I want to switch to water cooling but I can't find water blocks for those cards.
eeyah, I mention this alot, finding a block for your non-reference cards will def be a pain in the backside. You could go universal but then you'll need to be creative getting the mosfets/vrm's to cool as you don't exposure to the waterblock.

If you need more info PM me, this thread is for gallery purposes :) wouldn't want to side track it - we have a discussions thread for that :D

Is that the Maximus V Formula that you are also cooling? Very nice board!! I heard its kinda restrictive though when you watercool that mainboard ?

Final Murdermod build, with the same WC parts I have had for a while which include a ek dcp 4.0 pump, ek supreme HF full nickel, watercool gtx 680 block/backplate, and a new reservoir I got with this build, which is an EK multioption 250.

Front of the case, of course there are those orange fans I need to fix but as of now I don't have the time to go looking for new fans - mainly because these maintain high airflow and stay silent.

Back wiring, I fully sleeved my power supply this time and was extremely pleased with the results.

A possibly final design for the interior, I plan on tinting the side window a darker shade of black and adding 1 white LED strip to give some light.


 
Few minor, MINOR niggles there but nothing worth mentioning, very nicely done mate,
C.M. Award for Cyan

@Toolmaker, I love that bottom pic man, looks otherworldly :)
*just ran through the thread again from page one, we really do have some talented/crazy folks in here :)

Ok so I briefly(pun intended) fixed it together, and it looks like that now.

A closer view of it.

Note:
I'm still waiting for my 3rd 6970 to return from its RMA trip, therefore there's only 2 6970 in my case at the moment.
Also, the EK XTX 120mm Radiator can't fit inside my case, i'm still finding a way to get it inside.

SilverStone TJ07

To be more exact, the silverstone TJ07 project actually named "Murdermod" by Charles H. The project has been discontinued for some time now but he has been working on a second case as a successor to the case style seen in my build. The mod replaces the top panel, midplate, rear panel and the front panel.

Haha, thanks! It's a Raven Silverstone RV03. I'm honestly also pretty amazed with this case, there's actually still enough space for a 240mm radiator at the bay drives area.
 
Thats better, I can see them now and pick away hehe
Bit of tidying to do but nice enough man,
swap one of the crossfire bridges over so they both face the same way,
Sleeve or tape up the bare wires and otherwise pull them tight to minimise what you can see of them,
Straighten those stickers up,
and is that cling film behind the pump?
Hehe, OCD and galleries don't mix lol :p

Good points. Will do something about it!
Regarding the pump, that's glue from a hot glue gun.
The top leaks, and changing the o ring doesn't help so I just glued it to stop the leaking.

Hey all,
Found some time to tidy my case, add my new rad and got new fans. How does it look now?

Edit: Please ignore the red SATA cable. Got to pick up a longer one to loop through the back of my case.
Also, the second PCIE cable for my GPU was a failed attempt at cable sleeving, thus the scotch tapes around it. Will get it replaced soon.
Lastly, the fan cables right at the back are extremely messy. Didn't want to drill 3 separate holes for the 3 different fans. Any suggestions?
 
Tidy....er :p
The three fan wires, rotate the fans so the cables are at the other side, maybe feed them through a spare Pcie slot?
They'll be hidden from view by the rad then,
or send it to me and give me a week :p
the problem is you have a lot of stuff there and its a back to bones job to really get the best, not impossible though
