Hey everyone! First update for this build. Got a few components so I thought I would get straight to work. There are more components on the way today, so I will have another post soon. There may be a few teasers Enjoy! Just some pictures of the board. The CPU Block is already installed onto the board, I forgot to take pictures of the install. Installed the Ram onto the board.

Thank you!

I've owned it for about a year now, The fan probably wont even be spinning most of the time. Will probably be running the AP-15s @ 5V if there's not any strange motor noise.

Welcome Everyone! Thanks for checking out this build log. I will update this log daily as It will probably be 1-2 weeks before it is fully completed. I would like to give a huge thanks to Mundi from @Icemodz. He has sleeved everything In this build!

Yes there is a difference. Retail: You can use the Key on I believe 3 PCs at any given point in time. OEM: Once you change the motherboard of a Rig you will need to re-enter the key due to the hardware change.

CPU overclock-ability is never guaranteed with Haswell. Welcome to the Silicon Lottery, Good Luck.

Replace the acrylic with glass and you wont have the micro scratching problem that has plagued everyone.

For 400 quid you can go on amazon.co.uk and get a 4770k and get a decent z87 board ( gigabyte z87 ud4h, msi z87 gd65, etc) and still have around 20 quid left over.

Signature edition usually includes a shirt, mouse pad, poster. Also, this really isn't 5 different versions of the Titan Black edition. There all reference, 2 have waterblocks on them, 3 don't.

For 120mm on a Rad: Scythe Gently Typhoons, Silverstone AP-123, Noctua NF-F12s, Noiseblocker E-Loops, Noise block PL2. For 140mm for Case fans: No idea

Build quality of Corsair cases lately have seriously been below par.

You cant put 2 4960x CPUs in that board. If you wanna do dual CPUs you will need Xeons.

You can Try either Icemodz.com or lutro0-Customs.com

Caselabs Mercury S5

If you really need all that bandwidth for your PCI-E lanes, why not go for LGA 2011? More native bandwidth > PLX chips I would also recommend you look at other cases than the 900D, while it is good, The QC issues that corsair has and build quality issues I wouldn't go for that case in a higher end rig. Personally, I would recommend you look at cases from Caselabs. There build quality, QC, and options is not surpassed by anyone.

If you really want a iTX case in that price range, I would recommend a Caselabs Mercury S3. Its 100% Aluminium and way more functional but however is bigger in size compared to the ncase m1.

Other: Water.

Gentle Typhoon AP15s and undervolt them.

The lack of functionality doesn't excite me.

They do have a toll free number ( 1 888-222-4346 ). Give it a shot.

The master race doesn't need sleep.

Have you gone to the Asus support website and downloaded the latest drivers for your LAN? Im not sure what you can do for the audio light though, I think it looks pretty.

May want to take a look at Icemodz

The case has every single stand off you need for an ATX/ETX motherboards pre installed.
