I've done some tidy up with the first pages, so now there's nice quick loading index for easy access to the log.

Anyways, let's kick off BSG v3.0

Changes:

1) In: Asus Rampage III Black Edition
Out: Asus P6X58D-E

P6X58D-E was a nice board but now there's good looking and nicely performing replacement - so time for a change.

2) In: More tubing
Out: 3x Mobo blocks, fittings

In my never ending quest for more flow

I will consider EK block which is due in couple weeks - but only if the mobo temps are really high.
Heard about some issues with temps monitoring on it hence I got some infrared temperature gun.

3) In: Supreme HF Rev3
Out: Supreme HF

4) In: DDC cooling heatsing - 3x Koolance HTS-PMP400.
Out: Ugly looking dremeled cuts in the DDC's housing

I'm pretty certain there will be some dremelling required to fit 2 side by side in the EK Dual DDC Top - but that's absolutely doable.

5) In: Black/Red theme
Out: Black/Blue theme

6) In: Samsung 2.5" 7200 HDD (for Windows backup)
Out: WD Scorpio 2.5" 5400 HDD

This drive is purely for Windows backup - I can't use my RAID 0 2TB for it and WD get's long to initialise in BIOS plus it's really slow for the backups...


All the parts are in - so would be selfish to keep the eye candy for myself

Yeah:


Getting closer


There we go - this is one good looking board!


Here's the board in all it's glory


This is nice but won't be needed (by me



This looks better than expected:


I got silver coloured fittings with it so painting is in order
