Posted September 21, 2013 Oman, I love seeing X58 still being used! I'd still have mine if I didn't develop a fetish for cube cases. Those first gen i7's ran hot. This is a clean build to be proud of. How does the soft touch treatment feel in person? I've been considering a Bit Fenix case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 21, 2013 Hell yeah, X58! I'll always have a weak spot for that platform. Also liking the build in general. No ugly light colour, clean loop and cabling, just how it should be.

I thought I was going to laughed at because I'm not running Haswell, Ivy bridge or even Sandy bridge lol but thanks for the love hard work pays off as they say haha Dude, don't think that, never think that! I'm still rocking LGA 1366 as well in my ongoing build. And TBH I'm seriously considering going 1366 for the one after that if I can get the money together. As long as you don't need the absolutely superest fastest machine possible X58 is still pretty damn epic as far as I'm concerned, at least as long as you can afford the additional electricity cost (gotta give props to Sandy and Ivy on that one). And on another note: X58 had BCLOCK overclocking! It wasn't just about cranking up multipliers and voltages. Yeah, it might need some nerves and patience from time to time, but technically speaking it was a lot more interesting (I'm actually kinda looking forward to overclocking my SR-2, she's a very tricky lady from what I've heard).

Posted September 21, 2013 The lighting looks really good and works great for the second & third images. The tubing looks damn fine with the lights pretty much making it glow a transluscent white. I also quite like the raw power distribution blocks for some fans and LEDs tucked behind the drive cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fellas Still need to rewire the blocks and put heads on the wires (It was just a test run for now) I'm also thinking in the near future I want to take out the 5.25 back completely and get a tube res with pump and put a 360 ran in the front aswell Check out my Rigs: Obi-Wan Shinobi & HTPC: The Dark Prodigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
