Played around with a couple of loop options, 1st was the standard CPU > GPU1 > GPU2

then I tested how it performs going from CPU> GPU1 & 2

 

My temp on GPU 2 was slightly better & it looked cooler so im sticking with that option :)

 

Im still getting temps around 3c to 5c hotter on my GPU2 compared to GPU1.

could be I need to redo the paste again or tighten the plate up a bit more

will mess with it a bit more if the temp on GPU hits 60c or more when hardcore gaming.

Also completed the Alphacool logo, RGB controlled, so far I like RED & BLUE, hard to get some good pics of the reds though :(

The new controller has 6 temp monitors,

I plan to just use 3 for now, room temp, desk temp & GPU backplate temp

Have a couple of updates today, missed some days this week due to Metal gear Solids release :D

been anticipating its release for years!

 

anyway, before I head back to Afghanistan to capture sheep heres some updates :)

 

Wanted to make some covers for the SSDs, by modding some old 360 HD holders

I can now cover SSDs without having to mess-about taking my new drives apart & losing

the warranty.

also means should I upgrade them later & can just keep using the same covers :)

 

Decided to used the Phobya logo as its dark & mean looking "like the desk"

& is one of my favourite sponsor logo.

20150817_223531_zps9c4lhg5e.jpg

 

 

after drawing & cutting the logos I then painted with the same flat black used on other parts of the desk

Modified the centre cover to now have an extra blow hole, this is the cover I made to help direct the air towards the GPU.

the air also travels along the bottom of the cover, will show that when I do the final photos.

Not a great photo or RGB selection, but this is to show the SSD covers in place along with the blow hole cover that you 

can just about see above the SSDs

 

20150819_013356_zpslehvz528.jpg

 

 

A year or two ago I painted the CM Reaper mouse (white & black)

so for this desk iv decided to paint it again but just plan flat black to match everything else

 

Standard.

1st mods

New

Redone the covers, the carbon I originally used was reflecting too much light for my liking, making it look slightly messy,.

so, as with the other re-works I went for a more plane & slick look, yep!

flat black again :D

 

20150823_144759_zpswgtlpq9a.jpg

 

 

the tape aroud the centers are covering the clear, iv sanded to clear to help with lighting, plan is that they will be RGB.

one last update,

Today ASUS has kindly sent me some goodies, the main one is the xonar u7 echelon edition sound card..

really nice finish on the xonar so I don't want to flat black it if I can help it.

Amazing progress! Great tubing runs on that 295.

 

And that sound card is an external dac? Looks really cool, but you should mod it into the desk so you just see the knob.

Thanks mate,

The sound card was a tricky one, due to the wires & colour im going to hide it a but, its going under the top shelf facing down with the mic/HS ports at the front.

this way I can still get to it easy but hide wires & not have to repaint it,

I like the finish on it, had it been more basic looking & feeling I would have painted it even if its hidden. ~

they do a plane black one that would have been more fitting for my desk, but had none in stock :(

I originally only had super bright white LEDs on the 2 corners, after seeing how it looks all completed & decided to add RGB option, It looks great!
should have added them from the start, still keeping the super bright white LEDs as there great for back/room lighting.

Maybe you cloud get the cheap $37 tablet that was on Unbox Therapy (don't remember the name) and permanently attache that to the TUF detective, you could probably work that into the desk somehow. And you already know what I'm going to say about the build so far.
