Got my new 670 in today

Was going for a Gigabyte 670, but I found a store which had the Asus DCUII on sale, which meant the €40,- price difference was gone, so I went with this one instead.

Pics!

Looks good, the only thing I dislike about Gigabytes GTX 670 is the lack of backplate with the ugly blue PCB they have

Time to start cleaning that rear exhaust fan! ;-)

Nice build

Are those the Alchemy braided extensions?

Bitfenix Extensions, yes.

Those are, ironically, the two main reasons I will only be getting those in the future.
I have a DCII, and don't get me wrong, as far as triple slotters go, they are amazing. But. Backplates are fugly

Looking at some of the recent pictures in here I really want to get a new case and PSU now. Having my cpu 4 pin go across the innards of my case instead of around the back just makes what could be a decently clean looking case just a little worse off. Plus it's a little crowded, I suppose for a 40$ case I got more then my moneys worth since it had at the time a lot of features only more expensive cases had.

Also does anyone know about custom sleeving? or when I get a HX 750 should I just spend 80$ on white cables?

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Get an AX if you want to buy the extra cables, the HX doesn't let you sleeve the 24 pin and 8pin because they are integrated into the unit.

[OmegaV]

Oh good point didn't even think of that.

Hey Drunkenvalley, where do you buy your Water cooling equipment. I have found that Norwegian retailers have a limited selection.

Hey guys, here's my modded Antec 902 V3. I made a couple modifications such as a full-size window, & a drive bay-mounted radiator. I also sleeved some (not all) wires, such as the 24-pin, 6-pins, & 4 pin. I have some blue UV sleeving if I need to (I have yet to use it) & more modding stuff. I ordered my parts from FrozenCPU (such as the molding, sleeving, etc), it all worked pretty well. Used double-sided tape mostly, used a hand cutter to cut out the panel and a dremel to sand it. Lastly, I mounted my SSD in the bottom right, behind my "creative" sticker. Not the cleanest, but I did my best. Note that I'm only 16 and this is my first build. Feel free to be critical, I'm not totally happy with the build & I still need to work it a little. Oh, mind the pictures - they were taken with my blackberry therefore are not of the best quality.

Sig specs are outdated; so here's what its at now.

2600k @ 4.8 GHz
Asus P8P67-M
GTX 570 HD sperclocked
Corsair Vengeance @ 1600 MHz
Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD
Thermaltake 650W bronze PSU
Antec Kuhler 620 CPU closed loop block

Don't get a 750w PSU for your rig, honestly.

Hey Drunkenvalley, where do you buy your Water cooling equipment. I have found that Norwegian retailers have a limited selection.

Techbay.no for Bitspower fittings, and possibly waterblocks if they have it in... Most of my stuff's gone through Aquatuning.no. This time I ordered the waterblocks directly from EKwaterblocks.com.

But yeah, digitalimpuls.no have a selection too, and while their selection is limited they have a better radiator selection than techbay... but aside from that there's not really any Norwegian watercooling shops that I've found.

Second this. Generally you want to be @ 50-70% load when you play games. This is where PSU's are the most efficient.

70-80% is the best mix.

My Gaming set-up is less a set-up at the moment and more a pile of components on my kitchen table but, nevertheless, here's what it will be:

CPU - I7 - 3770k
GPU - AMD Radeon 7950 MSI
RAM - 8GB corsair vengeance 2133kHz
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
SSD - 120GB Samsung 830
PSU - 750Watt Corsair Enthusiast Series
Case - Areocool X-strike Red-Black
Motherboard - AsRock Z77 extreme4
Keyboard - Microsoft sidewinder x4
Mouse - Microsoft sidewinder x8
Screen - Samsung 23.6 inch LED widescreen
OS - Windows 7

Should be good when its built. If only the case would arrive...

Just finished a number of upgrades on my new system, and I'm definitely happy with the results. I'll definitely mod the window though, really not liking the fan holes and the tinted look of the acrylic. Other than that, I love this Corsair C70.

Intel Core i7-3770k @4.7Ghz
Corsair H100 + 2x Cougar Vortex fans in push
8GB G.Skill RipjawsZ @2600mhz
OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS 120GB
MSI GTX 680 Lightning @1400mhz core
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium HD
Seasonic X-650

Yeah, drilled acrylic looks awful.
