Day 33

hey guy!

its been awhile and there have been some big changes to Valkyrie!

first, i've gotten rid of the top mounting fan controller.. just didn't look as clean to me anymore so.. i modd'd a rheobus to a meshed bay plate.

then i used one of MNPCtech's slabs to cover the top fan controller holes.. like so.

i've upgraded Valkyrie's GPU. she now has 1x 295 instead of 2x GTX+s.

i do apologize for the pic. it is somewhat ghetto rigg'd right now so i can use the rig. i had problems with my 8pin on my psu so i'm using the 6+2pin right now to make sure it works.

a closer look at the 295 with heatkiller gpu block. on another note.. i've taken out all the nickelplated barbs and replaced them with nekkid brass ones.. oh how i love brass. :

and i've also replaced the exhaust fan with an 86CFM panaflo.. i figured i was pretty dumb at the beginning.. why have low sound+CFM noctuas when my rig is at full blast all the time? so yeap.. got off my lazy tuchus and changed it.


thats about it right now.. the next update should be sometime over the weekend when i change the enzotech mounting plate with one of my own custom ones! so stay tuned!

OH! i forgot to mention.. no more lights... why? my light connection lit 2x fan controllers on fire.. don't know what happened.. it was working fine before... but after my new hardware and changes to the loop.. it started acting up.

and those wondering when in the heck i'll actually finish this build? SOON! verry soon! so soon, i can almost taste it!
