Metallic Ice V2.0

[Evgesha9400]

Here is the second iteration of my rig. 

 

The first one was called metallic ice and I uploaded it around two years ago, unfortunately at that time linus tech tips was on Vbulletin that absolutely refused to upload my pics. After a year i decided to upgrade to the NZXT's H440 and H100i plus a fan swap. I was planning to do a full watercooling loop but unfortunately EVGA is being really annoying with their exclusive, non-existent, unattainable waterblocks.

I disassembled the graphics card to change the thermal paste/pads and to clean out the dust that accumulated over the year. 

 

Specification: 

 

• NZXT H440 White and Black
• Asus Sabertooth Z77 
• Intel Core I7 3770k
• 2 x EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4gb 
• 32Gb Corsair Vengeance
• Corsair AX1200i with white sleeved cables
• 3TB Seagate 7200rpm (main storage)
• Corsair Force 3 120Gb SSD (boot drive)
• Asus Xonar Essence STX
• Corsair H100i
• 4 x Corsair AF120 Performance edition
• 2 x Corsair SP120 Performance edition for the rad
• 2 x Bitfenix Alchemy White LED strips

Here is the first version. I thought i'd reupload since the pics got lost in the transition from Vbulletin.

Looks really nice but why did you take the GPU heatsink & fans off?

How u got that side panel for Phantom 410 mate...??

 

I used a dremel to cut out the window, vinyl wrapped it and then glued the u-channel in. It was actually pretty easy, just make sure to mask the side panel, because if the dremel slips it will ruin the side panel.

Thank you. I was considering to paint the motherboard, but it is just too much effort.
