logo2_zps89399102.jpg
 
Hi and Welcome to my First Build Log!
 
Working Title for this project is x7900D because it is an x79 system in a Corsair 900d!
 
i was fortunate to get the 900d form one of the first shipments from Amazon, This case is huge! i've never seen any case this big before in person!
 
I got lucky with a lot of these parts, finding them on craiglist or ebay for cheap.
 
The Specs:
Motherboard: Asus RIVE
Processor: I7 3930k
SSD- OCZ Vertex 4 256 x 2 in Raid 0
PSU- Corsair ax1200
Case- Corsair 900D
Ram- Kingston Hyper x 1600mhz x 32GB
GPUs- Evga Titans
 
The Cooling:
Coolgate 480 Rad
Coolgate 360 Rad
EK Supremecy
EK Titan Blocks
Ek 250 res
Ek Res/Pump combo
Switfech MCP655
1/2" fittings
a ton of Corsair AF and SP fans
 
 
now for some pictures. This is my first time trying to take nice photos so please dont hate on me too hard. i used my bed sheet that is wrinkled and my iphone biggrin.gif
 
This case is massive!

Now, i've always wanted a Asus Rampage board but i hate the red and black color scheme, i was so happy to see the Black RIVE only to find out it wasnt a production product, so i painted mine! i didnt get too deep into the RAM slots because they wouldnt be visible

SSDs, these already had the OS on them so i had to make sure i kept them in the right order
IMG_2440_zps3ee194dc.jpg
 
Pump- this thing was way bigger than i though (thats what she said biggrin.gif)

Why did you get a titan?

 

this build was made back in June, and imo titan is still a great card, you have to unlock it to make it shine, but once unlocked its a beast

Looks promising, will sub :) I love them Coolgate Rads too, used them in a build not long ago and were surprised at the quality and performance.

 

How much clearance do you get with a 60mm rad up top and down the bottom too?

 

Thanks man, its all done, and you may have seen it on other forums but i will post it on here too! gotta spread the updates out!

 

the top with push pull is fine in the 900d. the bottom with push pull, pump, bottom of a reservoir, and the ax1200 is tight, if would do it again i would only put 3 fans on the back of the 480 instead of 4

My color scheme is going to be black with a little white =]

so i masked them up, and started priming

DSCF0398_zpscb01dc93.jpg


Once dry i sprayed it with flat white

DSCF0401_zpse5af7c87.jpg

I think it turned out pretty good =] using flat paint saves me all the time of sanding and respraying

DSCF0406_zpsadff3d0c.jpg


For the black dimms, i used my favorite paint ever, plasti dip! this stuff is awesome. in case you don't know what it is , its plastic rubbery paint that peels off when your done with it. so i masked the dimms up sprayed them with a couple coats of plastidip and peeled off what i wanted to show through.

DSCF0426_zps065f25a2.jpg

the cables are too short, ill have to fix these later

DSCF0427_zpsd0e7b443.jpg

I also installed the Corsair AX1200

DSCF0428_zps5f171a11.jpg

looks so far away!

DSCF0429_zpsecb06a07.jpg


Next i mounted the EK bay res and pump combo.

DSCF0430_zpsa9d8ead0.jpg

But it didnt fit ;(

DSCF0431_zps5e2e62a4.jpg

so for the first time this project, i busted out the dremel and my new Tungsten bit

DSCF0433_zps855bab75.jpg

i had to route like a 1/4' more to fit it

DSCF0432_zps0020dbfa.jpg

Thats better

DSCF0434_zps7935a211.jpg

DSCF0435_zpse148ad60.jpg

Next i made the plexiglass back plate for the SSD's

DSCF0438_zps24bf9035.jpg

Mounted the OCZ Vertex 4 SSD's and decided to Carbon wrap it, in white

DSCF0440_zpsc527c373.jpg

Until next time, heres something to tide you over =D
