Xigmatek elysium - Finished with BENCHES

[Firat]

You may all have seen my last build (LINK) well as much as i liked it needed a change.....

along came Xigmatek elysium, what can i say i couldnt resist plus im a rad freak i wanted more rads a RX240 alone didnt cut it soooo,

i got an EX120 AND a alphacool nexxus 360 (60mm thick) the rad that TTL just reviewed....

it may seem mad to have 3 rads for CPU only but hey i may put my GPU underwater 1 day aswell.

its good to have the options.

anyhu heres the new updated specs...

- Z68-UD7 mobo

- 2600K

- OCZ Vertex 3 120GB

- 2xSamsung spinpoint F3 1TB in Raid 1

- 8gb corsair vengence blue @ 1866

- creative titanium hd soundcard

- gainward gtx570 pahntom graphics card

- ax850w psu

- water cooling (cpu only)

- Phobya dual 5.25 inch bay res

- xspc rx 240 rad with push pull gentle typhoons AP-15

- Alpahcool nexxus 60mm thick 360 RAD push and pull with GT-AP-15s

- Laing D5 with Bits power top & mod

- Meyhems premix with deep blue dye

- ek supreme hf nikel plexi block

- Lamptron FC touch fan controller

- primoflex tubing (7/16) with bitspower fittings

not quite finished still waiting for bits and bobs but heres where i got so far....



I mounted the RX240 in the front using what i could find (plastic L brackets), mounted the 120 RAD as the rear exhust and the 360RAD in the room.

More picks to follow still waiting on some stuff (ie. Ram lol)

What do you Think?

Is there even a mobo in that case? IT'S HUGE!!!!! the whole board just disappears! CRAZY setup too! Great stuff man!

Edit: WHERE IS THE RAM?!

I agree it is huge, i used 3 meters of tubing for thin build.... and i used 2L fluid but the res is still half empty.

but i love it.

EDIT: as i said in my post my ram hasnt arrived yet, it wasmeant to arrive today but you know coriers are these days.

EDIT: S_I_N, i dont have my ram yet so i couldnt check but my previous tempswere 35c idle and 60c load at 1.34v @ 4.5ghz.

Looking good Firat, overkill FTW

I like the look of those Alphacool rads i'm going to get the 80mm thick 360 when they come out maybe a 80mm 240 as well, not sure yet though.

Bet you can run with the fans hardly spinning with that set up, will be interesting to see what temps you get as well.

Thats pretty much why i wanted so many rads,i love quiet.....

hmmm 80mm thick what case are you going to use? even in this case 60mm with push and pull was a squeeze...

ill post up temps as soon as i get it up and running

The new NZXT Switch 810, it's got 90mm of space in the top, the fans fit in the top on the outside of the case. Wont be able to do push pull on the 360 in the top but I will do push pull on the 240 in the bottom. At 80mm thick tough just one set of fans on pull with the 360 should do the job.

Will do but it will be a while before it's all watercooled because the 80mm rads aren't coming out until April but I have a RX360 I might use in until they come out.

Specialtech said it's due with them between the 14 and 16 of Feb, it's already out in the US though.

There is a couple of vids and reviews and specs on the case in this thread.

This computer has more radiators than my room at uni.

Temps are: 50C on load 4.6ghz @ 1.35v so its a 10c improvement from before and now the loadest thing in my system is the pump (which isnt that load).

Decent temps, if you can hear the pump over the fans then thats definitely a result.
