Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #1

Resized Image


Hello everyone
Then I'm back
I am pleased to participate in the contest organized by Thermaltake
All I can say on the mod I think realize, that revolves around wine, red wine ....
- "well that's a cooling wine in some sort "
Oh! Xray!

Resized Image

So I present you Xray! It is a little skull...some of you already know him
- "little !!! "
Yes! no more than 15 cm
- "not false....."
And he's here to present this workblog , so do not be surprised to see it often on photos, he loves it
- "okay.... we begin with some components..."

Resized Image

Yes! we present you all the hardware that take place in the mod
- "the first one is the motherboard"
great motherboard! an Asus Maximus VIII Formula

Resized Image

- "the brain of this config is this cpu "
an i7 6700k by Intel

Resized Image

- "the brain still needs memory "
so we have this memory array! 4 Avexir Impact of 4 Go each

Resized Image

- "for graphics...."
the eyes in some sort
- "we have this GTX 1070 Strix"

Resized Image

and as we say in France, a train can hide another ....
- "we have not one but two GTX 1070 Strix !!!!"


Resized Image

so we need this SLI bridge
- "indeed"

Resized Image

in terms of storage...
- "first, we have this Hard Drive"
a Seagate Fire Cuda
- "the SSHD "

Resized Image

and we have this little one

Resized Image

- "a SSD M2 Sata of V-color"
120 Go
- "as you can see, V has been replaced by a T "
and another little t is glued next
- "Tt like Thermaltake of course!"

Resized Image

and the case?
- "not yet "
we don't say if it is a X5 or X71...
- "the next time perhaps...."
okay, so see you soon

Re: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #5
hello
- "hello! so we have presented all the components"
yes! it is time to modding now
- "there is many space in this X71"

Resized Image

as you say Xray!
- "the main compartment rather classical form"

Resized Image

- "and we have a second compartment at the bottom of the case as you see "

Resized Image

we will do some housekeeping ......
- "and we begin with the unnecessary "

Resized Image

the fans too ????
- "yes! they are 140 mm fans"
and ???
- "and.... we take 360 radiators! so we need 120 mm fans"
right!

Resized Image

- "we take some measures...."

Resized Image

- "other one....."
yes! we have to purchase some aluminium plates

Resized Image

- "we removed the feet"
okay!

Resized Image

but what this cardboard box behind you???
- "oh this! It has been a while in a corner, and I think we will be able to use it"
ok! but what is it then
- "surprise !!!!"

Resized Image

you removed the front panel !!!
- "yes!!! well I don't know if we keep...."

Resized Image

- "and we begin to remove some rivets "
we love disassemble the cases
- "first part is the bottom"

Resized Image

but what are you doing on it ???
- "asmall grinder passage to make the flat bottom"

Resized Image

- "9 spacers...."

Resized Image

which implies that we disassemble the motherboard tray

Resized Image

- "but I put aside this"

Resized Image

- "we continue to dismantle the other parts of this X71"

Resized Image

and I see that you took the grinder again....
- "yes! for a little hole "

Resized Image

little....

Resized Image

- "okay! I confess I did not know how to stop....."

Resized Image

a large bay window for the rear part???
- "no! we make our proper rear part!"

Resized Image

- "we need some aluminum profiles"
two?
- "more two and some others too...."

Resized Image

new dancing floor special Xray!
- "or ice skating track...."

Resized Image

so what this in fact?
- "our new motherboard tray"
with acrylic plate?
- "no.... well for this moment yes but it is waiting to receive the aluminum plates"

Resized Image

- "simulation "

Resized Image

- "the purpose is to move the tray further forward, a maximum as we can"

Resized Image

- "that'all for today...."

Resized Image

but tell me, it's been a while since I see you with something around your neck
- "ah this!"
yes
- "this is a necklace of rivets, a kind of trophy"

Resized Image

and what is in the background???

Resized Image

- "a small barrel "

Resized Image

- "if you can open the tap that I am drinking from this wonderful beverage"
okay.... to drink with moderation
- "oh damned! is empty......"

Resized Image

- "we were looking for our introductory picture...."
that's done

Resized Image

Re: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #6
Hello
- "Hi! next update today....
yes! we continuie on plate, alu plate this time for the rear part
- "we have largely reduced the openings at this level"

Resized Image

we finally retained the PCI squares panel
- "so, now we locate the spacers for the motherboard"

Resized Image

I think you've missed a bit....
- "a little bit "

Resized Image

even if the acrylic plate will be replaced by an aluminum plate ....
- "we have strengthened the framework"

Resized Image

installation of the motherboard to test

Resized Image

- "to verify the correspondence of the connections with the I/O shield"

Resized Image

as long as we have the motherboard in place, we will locate the passages of the cables
- "yes! first the ATX cable"

Resized Image

- "and the CPU cable..."

Resized Image

two little cutting....

Resized Image

- "this one is for...."
let me guess!
- "as you want...."
the ATX cables
- "perfect..... "

Resized Image

- "the little one is for CPU cable...."
of course....
- "as you can see, we make one hole for each wire "

Resized Image

and this last one???
- "we don't forget the graphic card 's cable!"
oh yes....

Resized Image

we continue on the alu plate but now for the front part

Resized Image

- "we'll put one of the 360 radiator"

Resized Image

- "return on the rear plate to ...."
making the opening for the supply power

Resized Image

what are you doing with this barrel???
- "it is not only for the introduction picture....."

Resized Image

- "and.... then.... we cut this in two parts.... "
ops

Resized Image

why????
- "new plate"
what new plate....
- "yes this is a new plate!"
but the barell
- "I'll come with them...."

Resized Image

- "so this new plate is located at the bottom of the case"
okay....

Resized Image

- "we reduce the height of the two half barrels"
if you want.....

Resized Image

- "and we fixe them on the new plate!"
ok !!!!

Resized Image

- "what would a bodega be without its barrels? "

Resized Image

we will rectify the opening created at the door....
- "yes! It is to have an idea of the rendering"

Resized Image

bye bye!

Re: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #9
Hello
- "hello!"
we continue the mod of course!
- "yes! with another plate..."
one again !!!
- "a lot of plate in this case "

Resized Image

- "as you see, we create a large opening"
that's right! this plate will take place at the bottom of the case

yes remember!

Resized Image

- "we need this grid"
okay....

Resized Image

- "but...."
oh no!!!
- "we need to cut it "

Resized Image

- "and we keep the magnetic tapes"
that we cut to the right length

Resized Image

okay! then all this for what???
- "we could not leave the base of the X71 without an opening"
yes! because we have the power supply close by

Resized Image

- "yes! and now the opening created on the new plate come with his grid "
great !

Resized Image

Xray!
- "yes!"
question
- "I'm listening to you"

Resized Image

- "no! reminds you! I presented a box with mysterious objects....."

Resized Image

oh yes! and now you tell us what this mystery is!
- "new feet "

Resized Image

- "some holes to position them"

Resized Image

better !!!!
- "I think "

Resized Image

well! we return working on the mod...
- "see you !"
