Received the CPU and motherboard today Just ordered my GPU for delivery tomorrow so i'll get some photos of it up once i get it installed
Did some overclocking on the 7950. Temps are around 75c when stressed and the stock cooler makes it sound like a leaf blower. Need to get it underwater soon...
Not really anything that interesting today as all I did was put my hardware into the case Look what TNT brought me! A few extras that were included with the case Mystery bag This is where a photo of the case would go, if I had remembered to take one... Nice and simple HDD mounting. Simply slots into place Motherboard in GPU installed This is one of the only issues I had with the case but it's still an extremely annoying one. Since the plastic above the PCI slots is directly in line with the hold-down screws, you have to remove the entire back panel and pull back the metal mounting plate to get the screws in... A PITA, to say the least. Cable monster Tidied up and hidden Windowed side panel back on with everything installed Installed the rubber case feet Watercooling goodness coming soon!
Got a fantastic deal on this drive, also fits the theme really well so i'll have to find somewhere to put it on display!
