Notes

June 2014 updates. So got everything installed I wanted, except some white ram sticks - still on order. Even got round to benchmarking with 2 x sli. Again waiting for another sli bridge to turn up in the post for full on 3 x sli. Nothing wrong with a little more white round the place - hope you like it.

Old log.
This is my latest crack at home build. Still got the cables to sort out but overall fairly happy. folding already and have oc'ed it to a point. still think there's a bit left in it. running new graphics driver - finally an approved one. not sure it's faster though.

So, after the 2014 TZC I thought it time to do a full teardown and see how things were. Watercooling circuit was still in great shape, the silver bullet was being erroded but not too fast, some discolouration on the inside of the tubing, that's about it. Pumps were still virtually silent, had to keep checking the rpms to make sure they were still running.
Bit of dust build-up, more than I expected so I will be working on more positive pressure and better airflow in the case.
Case is still great. it could be more white so I'll be working on subtle bits of trim.

Changes planned for the rebuild, 2 extra gtx670s, smaller cylinders reservoirs so they can be mounted higher, remove the bottom HDD cage, fit Nexxxos 360 white instead of the 420 up top, fit Nexxxos 240 white at the bottom - both with push pull Bitsfenix Spectre White fans, extra 140mm case fan (you guessed it - white), replace all the tubing but keeping the white theme, Monsoon fittings.

Very White, I hope you gave added more coolant it looks a little low in the reservoir. Great looking Tubing and layout.

Thanks for your comments and +1s. Monsoon fittings are great - all good and easy to use. going to double up with another gtx670 soon.
