Here are some pics of my constantly under construction Darkside HAF 932 build...

Skipping the current AM3+ build because I was concentrating on building my Cooling System. We'll see what comes next but this is what I have so far for my budget system...

Crosshair IV Formula
-{955 BE}----> Now 1100T
-{XFX 5770}----> Now Sapphire Radeon 6870 (x2) soon as I get waterblocks I'll b xFiring.
EK Custom loop
Corsair HX850w PSU
1TB RAID 0
Win 7 Ultimate 64bit OEM
Sleeved with MDPC-x sleeving. Gotta sleeve the fresh cables.

My loop consists of FC and Supreme HF Classified w/ EK Black Nickel Comps, BitsPower Barbs for FC to CPU PrimoChill LRT, EK Dual DDC v2 block, Liquid Fusion 250 Res and Black Ice GT Stealth 360 topped with Yate Loon D12SM-12C pulling through Phobya 7mm shroud/Decouplers. Running GSkill 1600 Snipers for the time being, but will be going back to Dominator GTs' 2000 series. It had 1333 series when I first started out but only 4x2. As you can see, I'm running 2 sticks of 2x4. The price was right and needed a stable overclock without sacrificing capacity so I went with them. So now that my CPU loop is done I'm gonna recover a bit and save for my next ROG board.

ROG FTW!

nice build especially the t virus reservoir is awesome!!!

[Ceadderman]

Thank you Giannis996. I actually lucked into this Reservoir. Had intended to go with the MultiOption 250 Advanced but a Mate was getting rid of his Res and you couldn't beat the price regardless of what Reservoir you could point to(Free is a GREAT price! ) online. His UV Cat was busted so I'm gonna mod in a Red Cat to stay with the theme. Should make these Helices sing.

So, now that I've got a 6core CPU to upgrade to I'm going to be selling the 955 BE and hopefully getting enough from it to get 2000 Dominator GTs' to replace the RAM that I have atm. I got Doms 1333 AMD Edition back when I first built this machine, but having four slots filled really curbed my OCs' so I went with what I could afford at the time and that was GSkill Snipers. Not too bad for a low power system but that too limited my Overclocks even though I was down to 2 sticks @ 8Gigs.

Anyone got any Recommendations for a Waterblock once I go back to Doms? I would like it as tight to the footprint of the RAM as possible with very little overhang if at all possible. Input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

yeah the reservoir is awesome, keep it up!

[Ceadderman]

Just upgraded to 1100T and got 2 Sapphire Radeon 6870. With not much in the way or room left in the PCI slot area am leaving the 2nd GPU out til I get waterblocks for them.

Average temp went up from 32c to 40c @ load from lapped 955 BE to an unlapped 1100T but that's gonna change after Chimp Challenge. Gonna lapp that bad boy but good.

Also added a 2m NZXT red LED light strand and a 15" Logysis CCL to the mizx. And tacked together a pair of 3mm LEDs' for the EK Supreme block.



Once I get a couple pics done I'll be updating with some better looking ones than I started with.

[Ceadderman]

Thanks guys. I got a HUGE mod slated for this 932. But I wanted to get the internals sorted out first. Wish I had a sponsor but I make due/do where I can. Soon as I get my dremel I'm goin ta werk on this beastie.

Looking around to see what options I have for Sapphire HD 6870 Radeon. Split the cooler off the 2nd one an it looks like I should be able to run EK blocks on it.
