A Worklog of my Agent Orange build!

  • Agent Orange

    Here goes nothing! This is phase0 and phase1.

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    TuF (The Ultimate Force) Sabertooth Z77

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    TuF (The Ultimate Force) Thermal Armor on the Asus Z77

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    Coolermaster Hyper 212+ with Push/Pull 120MM Coolermaster Blademaster PWM fans.

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866 RAM

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    Dual OCZ Vertex 4 SATA III 128GB SSD's (Phase 2 brings a Raid 0 setup) Dual Western Digital Black 7200RPM 1TB SATA III (Phase 2 brings a Raid 0 setup)

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    Single EVGA GTX680 FTW+ (4BG DDR5) w/ Backplate - Phase 1.5 (Monday says UPS!) will bring a 2nd EVGA GTX680 FTW+) adds dual SLI. - Phase 2 will add a fan to that graphics card air channel device for cross flow.

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    Dual 120MM Cougar PWM controlled fans. Loving the PWM so far, it has given much better dissipation through the top. 140MM Cougar @ max (±1200 RPM) at the rear for exhaust

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    One of the two 40MM TuF fans that circulate air through the thermal armor. The other is hidden near the IO panel on the mobo. Seems to work well enough.

  • Agent Orange Phase 1

    Here is my final benchmark for 3dMark11. Thanks for letting me spend all that time tweaking babe, oh, and dealing with 85%+ fans. I smell watercooling, but for now maybe lap the stock coolers and reapply TIM? I beat the noobs, that's all that matters!

I need more fans, oh, and some EK blocks…

I need to finish with the fans.  The 2nd card gets here tommorow and I really hope it has the same tolerances this other...
