Salemik Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 This is my build so far but it still needs work, lights etc. It seems bullet proof so far and runs everything maxed out. I'm trying to use Asus and Corsair where I can. "Wolfenstein-New Order" in "Uber" mode looks great set on "Ultra" and is smooth as silk now I've dumped the Beta driver and reverted to v340. The original "Cougar" 1000watt PSU didn't last many weeks but the AX1200i is perfect. Looks good and comes with loads of cables to spare. The fancy lights on the H100i packed up after a couple of days which I was gutted about but other than that it works great. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k532/ETViking2007/Sabertooth%20X79%20new%20build%20photos/EAG_7620_tonemappedR_zpsc9f62f97.jpg http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k532/ETViking2007/Sabertooth%20X79%20new%20build%20photos/EAG_7622R_zpsb6f8e54f.jpg http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k532/ETViking2007/Sabertooth%20X79%20new%20build%20photos/EAG_7615R_zps49565fb3.jpg Corsair C70 Vengeance case Asus SabertoothX79 Intel i7 3820 OC@ 4.7Ghz EVGA GTX780 ti SC (Superclocked+) Corsair Vengeance LP x 16GB@1600 AX1200i PSU Corsair H100i cooler Samsung SSD 840pro 256GB Asus BluRay ODD-BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Sharkoon internal drive dock (2.5" + 3.5") - really handy X6 HDD’s X6 case fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nice build. Switch that side fan to intake instead of exhaust. It will provide cooling to the board that x79 needs. Plus by the looks of it you have 2 intake and 4 exhaust currently. Which causes negative pressure. You want positive as its better for cooling and dust buildup.

Salemik Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I may well do that and maybe add a second in the door. I've been hoping that it will draw most of its air through the filtered floor and front. Making the pressure positive will negate the filters. There is so much to take into consideration it gives me a headache. I have been keeping an eye on the temps though. The CPU is never above 29-30 deg and there's nothing above 35 deg on the board. It's all made worse by the fact that I live in an old house with a wood burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've just turned the door fan around and guess what? It doesn't like it a bit. It must be causing turbulence or something as it's noisier and has very little effect at all. Even though it's set to draw air inward there is a slight draft on the outside very close up to it. Perhaps I'll have to cut away the Perspex and fit a more open grille. I'll leave it as it is unless the noise drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
