ROG Build

[Dicehunter]

Congrats on getting your card! Total envy here. I would love to be able to get a matrix or striker here to play with. Lovely Lovely build. Waiting on when you try to LN2 cool the card.

I bet it was all worth it and the "wait is behind you" now.

Oh it was worth the wait but I will never pre-order a card ever again, The BS Asus told me was starting to get annoying "sorry you just missed the shipment" "We don't know anything about the stock" "We're not shipping stock for another 2 weeks" "What is a GPU ?".

Another few weeks before I do the LN2 though as that will be happening in the states

Thanks man, Looks awesome all put together now

I've also ordered a custom laser cut backplate for the Phoebus arriving next week

Backplate arrived and installed, Updated OP.

This looks really cool. I dont really like the cable combs, though I suppose they are necessary

Thank you

Personal preference, No one can make a rig that everyone will like

That really does look amazing, well done Dice. My rig needs some new cables I think (and a consistent theme ).

Is that black 780ti for this rig or what

what is happening to the asus card that you currently have

I sent it back about 2 weeks ago and got a refund, Ran way too hot and didn't overclock that well at all.

That was all normal btw lol

It was horrible, I had 2 turn up all three intake fans on the 540 to max to keep it at semi normal temps

AMD 290X temps have a different level of normal - I did say in the review

 

[pogitangkad]

what do you think about getting some black spray paint and painting those wire combs?

Oh I know I watched your smexy review and took that into consideration before I bought it but my place is honestly arctic, Ambient temps are around 12'c even in summer so I thought that would help a bit with temps, I was very wrong lol

what do you think about getting some black spray paint and painting those wire combs?

Good idea but I've actually re-ordered them in black plastic so save the painting hassle, They are too small and fiddly to paint, Plus the black plastic ones are a lot stronger, The transparent ones are very brittle.
