The Kreijtech System

stinger608 · Jun 11, 2016

As the title states, this is going to be called the Kreijtech System.

It is a total dedication to our much missed and beloved Dean (Kreij) Kortenhoven who passed away and left our awesome community 2 years ago today.

To say that Dean was a great member is putting it mildly. He made such an impact on this site, the sister site, and these forums that our own site editor @btarunr posted his passing on the front page and a news post here:

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/dean-kreij-kortenhoven-1959-2014.201978/

Dean, ole uncle Kreij, touched so many lives here and made an amazing impact on many many members lives including my own.

He is dearly missed by so many here that I wanted to dedicate this build to his remembrance and a celebration of his life.

A very cool story first though. Trust me, its a short story.

I made a deal with a fellow member, @JrRacinFan on an awesome little Intel socket 1155 i7-2600K chip just a couple of weeks ago......Fine.
Well, after making this deal and when the chip was actually on its way to me, I found out in a forum post that this very chip was originally none other than a chip that ole uncle Kreij purchased!!!!!

That is when I made up my mind that it was going in a system dedicated to our TechPowerUp World Community Grid Crunching Team!!!! And it will be crunching for our team to help in the fight against cancer!

Fuck Cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one is for you Dean!

Bless you my friend and rest in piece. I miss you brother!

Now to thank some of our members for some of the parts to this little build!!!

Intel i7-2600K chip: @JrRacinFan

Well now, I'm quite sure everyone is waiting to see what this system is all about.

Follow along as we put the pictures of the hardware together and get this build

underway.

I'll put all these pictures in a spoiler so that people with less bandwidth can enjoy them as well.

First, lets put up the pictures of the motherboard.

Now lets take a look at the water cooling parts. I really don't have all the pictures of the fittings as I'll

be installing some of them as we build this system.

Picture of most of the parts as a whole with a focus on the radiator that was purchased some time ago from @burtram

Here is a shot of the little Micro Res:

Now lets focus on the amazing Ehiem pump:

And finally here is a shot of the Swiftech CPU water block:

Now, lets get a gander at the awesome Dimatech Tech Bench that I got from our own @Cybrnook2002

Next I want to preview the awesome AMD HD6950's that are modded as 6970's that I amazingly won

In a Team TPU Crunching challenge! This was all thanks to @Random Murderer !!!!

And now, last but not least we'll toss the ram and fans in for this final parts........Well, for now LOL

Okay, that concludes our first "pre" build segment of this thread.

Don't go anywhere as the build will be commencing this weekend and should be live by

tomorrow or Sunday.

I hope you have enjoyed checking this thread out and hope you stick around for the build!!!!

I just want to note that this build could not be possible without the amazing members and community of TechPowerUp!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone and especially @W1zzard for such an awesome community here at TPU!!!

Gosh bro, I think I have everything covered. I didn't show a picture of a hard drive but I do have a little 7200 spinner for it.

jboydgolfer · Jun 11, 2016

Ive been known to horde this n that.

What about an ssd?

Didn't try to find one as I didn't figure it was necessary just running an operating system and BOINC.

Even though I thought about it but was kind of short on funds this month. I may grab one next month though just so it accesses things faster.

Keep an eye out for a possible score. Maybe we could go halfsies if we can score a sweet deal

So this build is for crunching only?

That is correct. It will not only be for crunching only, but it will only crunch for the fight against cancer. :toast:

R-T-B · Jun 11, 2016

Need a PSU by chance?

LOL, thanks for asking bro. Actually I don't.

I have a Seasonic X750 modular gold that will be used. Its currently in a small HTPC unit that I'm going to swap out with a smaller psu. :toast:

jboydgolfer · Jun 11, 2016

Donald to dean.
Nice avatar

D007 · Jun 11, 2016

Agreed, fuck cancer.
I think this is awesome.

stinger608 · Jun 11, 2016

Well, I figured it was time to give the motherboard and chip a test.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

Now its time to get this build started.

FreedomEclipse · Jun 11, 2016

To know him was to love him

Thanks bro!!! And I totally agree. I got it for an insane price as well. :rockout:

And, I also wanted to note that the awesome member
@[Ion] passed me a free Windows 7 Pro key for this build!!!!!!!! :respect:

JrRacinFan · Jun 11, 2016

I will just say this, lock your CPU core voltage and bring it up to 4Ghz. ;-)

JrRacinFan · Jun 11, 2016

For those who were wondering, that chip has been sitting without use for about 8mos now.

stinger608 · Jun 11, 2016

Everyone that is following this, I added the picture that shows how much of a clown Dean was in the original post. :laugh:

Couldn't be a better pic of ole uncle Kreij!!!!! :respect:
