Black and Blue to Black and White Switch 810

[dujames777]

Was getting a bit tired of my old Switch 810 and a bit disappointed that it was not as clean as it could be. I decided to redo the whole thing and change out the color scheme.

Rig Setup:

P67 Sabertooth
i7 2600 ( i know it not OC, wasn't thinking about OC when i bought it ages ago )
EVGA GTX 680 OC
16 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866MHz
Corsair AX760
RayStorm 750 RS360 WaterCooling Kit
XPSC Razor GTX680 Waterblock

Ha ha, he *switched* colour schemes in a Switch 810! Hahaha...ha...no? Okay

Looking good mate, I'm a fan of black & white. Planning my own b&w build too

Hi dujames777 , Welcome to OC3D.
Nice looking build , good job.

Another first poster with a great looking rig, tbf i prefered the black and blue..but that's just me. Maybe everyone but me has a sweet spot for some white in there rig. (That's what she said) Damnit aha...

Lovely looking rig, with a nice spec!

P67? Seems like yesterday that was the top of the line chipset.. times sure do fly
Nice build but put back the blue leds in the blocks.. just to break up the white a little bit

 

[dujames777]

Thanks you everyone for the comment :lol: first time building a rig without running into any issue ^_^ . i'm thinking of adding white led strip in it too, but don't know if that overkill on the lighting.

Very similar to mine actually!

Can I ask - the backplate on the graphics card - how did you fit it with the Razer block? Are the screws that come with the Razer long enough?

 

[dujames777]

it was a while back so i don't quite remember, but i remember i only use the screw that came with the backplate and the razer block. So if you have those 2 you should be good.

Been a couple of months now, I add and remove a few addition to my built ^_^


First: change my water cool gtx 680 to a gtx 690 with a evga backplate (took forever to find one of those, the gtx 680 is in my office PC at work now lol, way overkill for doing spreadsheet and etc, but i had no where else to put it)

Second: spray paint all my PCI bracket shield, white. ( too much paint laying around lol)

Third: add quick disconnect to my loop. Sooo much easier now to clean my rig and drain it.

Fourth: Remove second HD bay. ( no point in it being there since it hold no HD, or fan)

Fifth: remove all my front I/O cable except power button and led. ( I never use any of the front I/O and it was too much cable to organize)

Been another few month since i made any change to my rig. I Sold my 690 and bought a 780ti and added a water block to it. The water block is a Swiftech Komodo-NV-LE.

Very nice! But arnt the Swiftec blocks very restrictive?

 

[dujames777]

Not exactly sure since this is my first GPU swiftech waterblock. The only other GPU waterblock I have is a xspc for my gtx 680. And if I compare the two. The swiftech block temperature gain during some of the benchmark was around 10 degree, while the xspc was twice that for me.

Very nice! But arnt the Swiftec blocks very restrictive?

But it looks so pretty
