Good to see you got your blocks and the right links bro.

Primochill rad grill looks right at home too.

Rig looks like a classic, where a term like "old but gold" can be applied.

Tracking your topic. Looking forward to this.

btw, it's Apogee Drive 2. Not flow.

build like this oways made me jelly

Hi....im thinking to grab Drive 2....since i need to minimize space in my case.....how the performance along with price tagged?

Where u buy that Black ice rad?

Drive 2 was quite good. Performance vs Price tag a bit on the high side though.

BI radiator you can get from forumers here in garage sales

@TS, does't 2600K a core i7?

anyway, long time no 'see'

rgds,
albert

Yeah.
Thanks for pointing it out. Typo

Ya, long time no upgrade.
This was done last year. Didnt feel any lack of power with this 2600k.

Hardware nowadays seems handle things well for ~ 3 years without need of major upgrade
