Case Mod - Complete Temporal Snow - Complete - 15/07/17

Had a good day today, the block arrived and I received some advice from SNEF on how to improve my pictures! As well as the block I also did some more painting, I started with the PCI brackets which were previously black:




spent an absolute load of time painting the fittings, they aren't ready yet and I have a late day at work tomorrow, so will probably be Wednesday or friday before I can get this complete. I started by painting the "Aorus" logo which comes with the mono block as black, obviously this was no good. I've also thrown in an almost finished rotary coupling:





I then figured I should paint the GPU block link connector:



Cables in



Getting there!

 

Over the last couple of days I did a LOT of painting, namely the rotary fittings. This gave me some to think about the mono block + vinyl situation. I initially decided to not do it as it would be difficult to see the "Aorus" logo on a white background. I figured I could over come this simply putting a piece of blue card behind the logo:







and some now white fittings!

 

Right everything is painted and I have spent the last 24 hours or so leak checking and bleeding. It aint finished yet, there's a stubborn bubble in the Monoblock, but elsewhere is all good.



So time for the glamour shots I guess!















































Thanks for viewing all - I guess I will have more ideas for this in the future!

 

Finally managed to get all the air out this damn monoblock haha, it actually took around 2 weeks. With that in mind I decided to overclock the GPU as well as the CPU

R7 = 3.95ghz
GPU 2120/11000mhz

this netted me some quite nice scores in my benchmarks, i'll update the thread later for final comparisons
