Haha that is a great Idea to release it than

Looks cool, but why such a bad CPU? I had this CPU and it performed very underwhelmingly is that a word? even over clocked.

bottom line cost. it was a sponsored part so i am grateful I may traide up to a better 990fx chip before its all said and done with. and there is lots of room for refreshes down the line

 

stay tuned

I was going red and black on my current build had to change it to get certain motherboard layout that worked for me.So I went blue and black ,happy with my choice ! build link down bellow

[MrBishop]

things are moving along nicely. still trying to figure out the reservoir. the build started out with a DDC pump but as fate would have it i ended up with a D5 so now i have some interesting decisions to make in regards to the reservoir. any suggestions? i'm considering primochill for a pump top res. their new equipment is really nice!. ultra clean

Not very practical but looks awesome! haha. Can't wait to see more

[MrBishop]

yeah. its all for show. and i agree. it came out way better than i'd hoped

 

i have to make a support bracket for the sapphire card because is huge. and HEAVY.

i'm sure i can find a cool way to hide it behind the card next to the motherboard or something.

 

thanks for the sub

[A.D.A.M]

Such coolness i think i will sub to this
