I have a gigabyte... I want to love it, and it really is a good board. But Gigabyte burned me a bit when they false advertised bitlocker edrive support.

Then again, it's easy to do that when probably only one person on earth cares (me).

They do seem built well, and without paying a premium for it like on ASUS.

Heh, I owned a Sabertooth once which was alright, but I know they do make a lot of cheapos too that aren't worth even pretending are contenders.

My Gigabyte may have made me mad about advertising, but for a $200 X99 board I couldn't ask for more... it's a trooper.

Intel boards are pretty good too. I had a DX58SO2 as well that had the only UEFI bios for X58 I know of... great board. Sucky UEFI bios but that was how it was back then in the early UEFI days.

Asrock is another brave motherboard!

My setup as it lies. (Those are 980's)

When I was GPU mining, I used dirt cheap ($70) AMD ASRock boards with semprons and ran tons of wattage over their PCIe lanes (4 7970 cards per board), only one ever burned up due to it and it was acting funny from the start.

If that's not an indication of quality, nothing is.

Honestly I also like the budget MSI boards. Never used the higher end ones but the G41 and base SLI are both under $100 USD and both overclock while the SLI obviously supports SLI.

Had to do some work on my main rig

This is before anything

After everything was taken out. Parts and my daughter's toys

Some fans

i'm hit! haha, lame joke. blood red coolant

And cleaning up some blocks

And now getting things back together. It should all be done tomorrow.

t_ski · Mar 13, 2015

No leakage pics? Where's your nuts at M? :laugh:

Gachr · Mar 13, 2015

So that's an old pic of my current build. I didn't upgrade it at all since summer, I'm going to do a lot with it this spring & summer. I'm also going to take a lot of pictures of everything once I get necessary upgrades

Future Upgrades:
CM Hyper 212 EVO (on its way)
4GB More RAM
mATX Motherboard
Soundcard
Getting rid of my HDD

Noctua Fans

thats why i love black hoses, and also transparent colant...
cooper rigid hoses are the best... but too expensive..

They're hiding inside, waiting to drop :laugh:

If it had been red coolant still, the leak pics would have been amazing! As it was, just some watee and since my lighting is terrible, it would have been blah.

Never used that but maybe one day. I was about to go with black hoses, and I think that'll be next time.

One huge issue I found with a few "black" rolls of tube, they aren't black at all. Usually a super dark blue or purple, and over time it just gets more noticeable.

my Masterkleer black are black, at last one brand you can trust to be black if i might add

sneekypeet · Mar 13, 2015

I almost would swear the last tube I ordered was Masterkleer, and are now purple

Who knows, I have so many brands of tubing around now, it is hard to keep up...lol

Maybe I just got super lucky and got my tubing from a lame dye lot. :roll:

aaaaaaaaaaawww drat ... i wonder, i just checked my leftover from my last loop installation and it seems quite black to me ... altho black is not a color ... usually black, as we define it in coloring, is indeed a real dark purple or blue
no transparency or light filtering on cut examination tho ...

you wont regret...

Also Clear / non colorant colant its better for waterblocks... lasts more compared to colored ones... and also is a way cleaner than colored ones...
if i have the oportunity to switch to a custom loop i will use black rubber hoses and clear PC colant...

ahaha indeed

altho the AT protect Clear seems to be a tad better (i had some white residue in my Balancer 150 with the ZZC)
the ZZC is in the gpu loop and the ATPC in the cpu loop

peche · Mar 13, 2015

i mean black rubber hoses like most of AIO coolers...!
those are the best ones...

Regards,

bubbleawsome · Mar 13, 2015

It might just be a dream, but I plan to make a full custo loop eventually. My favorite color scheme is while tubing with matte black blocks and fittings. I'd use some clear coolant, though not sure if it would be water or some other coolant. Would also have to add antifreeze so I could put my rad outside while it's under 30.

For now it's just another thing on the list along with the 5960x and triple 4k.

peche · Mar 13, 2015

i have meet people that hate black hoses.... they also have said that custom water loops must show its tubings and water

Regards,

sounds like subjective opinions more than anything. Choose any color tubing you want that matches the color scheme you are going for. Stay away from colored water.
