Project: Highstrung [AKA. Walletbreaker]

Okay OCAU, here's the deal. I'm about to get a little bit nutty with my tiny TJ08-E, and I thought I'd come share the madness here.

If you take a peek at my sig, you'll see there's a decent amount of power packed into this tiny mATX, but not enough. The current plan is to replace my GTX680 with a GTX690, replace my AX650 with an AX850, and then, get wet.

I'll be sticking a Magicool 180mm rad in the front, and an XSPC EX120 in the rear, and here's a peek at my current PCCG cart.

Stay tuned for more to come, mainly, the excretion of my wallet.

in your order you have the GTX 690 water block but your sig says you have a GTX 680...

He said he's wanting to replace the 680 with a 690.

i say drop the silver and keep copper only loop with liquid utopia-

From my reading that's the best combination at the moment, to avoid corrosion and growth :/ feel free to correct me

Thanks for the suggestion. This is my first balls out water loop, so I'll definitely look into it. I haven't read alot on liquid utopia, but had the prior knowledge that some silver would set me good. Thanks

Going to get everything in and going on air first. Money is tight for the next 2 weeks, so I don't wanna overreach and be left hurting for it. Next stop is a GTX690 and AX850.

anti kink coils <- not required and look kinda fugly.

whats wrong with the AX 650 PSU? its more than powerful enough for your build then some!

3/8-5/8 tubing will suit a matx build a lot better.

Piss off the silver and the anti kink. Get smaller tube.
I might also suggest a D5 pump if you can fit it. I have one of those DDCs and they're noisy little fuckers.

Also buy from GAMmods if you can, PCCG have a shit range and crap prices.
TKR is also worth a look, especially if you want more range with your waterblocks (or any GPU waterblocks for your GPU).
