Friends White R4 Build

[TonyTBR]

My friend asked me to build a computer for him, so we went through what he wants and piked out the parts and we also had to wait for him to sell his MAC (I was also pleased). Any way he wanted the computer mainly to play flight sim, and also other games but he also wanted it to be fast. We decide to go with ivy bridge, even though haswell was out i didn't know much about it and i new that ivy i5 was a solid performer and it is also cheaper than haswell.

Pictures

First of all here are all the parts in their boxes before the build.

Here is the cable management, it took me a while but i wanted it to be tidy and clean looking.

Here is a picture of the completed build, with all the parts in.

And another...

Here is a close up of the CPU/RAM area.

And here is a lights off shot.

So that's it, i think the build turned out great, it looks really clean and it all goes together well, i can't get over the looks of the 770, it is so f#@king nice!!! my mate hasn't seen it yet but i think he will love it.

I currently have it running at 4.4ghz at 1.200v, currently running prime95 for 5 hours and it hasn't gone above 64 degrees C. Also this evga 770 overclockes like a beast currently have it at base: 1236 boost: 1288 and memory running at: 2003 MHz!!!

So that's it, if you have any questions on the build please don't hesitate to ask!! and any comments are appreciated!!

Nice tidy build. Do you not find the stock fans on the H100i are loud? - I had to swap them out.

Funny story i hand't thought about it until i tried to go to bed whilst leaving it on with prime 95 running, after about 1 hour of not sleeping i came to the conclusion that some new fans will be bought!!

Would you recommend any, ive been looking at the sp120 quiet editions and the noctua nf-f12's?
