Assalammualaikum and hello to LYN forumer,

would like to present to u a little bit of worklog and also some modification which will be expecting to complete couple of weeks after raya..hopefully..

this casing was the casing i've been looking for..small..compact..and watercool friendly..i remember it was couple of weeks ago..i was planning to upgrade my cosmos s watercool system,after 3 weeks of planning, i already pick and choose item almost wanna pay deposit, got called from infamous mr.P said that 'the case' has arrive to our shore..with unbeatable prices and deal, it only took me an hour to think and cancel previous intention and grab the opportunity to become one of the owner of this great case.

Black novus is the name..novus means modern,new and black because it is black ..color theme will be black/orange...this casing might have set a very high and new standard for M-itx build..hopefully there will be alot of competition building cases like..then we might have a good oc-able itx mobo in future.

this is some of the plan:
[ ]Purchasing and awaiting all item in hand *in progress
[ ]Modification on the side panel and some touch-up *waiting in line
[ ]Assemble *waiting in line

The Hardware:

-The shell/chasis/casing [Bitfenix prodigy]



-The core/mobo/heart of the beast [zotac z-77 itx Bt/Wifi]



-The Processor

intel i5-2500k..hopefully it can go 5ghz @ 1.45v on this mobo

-The Ram [16gb aeres g.skill]



-The Storage [SSD intel 520-240gb, 2x 500gb black WD]





-The Graphics [MSI GTX580 oc + ek wb nickel plexi]*which is on sale



-The Power Supply [Corsair TX650M]




and some watercool gears..will update soon! sry for the bad quality picture..doing all these worklog using BB

now the hardware that will keep novus safe from being supernova..

The Coolant



nothing beats distill water ....eventhough some color coolant wont stain..like the ek bloody red premix coolant..for now using this..who knows i might interested to get mayhem..

fittings



im a big fan of BP stuff..hahaha... even though the price is quite expensive..maybe next time ill go with monsoon fittings..looks nice and the price is lower than BP

Fans and CPU block



raystorm and infamous gt fan!..it run dead silent on my cosmos s ..hopefully it does the same thing for this build

radiator, pump, reservoir, cables, and thermal paste



mx-4 is the best and cheap thermal paste..bought it at rm24 last tuesday @ lowyat after i went to aquaria..didnt know there is walkway towards bukit bintang from klcc..got air cond some more..hahaha


for those who familiar with the raystorm and the res i used..it comes with a blue led..so in this build..ill change it to orange/yellow..yet to be decide

only waiting for new stuff..and phobya rad and fan

eager to see what is coming next

The mobo and cpu block



it is nice..and wonder how will it look later when orange led lights it up

and after a week hunt for gc..atlast settle for something value for money..thank you mr. volt for being patience with me

The GPU



with voltage adjustable...cooled by watercool heatkiller gtx670 wb..it will outperform the 680 at stock

and now..waiting for the gpu waterblock and phobya radiator + 200mm fan to start the build

Finally got yourself a 670 eh bro ! the build is looking good bro , anyway the 200mm radiator, import directly from foreign site ?

i guest bulk order from cyntrix

no choice...u dont want to sell ur 560

200mm rad and the wb import directly from Aquatuning by cyntrixtech...next batch will be in august..not sure when though

they sell at cheaper rate...compared to purchasing it urself

Time to upgrade ur cam

ganas la marsha1| ..terbaikk!!

Yea..I just sent my rig to cyntrix..due to mb issue..and he will take the photo..haha

Hahaha..its nothing la bro..this is a budget gaming rig..bru siap hardware..belum msuk hgian mod..tgh funding skit..lari budget..anyway,waiting for ur awesome rig..looking forward for it

Haha..aku segan nak wat worklog

we are building this rig. It's almost done, so the work log is going to be mocked up

yup..sent my whole rig to him since i did a purchase on phobya rad + fan + aqua computer gpu block for 670 from him..

daripada hantar mobo saja..i sent all of it..after quite sometime finally i could have the infamous cyntrix magic touch

here are some sneak peak..and might help usop for his cable management



the gray indicate the 200mm fan..where else the black color indicate the phobya rad..and orange will show the tube route

awaiting for phobya rad +fan + gpu block..only then i can have my rig and side panel window + led blink2 mod can start

+9999 respect to mr. P
