New 600T build

[Netroxen]

The Green machine - Corsair 600T gaming rig

Well, I have some pics up in the gallery but thought I'd post some shots up in here...
I mean, after all - who doesn't like showing off their pride and joy?

Specs:
Intel Core i7 3770k @ 4.2Ghz
Gigabyte Geforce GTX680 @ 1264Mhz
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
Corsair Vengeance 16Gb @ 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24
Corsair Hydro H55
Corsair Graphite Series 600T Silver
Thermaltake Toughpower XT 775w


To-Buy list:
Samsung 840 SSD (Boot drive + Primary game)
Blue sleeved cable extenders (Aesthetics only)
Blue + White LED spool (Aesthetics only)
HDD 750Gb-1TB 7200Rpm + 64Mb/6Gb/s (Storage drive)

So I completed this on about the 23rd of December just in-time for Christmas which was pretty well timed...

Desktop screenie:

I do have a question though - What colour extenders do you think would look nice? I'm leaning towards black although I'm inclined to go for something more conspicuous such as red? Thoughts?

netroxen,

Great rig.

 

[FTR.4500MHz]

Nice rig you got there mate !

 

[Feronix]

Nice rig and pictures!

I'd suggest either blue or green extensions to suit the motherboard or GPU

 

[PingPangBV]

Those white LEDs in the fans looks insanely bright judging from the pictures.

Anyway, that build's looking quite neat. Would you posting the rig specs like airdeano said?

Man, the 600T was gonna be the case I chose if I was to ever build a beast PC.

I did a 5-8 second exposure on my camera so that the image would turn out noiseless, that's why the lights seem pretty bright. In reality they're much softer.

But the 600T really is a work of art. It's such a nicely designed case packed with features and the cable management is a joy to work with.

Added specs.

Your rig looks amazing! The thing that annoyed me about my 600t was that cable you have to run through your case to plug into the back for the motherboard for usb 3. if you have a USB 3 header on your motherboard like me you could get a small adapter for it!

 

[Netroxen]

Yeah, that USB3 cable is a proper pain in the arse to plug in. I just zip-tied all my fan cables to it and then routed it down behind the radiator. The tension of the cable is holding it in place...

My only gripe is that you can only mount the 200mm in the front. I'd much rather have 2 120/140's plugged in and increase the airflow a little... Once you put the windowed side panel on, the airflow goes down quite a bit.

Amazing rig! That GPU is at an insane speed!

 

[Netroxen]

Yeah... And it sounds like nuclear fusion is taking place whenever I boot up a game, especially Far Cry 3.
Temps max out at about 68-69c or 70-72c if the room is warm. Obviously loose 13Mhz at 70c, so it downclocks to about 1254-1241Mhz or so...

Generally stays at around 1267Mhz for about 45-60 minutes of gaming and then the temps start to creep over the 70 mark Wish there was a way to disable the throttle back, total pain in the arse!
