have there! Cant wait

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
