This is the build to end all builds! My 2015 dream machine build log is here. I've partnered with a bunch of awesome companies to bring together my "last" build log. To clarify, my last, as in my last daily driver. There will still be plenty more logs for dedicated folders and show rigs 😄
Specs:
- Murdermod/XForma MBX MKII - ROG Edition
- Dell UP2715K (5120x2880)
- Intel 5960X
- Asus Rampage V Extreme
- Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x8GB
- 3x Nvidia Titan X
- Seasonic 1200W Platinum
- Cooling by EK Water Blocks
- Sleeving provided by Sanctum Sleeving
Updates!
Welcome aboard!
Update!
First... the main player:
The Dell UP2715K
Best on monitor audio I've ever heard
Impossible to keep dust off the edge to edge glass panel though
Sleek
The back is quite dirty already it seems...
Charging port, love it
I've never used these covers before in the past but it works quite well with this monitor
4k for the peasants
5k for the PCMasterRace
And yes, you can view it in portrait
These are actually only 4k shots because I am a peasant and only use the laptop near the photo studio 😞
The edge to edge glass was honestly what sold me on this monitor. I love the aesthetics of the iMac 5k but I couldn't bring myself to settle for the hardware so I picked up this one as soon as I had realized it was edge to edge glass

Small update as today is super busy, but the Asus goodies arrived and I wanted to share 🙂
So I got a bunch of new studio stuff and I did some test shots first with the motherboard I've used for countless builds, and while still the best looking motherboard I've ever owned, it is sadly showing its age and will not be my main in this one 😞
*Please excuse my scratched up backdrop*
Anyway... these are just testing out the new toys and experimenting with looks!

Alright guys, enough teasers! Here's the board and SLI bridge from Asus 🙂
Big ol' box from Taiwan 😄
ROG OC Panel
RVE VS RIIIBE IO Plate... kinda miss the black
OC Panel 5.25" bay
Pretty standard accessories from the ROG
This board is hot man...
mmm
I'm really glad IO covers are standard on high end boards these days
ROG
Holy outputs batman
Even the subtle design on the PCH heatsink are great
So many pins
m.2
Love the PCI dip switches ❤️
SATA for days
Solid audio. I kinda miss the 6 pin connectors compared to molex but I'll survive. At least it's more strategically placed compared to the 6 pin that used to be way up near the dimms
ROG SLI Bridge
Solid aluminum...
Big thanks Asus ROG Taiwan!

Here they are...
Oh yes 😄
Back in black
Hnnnnng
Those cards though...

Box from the motherland arrived! EK-Supremacy EVO Nickel Plexi + Nickel mounting plate
3x EK-FC Titan X Nickel Plexi + Nickel Backplates + EK-FC Terminal Triple Parallel Plexi (what a mouthful...)
Nickel BPs are hard to take photos of....
Blood Red Coolant
Never get tired of our FC blocks...
Haven't decided which route I'm going to go yet. Thoughts?
Dat coolant... actually looks like blood.
Fittings. Inspired by @Malik
Compression...
90s
Pass through, extenders, m-m rotary, female-female
Pass throughs, female-female, male-male rotary, plugs, and socket extender
I don't think many know what this fitting is for... the EK-Socket Extender, despite many asking for it.
Our standard XRES with nickel extender fitting that is required to fill the inset G1/4 threads.
The socket fittings replace this nickel fitting and now you have a completely black solution!

Next up, the sexy platinum 1200W PSU.
PSU brought to you by the lovely people at Seasonic!

Very padded PSU
My favorite cable bag to date
Other:
Lovely PSU bag
Exposed
O.O
Plenty of stuff here 😄 and one of my favorite features - hybrid mode.
Cables
Seasonic sleeves the 24pin and uses the flat style ribbon cables for the rest. All black, very clean look for those that aren't custom sleeving.
Don't worry... there will be sleeving
Seasonic Sleeving:
Until next time...
