Wren's "Extreme" System

[wrenaudrey]

Here is my Build Log. Here is my Desk Area.

I'm not very good at making acronyms or names for things so i just went with a very simple name or a title for my system.
I have named this my extreme system; with speech marks around the 'extreme' because to me, this is as extreme as i can get and some of you may not really consider this as being an extreme system :lol:

[WillSK]

Beautiful build mate and the clear tubing with plain distilled water really works well with this build!

question: How have you mounted the reservoir?

 

[Feronix]

Love that colour scheme and this build!

Get a dustfilter for that rear intake though.

 

[Mgutierrez33]

super nice build. Understated beauty works really well in this chassis. How are your temps with that hardware under typical loads?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Stunning build. White lighting looks the best in my opinion and this is no exception.

 

[Bartacus]

Love it!!! Job well done!

 

[jamesriley94]

Part of me misses my Switch now :/

 

[BPRSM]

That's bloody fantastic! Well done Shame you can't make the sound card more hidden (or less ugly )

 

[loglog]

Very well done sir... looks gorgeous!

 

[vorticalbox]

Awesome and beautiful looking rig.

 

[Silver Sparrow]

Very clean and tidy build there sir. I especially like how you've set up the rads in pull config as it just looks more clean/sleek (if that's the right word :/ ) than push&pull.

Also easier to clean I bet! Not having the back of fans in direct view through the acrylic window is a plus. Rear intake and to a lesser extent the bottom rad (not in direct face on view) not withstanding.

However if it were mine, I'd black out the corsair logos on the rear and bottom intake fans and throw in a dust filter on the rear intake fan.

Last but not least, I'm loving the white light reflecting off metal fittings. SHINY!

 

[SPS]

That's a stunning build, grats.

 

[Reloaded2]

Really nice build! Love the tubing the distilled water and radiators. Goes well together congrats.

Get that 690 under water! :lol:

 

[jamesriley94]

Get that 690 under water! :lol:

Nah - sticking to air for the foreseeable future I think. My PC moves around too much really to watercool it! Plus it isn't really in a WC friendly case.

I'll put up a rig gallery at some point - sorry for the mini-hijack!

Thanks guys!

question: How have you mounted the reservoir?

Thanks man! And to answer your question, if you look at the third to last picture or the 14th one from the top, you'll see a black ring around the reservoir, that's the mounting clamp that came with it.

super nice build. Understated beauty works really well in this chassis. How are your temps with that hardware under typical loads?

Thanks! I havent really OC'd the system yet nor opened a stress test of some sort but i have gamed and i would consider that as 'load'. Anyway, i would say that its excellent if you ignore the anomaly caused by the CPU, 50-54 on GPU vs 80 on air but the anomaly i was talking about is that the CPU 'load' temp is still the same as it was on air, reaching 60s to max 70. With ambient ranging from 18-26

That's bloody fantastic! Well done Shame you can't make the sound card more hidden (or less ugly )

Thanks! Yeah, if i could paint it i would (but then again i wont cause i dont want to break it) haha. But i was thinking of buying a D2X but i resisted due to the fact that i dont have a sound system or headphone that would take advantage of how awesome that card is.

Thanks! I was so impressed on how the silver fittings turned out too that they shine haha
But about the corsair logos, not really that uberly fussed about them not being the right way round or whatever
And also, i will definitely be getting a dust filter cause i can already see how much dust there is on the G-Card backplate.

Yes a rig gallery please James! I want to see what you've done to your 'main' computer now as your previous Switch 810 build was one of the inspiration that i took on board with this system build :lol:



Thanks alot guys, really appreciate the positive feedback!

Could someone actually recommend me a fan filter for the back, it is an intake and it has a AF140 hence needing a 140mm filter.
Thanks again.

 

[jamesriley94]

The Silverstone Magnetic fan filters are really good.
That's what I used on mine:
