Posted September 11, 2014 Author The benchmarks (CPU overclocked) CPU: i5-4690K Stock speed: 3.5Ghz Overclock: 4.4Ghz@1.2V The Process I did some benchmark because I think it's another step of making a new build. I also overclocked the CPU at a stable speed of 4.4Ghz@1.2V. Each stress was performed with the computer case closed and the fan speed set at normal. My room doesn't have AC and the tests were done a few days ago (end of summer).

Posted September 16, 2014 Author Nice build, but you need to reconsider your method of thermal interface material application. <_<Good catch! Yes I know, it was my first time ever using thermal paste and I screwed it up. Some people told me that the GPU should be around 23°C at idle and 43°C at load (with AC in the room). I don't have AC in my house and I'm between 28 and 30°C at idle. I'm around 42°C at load (when playing games like Titanfall and CoD). Sometimes with Heaven Benchmark, it goes up to 46°C depending when I run the test... For one of my tests, it went to 41°C which I think is pretty good (in the image below, check the top right corner). This is definitively a lesson-learned. I might re-apply the thermal paste when I clean my loop next year. That is one of the most beautiful builds i have ever seen.c :blink:Cool, thank you!

Posted September 16, 2014 Author Do i spot 1680 x 1050? Yes, this is the maximum resolution of my monitor (Samsung T220). I'll check if I can increase the resolution in the unigine heaven setup tonight, but if I remember you can't change anything once you tick Extreme. Thank you for spotting this.

Posted September 22, 2014 Author Which monitors where you thinking of getting? the g sync one? I still do not know which monitor I want. Ideally, I would like to have one in white, but they are not that popular (so pretty hard to find). I'll keep looking around. For some reasons, I have already crossed the Asus ROG from my list, I really don't like that monitor (don't know why). I'm also looking for a custom keyboard, something like this: Orange Horizon (Parvum Systems S2 (mATX), i5-4690K, GTX 780TI, 16GB CL9, 500GB, Custom Loop)Purple Horizon (Parvum Systems The Veer (mITX), i5-4690K, GTX 970, 240GB, Custom Loop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 22, 2014 id get it if i could afford it and custom braid the wire? I meant how it connects. It's just in an incredibly bad spot. It's a right angle connector on the outside edge of the case. If it weren't for that, it would be an absolutely perfect keyboard...
