Red Mist | Finished build.

[Sanctorum]

Window photos are last since they're pretty poor due to reflections.

Intel Core i7-4790k

Asus Maximus VII Hero
NZXT Kraken X61
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro(Red) 1866MHz
2TB Seagate Barracuda
2 way SLI with Asus Strix GTX 970
EVGA 750G2
NZXT H440

 

So, the SSD and fans arrived later than the rest of the components and were added to the rig a day or two after I finished building, that's why the photos are seperate. The 3rd shark blade has arrived now, so all fans are sorted, just haven't managed to get a snap of all 3 shark blades yet.

Sitting around 30c at idle with the X61. Just have to sort out my peripherals, I'm pretty much sorted. The monitor is an AOC i2269Vwm, going to add another one. Might add a 3rd, but considering an ultrawide 1080p for my center panel instead of a 3rd AOC panel. Using some shitty £5 mouse for now, and a Steelseries RGB Keyboard. Gonna get an MM200E, Vengeance K70 and Raptor M45 soon. Looking for a headset too, can't decide between HyperX Cloud or Corsair 2100.

Thanks guys, sorry for poor photos, used the iPhone 5 to take 'em and they turned out fairly poor unfortunately. In love with my baby tho, the pics definitely don't do her justice

Nice what I would have changed would be the graphics cards to MSI as they would make the build look better. (Besides the lack of a backplate) Also the fans facing your motherboard I would have gone with Corsair AF 140 non led. Just aesthetics though other than that perfect build.

Only reason I didn't go with Twin Frozr's was due to the lack of backplates. I hate seeing bare PCB through my side panel window so had to get 970s with a backplate, and Strix was my next choice after the TF's. Twin Frozr cooler is absolutely beautiful though. I was initally going to go with AF140's for the AIO and rear exhaust but they're louder than my Pure Wings 2's and shark blades, and AF140's are just a bit too noisy for my liking.

Yeah though only 1 of them for that fan nacing the motherboard.

The rear exhaust? I think I have an AF140 sitting around somewhere. Might do that and see if it looks any nicer. If it is, will keep the AF140 in there, as long as it's not too loud with just the one.

What monitor keyboard and mouse are you using?

What monitor keyboard and mouse are you using?

Monitor is AOC i2269Vwm. Getting a 2nd one soon. Keyboard is Steelseries RGB keyboard(Apex I think). Mouse is some cheap shit I found in a drawer. Getting a Raptor M45, and Vengeance K70 though. Still trying to decide between HyperX Clouds and Corsair 2100's for the headset. Also trying to decide on what monitor to get for my center panel, not sure if I should get a 3rd of the AOC panel or an ultrawide 1080p for my center panel. I really want the ultrawide for productivity(not a huge deal for me though), movies and games that support it will ook amazing but if I'm trying to use all 3 monitors on a game that doesn't support the ultrawide, it'll look ridiculous

Isn't the name Red Mist already taken @JayzTwoCents ?

Thought the same. It was a commission.

[Sanctorum]

Yeah, I forgot Jay had made a video of a rig called red mist. Oh well, not like it's the first time more than one person have used the name same for something.
