Hello LTT

 

So i have decided to build a new system.
This one is going to be a little more custom and a little more better than the previous :)

 

I will stick to black and white i think, can´t make my mind up if it has to be black and white or white and light blue, only time will tell.

The plan is to build a rig with a I7 4790K, GTX 980 with custom rigid acrylic tubes, bitspower fittings and so on.
The case is going to be a Parvum s2.0.

 

Parts already bought

 

Intel I7 4790K
GTX 980
16gb hyper x fury 1866mhz ram
EVGA supernova g2 750W psu
Samsung 840 evo 500GB SSD
WD black 3TB HDD
Be quiet air cooler (only temporarily)

Parvum s2.0 in black and white
Noiseblocker e- loop fans 120mm
Be quiet silent wings 80mm

I can always change the colour of the case with an accent kit.

 

so far i have received the parts listed above

Through the magic of taking pictures the case is finished :D

I must say that the fit of this case is not spot on, some places it could have been a bit better and there is missing some 6mm screws in the box, but over all it is a "ok" case and all the small imperfections is something i´m willing to over look.

So after assembly of the case i went on but soon discovered a problem.
The heatsinks backplate would not fit on the Gryphon board because it has its own back plate.
So the heatsinks backplate had to be cut to size.

Using the same kind of magic as above i can skip to the fully assembled system :)

In the place it is going to stand until i have ordered and received the watercooling gear :)

or so i thought, as you can see on the picture the PC have booted and i am in the bios, further more i got the OS installed, but then the computer just went out (as pulling the plug) and the SB_PWR light turned green.
I tried all i could the make i wake up again but none of my magic worked :(

so for now i have to use my test bench with the new hardware on but with a different motherboard.

so this i how my desk have to look until i get the board RMA´ed
