My new box, it was a kingwin case, still is, sort of, some pics from the e-tailer for comparison -
Mine had a blue light!
the way it was!
It now contains the quad in my sig, a dual loop, triple rad setup, dual MC355's w/ the XSPC tops, the v2 Dtek alone on a MCR320 QP and the MCW60 w/ a Dtek unisink, the NB and 2 rads MCR120 and MCR220 QP for the vid loop.I used 3/8" tubing slid over the new 1/2" high flow barbs, Bitspower brand. Hot water and KY were needed to fit those puppies.
The single swiftech comes w/ 3/8 barbs soldered on so they had to go.
a little solder works wonders.
I wanted a 2 bay res but for 2 loops, I could find no such beastie so I made one.
leak testing
Time to hack the case, I went off like an angry beaver,
drives?
front
back
big psu
A little paint and the build begins,
a little paint, test fitting,,,
octopus!
So I get the P5K-VM up and running and I cooked her w/ a volt mod, it was running sweet at 3.6 but the mofsets were hot and one burned!

P5K screenie
The MCW30 block wouldn't fit the new board but I had this laying around. I left a couple of spare parts in the pic so you could tell where it came from.
NB block???
New board, a couple packs of enzotech heatsinks and we're ready to go.
It Lives!

In the front you can see my fan control and Lian Li temp readouts, the fan control wouldn't go as low as 5v so I switched the output to the fans on a DPDT switches so I can run w/ the control or 5v strait from the psu.The temp readout has 3 probes so I have 2 in the loops and one giving me the ambient air temp.
drive bays
Well, she's running fine at 3.2, the best I could get from the other board w/o the volt mod so I guess it's time to heat up this board too! Has anyone seen a good pencilmod for the P5E???:laugh:
I put coretemp up beside Realtemp for comparison's sake. RT has been calibrated according to the author's instruction at idle. I've set it up on 4 other pc's with accurate results so far so I trust it over core temp any day.
24hr + prime screenie.
Aigo, I hear you all the way on the East Coast,,,, stop screaming at those UV lights!
