none of the photos work...

 

edit: the ones on the first page didnt

 

One of my Photobucket accounts is wiped out until next month. The most recent ones should work as they are on a separate account :)

 

Sorry about that. I may even look into subbing with them as cheaply as I can. That or buy a cheap G5 mac and host my own server (I'm on fibre optic).

OK so I have some renders now of the fan mount that will be the ferris wheel.

wheel4.jpg

 

Note - the fan mount will be bent 45' so it is aimed directly at the GPU. It should resemble something like this though.

I'm not sure how you tilt things in Sketchup yet but took it into Photoshop to show how it will look when it's complete.

So as you can see it feeds the air from the bottom intake right into the path of the GPU :)

 

Thanks to Scooby for his 140mm fan !

The mod train moves on. Today my Dinoc arrived (the small order) so it was enough to set me on my way. First up I needed a zombie decal for the 5.25 bay cover. So I stroked the image in Photoshop, printed it out and stuck it to the back side of some black Dinoc.

Insert lots of scissor action and a very steady hand, and we have -

Time to cover the panel - NB - I've covered it in scrap peach coloured dinoc as the plexi is black. This way the red is red as it should be and not maroon.

1 - 2 - skip a few.

And,

Again apols for the cruddy photos, the light is playing peek a boo here in Blighty today !

And then *knock knock* the postie arrived with a mysterious package from China....

 

packet.jpg

 

What's inside? these.

I have to probe them to figure them out but I'm quite confident I can get them running.

 

I also ordered one of these.

A tonne of plexi and some of this.

It's not over.. It's never really truly over...

Nothing beats the smell of new electronics ! I spent some time earlier buzzing them with a 3v line but the psu keeps cutting out :( I think it might need a load on it. This is my work bench psu btw....

 

I'm sure I'll have another go soon. I want them to display my clock speeds.

Mixed news.

 

The fan came and is way too big to fit as a ferris wheel :( I decided to straight fit it to the front intake..

It looks good IMO

And a video..

So today the postman really came through, though the anti kink coil is fucking pink FFS :(

And the psu box is well on its way :)

I've changed the plans now, there will be no 120mm fan in it. Instead it's going to be closed off and the GPU cooling will happen elsewhere.

 

Right now I have glue setting, so not much else to report. Once the main stays are set I need to glue supports in place to stop them folding off..

Looking good!

 

Where do the number displays go?

 

And sorry if i missed it, but what/where/how did you do the mobo fans?

How much did that fan above the VRM's help ?

Nothing to see here - move along.

It's critical if you want 5ghz or beyond. At 1.47v or higher they get red hot.

Hurrah !

 

 

 

 

 

This was disappointing. It seems in order to save money AMD have stopped issuing the lovely tin boxes for their 8 core CPUs and have reduced it to cardboard :(

 

Thankfully I still have my tin box from the first 8320 I had.

 

 

 

Time for a bit of ROG action....

 

 

 

It's been years since I owned a high end motherboard. My last truly high end board was an EVGA 680i. Opening up the front cover teases you with a shot of the board itself, safely nestled under a plastic cover.

 

 

 

Goodies time ! now I'll admit I've never used the SATA cables that come boxed with a board before. However this time around I think I will. Asus have done a great job of making the bundle feel as special as it should IMO.

 

 

 

Time for a look at the board. I'll admit, I sat and stared at it for about five minutes, slowly moving my eyes around it. There's just so much to take in. Sadly it seems that due to the layout I will have to hack run SLI to run X16 X4 due to my Revodrive, but that's OK because I've already done a dry run on SLI like that and you lose next to nothing.

 

 

 

And then it was time to put it all away and wait on more parts and cables. I'm not in a rush to do this so it will take a while :)

i have that board! when i get my new case, psu and h100i (28th) i will do a build log migrating all my stuff will be quite similar to my build! however i'm going xfire r9 290's this year and since this mobo you can put a gap inbetween the gpu's should be sweet! you should definitely keep an eye out. hehe nice build though man! love the lights around that board. mmm

Necro bump ! So recently I bought myself a new CPU and board. The CPU is an 8 core Ivybridge 16 thread Xeon prototype. It's locked to 2ghz, but tbh? it puts up a good show of itself.

 

One CPU.

 

DSC09570.jpg

 

One board..

 

DSC09580.jpg

 

Fitted.

 

DSC09587.jpg

 

And...

 

cpuidXeon.jpg

 

I nickname this CPU cucumber.

 

CORETEMPS.jpg

 

It's as cool as the proverbial...

 

And my custom made back plates. All carbon... Also note I've removed the silly first aid stickers from the fans.

 

DSC09589.jpg

 

I really do love this rig. It's had sweat blood and tears...

Nice! :D

Off-topic: Because I was absent for so long I only saw your post in

HELIOS a while after it was posted, and I didn't want to respond and

make everybody think there had been an update. Anyway, it's on hold

until I've sorted out my health issues. That's also why I'm not around

much at the moment and won't be in the foreseeable future. Just thought

I'd use the opportunity to answer your question about that. ;)
