Computer Setup

Can you post more pictures of the case? I was thinking about getting the same case.

I'd love more pictures of the case as well and the cat. It's like a happy grumpy cat.

I just checked and EK offer a waterblock compatible with the Sapphire Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC Dual-X 3GB GDDR5 (11197-01), surely that has me covered? I know there were two variants of this card... I'll look into it more, but I thought I was safe.

Ouch! Thank you SO much for warning me! Sounds like I may be waiting for a 8970 or gtx 780 before I liquid cool. :/

Check out the swiftech komodos, they have a great full coverage block design. Its a little more pricy than ek, but they come with backplates which are usually around $30 by themselves

It has compatibility with the 11197-06-40G and 11197-01-40G, but it says nothing about our particular cards unfortunately. Thank you though!

That rack looks rather badass. Lay down some sick licks.

I believe what you are referring to as an amplifier is in fact my Eleven Rack. The Eleven Rack is a high quality guitar effects and amp processor. It realistically (surprisingly well, far better than a POD not quite as well as an Axe-Fx) emulates vintage and otherwise expensive high quality amps. It also allows them to be used at any volumes, were as traditional tube amplifiers have to be driven extremely loudly to obtain a desirable tone.

Thanks for the clear and concise description! If I ever upgrade my headsets to something higher end, I'll keep this in consideration!

Which variation of dt990 are you using? I've got the dt990 pro 250's,and theyve been great. Incredible soundstage, endless bass, and very comfortable. Although i wish the mids were a little more clear and present. Im gonna try new op amps in my xonar essence stx to see if it changes anything

/sigh Why would you get a overclocking cpu and have that shitty stock heat sink? If you are not going to overclock get a cheaper processor and spend more on the graphics cards.

Liquid cooling will be coming within a month or two. I didn't want to waste extra money in the meantime.

Ok, thank you. When I saw this it was like someone kicked me in the dick. If you don't mind me asking which prefilled cooler are you going to buy?

I'm actually going to go with a custom loop. It's been a project I've wanted to undertake for a few years.

Cool cool, I also have a custom loop. Mine turned out great. I hope it turns out well for you man.

My current build is an i5-4670k, running stock clocks because I'm stuck on h87i-plus motherboard (mini-itx, red prodigy).
