New i5 rig - updated with piccys

[Zeus]

Was hoping for 4.0GHz, but thought 3.8GHz was more realistic, But-



CpuZ Validation http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1176250

Still a little bit of tinkering to do, but very happy with rig

did have a nasty water leak with water all over the mobo in the CPU socket, but all seems well

60Gflops think that makes me the fastest at NE (CPU wise ) till proven other wise ( Zeus throws down the Gauntlet  )

will post some pics when done as I haven't used a PC Case but got it all in a cupboard - its an open plan design only has two fans 92mm externally vented and once you close the cupboard door you see nothing

as promised heres the piccys - hope you like them!



as you can all see this isn't a sloppy quick job all, components are securely fixed and no electrical hazard at all. Case makers all over the world will be after my design temples just you wait and see 

know you can see how easy it was for the water to flood the mobo when the CPU blocked leaked

and for the water reservoir - its on top of the work top



Wife likes it there 

had to clear the worktop to take these piccys

turn up with the Kitchen cupboard 

It's water cooled so I'd expect to see the sink as well.
