The idea/theme was a joke at first, but then I realized the Archbishop Don Magic Juan would be proud

The PC is already built, but I'll be adding 2 470's with EK waterblocks to the loop.

My EK WB is gold plated

So I painted my 470 backplates gold metalic to keep with the theme.

Not a perfect match, but I rather have it similar than nickel (the original color) so the theme stays intact.

I'll be using an XSPC RX360 rad instead of the HW Labs 240mm

I'm just waiting on one more package and I should have everything installed by tomorrow night.

looks great.. love the green. stewie sticker and sata cables ruin it all, but to each his own

 

[AdvanSuper]

Not a sticker and I'm not spending $3-4 per black sata cable last time I checked.

 

[spiderm0nkey]

Tbh I didn't even notice the SATA cables.

 

[AdvanSuper]

It's just 3 red ones and there is even a red sata port so it's like I'm adding to the color of the mobo

 

[usmcz]

Great looking rig. I, too, did not even notice the sata cables and it looks like the Stewie thing is just a cutout you placed there. It wasnt in the earlier pics.

Either way, awesome rig

 

[AdvanSuper]

Thanks and yes it's just a cutout from some Family Guy stuff I got for Christmas lol.

Update... Despite having power issues :/

Looks great, good job

 

[AdvanSuper]

Thanks.

Some temps -

The RX360 does a really good job IMO.

Nice score and great system.

That is a fat fan on the Vreg, I run two slim 60mm fans on mine and it still gets to 85c under full load

I am going to water cool it before long.

 

[AdvanSuper]

IIRC it's a 40mm Scythe Mini Kaze lol.

ya same. Mine will get to 75 just playing BC2. If I fold or run any other heavy loads it will get around 85c easy

 

[AdvanSuper]

If it couldn't handle it then it would have popped already

I just don't know what the hell the were thinking with such crappy cooling for that VREG.

it is better than most, most boards just don't show the vreg temps

I have heard of them failing on our boards, but they get over 110c and a long period to fail

I have seen 100

 

[AdvanSuper]

I've seen over 100c and shat bricks, but that's because I had the PWM all the way up which wasn't needed.
