Put all the masking tape on the front panel and top panel of the case..

user posted image

I trace the line up to the end nearly 10mm from each side of the front panel..and for the top panel is around 15mm from each corner of the panel..all the curve are traced using old 50cent coin..

user posted image

This is my weapon of war..I think it save more time compare when using dramel..but the vibration is like hell.. rclxub.gif

user posted image

Due to the noise produced by the jig saw I only manage to cut the top panel only..haha laugh.gif

The top panel suppose to use 2mm thickness aluminium plate (based on Singularity Build)..but here in Kota Kinabalu, I just don't know where I could get it in just a small amount..all the shop I go offer me like 4 to 8 feet long plate..too big.. blink.gif

So I decided to change it with 3mm thickness of acrylic sheet..

user posted image

Tested and it fit the upper handle nicely..but the edge of the acrylic need to be sanded and polish a bit..

Hi..

Just a little update..I trace the screw hole and radiator hole from the original top mount of the prodigy..main agak2 jer.. laugh.gif and then cut the acrylic..

user posted image

The two fan holes traced using 1pc of blank CD..don't know how to do actually..just gamble and cut..

The edge need to be sanded to smoothed the rough edges..

user posted image

Test fit with the radiator..it fit well..notice that the radiator is mounted toward the edge of the back panel..this is to give way for the front mounted radiator..For the top radiator I use my HardwareLabs Black Ice® GT Xtreme 240 radiator and HardwareLabs Black Ice© GT Stealth 240 will be mounted to the front panel..

user posted image

user posted image

Hopefully it will give enough clearance for the front radiator..since in the Singularity's Build, he used both front and top are the same radiator (HardwareLabs Black Ice© GT Stealth 240), I don't really know the measurement..but I guess it will fit..otherwise I need to opt for the slim fan.. tongue.gif

In Singularity Build 9, he use the 3mm acrylic sheet to cover the radiator holes both on top and front panel..but I haven't decide yet..for mean the time I use this 120mm fan grill..

Hmmm..I'm still waiting for the front panel to be delivered.. but anyway I think its already on the way..must take a while from Penang to Kota Kinabalu.. biggrin.gif Thanks shepard

While waiting for the front panel.. something came in my mind.. whistling.gif why don't I start assemble all the other parts first..

SO..I start assemble the GPU and motherboard waterblock..since both of it already in my possession..already had the waterblock since April..

user posted image

Fisrt let I'm installing the motherboad waterblock first..

user posted image

The backplate for it..

user posted image

user posted image

Put some thermal paste..but I don't use the one supllied by EK..I'm using my Arctic Silver 5..don't know which one better..but I go for arctic silver 5..

user posted image

If you all notice that this waterblock will cover the processor and the southbridge chip..so the stock heatshink need to be removed..the one in the picture I don't what it is called..haha I think its power phase.. sweat.gif

user posted image

It is quite tough to install it..maybe because I don't any experience of it before..to cut the thermal pad is too much hassle for me..why don't EK just supply a precut thermal pad.. rclxub.gif

My original plan was to get the bitspower waterblock..but always no stock..so I go all out for EK..hence all the other watercooling part for this build are from EK..

user posted image

So this is the finish assembly..The stop fittings just to avoid dust from entering the waterblock..

Hi..salam Ramadhan to all my fellow Muslim..and good morning..

Just a little continuation for the waterblock assembly..haha just came back from cinema..hell yeah transformers.. drool.gif

Ok..next we go to the installation of the GPU waterblock + backplate..

user posted image

The waterblock is quite heavy..I think I should opt for the plexi type..but its all about money money money..huhhhh..

Here are what it had inside the package..and once again the thermal paste doesn't come precut..

user posted image

user posted image

The backplate on the other hand came with precut thermal pad..

user posted image

Ready to open the stock cooler..

user posted image

The bare GPU..need to clean the chip from the old thermal paste..

user posted image

Sorry didn't take enough pictures..the complete assembly..but it is a lot easier compare to assembling the waterblock for motherboard..

Hello..

Just small update..RAM assembly..The RAM for this build originally planned to use G.Skill Trident X 16GB 2400..but unfortunately the stock always unavailable..So I decide to change it Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB 2400..don't really know about its performance.. sad.gif

user posted image

The waterblock that I used is EK-RAM Monarch X2 which is originally design for dominator class RAM from corsair..so EK-RAM Monarch RAM Module for universal RAM is needed...

user posted image

user posted image

The time taken to dismantle the stock heat spreader from the RAM is quite easy..BUT DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE TO IT..MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR RAM.. nod.gif

Even though the thermal pad doesn't come precut..this time it has marking where to cut each (for this RAM it has 16 chip per module)

Now the installation of the waterblock..

That's all for today..huhu..Waiting for the front panel acrylic sheet..maybe will receive it today.. icon_rolleyes.gif
