Hey everyone, first timer here. If you have visited the build logs sub-forum you have probably seen my build. My first custom loop build was named Polar Horizon (http://www.overclock.net/t/1621608/other-finished-build-wallywest-polar-horizon/0_50) and my second one, which was a lot more popular, White Zenith http://www.overclock.net/t/1622091/inwin-303-white-zenith/0_50. It looks like InWin also liked my second one a lot because they offered me a sponsorship for an In Win 805 and an In Win Classic 750W Platinum and I gladly accepted.

The third build will be a clean build without heavy mods. It will be called OCTARINE, why Octarine? Because Octarine represents the color of magic from the universe Discworld from the author Terry Pratchett. I feel like this build should also be magic because it's my first (and not the last) sponsored build :)

Quote

It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself.

id go for a STRIX card here, think it would fit the build pretty good :) 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Yeah, the water cooling is really expensive. I can overclock my 1700 to 4.1GHz, so the 1800X I dont really need the 1800X.

Yeah. too bad I don't have proper tool to test it :/ but Jonny did a good test.http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=485

 

So it's a good looking PSU with an average internal.

Oh Johnny Guru did a review of it? Its all good then :)

 

But i guess you should've go with something from Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi for the best performance for your money

The PSU is sponsored, I already have a Seasonic Prime 850 Titanium. The InWin look way better than the Seasonic, they are both very silent. I think they are aimed at two different market:

-The InWin is more balanced I think: really good looking, good internal, good presentation, good price 

-The Seasonic is pricey, but with amazing internal.

Check out his other InWin build: 

 You can see why he got sponsored in the first place.

I am proud to announce you that Watercool/Heatkiller is sponsoring the waterblock of my build. It's a really great addition to my build with their quality products
