Had the junior hacksaw out again today - this time to the motherboard !! The Zalman HSF has its own backing plate which kind of interfered with gigabytes original plans for the DQ6 !! So, out with the saw and a little sanding later ! Looks like it was made for the job and the Northbridge backing plates still there doing its job !! The brackets are pretty close to the capacitors but it fits !! A wee bit of sleeving and todays little update is done ! More soon folks !
lol no need for this man!!! you ****ed the mobo dammm man I know how to fix zalman on that .. why you didn't ask me dammm I feel sorry for it man it's easy take off that small things from the rear zalman plate and fix it with the screws and the job will be done I did that with my zalman 2 water cooling and it works the block was installed with same things that you have but without damge the mobo the water cooling was sux damm man sorry to see that mobo like this but I have it and it's kickass mobo good luck and don't do that again please I feel bad
I'ts cool aswome yeah but man the real one was rock gigabyte they the best and you screwd the mobo I feel sorry on her ( the mobo ) lol but other wish you will done that was col idea you did good work but I don't think it was nesesrcy any ways well done and good luck.. take care
Cheers Computerking ! She's still working fine, just a little more naked hehe ! Sits so much better like this without the Zalman plate hanging over the edges !! There might be more sawing soon !!!
" Don't worry my baby he will take care of you " dude come on be nice to her any way like I said goood work and good luck in the next work.. show me more.. please be nice to her well done buddy and good luck I love your work too much show me more please
Cheers duder ! Still waiting on a few arivals parts wise and i'm changing my mind with things as i go along of course so there should be updates soon !!
Aaahhh! Smiley Fest! Nice Wavemaster indeed! Why didn't you get the Scythe Fan Bay thing powdercoated aswell? And why a DSQ-680? You need a mobo with a black PCB!
Mankz, great minds think alike ! I screwed in the DQ6 and it just does'nt look right in blue ! I've decided to go with my Asus P5WDH that i have in the machine i'm using now and swap the boards out ! The DQ6 is the only thing that is'nt black or red so i agree it has to be swapped !! I was using it as i got it for next to nothing as an unwanted rma from someone (no warranty hence not scared to hacksaw bits off it) but its a great board and will serve me well in other areas !! The Scythe comes powdercoated, the case is anodised !!
He's not throwin it away, he's just not using it in this project. He didn't 'hurt' it. Firstly, it doesn't feel pain, and secondly, that rear heat-pipe-cooler-thing-majig reall does f**k all. Its just like removing a stock chipset cooler and putting something else on there instead.
He he, Computerking you are a legend ! The lovely DQ6 is going into my everyday pc (the one i'm using now) and the Asus is coming out of it to go into the Wavemaster as its black and the DQ6 just did'nt look right in there ! Should have some more updates soon dudes as new parts are arriving !!
Sorry about the lack of an update ! Birthday celebrations have taken over for a short period (rehab to follow i suspect hehe !), more soon i promise !
Ok ! 1st off i apologise for the time in getting this done ! I'm living in a hotel room at the moment (for another 3 weeks then new house !) so its been a task to get things done and i wont be able to use this beast till then either !! I was thinking sli for quite a while but that card and heatsink is a monster and theres no room for two ! I sprayed all the pci backing plates and the in/out plate black to go with the theme. The Zalman hdd cage comes in a fetching blue colour so out with the paint ! And here it is wrapped around a Raptor X Some nice red tinted perspex on the 5.25 and 3.5" bays. How to turn some AC Ryan mesh into a nice bay stealth cover along with rubber edging strip ! And in situ ! PSU + Perspex = shiny ! Nearly done ! And turn out the lights ! Hope you like it folks !!
