Movie IntroProject: Angel



I'm still on the lookout for a watercooling sponsor so if you feel you can contribute email me at Richard at overclock3d dot net.



Time for a new project me thinks. The base of this project will be a Mountainmods Ascension, powdercoated in Sky White - soon to be reviewed at Overclock3d. It will then form the chassis for Project: Angel. The case is in the process of being built by the guys in US of A and should be powdercoated this week.

The colour theme I will try and stick to will be White/Blue, matching both the motherboard and the ram I already have.

I'm still in the planning stages of this but here's the spec accumulated so far:

Hardware

Intel i7 920

Gigabyte EX-58 UD5

2x6GB (12GB) Patriot Viper DDR3

Asus Xonar DX

2xGTX280

3x Samsung F1 1TB (3TB total)

Watercooling

2x DDC Ultra 18w + XSPC tops

2x Thermochill PA 120.3

Spec will be added to as I go along:).

For this log I plan on doing the basic picture + text log and finish off with a video blog of the build.

I'll update the thread as and when new bits arrive and a progress of the mods I hope to do.

Let's get it on...:)
 
I just thought i tell you i love my UD5 but i hear some people are not fond of it as it starts to slow down like at 3.9ghz although never seen one watercooled though...

I told you i love mine :D its running nicely at 3.4ghz and will run on 3.6ghz (ALL ON STOCK COOLING)... like i said Some unlucky i suppose got stuck with slightly less able ones :p btw how come you opted for GTX280 and not GTX285? im assuming you already own 280s then?
 
You guessed right. GTX285's are just die shrunk 280's with a higher stock clock speed, watercooled 280's easily clock to 285 levels so it made little sense in upgrading. The only other upgrades I would consider are the 295 (too expensive) and the 4870x2 (too red lol!).
 
Lmao how do you get them to sponser you?

"Hi i need money to build a new PC and am too skint to pay for it can you give me free parts?"

"Sure sir here you got heres some free booty for you!"

:p w3bbo hurry up so i can lay eyes on this angel ;)
 
Component update

Here's a few shots of some of the hardware that I will be using:

I don't normally go for Gigabytes but the UD5 impressed me alot when I sampled it and it matches the theme of the build.
