[Project log] white99 [2k16 Edition] - Corsair 540, ASUS x99, GTX 970, 16gb KLEVV CRAS

[50mm]

Very nice build!

 

Looks very clean and all. I'm in the making of a similar build my own. Same case, same color theme (Black and White). But no budget for X99 , it will be just Z97 with an 4790k and a GTX 970. I went for the MSI Z97 Krait Edition Motherboard (it's like the only black/white colored board i could find, other than the Asus Sabertooth with the white Armor)

 

I Just found out about Gosumodz, I'm checking their store every day, waiting for the white sleeving to be available again (the staff told me they should get more of it this week) 

 

 

Are you planning to sleeve your Front panel connectors, Sata Data for the Hotwap? May have some questions when i get my hands on the sleeving 

 

Awesome Build! Have a follow! 

 

Is your build log already online? I'd like to take a look at it For a normal user/gamer z97 is very good, i just went with x99 because i wanted the extra cpu power for processing photos, videos and do some cad/3d rendering.

Yeah i had the same problem with the white sleeve :-/

I'll try to sleeve as much as i can, i'll let you know

 

That rainbow keyboard matches the 24pin    /jk

 

No, but this is sick. Excited to see it sleeved. Also, are you going to put the display in the front of the case?

 

edit- Are you using that big white radiator next to the case on you desk for cooling (I probably missed something)

 

Yeah i want to put it in the front and the radiator is the Mora3, it's really great as long as you have no problem with external radiators.

While gaming the CPU is at 35-40° C and the GPU at 35° C, of course this also has to do with the impressive EK blocks

.

uh gonna look at their site, hope everything is running fine for you

 

Yeah everything is fine, thanks

No, at the moment I'm just lurking in the forum ^^

But maybe i will post a thread with a build log. But i will build the system quite fast and with not much steps. I already have a bunch of stuff laying around (Case, Fans, CPU Cooler, Power Supply, Cablemods Cable set) and some is ordered.

Yeah, i thought about that. X99 would be too expensive, i think the 4790k is already overkill, a 4670k should have been enough, but hey, ill plan to upgrade a second 970 later, so why not.

 

The sleeve is back in stock, just got an E-mail from these awesome guys at Gosumodz, the sleeve is back in stock. Just placed an order 15 min later 

For the 24-Pin, 8 Pin CPU Power, 8-Pin & 6-Pin GPU Cables i will go with the Cablemods-Kit. First time build, Maybe i will try too sleeve the original Cables from the RM750, or order some Wire, connectors and a Crimp-tool later. 

Right now I will just sleeve the Sata Data, fan cables and Front panel audio.

It's beautiful!

For the next build i'll buy all the parts first like you do and not step by step^^

Yeah this project is more expensive than i thought but it's still worth it and i'm also thinking of a second 970

I'll post pictures of the things from Gosumodz when they arrive

 

Greetings back!

 

 

It's beautiful! 

^{WOW , what a great job!}

 

Thank you!

[50mm]

Sleeving arrived!

 

Today my package from Gosumodz arrived.

I'm really excited to start sleeving tomorrow but here are some pictures i took for you:

 

 

 

 

 

Some test shots of the sleeving

 

 

 

 

As you can see the sleeve is very dense, you can barely see some of the black wire

through the white sleeve but i'll just use some white wire for this cables.

 

 

 

A big thanks to

 

for their support!

 

More pics will follow!

 

Cheers,

 

Matteo

[Cruzer]

Very nice!!!

 

 

i got my package from gosumodz as well with some nice sleeves. And i already finished sleeving the stuff i was going to sleeve. For the Sata-Sleeve, i would recommend to use White Sata Data cables or wrap the Sata Data fist with some white tape of some sort. 

 

 

here you can see in the upper picture a red Sata Data cable just sleeved. Below it I first wrapped the Cable with some white isolation tape to get the complete white look

@Cruzer

 

All my Sata cables are black but thanks for the info

If i don't like it with black cable i'll just use white tape like you

"Hope this is more stable than my 2x00k CPU"

That is not a phrase you here often

[50mm]

"Hope this is more stable than my 2x00k CPU"

That is not a phrase you here often

My 2500k wasn't a good sample. I could get it to 4.2 for 24/7 but i needed to increase the vcore too much for anything above. 4.5 was stable for some hours till it crashed again.

Update:

 

Happy to tell you that my cables are finished!

I love the result and hope you like it, too.

 

Please let me know what you think about it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If i have some time the next days i'll try to make

some photos outside, but i won't tell you what exactly

 

Cheers,

OMG that is going to be a beautiful build!!

[50mm]

OMG that is going to be a beautiful build!!

 Thank you!

I'm going to finish it within the next 4 weeks so stay tuned

[C0LL0SS0S]

Making awesome cables is cool but the way to photgraph them is the real art ^^ Keep it up !

[tROVLET]

fauurk man when it will be my turn?

can you tell me where did you learn about all this kind of stuff with computer builds and water cooling and all this cause damn i have 0 knowledge

[50mm]

Thank you all!

 

@tROVLET : Well i'm building computers a few years now. I always love to build a new system or get new hardware. You can learn a lot in the internet or just ask other people to help you.

1,5 years ago i talked to many other users to help me getting started into water cooling and now i'm the one who helps others. That's what i love about communities like LTT one.

Just send me a PM and ask what you want

 

I'm going to fly to London at thursday, i'll tell you when i'm back and ready to continue modding!

[50mm]

I'm back from London and now ready again!

 

Some might not know yet but i'm planning to put my Nexus 7 as a monitor in the front of my case.

At first it was just an idea and i didn't do anything more but yesterday i found it again and installed

an app called TwomonUSB and here are the first results!

 

 

 

This app is great! It turns your android or ios device into a functional monitor with touchscreen and not just mirrors another display device.

It's a bit laggy but it's okay for what i want. Perfect for showing Rainmeter or display a logo

 

At the moment i'm looking for some acrylic and might order today, so stay tuned!

Nice to hear from you again, just thought about the build a day ago ^^

Excuse my grammar, I absolutely suck at it. Like really bad.

 

AGH! I'm so torn about whether I like the 8 pin in front of the tubing or not!  :unsure: If I was going to sit next to the computer regularly, then it would bug the crap out of me. But, it is also really unique and cool-looking (especially with those sexy tubing runs). IDK man. Anyways, I love the new cables (way better than the rainbow stock ones). I also like the way that all of the front of the cables is white and all of the back is black, instead of the usual patterned design.

THIS!

I didn't want to make the 8 pin like this but this way the cables won't kink, i'll try it behind the tubing and post some pics of it tomorrow

i chose this pattern because i only wanted two colours and no cablecombs, so a usual pattern wouldn't have made any sense imo and i've never seen this one before.

Glad you like it

[50mm]

Sorry for the late reply, had too much to do since the last post and couldn't do much on the build.

First a picture for @nicon with the 8pin behind the tubing!

 

 

But this isn't everything i got to show you, there's more!

I took my soundcard apart and painted it white so it fits the rest of the project, i'm really happy with the result and hope you like it too

 

 

 

 

 

BUT WAIT! There's more!

 

PACKAGEEEEES

 

 

 

So, that's it for today, hope i can update more often now

 

Cheers!

[C0LL0SS0S]

Yeah sure show us boxes but don't open them, dick

[nicon]

<snippitty snipsters>

I like the cables both ways. Sound card looks sick too.

[50mm]

Hehe
 

Here you go

 

 

 

And one shot just because i love the quality and design of EKWB

 

 

More to come

[C0LL0SS0S]

Really like your pics, looking forward to finally see the build finished
