And now the Intel Core I7 980X :



Intel DX58SO2 with g.Skill F3-12800CL7T2-12GBPI and EK Supreme HF Acetal + Nickel :





Back in the case :

 

Didn't you go for an Intel motherboard before as well? Are they any good?

 

Well it's my third Intel motherboard :

- DH57JG (mini-ITX)
- DH67GD (for my HFPC mod)
- DX58SO2 for this mod

They are really great and everything necessary is in the box. The overclocking program (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility) is awesome !

 

It's time to cut this case ! A little modification to fit the radiator :



Ready for the nightmare :



Sorry Mr. Lian-Li but I have to cut you !

Eh ??

 

I love that reservoir, this is another lovely build cyril keep it coming

 

Into project logs, since you started modding it

 

Hey ok !

 

Here is a little update :

Case in modding = messy desk !



New (and cleaner) desk :



Some work on the front plate :

 

Here is the two last day's work : front plate holder for the watercooling radiator.

 

I bought a new toy : precision soldering iron from Goot !

 

So jealous of the soldering iron! looking good keep it up!

 

I have that same one. The only downside is that if you are not on same powergrid that is in Japan (100Vac 50hz I believe) then it will run hotter than normal and your tip will get bad quick.

 

Thanks Soulmage I didn't tried it yet :/

New stuff, some teasing
