Scia's Rig finished today:D

[Scia]

Hi

So I have updated my watercooling, mainly due to the reason, that both the Phobya UC-2 LT where leaking once the CPU would get warm. Aquatuning did refund me both times and I bought a Aquacomputer Kryos HF and 2 EK CSQ 680 blocks + backplate. [Did chose those cause I got a 2nd 680 on late xmas [mid Jan ;P] from my GF and the EK ones were the only ones I could find that would fit palit and gigabyte ] that's also the reason I will not be going AMD after all, after getting a 2nd 680 for free
The coolant is not Mayhems Pastel Light Red and otherwise I have turned the top rad, to make it look somewhat cleaner

2500k
8gb Corsair Vengeance
Sabertooth z77
AX850
Force GT 128gb bootdriver
Samsung 830 256gb Games
Alphacool 665 Pump / Monsta 360 Rad front
Phobya G-Charger 360x60mm At the top
Phobya UC-2LT CPU Block
Phobya G Silent Fans
1/2" Tubing with Mayhem's Pastel Grade Red
Reference Gigabyte GTX 680 +Palit 680 Palitedition
In my Xigmatec Elysium, modded window, didn't like the fan and ugly cut outs that would just be dirty all the time

And I am saving up for 2 of the new AMD cards to add to the waterloop
Been using ATI / AMD all my life and like it better than Nvidia which I bought out of curiosity

[The rig was running before, just the waterloop I added over the last few days ]

Nice setup!! Why not get another 680 and put them under water instead? I know you like ATI better but that's kind of expensive.

Very nice! good work bro

 

[Pao]

Grats!! nice Rig

 

[SnW]

Nice BUT more pics please

Ray........

 

[Scia]

I'll supply some more pics soon, was busy replacing TIM and doing some more bleeding

 

[kirebrat]

nice build m8 i like the red and black , if u play on really high resolution get 7970 for those 3gb vram, or get your self 680's 4gb edition's, coz 2gb vram is kinda low for those horse power that 680 offer and if u are on 2560x1440 and play with mods in games 8xAA and such, u will notice the difference

 

[Scia]

Right now I am playing on 1080p mostly Starcraft2 ;P So the GTX 680 does fine.
But I will add in 2x 8970 once they are out, and do not utterly suck [which is not to be expected] I will not spend 200 bucks on a waterblock for a GPU that will be gone soon

 

[Scia]

Alright made some more Day / Night shots of the rig, and my custom WASD keyboard [Cherry MX Blue]... On my rather dusty table [didn't get to clean in whilst building up the rig ^^ will do tomorrow ]

*PICS BROKEN, SEE NEXT PAGE*

Edit: And yes, I do want there to be a shit load of tubing

Very nice bud, i do love to see a corsair psu and a nvidia gfx in any new build nice one!

Nice build only thing i would of done different is get rid of that black strip on the acrylic its blocking the view of your sexy components and water cooling. Also MOAR Photos stop teasing with just the one

Go one page back at the bottom ;P
The Metalstrip is where the fan used to be, I thought about cutting it out, but I would have to adjust the lefthand line again, since the window within the black frame is somewhat recessed. So I decided neither do I feel like it, nor is it necessary, I think it'd look too plain

Thx, but will be AMD cards once the new ones are out

As i say it was my opinion if you like it its yours so i have no say, as for the pictures i cant see them it must be my browser ill try another

 

[dragoonk]

I kinda like the black strip on the side panel.

 

[Rathy_21]

Unfortunately i cant see the pics in your post on page 1. I can see the pic in the first post but the others are coming up as broken. Tried to follow link and download as a picture no such luck, also i tried with 3 different browsers all came up short Fire Fox,Explorer and Chrome

 

[Scia]

Pics working now? ^^

 

[Rathy_21]

Yes and all i can say is wow not only that but that keyboard is the best modded keyboard i have seen to date lovely job. I also don't think you have too much tubing that's part of the reason for watercooling is all the brightly colored tube

 

[dipzy]

Nice rig mate and i'm liking the keyboard too

 

[Scia]

ty all ^^

 

[Koolzy]
