Id get 2666Mhz, not too much not too little but right in the middle

Hey guys!
 
Here are the awesome cables from Icemodz! Thanks a lot to Mundi for making and sending me this kit. It's made from nice flexible paracord sleeve and should fit nicely in the system. Make sure to check out the icemodz.com website for all your custom cable and LED needs.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Thanks for checking it out!

Hey guys,
 
More work in progress! Found a nice spot for The Mod Zoo monkey badge and it looks pretty nice in there.
 
Just a few things to fix up and start working on some cable management for the fans and LEDs. Once the sleeved cables arrive and I can get everything in and start tubing up finally!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The two mounting holes for the 80mm fan grill don't really match unfortunately so will need to fix that
 

 

 
And here's a better look at the finished front panel.
 

 

 

 

 
Stay tuned for more!
 
Cheers,

Okay guys, here it is! The case is nearly done, just need to get the acrylic windows on get the front panel Corsair piece on after cutting.
 
Maybe some of you have been waiting to see this since I announce the chrome painting. I hope you guys won't be disappointed as it this is not chrome but still looks very very good and I really like it. Like I explained, actual chrome paint or chrome plating would have been too expensive for my budged.
 
The panels are spot on and any imperfections you may see are all reflections from the surroundings. Though to bring the case outside to really showcase the paint job.
 
The front panel and also the rear case feet have been colour matched to the blue powder coat!
 

 
You can also see I made an acrylic piece and mounted it on the inside to cover the 5.25" bay. Drilled a small hole in the middle for the power button cable.
 

 

 
Dust filter
 

 
And the front panel cover, might need some cleaning up around the edges but really happy with the glossy look
 

 
Here is a good look at the side panel paint job
 

 

 

 

 

 
Will end up using the Blue vandal switch, fits better than the nickel plated one. Lucky Bill sent me this one too!
 

 

 
And this is the front panel cover, the Corsair shape will be cut out and then painted same as the side panels. This will be stuck over the original front panel cover and still be able to use the clip on feature and access the dust filter behind it.
 

 
Let me know what you guys think! Shady here seems to approve!
 

 
Thanks for checking it out!
 
Cheers,

Hey guys,
 
Here are some photos of the G.Skill memory I will be using and also the EK memory modules.
 
These have been powder coated chrome and as you can see it looks more like a matte silver, so that's why I didn't like the chrome powder coat for the side panels. I will be getting new ram modules and keeping them black but wanted to show you guys this anyway.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Also cleaned up the rear i/o shield
 

 

 
Suits the build better this way!
 

 
 
Stay tuned for more!
 
 
Cheers,

Hey guys,
 
I got the case back from powder coating!
 
Here are some quick shots I took of the case. I think the navy blue looks awesome and matches the fan blade colour really well.
 
The side panels are not finished yet as they had mistakenly coated them the same navy blue, they are now getting redone in chrome.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I will be getting the front panel and rear feet colour matched to the same powder coated blue but will obviously get it painted.
 

 

 

 

 
Thanks for checking it out guys and let me know what you think of the blue, I really like it.
 
Cheers,
 
Alex

Intel has actually stated on their product page that Skylake is safe up until 1.5v, but I still wouldn't recommend going past 1.4v

DDR3 is basically the same price as it was 3 years ago, although 2 years ago a fire took out a major facility. They are probably fully recovered and have just decided to reduce prices because they only have a little while before DDR4 is the go to RAM. Just think... Imagine how cheap they'd have to sell DDR2 for you to buy it. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't take it for free.

No fires atm so yeah.......

Isn't it not really a "cost?" Rather, it's just a loss or cost of potential earnings.

Pro M. Should be launching soon since the evolv atx is out. 

Antec is probably the best of the bunch. IIRC Linus or Like used an Antec PSU in one of the scrapyard builds.

It's tough for me to say, but online reviews (LTT or HardwareCunucks) and I say the closed version has a great sound stage despite being closed back. I'm sure the open back design would be even better. Although, I'm sure the bass won't be as punchy.

Hi!!
 
The build is finally DONE!
 
I'm really happy of how it turns out. Especially with the pastel green coolant!
 
Here's the final shots!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Side panel closed.  Even if the window is smoked it still look nice!

 
 
Some light up shots in the dark
 

 
The IO panel light up on the Gigabyte board 

 

 

 
 
That's it guys! As always thanks for following me in my logs! 
 
 
More to come later this year...

lol, yes... they did seem to intentionally leave off some adjectives, like "extreme" overclocker's dream.

So... There has been a polish overclocker on hwbot forums that has overclocked an AMD R9 Fury's memory to 1 GHz. He also unlocked some shaders to achieve extreme performance (If his result was validated, it would be top 60 Fire Strike Extreme score).
 
http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=142320
 



 
I do wonder what other overclockers can do with a setup like this. While the Fury and FuryX seem to be at their limits on air and AIO water (only ~+10% OC), it seems like there is huge potential under LN2. Some might mention the GPU clock is still relatively low compared to a 980Ti on air, but we all know clock rate isn't the be-all-end-all to performance (glares at 8350).
 
AMD did say they were an overclockers dream.

too bad u cant use ln2 24/7... so all ln2 overclocks are basicly invalid for personal / daily use, ln2 overclocking is more of a competition then it makes sense for real use
 
if only u could use ln2 24/7... we all would be running our cpus at 6ghz(or more ofc) 24/7

Memory sticks are 'keyed' to prevent you from using incorrect technology. In other words, your DDR3 memory will literally not fit into a DDR4 slot. If you wanted to keep your memory, you would have to purchase a special motherboard that explicitly supports DDR3. Additionally, Skylake only supports DDR3L memory (Basically the same thing as DDR3, just undervolted to ~1.3v). This means that if you actually did get a motherboard that supports your current DDR3 memory, you would have to downclock it for it to be stable at such low voltages. All in all, it's not really feasible to reuse your memory.

Just a question, are you using your front-audio connection or connecting it directly to the back of the motherboard?
