How's the turbo clocks on the CPU? I heard that i7s with the Iris Pro turbo clock like a beast.

I'll tell you hopefully tomorrow, when I start bending the tubing and finish the build  Although, probably won't test for long. I never ever use turbo boost, I just set a good overclock and then turn on EIST so it's not hot all the time (for when im simply listening to music etc.) Broadwell isn't the best overclocker, but I am confident in at LEAST 4.5 Ghz. Haven't see any overclocking results on a well cooled rig like mine, so I might be able to push it farther.

And primochill doesn't know how to measure either... Alphacool insert gets here Friday

hmmm this build seems more and more interesting

[Octavialicious]

We're doing good! Plan for a finished rig and pics by tomorrow!! Almost all of the bending is done, the only bends left are to the reservoir in the back of the case and those are with soft tubing (I also put in a drain loop for once )

 

On a side note, this has been harmful to my body haha. I literally took a chunk out of my finger (there's actually an indentation) and I someone touched the hot metal of the heat gun onto my shoulder and burned it... At least I'm alive!

I promise you that you can not handle a 4.8 GHz 4790K if the fans on your CPU cooler were at 400 RPM. My D15 would overheat a 4590S with a D15 at around those same fan speeds, and it has a TDP of 65W. The i7 @4.8Ghz is easily triple that if not more

 

To get the desire level of silence I wanted, air cooling would simply not work on the dual CPU build. I would do water cooling like I have now, but those motherboards had weird mounting so finding cpu blocks were difficult. Not to mention 2x 130W TDP chips isn't that fun either

I could have sent u some low wattage chips.  My SR-2 needs X5680s lol.

haha, I actually was SO close to buying an SR-2. I literally checked out and had all my info in and was about to click "confirm purchase" but I held off. I would need a new PSU, new case, more rads, and blah blah so it wouldve been a lottt of work

Sorry for my horrendous photography!!!

Very pleased with the results!! The fittings look very nice and the overall theme is very nice. Although it's hard to tell, cable management is superb and I'm very happy with my bends. Although, I will probably not do hard tubing again in the future. It was a royal pain...

 

Anyways, 5775C does NOT like overclocking. I got like 4.1 GHz haha. I could maybe push for more but I won't poke the bear for now (I got major bootloops earlier)

rip I guess no one likes the build lol

 

sorry to disappoint, I tried pretty hard :C

Its actually really hard to see the build, the photos are little glared/blurry. From what I can see it looks pretty decent

yeah, idk why but my camera absolutely flipped out with the LED's... Then with the side panel on it's also hard to see haha

I gave up with side panels, need lighting in the correct place and zero flash

[Julian5]

its a lovely build but the bends dont look very good on camera, the inside is also very dark and looks dirt. Send us better pics

nice tube bends. How are the temps?

Acceptable, I think the CPU block has a "meh" mount but the temps are workable so I'm not going to change anything.

Looks good I have a air cooled I7 5775c build, so I get the overclocking issue.

If u don't need the extra threads, here is an INSANE 4670K:http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=144871&page=2

It's really nothing special, 32m is really easy to run low volt high speeds

It took him like 11 months to sell it for a reason

They used to sell 4.9Ghz ones, but with Skylake they have stopped those. If you hunt around on HWBot you can find decent chips that will do 5Ghz daily.

I think they sell the 4.9 still, he can get 5's if you ask but it's almost $1,000 if I remember.
