Cheers man! I am very happy with the build so far! One of my favorite colours is green and I don't see many builds this colour.

Urm, Im not sure on the RPM. They are all undervolted to 7V though.

If they are the quiet edition your temps are great, its a very good looking mod.

They are the quiet edition of the fans. There was no point in buying the high performance just to under volt them...

Why thank you dear sir

Just got some anti vibration rubber dampners and they are working a treat! Noticed that a couple of the fans were rattling a little.

Also, the mod/smart cable clips turned up from America. They make the build slightly

This is like exactly what I am going for with my build, I hope it will be at least half as sexy as this is! :D Quick question, what did you use to paint the fan rings?

I went bought some grey primmer off of ebay and then went down Halfords which is like a car parts and accessories shop and bought myself the green spray paint. I was checking to make sure it was a similar colour to the cable braid.

Here is the new EVGA SLI bridge installed into the build! I only have one thing left to add to the build and that is the PSU sticker! The sticker paper is arriving tomorrow so I will get that printed and added ASAP!

Yeah! It's awesome build but i would prefer white LED but green is okay too. But i wanted to ask what stickers you mean and where did you get those and is there different colors too, like red?

I made customs stickers for my PSU, I used matte self adhesive paper. You can get the file online from another forum. I posted the link on the last page or something...

Very cheap stuff!

I cut the stickers out with a Sharp blade and a ruler. I then coloured the edges in with a black marker.

I own both the RM and AX power supplies. They are both great. not much in it really between them. I would always go for a modular power supply out of preference...

Well after a long amount of time and fine tuning I have finished my overclocking of the system! I haven't really had a huge amount of time because of loads of projects but here is my overclock for my CPU and GPU's. I have submitted my CPU overclock to the LTT overclock thread too! Very happy with 4.6ghz on 1.19V!

Then I ran the Valley benchmark to see what sort of score I would get and I am very happy with these results! Very very happy!

 

Averaging FPS: 101.2

Average Score: 4234.3

Average Min FPS: 38.5

Average Max FPS: 180.

Hopefully I can submit this to the build guides of the week thread and get it in there!

UPDATE TIME!

 

After a lot of thought! I am changing the case which the parts live in! I have ordered a CaseLabs Mercury S8 and going to be adding a triple 120mm Alphacool NexXxos Monsta into it!

 

Stay tuned for more updates as stuff turns up and I start taking building in the new case!
