Scratch Build – In Progress ThermalTake P5 MOD/HYDRA by Wrathier/Aquatuning

I find the window a bit busy. It obstructs the view of the system. It's a nice build, and will be even nicer with GPUs underwater, and those lines on the glass kinda mess up the view. Just my $0.02CDN.

 

RAM change.

Klevv Crass PC-24000 installed.

 

Thanks for your input.

I've sort of being thinking myself that it might was a bit overkill somehow. I'm looking into a solution on that issue.

 

All parts for the water cooling system is here.

All the http://www.aquatuning.de/ parts are here.

I'm going to rebuild in the weeend.

 

Time to get the pictures up

Ok so here we see a shot of what needs to be extremely silent in order for a larger water cooling system to make any sense at all:



And here we see a shot of the Kaze Q 3.5" fan controller and it's "controllers" It's tiny:



And here is the shot how it looks in the PC. - Looks pretty messy, but I know every cable by heart. I might clear them up a bit, but it works so...):



Well that's it until the KLEVV CRAS 3000MHz ram modules arrives I think.

 

A small build video.

The build has and will be changed again.

RAM arrived.

Here are the modules:



And a close up:

 

RAM installed.

As you probably will notice the ram modules are instilled.

This gives me tons of space to make the next loop.

Here is the current look of the machine:

 

Sorted

Finally the right speed got in. PC4-24000 KLEVV Crass incoming.

In general I've been very satisfied with the build so far. Seems to be going in the right direction.

 

those memory sticks are absolutely amazing mate. And the side pannel looks killer

 

Thanks a lot. Awesome you like it.

Hi Team,

A few pictures of the computer room:





Hope you like it. Feedback are as usual welcome.

 

Cheers and thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for following the build and all the nice feedback so far.

 

Benchmark day.

Last benchmarks I'll do for now untill the new parts are integrated into the machine.

I managed to beat my old score with 2 980Ti's though the old one had 3 980Ti's and I also without any effort destroyed my old CB score etc and all within resonable temperatures. (This is my 3 card config score: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/7356795).

I still have to account for, that the current setup is set to minimum fan speed for noise levels and I want it to continue to be that way. That basically mean that I might need to make a loop more for the GFX or I might need to add another radiator. Especially the Intel Burn In test managed to "overheat" my CPU and though that test isn't recommended to run on X99 setups I still like to do it.

Again I want to sent a thank you to http://www.aquatuning.de for giving me the opportunity to test and have fun with the stuff I like to do. Thank you. You are the best.

A lot of people have asked me going from a SSD 840 PRO 1TB RAID 0 to a Intel SSD 750 Series 1.2TB NVMe PCI Express SSD makes any difference in a build like this? Well to be honest: It does.

The speed texture is delivered makes micro stutter or any kind of lag impossible.

However, that doesn't mean I would recommend anyone to go out and buy hard drives like that. The difference is there, but it's seconds so if you already are running on Samsung 850's etc I wouldn't really care about it. Then again if you get a good offer... you might want to take it.

Here are today's results from my Extremeworks build and of course as the build is progressing I'll do my best to beat them:











So that is basically the machines current results.

As always: Thank you for your support, comments and links to your machines.

 

Finally time to get started.

I now have the parts needed to make this build a killer.

I'm looking into a new side panel solution, but it's fun to try new things and see how it works out.

 

Hey man, nice build!

The hardware color match looks really nice, but in my opinion the window is a bit too cluttered now.
Looked better earlier, but hey, everyone has a different view

Keep going.

 

Thank you for the feedback. I'm totally agreeing.

 

New window & build going forward.

I decided that the window was to cluttered to save so I arranged for a new window today.

Please disregard the old window.

Tonight I'll drain the machine completely get some dust of here and there and get the GFX ready to be styled up with some water cooling plates. I'm really much looking forward to showing how that looks.
