Then a comparison... HPTX is bigger than I had thought.







Here's some size comparisons, the UD7 is slightly larger than your normal ATX.

A new sponsor appears!



A huge thanks to Michael @MIPS for the sponsor!

Sneak Peek:





Can't wait!





Huge thanks to Robert!
This is everything that's done so far. Waiting on the case, blocks, and FC. Once those come in I'll start more ordering.

Sorry for all the posts, only allowed 15 pictures per post right now.

So I'm curious... One of the biggest drawbacks of the SR-X was that none of the Xeons available support overclocking (they all have locked multies, and QPI doesn't go more than 5MHz or so above stock). Has that changed?

Unfortunately it has not changed yet. Luckily the Xeons themselves at stock are quite powerful, but I definitely wouldn't mind having the ability to OC them :/

I'm stoked to see your builds, Big fan of your choice of case brands. I recently picked up an M8 from CaseLabs, by far the best case I've ever owned.

What size tube are you using in your loop(s) ?
