2017 Competition Build Log

[drkCrix]

Greetings everyone,

Never been big on build logs as I always just built the system and did photos of the finished product so here goes.

I will be doing a traditional tubing system, and will be trying to minimize the tubing runs and try to keep as much hidden as possible.

Cheers and good luck to all

Looking forward your pictures. Good parts.

[Hooded]

Sound like a killer build.
Heatkiller is currently my favourite blocks

[drkCrix]

First Daz order placed today, mostly small modding parts, but usually the ones I forget about at the last minute.

Probably 1 big order or two smaller orders left (once I figure out the pumps and if Daz can get the acrylic block in)

Cheers,

Chris

Time to add some pics

Case shots are from when I first got the case....5+ years ago (older then my first born) I won't be using the DVDRom, the fans pictured and no drive cage.



And finally some new things

[EZ's PC's]

Looks like another great project woo-hoo!!

[drkCrix]

Another small update.

Fans came in today, and hopefully my 1st Daz order will be here tomorrow.

Beyond that my main Daz order will be done next week and then it becomes a wait

[logicalways]

love new builds!! those M.2's and heatsinks looks awesome!!

[drkCrix]

Things are on hold until I can figure out where Fedex delivered my package to.


*EDIT*

Package found!

[drkCrix]

Did some cleaning today, and removed all the old O rings



Bake at 350 or until golden brown (and no I didn't put them in the oven to dry )

[drkCrix]

The big order has been shipped (Thanks for the quick turn around Daz!) now I just need to check the GPU block page every day until I see the Heatkiller 1080TI NI-Plexi block back in stock

[drkCrix]

A few updates,

I have received the bulk of my parts, Thanks to Warplane for selling me his 1080TI Reference block. Just waiting on some small odds and ends.

Until then....man this watercool stuff is nice

[Hooded]

Sweet kit. Love that Watercool line.

THose heatkiller res sure are purdy

[drkCrix]

Did some sleeving tonight on the pump and got the fans mounted to the rads to check fitting clearance
