[The Duality] [Dual System in a Frozen-Q Apex mATX]

Dear forum followers and viewers,

I am sad to announce that I have to cancel my The Duality build. It’s for a reason that I cannot take blame, that I will explain to you in detail.

Some of you might have noticed the stall in my work. This, entirely, is because of the power splitter and/or PWM hubs from Phanteks. Back in May, the power splitter with the PWM hubs managed to kill 2 storage drives and my MSI Z170A Gaming M5. After 3 months of false promises and a whole lot of empty apologies, I received a reimbursement for these. The problem is that I sent back both the power splitter and PWM hubs so they could test them.

I’ve had false promises of them telling me I would get replacement parts for these items, but never did. They even confirmed to me these had shipped, but never gave me a tracking number and two month has passed since then. I am very doubtful they actually sent anything.

I really hope this does not tarnish my reputation because I have tried, at least once a week since the beginning of May to resolve this issue. I’ve truly used all of my resources and never wanted for this to end this way.

I also will not be selling any parts that I have been sponsored. If I have no use for these parts, they will be given away, for free.

My sincerest apologies,

Duality92.​
 
To be honest when I saw your name in my emails I was expecting some blown away update. It is so sad to read this news as this was one of the few builds I follow.
 
​

so, after pestering Frozen-Q relentlessly, we finaly concluded a design for a custom case to build in. The case base is the the Frozen-Q Apex mATX.

This case will be modified to take in two ITX rigs, one with a full GPU and the other with just the motherboard AND two full ATX power supplies!

I've been in great discussions with Frozen Q about the custom Apex mATX case. It seems that putting two full ITX systems and a full custom watercooling loop into an mATX chassis isn't the easiest task, who would've thought? ;)

That means,


  • Two ITX boards (One with a big GPU)
  • Two ATX Power Supplies
  • Two 280mm Radiators
  • Two (actually three) SSDs
  • etc etc. I think you get where I'm going with this ;)


Stay tuned! :D
 
After much tinkering the best I can do with the 6600K is 4.7 GHz @ 1.488v load and 1565/8002 for the GTX 970 on Time Spy benchmark. As far as the 7870K goes, previously my best overclock was 4.5 GHz @ 1.5v with AMD Overdrive, but I can't wait to try it with BIOS overclocking.

UPDATE TIME! :D

We finally finished the design of the case. My creative mind goes crazy when I get to do customization. Cutting should be starting today! :D This is an as-close-as-you'll-get render of the case :)

​
 
Just to let you all know, I should be getting pictures of the assembled case today :) To not reveal too much the paper backing will remain (it's actually to protect it during shipping, but helps to not reveal too much :P
 
Hugely impressed with these FrozenQ cases, I don't know what it is but they look better than Parvums offerings..
