it will be watercooled so I'm not woried

I am not an expert on watercooling, but what are the temps the cards could get with watercooling then?

I'm expecting ~50c under load, and the heat won't transfer much to the surrounding air as heat is transfered and dissipated elswhere

I'm going with ''Valknut'' for the 5 1/4 bay plate (plate dimension is wrong)
I've also startet working on a motherboard-tray cover plate, which should be done early next week  

[ToroddWold]

From this:

 

 

 

To this:

 

Still a lot to be done.

Just a small update on my progress with the mobo plate  
I still need to make a couple more cutouts for cables
 

 

Marked up the screw holes and where the 24pin needs to go through

 

drilling the holes

 

 

Rough cutout 



The rubber grommet still fitts perfectly

 

[ToroddWold]

Valknut plate just needs painting now  

 

 

 

[ToroddWold]

 

 

 

Painting the plate

 

 

 

Finally got the waterblocks and backplates
seems like they have had problems getting them in stock since the launch of the 980ti (EK using titan x blocks for 980ti)
I don't like that EK chose to go this route, the TITAN X engraving bothers me more than it should... :wacko:  

 

 

 

soon I can paint the case

 

 

 

I carbon fiber wraped the MOBO plate I made, still need to make the wires for 2 GPUs and finish the midplate
Still lots of work left..
but it sure is funn

[ToroddWold]

case striped down and the panels sent  for painting (excuse the mess)

 

 

 

 

 

420 rad back from painting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

small tease  

[ToroddWold]

 

 

 

Case put back together

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

almost ready to fill her up

 

 

 

 

 

Working into the night

 

 

 

 

 

started filling

 

 

 

 

Side panel all done (finger print magnet)

WOOP WOOP IT'S NOT DEAD, I REPEAT, THE BUILD IS NOT DEAD

[Hackentosher]

[JT8101997]

Looks great How did you make your midplate?

I considered it, but I really don't want to have to drain my loop for a little while... (the block was released just as I was finishing my loop)

not that the SSD needs cooling... 

I might get one later 

Looks great How did you make your midplate?

thanks  

The midplate was made using a 2mm alu plate and a 3mm white plexi plate (actually one 2mm and a 1mm glued togheter)

both were laser cut at a local workshop.

I can get the dimensions if you want, but they're not exact as I had to file some down to get it to fit

PROJECT SLEIPNIR BACK ONLINE! HAZZAH!

I've always wondered: Why do people like you have all that advanced machinery necessary for modding? You didn't get it just for modding, did you?

p.s.

The horse is sick

[BeardRex]

Wohoo Viking build!!

[Deaven]

Glad to come back and see you've been working!

 

Hoping for some quality pictures as a finale.

as for the final photos, they're on the way

That is a nice looking build GZ ! I´ve had the 900D and it is a very good case, you´ve worked very hard on this to get rid of all the flaws that it has, and done a great job!
