Anthrax 7.0 - Mostly Whoosh With A Bit Of Sploosh

I still haven't even seen the HAF XC personally (I work on the other side of the country), but what did I steal, exactly?

His integrity, dignity and his idea!

Maybe his innocence as well! xD

I seem to have misplaced my mind probe. It's that fancy one that keeps backlogs as well. So I can't reference it for the stolen idea from @TheProfosist D:

Sorry about taking so long to reply to this but you didnt steal anything I was just joking. If you watch Linus's CES Cooler Master coverage http://youtu.be/PPRNvOqH0xc?t=2m20s there was a 360mm glacier in the front of the HAF XC. This is what I basically did in this build with a Swifttech H320 in the front of the Air 540. BTW im kinda sad that your colleges did show up now :(

Any of them I never use the speed reducers.

============

Here are some pics from when I was diagnosing the issue I was having with my GPUs. The first the PSU spaghetti that happened when I was checking if it was the PSU or not and left the old one in. The second is what happens when you have to RMA both your nice GPUs, you get stuck with your extra card a GT 430.

Well the temporary test build is complete so I thought I would take some glamor shots. I actually used the second screenshot as my desktop wallpaper for some time as those noctua's peeking though the mesh just looks too good. :P

The replacement ram ended up coming a day early, sexy as always (see third pic). This set ended up checking out perfectly at XMP for 3 passes!

Nice! I bought 64GB for my PC, Dominator Platinum 2133MHz CL9 (The sweet spot)

Costs quite a lot though... :/

yes I grabbed 1866 because well that the max native speed of Ivy-E is 1866. Also 2133 CAS 9 is like much more expensive. I also got my set at least $150 than its at now. Damn you ram prices!

============

This is just a small thing that may not even deserve a update but I thought I would still include it. I swapped the magnetic PSU fan filter from on the PSU to on the inside of the side panel. This way the dust doesnt get into the case at all instead of just not in the PSU.

The 4930K passed the overnight burn in on the replacement MB with the temporary H80. Everything seems to be looking good so far.

So yea after getting a few more things installed, turns out one of the temp sensors was bad >_> . I swear theses things are tested before theyre sent out for Advanced RMA. I guess time to contact ASUS US support again...

Well I'm going to try to get at least one update if not a few up every night. I should be a problem especially if they're small/short ones like the last few.

Do you guys think I should add the actual date of the update to the posts?
