My rig (not finished)

[techguru1987]

I use the stock one(for now) and it's actually not bad. Mine never goes above 2300rpm and i can't even hear it... Yet my others fans spin at 1000 rpm and they are louder? Weird...:huh:

Am so use to using third party coolers that I see the stock ones as too small.... For my first rig I used the Akasa Venom one and ever since, the bigger the cooler, the more I like it :lol:.
This is my first build with liquid cooling, so far so good if you wanna overclock!

Thanks! Yeah I see you are really pulling up some real good speeds on your raid config! You are making a good decision by going for the Seidon 240M, I've been using the 120M for 4 months now and I am impressed with its performance. Great looking rig dude! I wish I had the patience to do cable management like you do.

thanks dude, cable management is something really had problems with when i 1st started out and took me ages to get things look good.
i buy most of my stuff from Novatech.co.uk because there customer service is 2nd to none there speciliy ordering me the Seidon 240m just for me

@I don't know - if you need to capture images of windows, just use Alt + PrtScn.

oh awesome thanks dude i was just thinking about that :yelrotflmao:

Looking nice mate, make sure you post a image if you get a new CPU cooler because I think that's the only bit that could be improved.

yeah that's the last thing left, lots of people are going on about the stock cooler.....

good thing i'm waiting as there are new ones coming out very soon..

i'll be updating the rig soon with photos mwhahahahaha

i know it's been a long time, and i really don't have much time so here is photos of the finished rig and my 1st go at water cooling

I also forgot to say a BIG thanks to Barry Grimes for for teaching me how to do a watercooled loop also a VERY, VERY BIG thank you to nstorm2009 and andiuk007 from AVForums for all the tips and parts they gave me (rad, res, tubing, 18w ddc pump and fittings all for free!!!)

oh and the mobo is now a asus sabertooth Z87 and the CPU is a i7 4770k

Looks much better man Next time you have the upgrade itch I'd get that GPU in the loop if you can get a block for it, and try some more angled fittings to make tubing slightly neater, perhaps putting that bit of tubing behind the res instead of in front of it.

The PSU looks great, I'm going to vinyl the top of mine next time I get round to changing something but I've just done loads of stuff so it'll be a while now

thanks dude, not bad for my 1st stab at it :lol:

yeah couldn't get the tubing behind the res for some reason.

Yeah definitely good for a 1st try

Well isn't it nice getting free parts

Oh I see, was the res too near the case when it was mounted on the stands? That's just a shame then I guess

For your first attempt ide say you've done a really good job

California is a bit far for me to send you stuff dude

 

[Devo234]

thanks dude!!

No worries fella.
everytime i see someone building a custom loop i get really jealous because i want one too

 

[Devo234]

how about peterborough? only bout a hundred miles up the road

then start saving up, it's a lot of fun and you learn a lot fast!

if i get anything in that i'm not using I'll let you know!

I'll start overclocking tomorrow as i've only just finished and need a beer

i need to get a cpu and ssd first but as soon as they are bought a custom loop is the next thing on the list

if you get anything second hand ill be more than interested in buying a couple of bits etc...

enjoy your beer mate and let us know how ya get on tomoro

 

[Permafrost]

what case do you have to water cool if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Devo234]

ive got a shinobi so ill need to do some modding to get it all in but it'll be worth it

 

[Permafrost]

a shinobi? lots of modding fun!

 

[Devo234]

oh yh especially as i want to do a cpu/gpu loop so i need to get a 360 in the front so i need to get hopefully a 360 monsta in push/pull as well as a d5 with a tube res.

Lots of fun
