Finally got my first self-built rig together and running. Very excited and happy!

Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer
CPU: Intel i5-2500k ()
MoBo: Asrock Extreme 4 z77 motherboard
GPU: EVGA GTX 680
RAM: Corsair Vengeance black(2x4gb)
SSD: Crucial M4 64GB
HDD1: WD 250gb blabla
HDD2: WD 250gb blabla (dismantled an old external HDD and put it in xD)
Heatsink: Cooler Master 212 evo with 1 fan only :S
PSU: Corsair TX 750w v2

Peripherals:
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 3500dpi
Keyboard: Some old Microsoft board

(Incoming Steelseries 7G or 6G v2)
Headphones: Steelseries Siberia v2 green
Monitor: Old 22"? Chimei monitor running 1680x1050

So I only moved the stock 200m fan from front to top and that it I guess? Before I've put it TX PSU I used OCZ ModXstream 500w and it worked perfectly and pretty silent even on 100% load. Any TX 750 users around? My fan seems to spin at 100% anytime and is kinda loud but bearable :S

Well, I'm off to overclocking 2500k :P

It looks very nice! Forgive my ignorance though, what is that square thingy next to the PSU?

It seems like a little radiator or a tiny hard disk :3

Edit: oh, seems like it's a little HD cage now that I see it better :3

**Ninjaxl** · 2012-06-15, 03:29 PM

@AtaraxyDarkmoonFaire Indeed that is a little HDD cage, originally I've removed that for more space, but after wanting to add that small hard drive I realised I didn't have any more converters from 3,5" to 2,5" so I decided to put that back in

**Blulight** · 2012-06-15, 03:39 PM

Nice OC on that 2500k with only a one fan Evo Ninjaxl! I've been struggling to get mine past 4.5ghz.

**Notarget** · 2012-06-15, 10:07 PM

New build, slight upgrade from my old one. I haven't really done any overclocking yet, for now it's just the performance setting in the UEFI running the CPU at 4.2GHz. There are a few cables visible in the pictures but they're "fixed" now.

~10 minutes to install Windows from USB, definitely faster than my old system

I had some sound dampening foam so I padded the surfaces in the case, to be honest I have no idea if it'll really make a difference but I thought why not.

Enjoy!

Looks VERY clean and slick Notarget! Great job!!! Looking forward to you making the OC stable and a real one and posting in the CPU OC leaderboards!

Also - GPU if you want. ;p

I REALLY like the look though, seriously, I took some second and third glances. :P And I love the little note open on your monitor in the 6th picture. You silly guy.

I sent you a PM but be careful OC'ing it's going to throw off some good heat and Ivy bridges are known to give off some good heat.
Keep a close eye on temps.

**Butler Log** · 2012-06-16, 09:38 PM

So long as you keep below vCore = 1.35V you should be fine with the heat output. Should be enough for a 4.5Ghz OC.

Looks pretty neat so far.

Can't see cable management very well, but that might just be testament to cleanliness.
