I got mine because it was the Xeon branded i7 990X and because of it's age, a lot of them are on the market from servers that are being upgraded with newer chips that are under intel support.

I got my Xeon stable right now at 4.5GHz on air.... the temps are pretty close to the limit so I'll be dialing it back down for normal use until I get better cooling that would fit my CM Storm Scout.

I ran out of rigid tubing so I put that piece of white soft tubing there. I will be replacing everything with white soft anyway so that it matches the motherboard

Hey I have a question. Sometime when I'm older I want to get into water cooling. All I want to know is how do you bend rigid tubing? What's the process?

Firstly firmly grasp it :D.

You can get bending kits. That come with bending jigs, heat gun, silicon insert etc.

Not really much too it. Measure rough where you want it to go. Pencil mark the silicon. Lube the silicon rod. Insert into tube.

Heat up tube with heat gun until it starts to drop and bend under its own weight. Bend with jig or by hand. Hold until it hardens. Remove silicon insert. Insert into fitting, measure, cut to size bit by bit until it fits.

If it's not quite the right angle you can easily re-heat and tweak it until correct.

Well I was afraid too of doing it for the first time. I suggest you go with PETG over acrylic, it's easier to bend and doesn't crack that easy (I lost a lot of fluid because one of the acrylic tubes in the bottom cracked) and you can use a regular tubing cutter that you use for soft tubing. All I use is a silicon insert and a heatgun, I do have a full bending kit but that's all I use from it. I do the bends by hand. Don't cheap out on the heatgun though, I have a cheap heatgun and the bends don't look as nice as other people's, I believe it's because of that.

Got the new Block. Also I did a mixture of soft and rigid tubing to balance the blue and white color scheme.

Hahaha @Shane I like that idea, pretty cool! Keeps it off the floor too which will help stop dust!

Not seen you round on here in a while, how's things?

Yeah,the standard rubber feet only lifted the case a little from the floor,Now its a little higher but still fits underneath my desk no problems and actually gives the PSU more breathing space underneath.
Seriously though my system is very heavy,much heavier than you think it would be going from he photos,Made it very difficult to pull it from under my desk but now with these castors on its so easier as im always faffing about with my system,trying different things,Upgrading etc. :D

As for not seeing me in a while,Yeah ive still been visiting the forums but just sort of lurking. :D,Everything's good though on my end thanks for asking.
