Z77 STH10 Magnum Saturday, June 23, 2012 6:35 AM (permalink)
Finally finished my latest and thought I would share.  I designed this build to be future proof (well at least for another 4 years) and there is LOTS of overkill in this computer.   I really did enjoy planning it, designing it and making it happend. I haven't upgraded in 4 years, so I saved up my bones.

          Awesome rig.  I love the way it looks - and yes, that MOBO looks like a micro board in that case.  Well done!

              That looks amazing!
               
              Just out of curiosity, why did you decide for a Z77 build instead of a X79 build?
              You state alot of the gear is overkill but you had this in mind for longevity.
              I would of thought that spending a splash more on a X79 system would of given you that longevity moreso than a Z77.

                I didn't want the problems of the X79.   I wanted native functionality on the ports.   I wanted an Ivybridge CPU.  It was also cheaper, although price really wasn't a factor.  Its really a nice board minus a few bugs that are being worked on.  With the PLX chip and two 690s, it worked.  I also have no interest in running more than two video cards.  The 690s are pure power at a savings of heat and GPU requirements as compared to multiple 680s.  Coming from a 790i, the Ivy was logically the best move because clock for clock, it's faster than sandybridge.  I also do more than game.  I needed something with good USB 3.0 / Sata 6 gb/s  for transferring large video files.

                              If I'm thinking correctly that is probably post code 54, the board is just turned upside down because of the inverted motherboard tray.  As for what 54 actually means, I can't tell you lol...

                                          is that how the case comes or did you invert (bottom up) ?

                                              Amazing work.
                                              What are your thoughts on the Bitspower X-Station II? Been wanting to pick one up for about a year, just have never seen anybody else buy one. Really need something to help clean up my cables.

                                                  Beautiful. I would have kept the liquid parts black and grey like the rest though. I think black and grey is the best scenario since its clean and classy. That sleeving is exactly how I will be doing mine. It looks fantastic with those gentle typhoons.

                                                        is that how the case comes or did you invert (bottom up) ?


                                                        It's an inverted case....yeah that's how it comes..I particularly like the video card on the top.  My last case, the lian li, was like this.

                                                          Yeah the good news is that I had to change them only once......and not anytime else soon

                                                            Beautiful. I would have kept the liquid parts black and grey like the rest though. I think black and grey is the best scenario since its clean and classy. That sleeving is exactly how I will be doing mine. It looks fantastic with those gentle typhoons.


                                                            I came very close to doing that very scheme
