Some quick pics of my set up. I used to have a small (argos) desk the other side of the room but I decided to use the corner. Its working out well at the moment.
Questions are welcome.

Nice setup dude. Loving that Switch. Any chance of posting more pics of it? (in the Rig Gallery, of course)

I really want a Switch for my case, but I think I'm gonna wait until I'm ready to do a full custom water cooling loop and then buy it all at once (case + WC hardware).
 
Thanks. I was going to do a build log when I started it but as it was my first watercooled build I forgot. The stress ya know....
I might do one when I get better temps on the GPU. Its not mounted properly even though Ive re-done it once. The block is an EXPC razor GTX670 if anyone has advice
 
That looks like a pretty tiny little monitor... What size is it, and why are you using it if you have such an awesome rig?

*XSPC, and what exactly do you mean by "not mounted properly"?
Tom did a guide on how to fit the Razor to a 680, so it's not exactly the same card, but the principles are the same. Maybe you can take a gander at it and see if you did it like he does in the video.

About the build log: no biggie, I understand completely. I plan on doing a build log when I update my rig but that's a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnng time coming.

Ive seen toms (titan, xspc) video and still have high temps... Ill post back when I re-fit it. I imagine its my fault. 74c isn't right, Im sure you'll agree with a 360+240 rad setup

Yeah, something's deffo wrong there. Too much thermal paste, perhaps? I've done that before, almost killed a processor using too much once :lol: (back when I was brand new to building, in the socket 775 days).
 
Im not one for overdoing thermal paste but I think the problem is the fitting. The first time I messed up but filled the loop. Now to re fit the block I have to fiddle around the tubes which makes it more difficult.
Ill take a day out to do it and hopefully I can report back with sweet temps, without draining.
 
Hi. The focusrite is great. I use it as my regular sound card not just when recording and I cant complain.
I still have the realtek drivers in because my headset mic wont work through this and there are no issues. I can plug in to the motherboard sound and out again without problem. Im impressed with that.
The one problem I have is that the headphone jack is a bit shoddy. I have to wiggle about (the lead not me) to get stereo but its not a game breaker

It doesn't look tiny at all...?

It's a 24" 1920x1080 120Hz screen. Pretty high end monitor so idk what you're talking about lol.
 
The speakers are great but quite bass heavy. But as I use the audio interface as my soundcard I cant do the eq
 
I just really want to give you a thumbs up for the Citadel poster and the paint station bellow. Yay for 40k/fantasy.
