Good evening/afternoon/morning all,

I have finally finished my first rig after 13 years away from building due to serving in the Military. I have been building since a very young age but still have a lot to learn and some things to change on my rig before I am 100% happy, its mostly aesthetics as I am happy with the hardware for now:) I most definitely have the modding bug though.

Specs:

Intel 4770K OC @ 4.6Ghz
MB - Asus M6E with OC panel
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16gb @ 1600
GPU's - Nvidia GTX GeForce EVGA Super OC 770 SLI
Cooling - Corsair H100i and Corsair SP120 fans with Corsair link
PSU - Corsair AX860i
SSD - 1 x Samsung EVO 1tb 2 x Corsair 120gb LS Force
HDD - 2 x 2tb Black caviar
Soundcard - Creative labs Soundblaster ZXR
keyboard - Gigabyte Osmium Aivia
Mouse - Shogun ballista mk1
Cable management aided by E22 cable combs

Since these photos were taken the purple has been changed back to black and I have re-routed the OC panel and card reader cables.

I look forward to talking with members and learning from you guys.

I really like the mix of Purple and Red cables here, I don't know why but it just pops.

I liked the idea at first but as I'd only need a couple I couldn't justify E22s postage, I'll be going down the lacing route once my cooler returns.

i was thinking about getting them, 4.6ghz oc very nice! what volts and what temps are you getting?

Core voltage - 1.248v average temp 33 degrees. I must admit the OC (this maybe a big no no in the OC community) is achieved using one of the ROG BIOS OC profiles not a manual OC. I have some more reading up before i am confident enough to switch to full manual.

It was my missus that suggested the red and purple and i liked it initially, but received so much grief on other forums that i started to dislike it.

I looked at going down the lacing route but after hand sleeving most fo the cables, the thought of many many hours lacing put me off. Thankfully the postage within the UK was pretty good and I had placed a large order.

I have quite a few left over and would happily stick them in the post to you as I have no use of them?

Apologies didn't see the new posts thought you were speaking to me :)

Aldershot can be really rough hence wanting to leave but still stay in Hampshire.
