[Build Log] Ice White by Ymac

[Ymac]

HUGE UPDATE!!!! 56K warning!

well, it's been a while since I uploaded any updates about the project, which does not mean nothing happened, actually A LOT happened.
first of all I was in Canada (eh?) to visit family (and NCIX stores )
and I was too lazy to make an update.

so... what do we have?

A NEW GPU!

YES! it is the GTX 780! the EVGA one, cause they're awesome.

well, you might say, "Ymac, you are going WC aren't you? and you have a 680 block"
problem solved!





wait a minute, what's that bitspower tap, and stop fitting and a fillport?!
well, as I said, I was in Canada, in Canada there's a DazMode store...you see where I go with that.
so in addition to that TITAN SE block, I got few other components
let's have a look..

IF you did not noticed all of it, don't worry, I have got a lot of pics
la fittings:

la macro:

la pump top:

la reservoir:

la mod kit:


Yes, no pump and radiator yet I ran out of Canadian money

let's have a look at the config assembled: (white balance is a little off, sorry)





those green O rings need to GO...


and I got my first mechanical keyboard!
a Ducky Shine 2 DK9008 with white keycaps, MX brown switches and blue LED backlight.
some glamor shots:




the full keyboard: (sorry, iPhone quality)





Some impressions so far: I Love her! the mechanical switches are so nice feedback, makes me want to type all day long!
So that's it for this update! I will make a Performance PCs order very soon with radiator, pump, fans and more goodies!
stay tuned!

Judging from the name the color theme of the build is Ice White

Thank you all for the support

 

Did some paparazzi of the guts today, current position:

 

Cable management is far from completion, I will re-build it as soon as the rest of the components arrive.

 

 

Dat stock cooler, a shame it needs to come off...

 

 

My Corsair A70 with stock push + NF-F12 pull O_o

[J4M35]

dat 780. man i love the stock coolers on the 780/titan. but water blocks still look better imo

[megadarkwood]

You should sleeve the cables if you are not already.

[Ymac]

that will be next

I spent all my money on watercooling, cosmetics later

the AX850 is a nightmare to sleeve, and time is not a thing I have plenty of (school etc...)

[Mitrailleuse]

Pretty decent  :rolleyes:

[upliftsleet1974]

This is one amazing rig....You are very lucky

Thanks!

just about to place an order at PPCS, do you have cupon codes for there? I only have the OCN55 one...

 

I am wondering if an Enermax TB-Apolish in the rear of the case will be nice or "too much".

 

good night (here at least)

List of watercooling components?

Well i guess if you can't sleeve them you will have to buy those Bitfenix Extension Cable things

ooooooh Is this your first custom loop?

[Ymac]

ooooooh Is this your first custom loop?

yup 

 

which is better, the EK backplate, or the EVGA backplate (8$ cheaper)?

the EK one has the advantage of full comparability with the waterblock, with the EVGA I'll have to use custom screws.

I would say go with the evga back plate, looks so much better, and it should come with its own screw set so you shouldn't have to use custom screws, unless they use a different thread and don't fit the ek waterblock

Very Good with the Sleeved Cables

Unfortunately they do.

EK uses M3X4 bolts, and EVGA uses a different type, and it seems now that even the screws location is not compatible with the block.

what a shame.
