I really didn't 'NEED' an upgrade, but I'm trying to get the wife into FFXIV, so I 'gave' her my old computer (had to stick it into a pink case) and built myself a new beast.

 

It had a 5ghz i7 Sandy Bridge under water, except I moved the liquid system to my new comp, and gave her air, so back down to 4.3ish, didn't push it much.

It's got a single 780 Asus Direct CU II

8gb memory @1600mhz

 

Flaming pink wife's comp:

Now for my beast!

 


 

 

Got new stuff in mail...

Started to strip out the cages and such to make more room

Mocking up rads and mathing out what fittings I was going to need

Tight fit... but got them monsters in there!  With push pull fans....

The front one is a 80mm Monsta, and the top one is a 50mm Koolance rad.

At this point I was waiting for my 2nd 780 and waterblock to come in the mail

Soooo, I decided to sleeve my cables!

2nd card got here, got the waterblock on it, and more sleeving!

And after priming the system, letting the air work out of the system for a day or so... time to start ocin'!

Holy thick rads, Batman! Nice work man, both look good. I really like the glow through the front intake and that setup is really nice.

Blame Imugr for the broken pictures.... grrr rage.

SP on the push side, AF's on the pull side.

 

 

 

Why that case for your wife's computer? You should get a NZXT Phantom in Pink.

 

She picked it.  That one wasn't pink enough for her.

I used 2x 8" cathodes up front for the glow.  I don't like how it peeks through the crack... I wanna pull it apart and 'tape' off the outsides so you can't see it... but It's a major pain to get to xD

Very nice build :).  I think the red leds are too much. White leds would look better imo.

oooo, that's a good idea... Would show more of the red sleeving and red scheme already inside....

I do have some white LEDs floating around somewhere....

Up to 4.4 on cpu, but running into heat thresholds.

(I'm stress testing cpu with both cards being fulling stressed @ the same time, AIDA64)

As a cable management freak, you've done very well on routing those cables.  It almost reminds me of my survivor builds cable management but 3 times more powerful :D post-19570-0-51622600-1384478856_thumb.j

Not a fan of the red LED's in the case. They kinda wash out the effort you put into the colours and sleeving and make everything just look red.
