Hey guys!

I ordered the i7-4930k and ASUS Rampage IV Extreme yesterday.

It should be delivered tomorrow.

So to install this I basically need to tear down my computer and redo all my water cooling stuff etc. I figure I could take some pictures and show the process of installing the new components.

Computer specs:
 
Processor: i7-4930k @ 4.8 GHz
 
Motherboard: Rampage IV Extreme
 
Video Cards: 2x 7970 @ 1.2GHz core clock 1.8GHz memory clock
 
Ram: 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz
 
PSU: Corsair AX1200
 
Storage:
1x 128gb Samsung 840 Pro
2x 1TB 7200 rpm hard drives
 
Watercooling specs:
XSPC 360x80mm radiator
XSPC 240x25mm radiator
swiftec D5 PWM pump
1/2 ID 3/4 OD tubing

a shitload of fans

The processor compared to the old 2600k lol



Motherboard porn



2011 golden pads



mating with the socket



the terrifying squeeze - anyone who's installed an intel cpu with pads knows the feel of it haha



The case tear down



Looking at the corrosion for the 1.5 year old gpu waterblocks



Gpu's installed



Everything installed



Loop setup



Bleeding the loop



Finished

Lights out!

Dope man. I got the same mobo with the 3930k processor. It's super sexy ;)

I hope the next gen arch and 2 extra cores is worth it haha. I've hit the cpu bottleneck with Solidworks already lol. But Good news, I can still sell my 2600k for about 200$ lol

I love that mobo:)

I'm currently running an i7 4930k also with dual 660's. It's quite nice.;)

Hopefully I will too

I'm upgrading from some low-end msi Z68 which has given me nothing but stability issues lol.

I'm excited to see what this baby can do! Expecially under water and paired with 2 7970's overclocked to 1050mhz

Just updated OP with pics!

V Nice!

I installed multiple cores in mine, 2 duel core i-7's instead of 1 quad core to replace the old i-7 that melted my heatsink (didn't use watercooled like an idiot) which i am now

 

Now i am running smooth ;p although my room get's SO HOT STILL!!!!!!

That build is orgasmic. How much did that all cost?

Watercooling just removes the heat of your processors quicker. It still has to dump it into the room via convection - I usually shut the vents in my room and crack the window in the winter

That build is orgasmic. How much did that all cost?

CPU $570

mobo $280

ram $100

case $150

psu $165

1-7970 $550

2-7970 $375

sound card - $50

------------ $2240

watercooling

pump - $120

res/pump mods - $80

cpu block - $60

gpu block - $120x2 = $240

fittings - $100 about

radiators - $100

-------------- 700$

total $2940 +/- $100 or so

Why do you need a soundcard?
