Chaptre 3 : HAFinaX 2.1

 

29/04/2011

let's leave Asus for a little to join Gigabyte, sorry for the pix they were taken with an old Sony DSC-S780

 

 

In work, no one to help, just an Origami to control

 

 

 

 

Let's close the case now

 

 

We do a brand new clean installation of Windows (after some mistakes with a SATA wire)

and here is the result

 

 

what more can i say more than, i'm happy of this "investment", it's all good, it works and i wasn't asking for more, nearly a new AirCooler for some OC , but this is another story

Chapter 4 : HAFinaX 2.2

 

05/08/2011

 

The Asus P8P67 Pro came back from RMA, I bought an i7 2600k so it's normal to be back to the Asus (with a mini blue mod for the HAFinaX)

 

 

Like i said, a new air cooler appeared, the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro C1,very beautiful, but really $#!£ annoying to install, for good results and quiet, but at 12v (100%) it does some reactor noise (hopefully it's plugged with the Lamptron FC-2 Regulator)

 

 

06/08/2011

 

Everything is installed (also windows ), so let's boot

 

 

everything seems ok so let's close the beast

 

 

13/09/2011

 

some changes, like : a new DVD burner Asus (instead of LG), changed the red LEDS of the 230 Frontal fan to Blue, replacement of the 140 back fan by a 120mm NoiseBlocker XL2, and put the 140 in the 5.25" cage .

A BIG and HUGE thanks to ClandestinoDZ who gave me blue LEDS and the tools to do it, i couldn't do anything without him

and also a BIG THANKS to A13X who lend me a hand to help me working on the leds (cause i had no support to hold and do the solder in the same time ) so we did it with wooden clothespin

 

10/11/2011

 

Reception, unboxing and assembly of (03) blue Megaflow (sorry for the pix, but the cam doesn't support all these colors/lights .)

 

Let's Start with unboxing.

 

 

Now let's open HAFinaX (like a surgeon ) for the assembly, and here is what I discovered ....

 

What the ... is this ... ? :pfp:l et's clean this as fast as possible (by the way the last cleaning is less than a month ago, hopefully it's only the upper part which is "like that", but it's up, get down with move (logically ) )

A way better . I hope coolermaster (that i adore) will do filters that we can clean and remove easier (like in the NZXT for example) and especially more efficient filters because when i seen this ....

 

A fast disassembling of the Dark Rock Pro to clean the dust that felt on it. (it looks like my "old" Noctua NH-D14)

 

 

Finally here is the result. (precision : it's really blue not violet like in pictures)

 

To conclude, i'm pretty satisfied with this fans, it's not really the same blue as the other lights (we don't see it a lot) but it breathes a lot of fresh air in silence

Nice build, I like the HAF 932!

 

Whats the point of those 7.1 speakers if there are acting as a 2.1 setup?

actually it's a HAF-X but i also owned the HAF 932 for my previous Rig

 

yes it's true it acts like a 2.1 setup but it's louder

i installed them like this because i haven't much space, and lot of wires

 

PS : i'll continue to post my other pictures and the evolution in few minutes (as soon as i'll found how to add a video i'm more familiar with vBulletin forums )

Nice rig buddy

24/11/2011

 

I returned to my Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 with an i5 2500k after the "Death" of the Asus P8P67 Pro AND the 2600k Asus just "screwed up" with this serie

 

here's some pictures

 

 

31/12/2011 ~ 01/01/2012

Nice rig buddy

thank you my friend

 

Nice rig.

Especially for someone who has no money.....(piracy thread?)

thank you

I have a devalue currency from Northern Africa do you think steams or origin accept it ? by the way i bought battlefield 3 with the help of one of my uncles who have euros and a credit card (things that i can't have here ),

and i promise that all what i have here, i bought it legally from my area and from France, and i haven't stole it to anyone, or any store (by the way i do computing studies so i need a good rig for virtual machines )

I think you may have misinterpreted his reply. I think he knows that it is a HAF-X, but prefers the HAF 932 more.

 

Personally, if I had to choose I'd pick HAF-X over HAF 932.

Glad to see another HAF-X owner. Although I despise the case's aesthetic appearance, I too will be joining the HAF-X club real soon.

 

Thanks for sharing your epic journey in 2011 with us.
