    see you soon


  4. hello  :)

    - "coucou!"

    after the graphic cards, we have the motherboard also...

    - "the maximus formula VIII is already well prepared"

    especially with its fairing

     

    16121210335822246614704023.jpg

     

    - "more we can see a backlight placed in two locations"

     

    16121210340022246614704024.jpg

     

    but the ROG theme not fit with our theme....

    - "and we want to have a more neutral color on this fairing"

    more black....

    - "all black  :P "

     

    16121210340222246614704025.jpg

     

    we do not stop in such good way!

    - "yes! we continue in the customisation"

    the name of this mod is Wine Cooling....

    - "so we take a little piece of aluminium with a wood veneer"

    and we begin cutting the first letters

     

    16121210340422246614704026.jpg

     

    - "a bit later...."

     

    16121210340622246614704027.jpg

     

    - "...we tweak the cutting lines"

     

    16121210340722246614704028.jpg

     

    and....

    - "tadaaaa  B) "

    tadaaaa???

    - "yes! tadaaaa like drum roll  :P "

     

    16121210340822246614704029.jpg

     

    - "we make two little holes...."

    and fix spacers

     

    16121210340922246614704030.jpg

     

    bye bye Maximus VIII....

    - "welcome Wine Cooling!"

     

    16121210341022246614704031.jpg

     

    next?

    - "the cover of the chipset heatsink"

    with the ROG logo...

    - "indeed, so we take a llittle plate aluminium"

     

    16121210341122246614704032.jpg

     

    as the "Wine Cooling", we fix a wood veneer on it

     

    16121210341222246614704033.jpg

     

    and we choose a new logo!

    - "yes, and what is the best logo in relation to wine?"

    a bottle  :)

    - "better! three glasses of wine  :P "

     

    16121210341722246614704034.jpg

     

    - "so we take advantage of the backlight coming from the heat sink"

    nice!

     

    16121210341922246614704036.jpg

     

    other modification?

    - "no, it's all"

     

    16121210342022246614704037.jpg

     

    motherboard is ready?

    - "quite.... we will solder some wires on its internal face to hide some plugs  ;) "

    see you

     

     

  5. hello  :)


    - "hello! today we take care of graphics cards!"


     


    16121210310322246614703982.jpg


     


    we receive the new Thermaltake waterblock for this Strix


     


    16121210310422246614703983.jpg


     


    - "so first we have to remove the original heatsink"


    there are 6 screw fixing it


    - "yes! four with the GPU and two others for the mosfets"


     


    16121210310622246614703984.jpg


     


    - "and hop the heatsink can be removed"


     


    16121210310822246614703985.jpg


     


    first step accomplished


     


    16121210311022246614703986.jpg


     


    - "well! we continue removing others screws...."


     


    16121210311222246614703987.jpg


     


    - "fixing the backplate"


     


    16121210311422246614703988.jpg


     


    - "we take the instructions for use "


     


    16121210311622246614703989.jpg


     


    we need to place the thermal pads on the memory chips and mosfets


    - "Thermaltake has the good idea to provide a set of pads sufficient to reiterate the operation  :) "


     


    16121210311822246614703990.jpg


     


    - "It remains only to put the thermal paste on the gpu"


     


    16121210312122246614703991.jpg


     


    as you see, we have to put some white spacer on some locations


     


    16121210312422246614703992.jpg


     


    - "we need 7 screws to fix the waterblock on the graphic card"


    we begin with the GPU


     


    16121210312622246614703993.jpg


     


    first one....


     


    16121210313022246614703995.jpg


     


    - "and the other one  "


     


    16121210313222246614703996.jpg


     


    we finish them with the Thermaltake backplate  :)


     


    16121210312822246614703994.jpg


     


    - "but these backplate no fit with our theme based on wine cooling....  :unsure: "


    so we took a wooden board from a bottle box for wine  :)


     


    16121210313322246614703997.jpg


     


    - "we cut it to the dimensions of the backplate"


     


    16121210313422246614703998.jpg


     


    - "we will bring him the little touch that sticks to the theme"


    for that, we use our plotter....


    - "in order to realize our stencil"


     


    16121210313622246614703999.jpg


     


    transfering it on the wooden board 


     


    16121210313822246614704000.jpg


     


    - "some black paint later...."


     


    16121210313922246614704001.jpg


     


    - "we begin removing the outer side of the stencil  :) "


     


    16121210314122246614704002.jpg


     


    we continue on one side....


     


    16121210314322246614704003.jpg


     


    - "and voilà !!!  :P "


     


    16121210314522246614704004.jpg


     


    other wooden board???


    - "of course! for the second graphic card  :) "


     


    16121210314622246614704005.jpg


     


    same stencil?


    - "yes"


     


    16121210314822246614704006.jpg


     


    - "always pay attention during the transfer so that all the details remain in place"


     


    16121210315022246614704007.jpg


     


    - "camouflage session for the rest of the wooden board before painting"


     


    16121210315222246614704008.jpg


     


    we have added a signature in relation to the previous model  :P


     


    16121210360522246614704039.gif


     


    - "and we add some details on the edges  :) "


     


    16121210320922246614704016.jpg


     


    then we finish with this graphic cards  


    - "cool!"


     


    16121210321122246614704017.jpg


     


    see you soon


  6. hello  :)


    - "hi! tha last day, we see our new reservoir   "


    yes! but we keep the Thermaltake reservoir too  


     


    16121011575422246614698224.jpg


     


    - "the goal of the game is to get inside one another...."


     


    16121011575522246614698225.jpg


     


    no 36 solutions....


    - "we need to cut the bottle"


     


    16121011575622246614698226.jpg


     


    we can see quite a lot of ways to realize the cutting of the bottle  ;)


    - "we choose this way  :)"


    we took rope and a bottle of alcohol to burn


     


    16121011575722246614698227.jpg


     


    - "we wrap the rope around the bottle"


    at the cutting point  :)

    - "we did three laps because our rope tended to go out too fast"

     

    16121011575822246614698228.jpg

     

    we make a knot....

     

    16121011575922246614698229.jpg

     

    .... and we cut the extra

     

    16121011580022246614698230.jpg

     

    - "then, now, we remove the rope"

     

    16121011580122246614698231.jpg

     

    we put some alcohol on a small container....

     

    16121011580222246614698232.jpg

     

    - "and we let the rope soak the time it soaks well  :) "

     

    16121011580322246614698233.jpg

     

    during this time we fill a larger container of cold water

     

    16121011580422246614698234.jpg

     

    - "we put the rope back on the bottle"

    we wipe off excess alcohol

     

    16121011580522246614698235.jpg

     

    we ignite the rope

    - "at this time it is necessary to turn the bottle on itself so that the heat is distributed on all the turn  :) "

     

    16121011580722246614698236.jpg

     

    when the flame goes out....

     

    16121011580922246614698237.jpg

     

    - "....we must quickly plunge the bottle into cold water"

    to create a thermal shock

    - "and at this moment we have to ear a little sound..."

     

    16121011581122246614698238.jpg

     

    meaning the cutting of the bootle  

     

    16121011581322246614698239.jpg

     

    the cut is not always as clear as we hope....  :unsure:

    - "we needed to repeat the operation on other bottles ..."

    in order to achieve the expected result  

    - "and you had to drink all that wine     :lol: "

    no comment....

     

    16121011581522246614698240.jpg

     

    but there may be some worries when playing with fire .... is not it Xray....

    - "oh yes.....  :wacko: my finger will not contradict you.....

     

    16121011581722246614698241.jpg

     

    now we can plunge the bootle on the Pacific reservoir  :)

    -  "yes !!!!"

     

    16121011584722246614698242.gif

     

    to the next time!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  7. Hello  :)


    - "today we see our motherboard tray"


    this one....


     


    16112511414722246614659593.jpg


     


    - "no! this was a prototype to facilitate the placement of the various holes"


    :P then in fact we received the aluminium plate


    - "and we report on this the holes  ;) "


     


    16120410151322246614679098.jpg


     


    the concept of the tray is of the formwork style...


    - "so we use some auminum profile"


    indeed! and this makes it possible to pass the different cables inside


     


    16120410151522246614679099.jpg


     


    - "then we makes some holes at different locations depending on the type of cable"


     


    16120410151622246614679100.jpg


     


    what you do on the back plate???


    - "big hole....  :P "


     


    16120410151122246614679097.jpg


     


    setup on the case....


    - "main compartment"


     


    16120410151922246614679102.jpg


     


    and low compartment....


    - "where take place the two barrels"


     


    16120410151822246614679101.jpg


     


    here we'll put the slim radiator


     


    16120410152122246614679103.jpg


     


    so! we return on this motherboard tray....


    - "completing with some cable channel"


    on the front plate


     


    16121011521122246614698203.jpg


     


    - "and on the back we put some wood vennering...."


    visible through the other plate


     


    16121011521022246614698202.jpg


     


    - "a large picture window!"


     


    16121011521222246614698204.jpg


     


    we use an acrylic plate


     


    16121011521522246614698205.jpg


     


    a lot of cable channel on the bottom  :P


     


    16121011521622246614698206.jpg


     


    placing in situ


    - "with motherboard and graphic cards"


     


    16121011521822246614698207.jpg


     


    back side


     


    16121011522722246614698210.jpg


     


    we install the radiators too

    16112906102322246614670191.jpg

     

    as you see, the last time we cut the plate to the correct sizes  :)

     

    16112906102122246614670190.jpg

     

    - "now, we begin some cutting inside the plate"

     

    16120410150622246614679094.jpg

     

    after a few passes of sanding paper....

    - "and some little holes"

     

    16120410150722246614679095.jpg

     

    we can adjust the slim radiator

     

    16120410151022246614679096.jpg

     

    - "next time, the motherboard will be finish  ;) "

    see you and thanks a lot for your visit on my topic  :wub:  :wub:

  9. Hello  :)

    - "hello!"

    first, thanks for you comments  :wub:  :wub:

    - "second...."

    we continue the mod of course!

    - "yes! with another plate..."

    one again !!!

    - "a lot of plate in this case  :lol: "

     

    16120410143522246614679085.jpg

     

    - "as you see, we create a large opening"

    that's right! this plate will take place at the bottom of the case

    - "It is for that reason that we have flattened the base of the X71"

    yes remember!

     

    16112511413122246614659581.jpg

     

    - "we need this grid"

    okay....

     

    16120410144722246614679086.jpg

     

    - "but...."

    oh no!!!

    - "we need to cut it  :P "

     

    16120410145222246614679087.jpg

     

    - "and we keep the magnetic tapes"

    that we cut to the right length

     

    16120410145422246614679088.jpg

     

    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

     

    16120410145622246614679089.jpg

     

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

    great !

     

    16120410145822246614679090.jpg

     

    Xray!

    - "yes!"

    question

    - "I'm listening to you"

    we keep the original feet of the X71?

     

    16112511412322246614659577.jpg

     

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

     

    16112511412522246614659578.jpg

     

    oh yes! and now you tell us what this mystery is!

    - "new feet  :) "

     

    16120410150022246614679091.jpg
