Project Minivalidus an X99 NCASE Build.

[d33g33]

As i'm about to tear this system down and start getting X99 parts I figured I should probably bench the existing systems for any comparisons so here we have a few benches.

 

CPU @ 4.9ghz

GPU @ 1453mhz

 

Unigene Heaven

 

Unigene Valley

 

Asus RealBench

 

3D Mark

 

Cinebench

 

And Tomb Raider

 

This will be good reference to find any benefits of going to X99 for me.

CPU, Mem and Motherboard are sold.

 

This is MiniValidus Ver 1.0 Signing off.

That didn't take long. On another note we need to stop meeting each other like this

Then stop stalking me

Then stop stalking me

It's not stalking we are just taking a long internet walk with only me knowing about it

Hey mate, love the build! I just wanted to ask how much the ncase came too with postage/import taxes? I am thinking about getting one myself!

I think it was $270AUD all up.

Dude you trolled hard on FB today

Just watched Linus' build. Good that the adapter fits the H100i which will tie me over until I go custom loop. Also insight into the OC achievable as well.

Well good luck jamming it in there

It would fit no problems. But I probably never will. Will just use it on the bench while I figure out the custom loop.

So the first part for the move to X99 arrived yesterday.
 
Some Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x 8gb 2400mhz DDR4. Nice and cheap, reviews suggest they overclock well.

 

 
I'm hoping to upgrade to 2x16gb modules in the future.

 

I was hoping I would have the motherboard by now but not yet...

 

Stay tuned!

[GhostWindGamer]

Very nice I like

[d33g33]

I don't think anyone can grasp how excited I am right now!

Awesomeness is amongst us...

Explode

 

Fade

 

 

A bit (a lot) late, but could you make an inverted fade? Wouldn't it also be more useful, from a usability standpoint?

Eh? They are presets by Ducky...

[d33g33]

Couldn't resist,

 

Ran out to a nearby shop at lunch!

[GhostWindGamer]

It's photo time!
 
New CPU now that we are going X99, the Intel 5820k
 

 

 
And, after a long tedious wait, I present to you...
 
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac :D
 

 

 

 

 

 
Mmmmmmmmmmmm 2011-3
 

 

 

 
Might as well start throwing it together!
 

 

 

 

 

 
And finally the system together, note: not finished, but together.
 
Man this is one very compact build. Custom cables will a lot but custom loop in this with dual rads is going to be a real challenge. Also you don't want to know how I got that GTX980 in there...
 

 
Thanks for stopping by, now for lots of measuring and the procurement of watercooling parts!
