Project ATG

[youpla]

All the goodies

The 550D is really nice, bit bigger than I thought...

With the H100, PSU, SSD and Momentus XT. I removed the top 3.5" cage for better airflow.

And the mobo, small but sexy...

The 2 together

Connecting the CPU block and wires

Adding a spare video card, old GT9800 1Gb, until I get my GTX670

Close ups

And let there be light, pretty cool red line...

 

[The Orange One]

Very nice work there!

The cables are a tad messy, but on the whole it looks good

K60 keyboard and M60 mouse

23" LED monitor

The all setup

OC

The Gene is amazing just with a push of a button and you run at 4.6GHz!

 

[ruthless_villain]

should have bought an atx board, matx looks a bit daft imo but overall good job

Thanks, I'll work on the cables after I get my GTX670.

Yep I know what you mean and I have a serious dilemma now!

Maximus V Gene

or

Sabertooth Z77

I kinda like the overall look with the Sabertooth better, but the red theme of the Gene is also nice...

Perfomance wise, am I really loosing something if I use the Sabertooth instead?

^^ The Sabertooth mobo really blends in with the case so even though it is an ATX board rather than an mATX board, it really doesn't look bigger than the MVG in my opinion.

OC: 3.9GHz, Vcore: 1.158
Just want to get your impression on temperatures.
Room temp around 26C
Idle temp: 33C
Load temp (Prime95) after 10 mins: 48C (short peaks at 51C)
Does that sound reasonable, good or bad with the H100 in normal mode?

 

[The Orange One]

To Me, Those temps sound pretty decent. It is comparable to the results I Get.

Thanks, and I must say the Pc is really quiet... even with the top panel removed.

Oh and byt he way, I decided to use the sabertooth Z77 for this rig and I will use the Maximus V Gene for the revival of my old rig "KuR0 MiZu".

 

[Big WigglyStyle]

Nice build, I really like the K60 I really want to get one to replace my membrane Microsoft wireless 3000 keyboard which is just...well membrane and wireless.

 

[youpla]

Little update, finally got my Asus GTX670 DCII, only one though as the shop ran out of stock, so SLI will have to wait a little bit more.
But damn this card is gorgeous... the back plate is really a nice finishing touch!

 

[youpla]

Time to replace and say bye bye to my old GT9800... and some cables clean up!

 

[youpla]

And GPU-Tweak is a great addition too...

Card runs really cool and quiet!!!

 

[yassarikhan786]

Nice job on the build. Looks very neat, I must say
