Case Mod - In Progress Project Orange Horizon (Parvum Systems S2 with Custom Loop)

Great new photos, I like Nos 3 and 4.

Orange and white works so well in Parvum, nice to see another one with great detailing and attention to detail.

 

The benchmarks (CPU overclocked)

• CPU: i5-4690K
• Stock speed: 3.5Ghz
• Overclock: 4.4Ghz@1.2V

 
The Process
I did some benchmark because I think it's another step of making a new build. I also overclocked the CPU at a stable speed of 4.4Ghz@1.2V. Each stress was performed with the computer case closed and the fan speed set at normal. My room doesn't have AC and the tests were done a few days ago (end of summer).

Some other night shots from the photo-shoot...

 

super ! totally clean!

 

Thank you!

 

Do you know what! I *think* this is my absolute favourite build ever on Bit Tech!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colour scheme, choice of fans (same as mine), and I'm so jealous that you've got to watercool it.

Just brilliant, so beautiful - top marks!

 

Great Build, Saw it over on the Parvum owners group (FB). You've done a fantastic job! Hope your proud of it, you certainly should be.

J.

 

Thank you very much! I just saw your build and it's pretty cool ITX is always harder since it's much smaller.

Thank you! Yes, I'm really proud of it. It's always nice to see someone featuring your build! I wish that feeling to everyone.

 

Yes! I'd really like to do a watercooled SLI mATX Parvum case build too - that mobo you've got is easily my favourite mATX motherboard currently available.

I think I'll do one when Oculus comes out, assuming SLI compatiblity has been fixed for VR.
