The wifey dogged on them the day they came in with the cooler. Never had plans of using them as I just can't rock the two tone flesh color.

I had plans of doing a detailed work log on this but once I started it was such a bitch that I didn't have time for the camera so sorry for lack of work log.

meh work logs are only really neded if you build the case from scratch.

I used to take pics every coat of paint and stuff, but really, if your modding its only the final pics people really care about :)

yeah, Noctua fans are the most fug ugly fans on the market - have to wonder where they're thinking is come from :P

Agree w/ Neuro on the pics - the ones you put up are just fine :thumbsup:

Can you get a couple closer shots of that CPU cooler?

Also I have the same ram, what ram speed are you running at to pull those timings?

That looks like one very nice rig brother!

Dunno what you are really looking for so I snapped shots from all angles. Also I don't have the original black GSkills in it that you see in the pics. I have blue 2133's in there now. :D

Did you do all the sleeving ??

Looks great :)

DrNip 08-25-2011 03:45 AM

Heck no. I try to stay away from that if I can which this build I could because the connections from the PSU to the extensions are hidden within the case. Not to say I wouldn't if need be. If I were to do it I would do it without heatshrink, clamp the sleeving to the connector. Only had a day or so two build this due to selling the house so I had to get it out quick. Needed a gamer to keep me settled until new house is built which could be anywhere up to a year depending on how fast we sell this one.

marcam923 08-25-2011 11:27 AM

Those pictures were perfect, I have not seen that heatsink before, it's nice and according to the pics good temps too.

Yeah I have the same Blue Gskills 2133, I saw your crazy timings but couldn't make out what the speed was, I am imagining that you are not running them at 2133 to get those timings?

Another question, are you worried at all with the extension cables having another break in the connection before it gets to the board/gpu? I always considered doing some custom sleeving on a 24 pin, and on the GPU connectors, but I wasn't sure with having the extra break in there if it would possibly cause any power loss etc...

DrNip 08-25-2011 12:36 PM

If I were to run them at 2133 then it would be 7-9-7-22 or so.

Never had problems with it and this is my 3rd build to have single braided cables.
