    Thanks for watching and commenting guys! Made more headway yesterday. Andrew finished the CPU loop and filled it. We had one leak from a connection not fully tightened, FYI: Surgical Gloves are great for griping and tightening "knurled" compression fittings and you won't shred your finger tips.

    Hes currently pondering Evga's GTX 780 Classified Hydro Copper cards when released, unless EK will make blocks for the Classified, which we're doubting.. In meantime, hes running my old ATI Radeon 4890 from my old Wolfenstein build, which oddly fits the color theme of this build.

    You are meant to say ' She is alive' or 'She lives' not 'she posted', its makes it sound dull and believe me this project is not boring a bit slow but definitely not boring :D:D:thumb:

    I'll be saying that when we've got every last piece installed, tested, and it's in Brian's studio for the photo shoot :clap:

    Lovely job, that paint job is stunning, I also think the tube reservoirs mounted up on top at an angle look fantastic.

    Brilliant build.

    Thank you for the posts everyone! :D:thumb:

    Andrew ordered 3x 780 EVGA Classifieds yesterday, we're back on track :clap:

    We're installing Bitfenix Alchemy & Phoyba RGB LED Strips, we started installation yesterday while recording video, I grabbed a couple stills while focusing primarily on tidying wires and cables behind the motherboard...

    We were just test fitting to get a feel for what we'd have to do to the custom floor for cabling and such. The plastic came off shortly after and I ran a few brief tests before I had to leave the shop.

    The first 780 Classy boosted to 1176mhz out of the box, which is a really good sign.

    I combined the two DDC3.2 pumps for the CPU loop and gained another 50% flow, which is helping to keep temps on the CPU and R4E insanely low now. I have no doubts about a 5ghz+ OC on this chip after more testing. So far the mobo hasn't surpassed 34*C, and the CPU is staying under 60*C with 1.35v currently. We are now finishing up minor details and cable management, and waiting for EVGA to drop the Hydro Copper's for these.

    I picked up an MCP35x2 for the GPU loop, as well as some backplates from EVGA which will likely be painted. I don't really like to keep things stock :D

    Thanks for following, and there will be more soon
