[WIP] Snef's Sand of God

[JoshM]

Dude you do the best builds, even when some aren't quite my taste I am amazed every time, thank-you. 

[Exotath]

EK sure does make some nice stuff and it only gets better once it is in your hands Snef.

 

Keep em' coming.

[MrWizard1974]

Epic build. Top notch in every way. Makes me want to get back into full custom loops

[Snef]

Thanks guys,

just a couple of pics of the monster in the rig

I didn't mount the photo-shoot setup, no time to do that today and

heu.... wait a minute, someone take sand of god for a house, who is it????

loll....... not sure if I will tolerate him in my computer, maybe use him as mascot?????

I did some OC test this morning, (2AM)

and without any effort, I reach 1375mhz with 1.2v on Galaxy Bios with 75c at full load

stress test for 50 minutes and no issue, now need to test it in games

I did some 3dmark bench at 1320mhz on gpu and 4.5ghz on cpu and not so far from my tri-fire 7970

an sli of these will destroy tri-fire, im pretty sure

[Raboo]

WOW a great build

[cliff_182]

wow

[Father Fuzzy]

Looks great Snef

 

Super gpu

[FluffyNuggets]

Amazing! 

[Fonzie Scheme]

So, the earlier pics were done with a point-and-shoot! What camera? and what's your method! All of your shots look fantastic. Oh, one other question... when did you win the lottery? lol

[Snef]

i finally put my GPU under water

a couple of pics, i really need to take some photography course

anyway

and this is my 24/7 GPU OC

test with valley for more than 2 hours

never go higher than 52c, not able to see VRM temp

this GPU is monster

hope the Ti HOF have same OC ability

[L_Dub]

As always your amazing builds put even some of the best work to shame....

 

That being said IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!

Finally gratz on the great GPU.

[Raboo]

Love that water block

[CJPowell27]

Hate to be that guy but the blue on the capacitors on the GPU stick out like a sore thumb. Maybe rub it off with some alcohol? Anyways very sexy build once again Snef

[Snef]

No issue here, i like this comments,

Yeah, i first plan was pout white or gold sticker on these caps

But someone told me just use nail polish remover, its easy and remove only paint

I forgot to say, this build is not finish, still lot of work

[liveturbo24]

I want it so bad. Amazing awesome build

[FluffyNuggets]

Your photography skills seem really good considering you're not using a DSLR. Great job though, always nice to see something original!

He is using a DSLR... 

New camera is a Canon t3.

[Snef]

im using a DSLR only for last bunch of pics

all previous was by point and shoot

and I have learned a lesson today, need to take my time in Adobe Lightroom

I repost some pics

resize and edit a bunch of pics

let me know if its better

thanks

tell me what you think?

[FluffyNuggets]

I think they look really nice!

Sorry didn't realize you were taking them with a SLR, guess that's why they look so good!

If you don't have a Macro lens you might want to get one to play around zooming into things like the sleeving or something. I got a Sigma 300mm lens for my Nikon D5100 for around $140 on Amazon. They have a version for Canons also for around the same price.

I haven't used the macro function much but I did play around shooting my sons toy cars and it turned out amazing just messing around with it.

With a Macro lens you can take pictures you didn't was think possible with your camera.

Either way, that build is just amazing and you could shoot it with a disposable camera and it would still make most of us foam at the mouth.

Honestly, I have no idea lol. It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Something with a small amount of flash memory.

[Raboo]

Looks so good

Hey Snef, with the thermal armor: Did you sand it down or prime it or do anything before applying the white rust-oleum paint, or just sprayed it? And did you clear coat it after or just left it as-is?

 

Also, how well did the back piece fit in the case? It looks flush with the tray, is it a perfect fit or did you have to leave the screws a bit loose to accommodate it?

 

Curious about all this because I'm also doing a build in an S5 (I asked you a couple BitFenix Recon questions via PM a few weeks ago) and already have the thermal armor ordered, just curious what to expect when it gets here.

I wouldn't sand it as it has a texture but rather use self etching primer and paint it whatever color you want and I would personally clear coat it unless you want a flat black or something.

Love this build, how long did all that sleeving that though not sure if I would have the patience to do that haha
