Posted July 4, 2014 Yodel really are the worst. They do not give a shit about any parcels and just throw them about. When one of their vans pulled up to deliver something for me they where literally chucking parcels around trying to find mine in the van. Ebuyer should switch to DPD like OCUK. By far in a way the best couriers i have used. Simple Stryker (Now Finished ;) ) The Terrible HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 4, 2014 Author Why did you go for the cosmos II? And dang Nice titans <3 Space and cooling. Whilst I'm not pro water cooling I am fitting a H110, and it's a 280mm rad. Plus the board is ATX XL. Whilst I could have gotten something smaller and no doubt a lot cheaper that would have defeated the idea... Up until now I have been using an overclocked AMD FX 8320. I had a piece of luck (literally just that) and ended up with a very large sum of money. So basically I wanted the best of everything, and I mean everything. Hence why I 'wasted' an extra £60 buying Dominator Plats instead of like, Vengeance or something and why I bought Titans instead of 6gb 780s (I was insistent on 6gb vram.. especially after Watchdogs..). So it's decadence dude. Total decadence. Any way I decided (being a little paranoid) to open up the items and check they weren't damaged. Starting with the PSU.. A nice touch ! So here she is and she's a biggun ! It's kinda weird really. I've never, ever been able to afford components of such a high grade so every time I look at them I have to remember that they're actually real. Very surreal all of this. Any way, time for some Titan Black fun. And unwrapped.. And time to look at the board. First impressions? holy.fuck.that.is.a.big.fucking.motherboard... And the certificate of quality control. And then I found this in the hall way entrance to my flat. One hella big tube of thermal compound lol. So all that's missing are the 3 140mm fans. Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz.

Posted July 5, 2014 I had a piece of luck (literally just that) and ended up with a very large sum of money. So basically I wanted the best of everything, and I mean everything. Wow! That's great to hear, did you win the lottery or something? But either way, damn, you dropped a heap of cash on this. I had some luck come my way and I got a $6,000 scholarship from my uni, but I didn't have the stomach to drop too much on my PC (already a 3930K + R9 290X), was so tempted to get another 290X, but just didn't have it in me. Good spending here though! I'm loving this!

Posted July 5, 2014 Author OK so update time. Last night I got the case out and fitted some fans. It's a big case lol. Here are the two 120mm side intakes fitted. And the hard drive fans. The CPU arrived this morning (yay ! even has the EE sticker !) and last night at 7:30 the doorbell went. It was Yodel, with a small box they had forgotten. In it were the 140mm fans, so I now have everything. Well, that's what I thought any way, until I forgot I didn't have one of these.. Managed to find one in the UK yay ! so that's ordered, should be here Monday. Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram. AMD Fury X.Asus RAIDR.OCZ ARC 480gb SSD.

Posted July 5, 2014 Author Oh sweet So the real build is starting soon? Yup. I just spent the past two hours readying the case for the build. Removed all the excess wiring, sorted out the case wiring (and god, there's a lot !) and removed both doors so I can get easier access. Will put up some more photos later probably Area 51 2014.

Posted July 6, 2014 Author OK so the build log. Please note this is far from finished ! I have some serious mods left to do.. So I tidied up the wiring that comes with the case. And then fitted the PSU. Cracked out the board. And turned the case around. A shot of the cavernous interior ! OK. So what I was most worried about, the CPU. Seems legit... And time came to fit it to the motherboard. After wrestling with it for a while nervously I finally realised that 2011 has two mechs, both need to be engaged. Very odd ! Board in.. OK, interlude.. One 7" Android tablet.. Keep and eye out for that thing in the next week or so. It's going to be a part of the PC itself. Wiring, and a couple of hard drives. Wires. Tidy. Then it was round to the back for some cable management. OK so time to fit the H110. Remove the top. And open up the cooler. Get out all the bits. And then TIM clean the pump. I am using my own TIM. Fans And fit. Turn it back around.. Fit the pump Fit the SSD Sorted. Right round to the back. Aaaaand.. BEAST. Specs. Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram.
