  1. What a wild project this one was...The Inwin 925 is by far the most prestigious case Ive ever worked with. An absolute crowd pleaser at work and 100k views on Tpbmods, THIS IS FUEL! Spec List: CPU - i7 8700k Delidded @5.2ghz Mobo - Maximus X Code in that Floro Red GPU - RTX 2070S on EKWB Vector Acrylic Ram - TeamGroup Vulcan Z 16gb (Thanks to Mikes Computer Shop) PSU - Inwin pb1250w Sleeved with Teleios(Mainframe), combed with Clockwerk ind. Knuckles Storage - TeamGroup Delta Max ARGB SSD Lighting - TeamGroup Captain ARGB Controller Cooling - Inwin Aurora 120 ARGB Watercooling - All EKWB Baby! That FLT 360 d5 was a NIGHTMARE to get in here. Combined with 2 360x45 rads, and a whole plethora of Quantum Torque fittings, the Velocity blocks kept everything chilly. And I cant forget that gorgeous res designed by Leighton B!
  2. Thank you @vukos I specifically gave into Huawei just for the p30 pro. But all my editing was done with the windows 10 editor
  3. Ill keep it in mind for sure. Unfortunately I wont be spending any money on projects this year as im getting married on Halloween! Time to save save save.
  4. I really appreciate the kind words @Frayia Drives are DEFINITELY a weak point in my system, im using some Adata m.2, an older samsung ssd and the TeamGroup Vulcan

I want too give my greatest appreciation to Inwin USA, EK Waterblocks, TeamGroup and Dazmode for their continued support.

  6. Ahh yes, The Big Mountain Velika Planina was named and themed in respect to EKWB and this gorgeous piece of mountain, and the beautiful purple flowers that bloom in its plateau. Fun fact, its only an hour drive from EK HQ!
  7. Thank you @WWicket unfortunately at this time no. Final shots are always saved for build logs, and I keep all my progress shots dedicated to my Social medias as I normally do. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Instagram Same name. I want to give those who support and follow me a story, something to grow with and offer input!
  8. Another month, another build... one of my top 3 favorite projects of this year. Velika Planina was named and themed in respect to EKWB and this gorgeous piece of mountain, and the beautiful purple flowers that bloom in its plateau. Fun fact, its only an hour drive from EK HQ! This one is special to me, in so many ways! Tried out some new painting techniques, first time playing with fresh off the line watercooling, and I had the opportunity to document my work in finer detail and use the parts provided to me to create tutorials. I made all the fan splitters from scratch and terminated the RGB fans into 1 plug per radiator. This project was graciously sponsored by EKWB, It took almost 3 years modding to get the YES... And damn does it feel amazing. The Tou2.0 Inspired front panel for the Inwin 303 came to me after having this case sitting at my feet for nearly 2 whole years. System specs: Cpu - Intel i7 8700k, Delidded at 5.2ghz Mobo - Asus Maximus Code, with Mountain peak inspired paint Gpu - EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ram - TeamGroup T-Force Nighthawk 4x8gb @ 3200mhz , with Mountain peak inspired paint OS Storage - Samsung 970 evo m.2 Game Storage - TeamGroup T-Force Delta 2 SSD , with Mountain peak inspired paint and UV LED's PSU - Seasonic Focus +Gold 850w Cables - Tpbmods, Made with Teleios Full EKWB Cooling solution: Cpu - Velocity RGB Nickel + Plexi Gpu - Vector RTX 2080 RGB Nickel + Plexi w/Nickel backplate Pump/Res - Xres 140 Revo D5 RGB Wrapped in mountains.

Velika Planina
  9. Hey guys and gals, Tpbmods here with a how to manage 12v RGB cables tutorial. This is an advanced mod, do not attempt this if you cant A:Solder, B:Fix mistakes, and ? Afford to replace the hardware if you ruin it. The tools you will need for this mod are quite simple, and any modder will have these on hand. Soldering Iron, Solder, wire cutters, Xacto(optional), lighter or heatgun, Heatshrink! And optionally, Sleeving. Start by getting all your cables run as clean and snug as possible, and mark the cables where they will be cut. A tip from Alex Banks over at Bit-Tech, is to make little wings out of tape to keep note of orientation. once your wires are stripped and splayed, get them all taped together and tap em together with a bit of solder. Always make sure to use heatshrink! Take the time to get everything as snug and clean as possible And thats it! Clean up the cables, use a few zap straps to tidy it up! Now get out there and clean up those wires!
  10. Thats odd, its like the end of the link or something. That last script is actually nothing lol.
  11. Hey everyone, Tpbmods here! Today Im here to tell you, Stop painting your damn radiator fins... I mean, show you how to paint your EK Radiators! Unlike pretty much every other radiator on the market, EKWB designed theirs to be taken apart. The process is simple, can be done in a reasonable time frame(paint dependent) and takes nearly no real skill to pull off! The Tools - All you need to pull apart your EK rad is a blade to pop the badge, a Torx T10 for the 8 screws in the top and bottom, and a 9mm Allen key for the extensions. Sanding - Prep is key! The more time you spending working on the surface to be painted, the better your finish will be. I personally used a palm sander and 180grit wet/dry to make quick work of the original finish. You can do this by hand, with a power tool, sandblaster, or even paint stripper/Easy Off oven spray. Once you're happy with the finish, clean the surface from all dusts and oils. Because I am using a high pigment acrylic paint, my only interest was getting to some bare metal for paint adhesion. I lightly put the screws back in because I planned on hanging these, and didn't want paint where it shouldn't be. Painting - Like sanding, this can be done in many ways. My weapon of choice is high pigment, acrylic based rattle can. Rattle Can, Airbrush, paint gun. Maybe you want to hit it with some alcohol stain or get it plated? Proper prep and patience is key Here I hit the frames with a VERY light coat of chrome base just to have a strong and bright base to get my color to really pop. After painting, it was time to wait. For some people, this can be hours or even days depending on the finish you want to go for, and the paint you are using. With my choice in paint, my dry time is quick; and time between coats is even faster. And because I didnt want to bother with clearcoat, its done! Now its time to very carefully reassemble your gorgeous new frame back around the interior core, taking extra care not to smash things around anywhere the frame comes in contact with itself. The last thing you want, is chipping or scratching that fresh new look. Get the extensions reinstalled, and then re-apply your EK badge! Adhesive got ruined? double sided tape works wonders! Hope this has been helpful, and I cant wait to see what you come up with
  12. Thanks @Deltawing457 Im hoping that regardless of getting the position, this information collected will be utilized to make 2020 and even greater year for LTX
  13. Submitted my survey, and I have also created a bit more of an in-depth one for independent research
  14. Hey everyone, I created an independent survey form that I would like to use as part of my submission proposal to apply for the Event Coordinator position. If you would like your say, I left my link below! https://forms.gle/d2md6pHoXcEk92cX6
