Did you turn it on? Chances are, if you didn't, it's still functional. Just let it dry after having washed it with isopropyl alcohol.

Have you read it? also would you mind removing the images of from the quote, make it easier scrolling through the page ;) (thanks)

that's a really shitty situation. hope you get it sorted soon because i'd like to see this thing up and running with all the FDD and IDE cables :)

GPU drivers giving you a hard time? Try this! (DDU)

Aww no! :( Ive had coolant spill on my computer several times. if it wasn't on, just soak it up and let it air dry and you should be fine!

BUT, this is so impressive! I've always wanted to put both XBOX & PS4 as well as a PC in the one case. Subbed!

I've spent the last couple hours getting through all 6 pages to come to this, man that really sucks that your mobo is dead.

What about going to Z170?

well, I have thought of that the problem though is the memory, there's no low enough profile ddr4 out yet for the mainstream. 

 

IT LIVES!!!!!

 

Update time :D:D:D 

The mobo is dead :( so I was left with a choice invest about 700-800 into a new platform or try to find a new mobo. well easy picking right?? WRONG!!!

I thought hey that's easy just order a new mobo however since it is discontinued it is not available in my country. bummer right, so I did a decent google search and found a few in stock in France, great, one problem though THEY DON"T SHIP OUTSIDE FRANCE :(, so I continued and tried to find a package forwarding service to help me out a little bit. And luckily I did. actually a wonderful one they only charge shipping + €5,- and accept paypal, can't get it much cheaper. So I ordered the mobo and sent it to the forwarding service who would then ship it to me. luckily all shipping took about 5 days so decently fast, if I may say so myself.

 

and now I present to you, the thing we've already seen:

IMG_20160327_212207_zpsbc6b1hol.jpg

IMG_20160327_212223_zpsp3bjcyxd.jpg

IMG_20160327_212237_zps8d5tod7v.jpg

 

 

as you can see the protective plastic is even on there,

now before i did anything, yes I did make sure it works before taking it apart.

 

and now it is time to install the waterblock/loop back on the mobo

 

5b7aec99-7e11-476d-8db5-95c042176e74_zps

 

I know what you want to say, that loop leaked right? that is correct yes, however I had tightened the fittings and let it leak test for about 3,5, after that time everything was still dry so no problems there.

 

now let's prepare the mobo:

IMG_20160327_213448_zpscgkezglk.jpg

IMG_20160327_213700_zpsener5klr.jpg

IMG_20160327_213850_zpsykbvtwwo.jpg

 

 

and here is the tricky part, mounting the block upside down.

IMG_20160327_214737_zpscep7y1im.jpg

IMG_20160327_220650_zpsgaf7a9uz.jpg

 

but I  managed to get it done. now let's test to see if everything still works:

IMG_20160327_221109_zps42npealh.jpg

IMG_20160327_221139_zpsanupu2ec.jpg

 

looks like I need to update the bios this version doesn't support nvme yet. other than that everything is fine.

 

so lets put everything together and start testing

IMG_20160328_141014_zpsjvqkek5a.jpg

IMG_20160328_141118_zpschcbagyn.jpg

 

 

and done, but wait there's more, the greatest feeling when you get a new product?? remove the protective plastic :):) 

IMG_20160328_141429_zpspkrukbd4.jpg

IMG_20160328_141450_zpso64u0nw0.jpg

 

 

and here it is in all it's glory:

IMG_20160328_141600_zpsjdwmneit.jpg

IMG_20160328_141642_zps88f7j5js.jpg

 

 

well time for testing now and see what temperatures I'll get.

also since I am almost done with this project do you guys have any recommendations of other forums to put this up so more people can enjoy it?? don't say ROG forum though it is already there ;) 

 

Anyways I hope you've enjoyed and let's await those test results.

The suspense when you announced the dead mobo! Smexy build. 

 

Next step should be to make a custom housing for the PSU. Or at least some decals to cover up the logos and stuff and make it look sleek.

Yeah, I assumed the PSU would be inside...

 

If not, that kinda sucks a bit. I really was hoping for a smaller build PC than my current Node 202 case, but if the PSU is external that's kinda cheating! :)

well.... I did take the biggest console, and made it bigger.

 

The numbers Mason, what do they mean!?!

Did you say it in the same voice?

 

Well finally benchmark time and I mean FINALLY, after all the problems.

 

cpu_zpsi4no0obe.jpg

gpu_zps18icqkxo.jpg

 

 

I'm sorry but no graphs for this one. so a little sums up,

cpu:

3,9 GHz

59oC max under full load

 

gpu:

1000MHz Core clock

500MHz memory clock

63oC under load

52fps in this scene

 

Q. But wait why no score points and avg fps?

A. I'll get to that later.

 

Q. But wait those are stock speeds aren't they?

A. Now we're talking :D 

 

cpu%20ocd_zpslsnlvuzy.jpg

gpu%20ocd_zps6isu7ohr.jpg

 

 

cpu:

4,5 GHz

92oC max under full load

 

gpu:

1075MHz Core clock

500MHz memory clock

63oC under load

57fps in this scene

 

now don't ask me why but the gpu temp. didn't go up even a single degree, the fps did however almost a 10% increase.

 

now let's get on to the scores, avg fps' and in game performance.

 

 

and done, so here is the deal, the waterblock for the motherboard is really finicky, if you don't have the screws in there with exactly the right tension the board won't post. so every time while testing the system it gets hot off course but with that the tension on the waterblock mount changes and the pc crashes. Then after it cools down I HAVE to take the entire system apart and slightly adjust the blocks tension, so that it boots again.

 

So in the end I'm still left with a pile of just parts, which is really annoying.

This doesn't mean I'll stop trying, but it does mean that for now it is the end.

 

The entire project was a blast, how it all came together with in the end having the working system in front of me (even if it's just for half a day), touching that on/of sensor and hearing the satisfying click, followed with booting into windows. AMAZING is all I can say.

 

Now I would like to thank you all on joining in on the forum and I really hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did.

as a final touch I want to post the photobucket album link if you are interested in seeing all the 352 uploads I did for this build (including a hand full non posted ones)

http://s673.photobucket.com/user/mattygroenhopper/library/XBox%20one%20build%20log?sort=9&page=1

 

again thank you all for joining and maybe if I figure something out we'll meet again.

What a cool concept. It looks really good, too. 

I used to be quite active here.

you crammed a lot of stuff into a really tight space with excellent thermals. shame that something as benign as tension on the block is screwing with proper functionality. But it was fun and interesting to follow as you went along.

 

If you manage to sort it out ill be waiting :)
