Tell us a little more about the build. How did you end up with the GTX 590?
How about some pictures?

There are some photos in imgur I linked down on the post

 

 

I ended up with the 590 partly because I wanted to test out some physX feature's with Warthunder, and partly it's like man cmon -90 class dual gpu ? +it's Fermi :3

Oh, I didn't even see it was a link. I thought you forgot to put the pictures in..  :lol:

Looks pretty awesome. I like the all black look.

[Ahokas99]

Even though I've got two overclocked 580's on a single card, I get an average of 70 degree load- which isn't too shabby.

My top's at 87ºc and is fairly quiet,  even though I have a 470 too and it top's out at 92ºc with little oc

Not the best picture's, since Galaxy S5 doesn't have so good low light photo's

 

But it doe's look SO much better in person

Oh I know. I have the same problem with my OnePlus One. That's one of the reasons why I want to get a DSLR at some point.

[Ahokas99]

"QUIET?" What's that?

:D Reference design>Asus Mars II

 

But seriously it's quiet for my ears though (?am I going deaf?)

[Ahokas99]

Actually, 22% faster than reference 

Interesting, what are the clocks on that card of your's?

 

I would love to overclock but with this 350'ish tdp, nope nope nope. Maybe if can get myself a waterblock or 2 for quad sli *space heater intensifies

[Ahokas99]

I believe it's 782MHZ, out of box- so it can be pushed further, but with it's 500W TDP and my poor CX750M...not good...Getting an EVGA 1000p2 soon.

Any moment now BOOM! that cx is enough but I would change it asap

[Ahokas99]

Updated airflow in case!

 

 

Turned upper 140mm front intake fan

 

taking air straight out from the gpu.

 

Flipped cpu coolers fans into intake

 

and changed the back intake to exhaust.

 

Also added back the hard drive bay back.

 

More photos added!!

These are powered by usb,

and I routed them from a gap

behind the case

 

They light up the case well,

better than I expected.

 

I also got a 1m one if I want to light up the desk

from behind

 

 SSD has still not arrived.  

 

 

 

[Ahokas99]

 SSD Arrived, Fresh Install Of W10 Pro,   Finally

 

System feels snappier and faster ofc, love the feeling

 

 

 

 since I have never had an ssd this is a day and night difference 

 

 

[Ahokas99]

Reference GTX-780

 

Sexy af imo

 

Bought used (MB,PSU both used too)

 

[Ahokas99]

Traded my 4690k for a i7-4770k.

 

Switched some fans around

Corsair ones are painted.

 

A small OC of a million(1.1Ghz) hertz from my Afterburner software

Love the build so far! For delidding, you could preorder the Rocket 88, or could print a delidding tool (If you don't have access, check out 3d hubs, there might be someone near you that could do it for a few bucks.

Sorry for a late reply, but thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a tool for delidding since the razor method can be quite hard and nerve wrecking.

 

On a side note, I have been looking at this one deal with i7-3970x and asus p9x79 pro, but it would kinda ruin the theme

[Ahokas99]

SUCCESS!!!

 

My 4770k is now delidded <3

 

Had to ride to a relative who has a proper vice for it,

to my surprise it went easy and fast (just a tad of force and it was off)

 

Really nice 17°C drop on temps.

Bit of changes coming up

 

First of all, my Silverstone AIO's pump died after almost 2 year's of daily usage... r.i.p you were "meh"

I'm going to use this old 212 Evo as a placeholder once I get something better, this time on air.

 

Thinking of those BeQuiet towers with black overall colour, or go plain ugly with NH-D14/15

 

New Case, Sleeved Extension + Ram ordered

 

Define R5 Windowed (normal version, with the white fans etc)

 

HyperX Fury Black 1866Mhz 16Gb

 

Silverstone's sleeved extensions (White) for GPU (8+6) ,24-pin & cpu 8-pin
