hopefully Brains has shown you the tricks of the trade :P

Indeed he has... I'm picking it all up as I go along. heatsink etc is installed now, going to put it into the case, get the SSD and windows installed etc. Shame I'm going to have to do it all again when my new PSU/GPU comes.

[Bigian88]

replacing a GPU is easy, redoing cablemanagement with a new PSU isnt difficult once you find the best routes but it is time consuming

Lol it was built ages ago but I didn't want to put pics up as currently it's got a crappy 450W ThermalTake PSU inside and I've had to use adapters. New ones here so soon as I change it over pics will be up lol :D

Buy some more cable ties and you'll be reet ;)

awesome build mate, just one or two more cable ties me thinks :thumb:

Its just the cables near the hard drives that I need to sort, the blue fan is being changed v soon and ima get cathodes >.>

they are latched tho which i suppose is good :D!

Maybe grab some NZXT Sleeved LED's instead of using the LED fans? They look much better imo

The led fan is temporary im getting a normal one and some cathodes or led's

I might do that with the ones that are on the case actually lol!

[scrivz69]

It's simple and it works, you just need about 5 dustings of paint and let each one dry before the next, mine are fine.

[aspdend]

Nicely done...Some dodgy focussing, but generally looking good...

Edit Woohoo 800th post

[coiler]

i dont see the point in redoing the cables on back of board to make "tidier". Once all bunched together their never looked at again anyway.

Looking good.

Added some cathodes, not sure whether to keep the blue fan or change it to red, I'm getting rid of the sidefan on the window though. Adding both GPU's tomorrow/friday and doing a rewire.

If a placenta was made out of plastic and powered by electricity that's what it would look like.

I'd be having all one colour Joshy, but maybe only on the front and side. Otherwise it's just too much light. Awesome build by the way :D. A lot tidier than mine. :thumb: xxxx

Could you stick a fan or the covers back on the empty drive bays? Looks kind of empty in there tbh. I'd also go for one colour as opposed to red and blue.

Otherwise, very nice build mate!

I could do.... and I'm going to replace front fan with 140mm red one

Also getting a 140mm on the hard drive cage to blow silent and cold direct air in between both cards in the hope the hot air will go out of the side panel vents

It will look a lot better when you get rid of the blue LED's and keep it all red...

Looks great Josh mate, only had to wait 4 weeks but hey ho :P

Post up more pics when you get the Red LED's and crossfire working! Looks nice that you went with a slightly different LED colour than the normal blue.

Admnim cat has spoken I must get rid of the blue!!!! :D Red ftw.

Thought I'd update this as I've now watercooled my CPU :) First pic is for comparison as to what it used to be like.

[Bigian88]

Big temp difference?

[mikeyuk3]

u not using those cathodes any more? or did you just turn them off for the pics ?

[Josh]

Big temp difference?


Prime blend @ 4.5 Max temp of 55 on the hottest core with fans at lowest :)

Board gets hot though, needs more airflow

Leaving them off, just couldn't be bothered taking them out :3

So not much better than the Noctua then, I get between 55/59C max depending on ambient temps

Meh, my frio was fine but to be honest it looks 100x better and it was alot of fun to do it.

I had Nathan helping me and because I'm a tool I didn't put the block back together properly and it leaked everywhere at first :D

[aidan2007]

Who cares if it's not massively better, it looks AWESOME!

No one watercools purely for performance.

[Josh]

what was the temp before?


IIRC about 67-68 :) I'm confident temps would be lower if it wasn't for my 5850's they put so much heat into the case I might be looking at swapping them out and getting two of these:

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/NVIDIA/NVIDIA+GTX+460+Series/EVGA+GeForce+GTX+460+SE+%22Superclocked%22+1024MB+ GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+%5B01G-P3-1367-ET%5D+?productId=44789

You see my RAD fans are set as exhaust so they pull the air from the rad and out the roof but as it goes heat rises so it's also taking in the heat of my GPU's etc. I'm wondering if I should change my back exhaust fan to an intake?


P.S heating was on and room was like a sauna so I'm going to re-do it later and see if it makes a difference :)

[Sarky]

Looks sweet mate as always, great to see a huge temperature drop but its something I don't think I would ever fiddle with. :)

[aidan2007]

Using rad as intake works better for anything that's being cooled by the rad i.e. your CPU but means under load you will be blowing warm air into your case so stuff that's not watercooled gets a bit warmer, like your mobo etc.

Test it out though, you might find it reduces CPU temps more than it raises mobo and gpu temps. Depends on the case really.

Or buy a case where rads are separate from components like a tj07 ;)

[Murf]

Why's your fan LED not on?

It doesn't look as shiny or pretty now.

[Mokey]

Just to note mate, those 460se cards have 288 cuda cores compared to the full 336 for standard 460s.

Also the title on that page states 388 not 288 as shown in the chart below.

[themuffinmancan]

I can't believe I just read all that in one go, especially as it is mainly people saying fail haha.

It looks cool now though, I prefer it without the red lights, I am going for the same case and am glad it has a button to turn the front LED off :)

Pity mine will have a spec that is much worse than yours though :(

[Zaim]

Thought I'd put them two up to show how it's changed :)

That looks much better mate, the temps are much better too. :thumb:

You going to WC the graphics cards? :P

[Josh]

If I'm going to do that I'll get a DDC pump but probably not. Watercooling is extremely fun though especially when you get leaks :D

[El Wayneo]

Hes only using the fans on the lowest spinning rpm thoigh so temps will be a lot hihjer. If he ran them at 1100 - 1200 like on a pwn fan based cooler as it loads then he would see a good 5 - 6c drop in temps.

[El Wayneo]

Also he has the fans in pull so it nowhere near as good as push.

All adds up.

Josh fail :p

[aidan2007]

There's been research that found that low rpm fans perform better in pull.

I'm still dubious though lol.
