drkCrix Upgrade Thread

Thought I would follow O-dogs post with my own.

System consisted of

*Specs*
Intel i7 3930k @ 4.5ghz
Asus Rampage IV Extreme
2 x Nvidia 680 GTX 2GB
16GB Crucial DDR3 1866 @ 2000mhz
Creative Titanium HD
OCZ 240GB Vertex 3 MaxIOPS
WD Velociraptor 1TB
LG Bluray Burner
Enermax Revolution 85+ 920W

*Cooling*
EK Supremecy
EK Rampage IV Full chipset cooler
EK 680 Fullcover
2 x DDC3.25
Swiftech Maelstrom Dual DDC Bay Res
2 x Alphacool XT45 360 Radiators
6 x Gentle Typhoon 1850 RPM
5 x Corsair Airflow

Decided to swap out the video cards and upgrade my PSU

2 x Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce OC
2 x EK R9 290/X full cover blocks
Evga 1000W G2

Since it had been over a year running I decided to pull the system apart to clean and flush it




Pulled the heatsinks off the cards (only 6 screws, almost like they want you to put a water block on it)


Water blocks


Motherboard tray ready to go


Rad Locations



Leak Testing (coolant looks off color in this shot but it is the age of the tubes, next tear down I will be replacing it)


Back Together and Running



Have a few more things to do, I have a Aquaero 6 unit on the way that I will be using to control my pumps and the fans on the rads.

Thanks for stopping by,

Got any pics of the radiator mounting?

Added those photos, and noticed a nice surprise in the PSU box. They included a ATX power adapter so I can jumper the on pin and bleed the system

New monitors in and installed

Nice.

Been having some issues with the motherboard as of late (I bought it used). So I will be making the jump to skylake in the near future. Stay tuned!

Change of plans. Getting a replacement x79 board instead.
