Hey guys, been a long ass time since i posted on here with a build log. Well better late than never right? So lets get started.


For those who are new or have forgotten, here are links of my previous build logs on another forum


Project IAMEXTREME - Wait till you see this one!!!


Project pcXtremists (tj-07 Build)


This is the main thing...its gonna be used for all the time consuming, processor crunching, gpu intensive excel calculations that i do:p (excel is quite a resource heavy program you know:p)


Anyways, I present to you....the build that FINALLY will get completed without any issues (i hope) or rather i should say....the build that better get completed without any issues.


Spec sheet as always:
Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K (arrived)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB 1600Mhz CL9 (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
Motherboard: ASRock z77 OC Formula (have yet to order)
Graphic Card: ASUS GTX 690 (Already own)
Power Supply: Thermaltake Tough Power 1500W (way overkill i know but im not in the mood to buy a new psu right now)
Casing: Silverstone TJ-07 (Already Own)
HDD: 128GB OCZ Octane as Boot Drive + 3 x 256GB OCZ Vertex II SSD's (carried over from SR-2) + 1TB WD Green for content. (Already Own)


Im not a fan of air cooling so water cooling specs are:


CPU Block: EK Supreme HF Water Block (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
RAM Block: Bitspower Universal Ram Block for 4 Dimms
Pump: Swiftech MCP-655 (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
GPU Block: EK FC-690 CSQ Full Cover Nickel+Acrylic Block, with GTX 690 Backplate
Radiator: XSPC RX480 (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
Reservoir: EK Multi Option RES 250 (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
Fittings: Bitspower Compression fittings as always (carried over from the SR-2 Build)
Coolant: Mayhems Pastel Sunset Yellow (the best bit)
Tubing: Danger Den Clear Tubing


This time im staying true to IAMEXTREME colours, the build is gonna be in black and yellow, the casing is with overboost since a month and a half now (ive been planning this build for almost 2 months) and hes done some interesting work on it (different than what you've seen before as always). Ill share some ideas in coming days of what ive planned to get done on the casing. Motherboard is most probably arriving in September, water cooling has been ordered and its been shipped today so that will come by a week or two as well and i got the processor today so majority of the stuff has been sorted out.


But of course a build log is not interesting without any pictures in the first post, so here's a slight teaser. There are still some finishing touches that need to be done on this.








These are the Gelid Fans that i used in my second last TJ-07 Build which looked like this





Since these come in blue and blades are UV reactive, and also the fact that yellow fans are a pain in the ass to find, i got them painted. As i said that the they still needs some finishing touches but overall i really like the look especially when they're spinning. I have black and yellow coloured MDPC sleeving from before, so i wont have to wait for that, but i wont be sleeving the psu wires. I have ordered the bitfenix extension cables which will be sleeved and used instead and of course it will be heatshink less sleeving as im currently doing in my server build which is turning out to be like this:





I guess thats about it, so let the comments and questions roll in. Thanks for watching:)

The whole build is delayed because of the motherboard which should be arriving soon....so when that comes in....updates would be more frequent.

In the mean time performance pcs and stuff from MDPC arrived.















Im really glad on how the coolant colour matches exactly to the colour of MDPC Sleeving. Coolant is Mayhems Sunset Yellow BTW

Something else also arrived but i couldnt work on it yesterday...so here we go:)

Time to update this thread.....be ready for lots of pics










cpu 8 pin power connector got the treatment











And so the sleeving got done.


































yes i know that last wire is a little bent....i just havent had the time to fix it. but it will be fixed when id be assembling the rig.


And then the t-rex from toy story got curious about what i was doing so he decided to step in





He got on the fan to check its build quality





And then he climbed up on the card but he realised he's scared of heights





And finally a shot to see how the card looks with the backplate on











The fans with their final finish:D







Casing almost done painting...just a few coats of polish left:)


















And this is its current state

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
