Posted September 19, 2015 Hello again and welcome to my new project In cooperation with ASUS i'm going to build a system to show off their new Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1 motherboard.

Posted September 19, 2015 Author Just checked. It's rare, but I found two shops that have them currently in stock. If you thought it wasn't available in shops yet, where did you get yours? Really? searched for it every few days but most shops said it's ordered but not available I got mine directly from ASUS.

Posted September 22, 2015 Author spank me thats at smexy motherboard! and i do agree that mb and case compliment each other nicely. Asus did a great job on this board. Don't know why but the Phanteks was the first case i thought Can't believe it, this is nearly the exact build I'm planning Same colour scheme too! Definitely gonna sub, will be nice to see it all put together! Great minds think alike! Haha, great! thanks for the sub, hope you can catch some ideas! Great project, the Enthoo Evolv is a personal fav of mine. looking forward to seeing more. J. It's an amazing case, thats true! Got myself a scroll saw today, going to use this one very often so you'll see some more photos ;-) Many parts for my first project were laser cutted or CNC milled, it's great since everything fits perfectly and looks good. Even though i have the opportunity to do it again i want to start making things by myself. This scroll saw will be great for cutting some aluminium and acrylic!

Posted September 23, 2015 Subbed! Love the sabertooth line, but imo that orange line doesn't fit in. z77 sabertooth was nicest looking imo s t u f f Spoiler i7-5960x | 32Gb 2400Mhz | Titan Xp | Define R6 | Custom Loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 24, 2015 Author Update Yesterday i got 2 big packages including a lot of watercooling stuff Because i'm currently working on two build, i got 2 pumps, 2 CPU blocks etc. i really like the new design of the EK stuff Let's take a look at the radiator, since i only watercool the CPU this should be enough I wanted to use DDC pumps again and i found a great deal, a complete kit including the pump itself, a new plexi top with G1/4 threads, metal case and decoupling Let's move on to the blocks, my favourite part The Thermosphere is for my other project.So i got two different CPU Blocks and i'm not sure which one i should use for this project. Tell me what you think! The last part, the reservoir not much to say about i think Can't wait to start building the loop! :wub: @EbinNator2044 Subbed! Love the sabertooth line, but imo that orange line doesn't fit in. z77 sabertooth was nicest looking imo thanks for the sub! i really like the orange Cheers!

Posted September 24, 2015 I like wc parts that show of as much of the liquid as possible, but if you are going for a stealth look, I would use the black.
