I believe it's actually 15:00, however, I could be wrong.

Changing the front & lid to black & de-badging tomorrow anyway ;-)

Just thought I'd share something I've been working on over the past few days. A few weeks ago I built a little gaming rig with an overclocked 3770K (4.5GHz) using a Corsair H80i as the cooler. However, the temps were less than satisfactory. This was because of very poor airflow with the stock...

OMG nearly 4 years since this thread died. Just to say I'm getting Overclocked Orange back tomorrow of the guy whom I sold it to a few years ago. The plan is to restore the beast back to it's former glory, whilst updating the CPU (980X), RAM (32GB) and GPU's (3x GTX 670FTW). I'll also be...

Pity Aliens CM is a steaming pile of horse ****!

That cooler looks daft IMHO. Anyone in their right mind would simply x-fire two cards and get some decent looking (most likely better performing) waterblocks.

28°C idle, 58°C load. Preliminary OC = 4.5Ghz at 32°C idle, 64°C load. A little warm, however, GTX 680 is on same loop.

You can fit a 200mm rad, however, it will make access to power/reset/USB 3 ports very difficult. Will upload some more pics.

Personally, I only use 3M Fluorinert FC77 in my loops now. Basically, it's 100% non-conductive, does not congeal or discolor over time (even years). It also evaporates if you have a leak. Anyway, I just drained a 2-year old loop and the fluid was crystal clear. I also use Primochill colored...

First benchy: Nice.

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd share the first pics of my recently completed build. :D This is my first major build since Overclocked Orange, which some of you may remember lol. It's basically the 'Jack O' Lantern mod', however, with some improvements: Changes & Spec: Added Swiftech heat sink &...

Yea, they (EVGA) use the Nvidia reference design, the EK block fits. I just ordered one for the 670FTW card.

I actually ordered one of these in blue yesterday. I went for option 2 including the EK GPU block. If some people actually took the time and bothered to read, they would realize that $799 includes all the watercooling gear, as well as the case/mods. I actually worked out before ordering...

What's "gaurented"? :p

Errr, no I didn't. I actually said... "Get the best GPU you can afford though. You really need this IMHO, as it will make a BIG difference when playing back 1080p in MPC (Media Player Classic) for example and you start adding shaders etc. Also helps with Blu-ray hardware acceleration etc."...

Who in this thread said that Llano "wont handle blu-ray" ?? Oh... My Saphire HD6670 LP is silent BTW ;-)

The OrigenAE is fantastic. Don't forget the iMON HD display, remote sensor and slot loading ODD bay. Regarding the fan... all 60mm case fans are noisy buggers. You defo need a little fan controller IMHO. I'll have pics of my new build up later hopefully BTW.

How is the container support (MKV etc)?

Any Mini-ITX mobo will fit. The trick is in the cable management. I use micro SATA cables, which are so thin, they can easily be routed beneath the mobo. If you go for the Origen, get yourself a Zalman Fanmate II or similar, as the 60mm intake fan is noisy at full speed. Oh... Silverstone or...

Just purchased the Intel H77 offering for a HTPC build. Cracking little board despite the rather lacking BIOS. Does everything other than OC... fast boot, native USB, Intel networking, RAID etc. Going to order the Asus though for my next build. OCUK better get them up soon otherwise I'll be...
