Hi,
First of all, I would like to apologize for any grammatical mistakes, I'm from Quebec so.... Yeah.
This build was actually a project from last summer, I did it and took very few pictures during the process so I didn't bother putting it up here.
But (!), this last couple of weeks, I changed some things from the original build (You eagle-eyed will notice) and then convinced myself to take some pictures and post them.
Part list :
Case : Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl (Window)
Motherboard : Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87
CPU : Intel 4770k
RAM : 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 1866MHZ
GPU : Asus 7970 DC II
Power Supply : Corsair AX860
Fans : 2 x Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-15
Case Fans : 1 x Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition + 2 x Phantek 140mm
Heatsink : Swiftech H220
SSD : Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
Hard Drive : Western Digital Green 3TB (WD30EZRX) Seagate ST3000DM001
Miscellaneous : 5,25 - 3,5 Adaptor , Corsair's Sleeved Cable AX760 and, also, things.
Here we go.
Small modifications to these already awesome Gentle Typhoons.
Go away white pci bracket...
Sleeving them wasn't enough. I had to... I just had to...
There we go. This should fit the build best.
Early assembly. At the time, I was still waiting for my motherboard.
Swiftech H220 with shortened tubing and a touch of carbon fiber vinyl wrap.
Ouch... I had to take this chunk out of one of my GT because of the positioning of the 8 pins EPS connector and the layout of the R4. Otherwhise, it wouldn't fit with the radiator and motherboard installed. Not even close.
Still looks great. Right guys? Guys?
Replaced the stock blue power LED for a red one. Little things.
Storage and such.
The making of a cover / ROG logo that will appear in the final form of the build....
Asus HD7970 DCUII. Beast. Even though this card is now "old", it's still a beast and it looks, in my opinion, way better than the newer revisions of R9 280x.
Triple slot. Because.... why not?!
So, that's it for the "last summer projet" pictures.
This is now.
That's alot of cables...
I'm also thinking of buying a custom made glass to replace this window.
There we go. That's pretty much it. With the hand-made ROG logo.
That's it ...for now.
Thank you guys.
