Project Blank

Noted!

Thx for the heads up!

[Jokrik]

Updates!

 

I received the motherboard block, and the custom charged me 40$ for it which is suck

 

 

Took me quite a while to take off the ROG led, one of the screw was dull and I've tried tons of ways to unscrew it

 

 

 

I dont think I'm going to use the VRAM block for a couple of reason

1. I like the heat pipe on stock VRAM

2. I dont think the VRAM creates tons of heat when I tested it, the heat was more on the southbridge since its located near the GPU's

3. I'm not ready to modify the stock VRAM heatsink, I can easily cut the pipe but...

 

In the other hand I realised that I have a problem with the AC backplate, its too thick thus it clashed with the ram clip ; the GPU won't go through all the way in to the pci-e slot

 

 

after asking around actually there are also people who's having the same problem and one way to solve it is to cut the backplate

so its Dremel time, took me a while to cut the backplate since it's pretty thick

 

sorry for the crap picture on this one, I think I hit the tripod at slow shutter

 

 

After more polishing, filing and touch up

 

 

Job done!

 

 

 

I've also painted the temp panel to black, the panel is made of thin aluminium

 

 

 

 

and where it's gonna be placed

 

 

the build is nearly there, I've a final order from frozen which will come in a week or two

in the mean time I might work on the tubing

i think our rig will be finish on the same time

still waiting for gpu block seal )

These waterblocks are pure sex!  

[rmonty]

I wish I had the time/ money to create a build this amazing  

[Quantum]

Looking amazing so far!

Thx!

I have a few updates actually but I might wait for a couple of thing to turn up 

I'm very happy on how it turns out to be honest

[Jokrik]

Updates!

 

So its been yet another busy days at work

I received these today

 

 

 

 

Bought the fan controller since my plan to split the fans using fan hub at 7v is a failure due to voltage reason not being stable/cut down during start up

I love how the sentry mix look since the first sentry, I used the first version on my previous build

 

this is how it looks on the case

 

 

The new psu is also an upgrade, I've been re-calculating the wattage use of this build

and its on the edge of "recommended PSU" of 856w

While I have a lot of stuff which requires power from the usb port, decided to get the 1000w

 

On another note, after watching the monsoon bending kit video on youtube over and over again

I set up a bending station, pardon me if its such a mess

again as I said before, my house under heavy renovation so a lot of stuff are laying around

 

 

Result:

 

 

 

 

Will be doing more bending in the next couple of days

expect more update soon!

 

[alpenwasser]

Yes, yes, pipework!

@Jokrik hows the Sentry Mix 2? I have a Mix 1 in my HTPC and server and a few Mesh's.

[Brehohn]

This is totally awesome! It's a shame that the new Haswell-E is coming out and this socket won't be supported Can't wait to see the final reveal!

I haven't give it a try yet

I'm still waiting for the custom fan port hub and the cables from the sentry is still under sleeving

 

but I love the knob better, its more solid and controllable unlike the mix 1

 

This is totally awesome! It's a shame that the new Haswell-E is coming out and this socket won't be supported Can't wait to see the final reveal!

 

thx stay tuned

[Jokrik]

Updates!

 

This would be a very quick and small update, the build will be finished soon

All I need is to wait for my final package from Frozencpu (which already in the custom) containing low 90 adapter and some bolts for my fan radiators

The package will be here on Monday

 

Meanwhile I've finished the res of the tube bending except for the one from GPU to South Bridge (which require the low 90 adapter)

Pardon me for the crappy picture, its really hard to take good photos at midnight, after 2 hours of straight tube bending and with warm lighting

 

 

 

 

I've forgotten to take pics of the tube running from top rad to CPU block, guess it will have to wait until the loop is all done

The hard tubing is pretty tricky to be photographed, wrong angle and the tube would look off while it is actually straight

 

On another note , I have a lot of dust sitting in the case due to long waiting period

So I decided to take it all off today, and do final cleaning including washing the tubes and polishing it with car polish wax

and make all the nickel shinier

 

 

These are all the tubes and fittings I'm using (total of 20 compression fittings)

 

 

I still can't resist how good the GPU block is , :rolleyes:

 

 

And the CLU is ON!

 

 

 

Thx for holding on til now, big thanks to whoever currently reading this

next update would be the final tube, cables and leak testing (I hope

 

[I_WILL_STAB_YOU]

Yusssss it's an update! I'm addicted to your build

[Jokrik]

Yusssss it's an update! I'm addicted to your build

 

Just make sure you dont stab me

anyway thx! glad you like it

[I_WILL_STAB_YOU]

Just make sure you dont stab me

anyway thx! glad you like it

I can't knowing what build logs i might miss out on in the future

[days]

 

 

 

 

This is just a few of my custom keyboard collection

 

 

 I didn't know you could post porn here

[Jokrik]

Another day, another updates!

All I can say is that it's nearly there

Without further ado 

 

So I have the last order from the US came in, contain some of the last adapters and plugs I need

Also bought a couple of fans just in case ...

 

 

I have taken all the tubes off and clean them to remove the tube bits from sawing

and also polished it to remove some scratches during the bending with car wax

The compression fitting can easily scratch the tubes

 

 

And I've finished bending the tube from South Bridge to GPU

 

 

Another view

 

 

 

And the fan hub has also arrived , I can now control all the fans

there will be more sleeved cables coming tomorrow especially for the LED (I will be using NZXT LED I have laying around) and for the fan controller cables

 

 

Lastly, I've played around with the cables management

It's not perfect and I'll mess around with it more later

 

 

Next stop would be the long awaited leak test, it's pretty nerve wrecking since I've no experience with hard tubing

We'll see how it goes

finger crossed

[KR_king]

LOVE that tubing!
Excellent job!

[Mansel]

not to be rude but that is sexual.

lol thx man! 

dont worry , I even want to take her to bed once she's up and ready

[atomicmonkey101]

Yeah about that whole build thing. how do I custom PC?

[Jokrik]

the build is on hold

Everything went so well yesterday, the bubbles are all gone and loving how silent the res and pump

Even took some pretty picture already

But the motherboad died for no clear reason

Debug code 00 no matter what I do

Gonna RMA it tomorrow hopefully theyve stock to replace mine

How would you like to customized your pc ?
