I like the block on the left but I think the right one matches your CPU block better. Also nice painting. The yellow on the fans looks awesome.

Yeah I agree but I think the one on the left has a bit more "flair" to it.  Not sure what I'll decide on it the end lol

Yeah I do prefer the one on the left. Just saying the right one looks like it matches more.

Somewhat of an update, messed around with my 290x today, it seems to nearly want to do 1200 mhz on the core with +100mv, but it needs a tad bit more voltage I reckon.  It does 1150 without issue, 1175 no issue, but 1200 appears to be the wall. Once it's watercooled I'll mess with it a little bit more.

Let me know if you want a 290x Lightning + EK blocks for a ridiculous price, I know someone selling his barely used set.

I would but I probably don't need it. I'll end up selling my 290x + block later down the road to get something else most likely lol

I dunno. I guess I could get a paypal thing going on and maybe getting my shop in classifieds. No idea.

 

You should, it'll be a nice little income earner your work is very good man. You should get yourself out there and noticed.

Well if you can get parts cheap you might as well if you're going to watercool the 290x anyway.

That would mean I'd have to sell my 290x, pay ebay fees / paypal fees / pay to ship it, to get a slight benefit in overclocking though.

 

My budget is already dependant on if people buy my motherboard + 3930k + 900D + 780.   I don't want to stretch it anymore than it already is

Mhmm yeah and then you've gotta wait for someone to actually buy it as well. Tech is a bugger sometimes.

Somewhat of an update, went to the store 2 days ago and grabbed some more paint, but a glossier finish so that they won't be matte yellow. (The model paint I was using was really difficult to get an even coat, and looks sorta bad)

 

Also my friend that still owed me $120 for my 780 paid me that, I'm a bit closer to having the money to purchase my things now.  

 

Also, I'm selling my 290x to buy that lightning 290x + a waterblock from vsg's buddy.

 

I may have to air cool for awhile, depending on how much $ I get from helping my grandparents this weekend.

 

 

 

Edit: I may need your guys's opinions on what pattern for my custom sleeving, I'll most likely be getting that from icemodz this week.

 

 

That's all for now peoples, until the next update I'll be sitting here listening to beautiful music with these babies:

It's a tough market for sellers, especially with electronics it seems. I've been trying to sell stuff (not on LTT) for quite a while, and nobodies biting

Someone buy his 290x so I can get him one of the best 290x Lightnings from a Top 10 HWBot bencher (aka binned and at a great price too). If I didn't have these KPEs, I would have jumped on it the second I saw the listing.

LOL xD

 

 

I am so confused as to what type of pattern to do for the cables..  I'm thinking lightish silvery-gray, yellow, black.  But I dunno how to arrange them to tell the guy what I want :(

I pretty much had the same idea as Norman. On a side note, I need an update banner as well!

And you're the one with the "utterly imbalanced" build! What a small world (/forum)
