Beast Rig

[Jimmy_Vendetta]

This is my custom build which i tend to call Beast rig
It is a ever improving build which currently will be getting a SLI
set up really soon, more then likely 780 ti's also will be putting a sleeve
on the pump wiring as it looks messy as.

Tube runs could be made much tighter and neater. Only other problem i see is that i would have gone for two Powercolor 290x LCS(preinstalled EK waterblock) in crossfire over 780ti in SLI. Barely any more money than an aftermarket/stock 780ti cooler, yet keeps the warranty.

Nice looking layout.

Its simple and effective. I think you should consider using Rigid tubing. A case like that would look amazing with it. Especially if you will go for SLI.

My OCD has kicked in though. I see a yellow cable from the drive bays. Hide it or sleeve it black please

edit* is it not possible to drill a hole in the back panel of that case so you can feed the pump wire behind the drive bay without exposing it to the open area? or is the back panel in this case the side panel if you understand what I mean?

Lovely and clean, very nice dude.

Are your 180 fans in the bottom on intake or exhaust? I ask because the top fan is on intake and this is one of the few cases where you really want that top fan blowing out, the dust filters on this are pretty good so you should use them and have the rad sucking cool air in.

Nevebackdown: Those bends around the cpu are as tight as i could get them, i wasted about 4 bits as i would get a nasty kink in it otherwise. i may look into some other tubing, the one connecting the cpu to rad bothers me abit, Im a Nvidia fan boy , no AMD is going in this rig, i may even wait for the 800 series

Warchild: I've not heard of this rigid tubing ,but i will 100% look into it , there is a little kink in the one to the rad which does throw me off a bit, I am in the process off just removing the molex and hiding it behind the board , but i'm going to buy a Koolance bay res as this is the second revision of the XSPC and it doesn't fit in my case snug so i want to replace it
RKJ: Thanks bro
Mr Logan: I have them it on pull , My temps are excellent in this method , i didn't want to blow warm air over my components , i shall put in a screenshot of some load temps after i've played some games today.

Nice looking build!

The cpu to motherboard block tubing though, have you thought about using Right Angle connectors?

I only ask as I had trouble trying to tube up the motherboard blocks and cpu block without getting kinks in the tubing, and then I thought back to a video that Tom did and went hunting through youtube to find it, where he used Right Angle connectors and SLI connectors to make it look neat and tidy, so I did the same just without the SLI connectors and used tubing instead.

This is how it looks at the moment, but I am not happy with it.

will be getting a test bench and a 1080 rad, with some GPU blocks eventually and then also a waterchiller for benchmark runs potentially as my cpu seems to be able to run some benchmarks at 5.2ghz, but the temps get to high for my liking.

Need to also get a Corsair PSU with some sleeved cables as well as I don't like the Coolermaster ones.

I have a rad in the front of Orca blowing in dude - it really doesnt matter with water. I guess youve just got your airflow the opposite wat to the way I would have mine pus your way actually means more dust will get in there

 

[Jimmy_Vendetta]

Damien: Thanks dude, i have looked into those before but haven't bought them , i will look into that as soon as i upgrade , that looks like a mean little rig your building there!

Tom: Ah that's cool dude, i just always thought warm might affect temps a little, i have these really nice dust filters on top of the rad that i ordered from America. i ran without before and it took a while with compressed air tube to clean it , its getting stripped and cleaned again in the next couple of months ready for the new bay res and graphics cards if i figuire what i want. Just played skyrim for a bit , Max cpu core 48c and max gpu 35c , i know its not a hugely demanding game , but the system stays nice a cool. thanks for the advice dude

Also this is my station
