ITTLE OG "little rog" (build log)
So it's upgrade time again, new parts new case. I have gone for the CM 120 Elite this time, it's a lovely little case and seams to have fell by the wayside in many people's eyes.
The plan is to build a SFF with big power that stays cool, my old Sugo maybe whisper quiet but it keeps getting hot and I have to pop the hood to stop it dropping during heavy gaming sessions. So as the title suggests this is another attempt by me to fudge together a working PC this time based on the Impact as opposed to the Gene.

Pics....
Bit blurry this one, used my phone. 😮
It's a classic.
Look at all this C%4P.
More C%4P.
Awww it's so cute.
Better..
Looking more airy now. 😄
Will it fit..
Yes it will! with plenty of room to spare. In fact I may go full custom loop in the not too distant future as a bloody great big Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 140mm will fit..... with about 1mm to spare. 😛😉
So I have been doing some crazy long shifts at work and the going has been slow but for the most part it is more or less built.
Time for more pics
Beautiful little Mobo
I cant remember who came up with it, taking a pic of the pins with a camera before fitting the CPU and checking for bent pins was is great idea. whomever it was. Kudos
In goes the CPU
Trident X
And H90, utilising fan header 3 for pump. PWM cougars are going to be controlled with fan expert 2 via CPU Header.
