White Widow/Blue Venom UPDATED!
UPDATE 4: I have received and installed my MSI z77 Mpower. And i have to say this board is phenomenal! With out a doubt the best MOBO of the year. Now i went ahead and did some major cable management on it when i installed it. Now my problem is that i made a mistake a while back and bought the Corsair TX750M which is only partially modular which made my life a living hell with cable management in the back. I literally have a buldge in the back door behind the motherboard tray and its driving me bonkers, so im going to buy another new ps and make even more tidy. I also went ahead and bought some Corsair sp120's and i have got to say im highly disappointed in them and ill tell you why. They have an extremely annoying whine to them even at low RPM, both of them do not just one, so im sure all of them are like that, and i know someone is going to say i should have bought the af series, but im dont want the af series, i want a decently high RPM SP fan that is quiet. So i may have to ditch the color scheme for some noctua's. I plan on posting updated pictures but my galaxy s3 takes shit for photos as you can tell below, so im going to wait for my buddy to take pics of it with is "professional photography camera and lenses" so you can actually see how hard i worked on this. I did say before that i plan on water cooling it and i will. But im trying to get my hardware straitened out first. I want this to last a few years. CHEERS
UPDATE3:I just ordered my new MSI z77 MPOWER. I plan on pin striping the yellow to blue on the heat sinks. I should have it tomorrow or the next day. My Asrock Fatality Performance was an ok board but was shit for configuring ram. I had nothing but problems getting it to run my mushkin ram.
I will update my pics and my full experience with the board ounce i get it in.
UPDATE2: I RMA'd my previous order of RAM, and how now recieved 2x8GB Mushkin Blackline 9-9-9-24 @1600 @4.4ghz OC! For a grand total of 24GB. I know... overkill...... but not really. More updates to come after the holidays.
CPUZ Validation
UPDATE: I have added the BitFenix Blue Cable extensions to clean up the case per suggestion. I have one issue though i had to RMA my second set of Mushkin Ram
. But on the lighter know ive decided to go all out after Christmas and do a full water cooling upgrade. ENJOY!
