And so it begins...
Yes, due to my holiday pay, I will be finally doing what I want to do, and water cooling. This, along with an upgrade to an i7 860.My i5 750 will be sold to my Brother, as he will be doing a build in January as well. I'll be more than likely documenting that too. As for now, I'm just going to chuck up a parts list.
TFC Xchanger 360 with 6x Noctua NF-P12s in push/pull configuration
Swiftech MCP355 w/ EK X-Top v. 2
XSPC single 5.25" bay reservoir
EK Supreme HF Acetal v.2 CPU water block
EK FC470 Acetal+Nickel GPU water block
Bitspower 1/2" High Flow True Silver Barbs
Feser black tubing
The radiator, barbs, and pump are all used products, the same with the i7 860. All other parts will be purchased new from Dazmode. I'm hoping to put the order in on the 7th of January, and I would hope to receive them by the next weekend. Of course, this is best case scenario. I may just have to pay for a more expedited service. If everything goes well, Nick will have ordered his parts on the 7th as well, and would expect them by the next weekend too. I'll bring home my i5 750 and the Noctua NH-U12P, which will be his. We'll build his system that weekend, then I'll take my parts home and start my water cooling build on that Sunday. Of course, I have a basic camera now too, so expect pictures!
The i7 860 should be a beast, as it seems to clock extraordinarily well. The previous owner managed 3.8GHz at 1.24v stable. This seems as though it's the perfect candidate for my loop. Very pleased.
I'm going to have some quick overviews of stuff up here that came about in the past month or two. I did get a couple things, and I'm very pleased with them. Stay tuned, and I will update soon.
PS: Still working on that SF-1200 install guide.
Whoa is me... I'm so whoa.
