This is your introduction to Re-born, a gift from our Master and Commander Mr TinyTomLogan, many have seen the video I did, and I have to say the kind words and respect was just overwhelming.
So without further ado, here as promised is the build log of "Re-born" my new pride and joy, this is just the start I'm not 100% on the cables and also she really needs paneling out to make her guts look all streamlined.
So to start off, here's what I had before the OCZ PSU died and killed the whole system.
AMD FX-4100
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Corsair H80
8 GB Corsair XMS3 (1333Mhz)
XFX HD 6790
OCZ ModXstream Pro 500w
Crucial V4 64GB SSD
WD Black 500GB
Custom Acrylic display case.
But that was then... this is now.
Pentium G3258
Asus H97 - Pro Gamer
Corsair H100i
8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz (1600Mhz)
Asus GTX 750 Ti OC
Corsair CS650M
Crucial 64GB SSD
Corsair LX 256GB SSD
WD Black 500GB
All wrapped nicely in a Corsair Obsidian 450D
I love this board it is insanely pretty.
Have a seat my precious! Soon you'll have a new home....
......Get out you FX biatch! G3258 needs the house :lol:
Looking rather sparce, time to fill a gap.
Well that's much better, although it was quite a tight fit, exactly 5mm between PSU and bottom of the motherboard
Now for a touch of the cool stuff, it's my personal preference to use cling film to apply TIM smoothly, it's also much cleaner and no risk of grease contamination.
All snug and sitting pretty, just a few more pieces to install.
Well that's everything installed (software not included)
And now time for some glamour shots
Here are some sexy night shots, my favorite has to be the light track of the SupremeFX audio...
So for now please give feedback, I know you all will . I have to say the G3258 compared to the FX-4100 clocked to the same 4.0Ghz is a no brainer! The Pentium just spanks it and with only 2 Cores. Expect to see overclock updates A LOT!
Things still to do:
Panel internals. (No Carbon crap this time)
Fan reducers.
Better lighting.
