Case Mod - In Progress -Tainted Freshly Squeezed- COMPLETE + PICTURES

Greetings From Greece​

Another journey begins for Barf (and as usual it starts when another project is in the works!). I seem to have a problem... I need two projects going on or else i get restless and start modding household items... you will soon see what i mean...

Having not bought into the 1155 P67/Z68 chipset, i feel left out being stuck with an x58 board and i7 920 (3 years old almost), and as such i decided to buy myself a present (many presents to be honest).

The board is an absolute BEAUTY:hail:.

Happy Modding!

 

A project log must contain pics of work in progress. Moved to modding for now...

 

I think that is the third time I have seen you say that this morning!

 

It's on copy-paste at the moment. I wish people would read the rules...

 

Sorry Nexxo,

I thought pictures taken of the gear counted as a start. :/

 

'Fraid not:

 

either way I love the pictures of the board. I just got it. Are you going to WC the NB/SB?

 

Not modding related but... what camera/lens you using to take those shots?

 

Yeah, im waiting for blocks to come out for NB/SB/PWM ...

Camera is a D300s with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens.


Best Holiday present though was these...





Such beautiful fans.... i cant stop staring at them!

and my Powerhouse!... mr i7 3930K...





Batch# 3133B469

a 3133Β464 batch got to 4.5 with 1.2vcore..... Hopefully mine will be close! hehe

Thats it for now!

Until next year!

Happy New Year, and Happy Modding!

 

Beautiful photos! And if your chip overclocks like that, on that board and with good watercooling, it will go far!

 

Would love to see some more pics of that build-log!

Kind Regards

 

Goodmorning Family :wave::wave:

Time for an update.... Its been a while, but RL has left me no spare time for modding :facepalm:

Fortunately, i found some time to play around with some of my toys, and i got some work done... :thumbsup:

Just want to say thanks to Freddy from Highflow for making this possible!​

Because i believe 1 picture = 1000 words, i will leave you with 24000 words

My Motherboard put on her swimsuit... EK VRM block, XSPC Raystorm, and Bitspower Ram coolers... Sexy






Here she is with her 2 7970's. Unfortunately the bridge i purchased was too small, and i reordered another...


Enzotech Stop plugs!


I have an idea for the Waterblocks, but i am unsure if i will go through with it...


The beast... Little Devil PC-V8


Panel Off! (after way too many screws...)


Plugs for the panel screws.


PSU Fan hole in the midplate


Cable Management? I think it has enough... hehehe...


Grill for the quad radiator


The trunk of the case.... This will eventually become a freezer


Amazing quality finish on the case...


Radiator stands and the PSU support bracket.


Το σπιτακι της αποθηκευσης


So lets put the motherboard in place.








Cougar fans, ive heard good things about them, so im hoping i will get the results i am after


Test fitting one of the rads... Its going to be a tight fit, but i think i can make it work


And an overall body shot of the case with a radiator and the motherboard in place.


I think ive given you enough food for thought

Until next time,

Happy Modding
