Do you mean the Enthusiast Key? 3 and 4 Way SLI still works for Benchmarks but that's it no game works with them.

X99 has the same amount of Boards,and Intel has used the 1151 for Coffee Lake, Sky Lake and Kabey Lake and each new CPU generates a new version of the same Motherboard.

Just wait when I build my real new PC

A little update, I hope you like it

Novalance · Posted Fri 20 Oct, 2017 9:05 PM

I like it

Bedders · Posted Fri 20 Oct, 2017 9:06 PM

Even the power supply is themed blue... Very nice!

Screw water cooling, you need something like this!

(Joking aside, very well done so far, can't wait to see the final build, and awesome choice on blue).

Wow it's going to take one to two weeks until my custom cables arrive, I should have ordered them earier.

I was also able to do a dry testboot so I can say that I have not killed the Motherboard or the CPU

I do quite like those Fractal cases - they're not overly expensive. I'm thinking of changing mine next year as I've a CoolerMaster Cosmos S and 2 of the built in USB ports are damaged and it's not easy to get replacement parts these days, though I was also looking towards the Corsair 780T.

That being said, the front of mine is vented and I believe the Fractals have a solid panel front? Maybe I'm being thick but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the front mounted fans if they don't have a clear airflow or do you have a replacement panel?

Bridger · Posted Sun 05 Nov, 2017 9:56 PM

Yes the front is solid but it has airflow slits on the side of the front panel and according to different reviewers it is fine that way.

Define S - Window

There is also the Meshify C if that case is something for you.

I will know sooner or later how the case will perform

Petrarch · Posted Sun 05 Nov, 2017 10:12 PM

I do quite like the look of the Meshify C, one to keep an eye on for sure. I'll wait and see what you say about the Define S as well.

So, the Reservoir is mounted unfortunately not 100% straight but it looks good.

More soon

looking good

I added a Drain valve to the pump and used soft-tubing because it made everything a lot easier.
