new motherboard

[Folly]

Very happy despite parts going back and forth. but for now it’s running.

Nothing has been modded. and its whisper quite.

Last month.....

i7 and 570 testing....yes its messy.

After a quick tidy....

Ordered and added new parts to the build to how it sits now...

motherboard has been changed to a : Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3. asus was RMA'd

CPU OC'd to 4.4ghz

570 OC'd to SC speeds

testing cable mess.

That fractal design looks 10x better than that 4 year plus old design of that Antec case and that cooler look much better

Tidy and white

nice rig

 

[AMDFTW]

wow that looks alot better

 

[sheroo]

There's just no denying how good that R3 looks

It really does make that Antec design look like an 80's TV show.

Looking so much better

cheers for the comments guys.

im not into watercooling and i dont feel the need to sli this rig just yet,

i may double up on the ram at some stage but next i want to turn my i3 into a mini itx first.

so thats going to be my next project log

How odd Antec added a red motherboard tray inside a grey case; but yes, the Fractal Design case and properly sleeved cables do help tidy it up a lot. Can I put in a request for a photo of the back panel where the cables are wedged in

?

Picture added to my first post for you jonowee

The red tray was a self mutilated job I did for a crossfire rig lol

 

[KaraMurat]
