    Let Me Reintroduce Myself :)

    Hey there BB, hope all is well with you and your family. I bet the last couple years has been busy for you once you exited college and entered the "real world", LOL. Work sucks but it pays the bills :-)

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    Hehe at this point the pictures of the boxes is not all that interesting. Pretty cool but not very intriguing. Trouble is, this is more than just a simple computer build, it is a fairly complex WC loop, a crazy amount of cables to the point I will be making my own primary runs in custom colors...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    Porn hell, this system is gonna be all the porn I want in my house. It will be projecting Debbie Does Dallas in 8K onto my 10' X 16' blacked out wall 24/7 as an homage to the American Porn Industry. Waiting for one last package and a few additional items added to the list to complete the...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    The EVO is actually a tad faster than the Pro, it just doesn't have the same life span or warranty. The only thing I could see needing to add storage wise is another MX300 2TB and that is a ways down the road. I finally got the case this last week along with the motherboard, CPU and RAM. Built...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    What system was that last water cooled one built around? Thought it was dual 980's and the four core i7.

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    I am pretty surprised no one called me out on that screen shot! Had I posted that on Redit, I would of been called a hoax or hacks. That is a screen shot of my system with the two Samsung 940 Pro's bench marking a single drive. Samsung uses some odd caching algorithm that messes with Crystal...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    MISTAKES WERE MADE!!! MONEY WAS SPENT, ITEMS WERE SHIPPED!!! After receiving the NVME and the MX 300 SSD, I spent a good amount of time with both of them, far more than I ever cared too... The one gripe I had, of my own doing, was I bought a ver. 1.0 of a motherboard, always a good chance...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    I figured there had to be some means of finding out if that BIOS update really worked so that required ordering a Samsung 960 Pro 1TB in NVME and a daughter card for one of the three open X8 slots. And since I was going to have a nice new boot drive in NVME flavor I needed something bigger to...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    Interesting that I might get this thing to nearly 5GHZ on water, if stable that would make me pretty damned happy. Doing a ton of reading through forums on NVME and the Rampage IV Extreme and I found a BIOS that offered X99 ACH update for me and I know have bootable PCIE options...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    Since this is my current working system that is going to be upgraded, that isn't going to happen until everything is here at my house. I want everything fully assembled up to the point of doing the motherboard transfer and piping. Even at that I am praying I have everything needed to get it done...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    Yeah, not gonna be a modding event per se, no paint, primer or cutting tools besides what is required to cut some 12mm hard line tubes. For that, I am pretty sure my PVC pipe cutter will work quite nifty. Pretty funny, Jorge! I actually got my nickname one afternoon after having installed one...

    Building a workstation with water cooling.

    I had posted this in another thread, that I was moving forward with a pretty big build with a fairly insane parts list. Insane in the fact how rapidly a thousand dollars disappears when you are buying top notch gear and then adding water cooling items to the build. Due to going with Caselabs S8...

    Time for a new build, water cooling?

    I know you were, that is just one of those areas I learned about six months on the job do not mix, ever. Lost a co-worker to a late night bar promotion he ran and never quite made it home that night. I will say, the first six months on the job flew by, I was selling to bars and restaurants and...

    Time for a new build, water cooling?

    Nahh, a DUI is instant grounds for being fired with cause, the with cause part means I shit on my retirement. Having spent nearly 2.5 decades working for this company and building a pretty comfy retirement, I think I'll continue down the path of let others do the stupid shit.

    Time for a new build, water cooling?

    No, doob found out I sold liquor for a living and everything has been golden since then.

    Time for a new build, water cooling?

    Too funny, I figured you of all people would have a few opinions to toss my way. So I ordered everything but the reservoir\pumps and the fittings, will have to figure out the layout before I spend another fortune on gear.

    Time for a new build, water cooling?

    Alright, I know we have a few folks around these parts that keep fairly current with hardware releases and have done some water cooling. I am getting started now as this is going to occur in two stages, first is the gathering of all parts to build a basic water loop for graphics cards and cpu...

    HDD: Seagate or Western Digital (HGST)

    Kind of what I am hoping for, kick the shit out of waiting on disk access, read and write... Samsung just release the 2 TB 960 Pro, in raid 0 that would sure be fun.
