    Hi guys, as you saw in my other thread, I was scrabbling round for advice..

    First things first, thanks to the people who helped me out, really appreciated..

    Well the build is done..

    For anyone wondering here are the specs

    4770K
    Asus Impact MITX
    3 x Hard drives
    EK pump / Res combo
    EK heatsink
    7990 with EK block (changed to 780 classified hydrocopper)
    16GB tactical Tracer
    Corsair AX850 with white cables
    Orange high flow front
    Windowed side
    1 x Very fat EK rad
    2 x Quiet Corsair fans
    Green UV tubing
    EK compression connections including 45 and 90 degree elements
    Mayhems green liquid - free upgrade from 5UB as the stuff I ordered was out of stock - AMAZING service again from OCUK

    Really enjoyed this build, im going to let the pictures to the talking.

    NO COMMENTS ON CABLING! I'm super anal on getting it neat, this is the last job I need to do but thought it worthwhile leaving that till the end.. Its still pretty neat though!

    The bitz (or most of them)

    Nice and tidy to start with, always prepare well. My number 1 rule.

    First prob shown here, i wanted to put rad in roof, but in doing so it meant I could not get to the GPU flow connectors, so had to move it to the front, which meant out come the HD trays!

    Pump also had to be moved from my initial thoughts..

    But the erased from memory loads of 7990 buzzing that I could not tolerate so along came this!

    Installed

    And thats as far as I am.. Will try and complete tonight and put some finished piccies in...

    Its performing like a beast.. With the 780 I have not seen GPU go over 40 in heaven and CPU tops at about 45 (4ghz clock)

    Its silent as well, totally silent....

    Hope you enjoy looking so far!

    How awesome are the Tactical Tracers? Best looking RAM I've ever owned.

    It'd have been cool if you could get your hands on a Bitspower FC block for the M6I - but that's a lot of power in a small box!
