Yodel really are the worst. They do not give a shit about any parcels and just throw them about. When one of their vans pulled up to deliver something for me they where literally chucking parcels around trying to find mine in the van. Ebuyer should switch to DPD like OCUK. By far in a way the best couriers i have used.

yeah when i got something from yodel, he delivered while i was at work, he left his phone number, i called and he was really rude so i told him to go shove it up his arse and take it back to be refunded LOL

Why did you go for the cosmos II?

And dang Nice titans <3

 

Space and cooling. Whilst I'm not pro water cooling I am fitting a H110, and it's a 280mm rad. Plus the board is ATX XL.

 

Whilst I could have gotten something smaller and no doubt a lot cheaper that would have defeated the idea...

 

Up until now I have been using an overclocked AMD FX 8320. I had a piece of luck (literally just that) and ended up with a very large sum of money. So basically I wanted the best of everything, and I mean everything. Hence why I 'wasted' an extra £60 buying Dominator Plats instead of like, Vengeance or something and why I bought Titans instead of 6gb 780s (I was insistent on 6gb vram.. especially after Watchdogs..).

 

So it's decadence dude. Total decadence. 

 

Any way I decided (being a little paranoid) to open up the items and check they weren't damaged. Starting with the PSU..

A nice touch ! So here she is and she's a biggun !

 

DSC09434_zps41f3d23d.jpg

 

It's kinda weird really. I've never, ever been able to afford components of such a high grade so every time I look at them I have to remember that they're actually real. Very surreal all of this. Any way, time for some Titan Black fun.

 

DSC09436_zpscba39407.jpg

 

And unwrapped..

 

DSC09437_zps892f0a80.jpg

 

And time to look at the board.

 

DSC09439_zps18882513.jpg

 

First impressions? holy.fuck.that.is.a.big.fucking.motherboard...

 

DSC09440_zpse54fcafb.jpg

 

And the certificate of quality control.

 

DSC09442_zps755e3a7d.jpg

 

And then I found this in the hall way entrance to my flat.

One hella big tube of thermal compound lol. So all that's missing are the 3 140mm fans.

Wow! That's great to hear, did you win the lottery or something?

 

But either way, damn, you dropped a heap of cash on this. I had some luck come my way and I got a $6,000 scholarship from my uni, but I didn't have the stomach to drop too much on my PC (already a 3930K + R9 290X), was so tempted to get another 290X, but just didn't have it in me. 

 

Good spending here though! I'm loving this!

OK so update time.

 

Last night I got the case out and fitted some fans. It's a big case lol.

 

DSC09444_zpsccc37707.jpg

 

Here are the two 120mm side intakes fitted.

 

DSC09445_zps85cfd22c.jpg

 

And the hard drive fans.

 

DSC09446_zpsd7679001.jpg

 

The CPU arrived this morning (yay ! even has the EE sticker !) and last night at 7:30 the doorbell went. It was Yodel, with a small box they had forgotten. In it were the 140mm fans, so I now have everything. Well, that's what I thought any way, until I forgot I didn't have one of these..

Managed to find one in the UK yay ! so that's ordered, should be here Monday.

It lights up too apparently. I'd completely forgotten about them because I've been using a 7990 for the past 8 months :)

 

Glad I got it though. SLI bridges are kinda nasty otherwise :)

Oh sweet

So the real build is starting soon?

 

Yup. I just spent the past two hours readying the case for the build. Removed all the excess wiring, sorted out the case wiring (and god, there's a lot !) and removed both doors so I can get easier access.

 

Will put up some more photos later probably :)

OK so the build log. Please note this is far from finished ! I have some serious mods left to do..

 

So I tidied up the wiring that comes with the case.

 

1_zpse8b98ad8.jpg

 

And then fitted the PSU.

 

2_zps85a97000.jpg

 

Cracked out the board.

 

4_zpsffebcf3d.jpg

 

And turned the case around. A shot of the cavernous interior !

 

5_zps9c4a24e6.jpg

 

OK. So what I was most worried about, the CPU.

 

6_zps699b90ff.jpg

 

Seems legit...

 

7_zpsec077264.jpg

 

And time came to fit it to the motherboard. After wrestling with it for a while nervously I finally realised that 2011 has two mechs, both need to be engaged. Very odd !

 

8_zps708d8819.jpg

 

Board in..

 

9_zpsf26580bd.jpg

 

OK, interlude.. One 7" Android tablet..

 

10_zpsc7acea23.jpg

 

Keep and eye out for that thing in the next week or so. It's going to be a part of the PC itself.

 

Wiring, and a couple of hard drives.

 

11_zpsbb03e688.jpg

 

Wires.

 

12_zpsb17b2d55.jpg

 

Tidy.

 

13_zps77cbf273.jpg

 

Then it was round to the back for some cable management.

 

14_zpsdef22260.jpg

 

OK so time to fit the H110. Remove the top.

 

16_zps747850e4.jpg

 

And open up the cooler.

 

17_zps2c1d86f6.jpg

 

Get out all the bits.

 

18_zpsa7bd51ae.jpg

 

And then TIM clean the pump. I am using my own TIM.

 

shouldbe21_zps20a93828.jpg

 

Fans

 

20_zps01a9b210.jpg

 

And fit.

 

21_zpsd1f2a1d5.jpg

 

Turn it back around..

 

22_zps8e425f11.jpg

 

Fit the pump

 

24_zpsacd10d34.jpg

 

Fit the SSD

 

25_zps78c3b3a8.jpg

 

Sorted. Right round to the back.

 

27_zps72bca8c2.jpg

 

Aaaaand..

 

28_zps3b979703.jpg

 

BEAST.

 

31_zps0fc60011.jpg

 

Specs.

This is realy cool !

You know that would have been even cooler? If you would have modded your titan cooler like this dude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/127424-geforce-gtx-logo-mod/ and put a tint of purple on the "GEFORCE GTX" text.

Just an idea :)
