My first WC build

[Blackwatch]

My first post here so might as well make it the mess I know and love as bluewater. It is my first attempt at watercooling which I completed around 4 weeks ago.

I am in the process of saving for my next build which I hope will blow this one out of the water as my next case is going to be totally home built from scratch.

For now though this will have to do for me....

The specs are as follows..

Asus P7P55D motherboard
Intel i5-760 Running @ 4.4GHz ( idle temps 38c load temps 49c/51c depending on what im doing .....plus i like the heat so the heating is almost always on lol. )
8GB Corsair XMS 3
Asus GTX 560Ti 1GB graphics
OCZ Agility 3 128GB SSD
4 x Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB drives

The case is a coolermaster Cosmos S with a few home modifications.

I know by some people standards its not fantastic but it was my first build and it is mine

Nice to see you've joined the forums mate And nice to see some good pics of that build.

Welcome Sir

Cheers Sub, Should i throw up the build log so people can laff at my build ideas

 

[SuB]

Err I'd hold off on that yet lol

 

[Blackwatch]

Wooo another Cosmos S owner
Looks nice man, much better than the state my (Still stock for just a LITTLE bit longer) cosmos has been in since i brought it all them years ago through my several rebuilds

The temps on the cpu + gpu temp readouts cant be very accurate can they... how far are they off? they fill the space nicely there anyway so GJ.

 

[Blackwatch]

The ambient temp is almost spot on as is the GPU temp, the CPU one is off a little by approx 4c but i have RT most of the time as well

 

[I Hunta x]

4c isnt to bad, i was honestly expecting more like 8-10c, ive been thinking about putting a twisty knob style fan controller or something there to fill in the space slightly and keep it within in easy access as ive never liked how stuff sits when its in the drive bays on this case :\

 

[Blackwatch]

I did consider that myself but at the moment im planning my next crazy insane build ( just ask sub lol ) and this one is going to be a nightmare to actually fabricate.

 

[SuB]

Tell em yerself mate no harm in drafting ideas up in another thread At least then you can get some pre-build advice
