Scratch Build – In Progress Project | NOVO mini | Update 2015-12-16 | 100% FINISHED

The rig came out excellent. Lovely work all around.

@Nut- I still post the same amount I always did, and the content of my posts are as bad as they ever were. The amount of logs to sift through has skyrocketed.

 

Yeah, I think so. I also been inactive for couple of months. Now I'm back though, with even more work the before. But now currenlty with a simple casemod.

To be honest the PSU and gpu is the worst with this build. I don't really like the color of the sleeve. The sleeve is great but the colorscheme could be better choosed. I did'nt think that one through enough.

So, I will change that in the future. I will get a new PSU, a more power efficient one. Maybe some SFX-L psu's or something.

The be quiet SFX power 2 400w works great, not that. But I get so limited with the overclockning. Not sure that it is 100% stable. Hard to tell.

So.. the sleeving in the future will be different, and i will consider shorten those pci-e cable's, thanks for the advice!

Thank you!

 

This project is now GETTING WATERCOOLED!

Hello!.. Just want to inform all you who follow this build that It will be watercooled.

I have recieved some parts now that I will take some photos of.

So I'll continue update this buildlog instead of making a new one.

Have a great afternoon. / ygd3n

 

Coool! Still following.

 

Sounds cool, but... Where would it go?

 

First package!

Hello again!

Some parts arrived. Next package I'll recieve contains fittings. "Barrow-fittings" Anyone here used them ? I have seen them before, so why not try them out aswell.

Well.. Nothing really special about this update, just wanted to show what I got and what I planing to get.



EKWB PE 120
EKWB PE 240
Primochill 16/10 clear
Primochill CTR phase II D5 enabled (plexi) 80mm res
Primochill CTR compression ring
EKWB D5 PWM pump



Looks real nice when I assembled it. 160mm in height ( coca-cola 25ml for reference )





I also got a new LED-list.. The RGB list didn't have the right "whiteness" to it. So I had to switch that one out.

So, what I to get next is an EK plexi clear block and a block for my GPU. Not sure if plexi or acetal. But.. That's the last piece I will buy. And mayhems pastel black!

Maybe a new PSU aswell. As I can't run my PC overclocked with this PSU unfortunately.. So I had my eyes on the silverstone SFX-L psu for a while.

 

Happy to see you still following me

 

What is the material your putting on the metal to write on to do your cuts? Sorry to bring back an old thread just love the work you do. Also wondering where you found the lian li psu adapter ?

Thanks

 

Hello again!

Yes. I'm not dead. Not the project either.

I have been working my butt off trying to finish my build beforce Dreamhack winter 2015. Were It will be held a live modding competition. Not sure If I qualified yet but. I't sure would be awesome to compete in a live competition!

Here's a "preview"

 

sfx - L 500
good choice

nice progress as well, looks like you managed to cram it all in there!

 

VERY neat little system! Any excessive vibrations in there?

 

Novo mini IS NOW FINISHED!!

It sure took a while.. But.. Now I am completely finished.

This build hasn't only been a ordinary build for me. This build has made a huge difference in my life. Also made me gain experiance. Experience about the modding community.

I did compete in Dreamhacks modding competition, did not finish at the podium. But that wasnt my intention either. Now I gathered something more important. Friends in the modding community. I have shown myself. Who I am and what I love to do.

I will for sure continue modding. I have been going back and forth with the thought If I should quit modding or not.

But the community has shown me the opposite. I love what I do. So why quit


Here's a picture of me, at Dreamhack.. Displaying my build for the competition



Here's some pics of the "new" Novo mini.























Bonuspicture with the lights on. To bad I didn't have my friend August to assist me there with his camera​

See you guys in the future. Maybe something new pops up.

Best. / Alex
