preparing the Case:

i still have some great MDPC Sleeve left from my ROG Build so i think about sleeving the IO Panel cables

n0tiert · Feb 23, 2013

dismantling the case is tricky, due weak round plastic clip system

Upper Fan:

i might replace the front intake fan with this ^^ one and use the big LED for the window

n0tiert · Feb 23, 2013

Preparing the Hydro.....
now we´ll see if it fits into upper area

this case has plently of mounting holes ...... i moved it all the way to the window side so the mainboard has enough room (ram, 8 pin mobo connector / fan)

enough room :rockout:

, even with the huge Dominators RAM Fins

RAM Fan could be attached too

#mainboard

Driver CD , Manuals , SATA Cables , SLI Bridge, Audio Cable, Mainboard Backlplate

make shure you peal off that plastic on north- southbridge

Memory attached

CPU AMD FX-8350

Awesome build! One question, do you have the hydro fans pulling cool air into the case from outside? Or do you have it taking the air from the inside and pushing it out?

chinmi · Feb 23, 2013

is push pull (4 fans) on the h100i possible with that setup ??

and Sleeve on the front Intake fan

sleeving I/O Panel cables but need to straight em out first

TommyT · Feb 23, 2013

Very great setup dude congarts have lots of fun!!!! :rockout:

the new 7950 pcb is so sexy :ohwell:

d1nky · Feb 23, 2013

andrewsmc · Feb 23, 2013

Sorry for that m8, i leave em in push mode, we´ll see what the Temps say on load,
else i need to pickup 4x Scythe Slip Stream 120 mm Slim Case Fan (12,5 mm height, regular 25mm height) to go push / pull (mounted to rad) if i leave the RAD centered
i don´t think they fit quite well under the roof slats to go on 2x regular(RAD) 2x slim(Roof)

hope i cleared that now

Looks great , nice capable system.

Melvis · Feb 24, 2013

Very nice build indeed, all components are good 9apart from the DVD burner

)

Will you be pairing another 7950 with that 7950 in the future?

thank you,

I suggested it to the customer, if he does , i dunno....
since he got the Money for this Rig from tax refund

DVD was not my choice :rolleyes:

and the budget was not that high

thx

u learn every day, ya whole life.......

n0tiert · Feb 24, 2013

cable chaos :laugh:

the only drawback on the mobo so far is that i have to loop the USB 3.0 across the case to the outside :banghead:

since it has no onboard connector
the mainboard only supports 2 USB 3.0 on the rear panel

i don´t like stuff sticking outside a case.... stuff can break off :mad:

d1nky · Feb 24, 2013

ahaha my case has external usb3 connectors so it loops the same! I did think about ripping them out and using some simple usb2 internal ones

n0tiert · Feb 25, 2013

on da finish line:

# change the "XPREDATOR" to a red LED maybe

i need to get 2x Bitfenix Spectre 140mm for bottom intake / rear outtake

and some artic silver ceramique 2

the Audio/HD Audio needs some fix on the short end too, also the fan wires of the door ........
only stupid thing on the PSU, as soon u switch it off on rear , it looses the color state........... (switch LED Blue/white/RED)
and you can pop off the blue frame arround the PSU, i wonder why they didn´t add white/red too if i can switch LED colors

d1nky · Feb 25, 2013

brilliant man! you should of mounted the psu up the other way and had it red etc.... then it would look more flashy and prettyyyy! theres plenty of air entering that area to keep temps down!
