Nice rig !!

[@logginlocos9023]

Great Video and love the UV Blue fluid and the idea of those panels! My 14-yr Old daughter just finished building her 1st computer in this case (Gigabyte Aurus z370 Gaming 7-OP with an Intel 8700k and 32GB g.skill RGB Trident Z ram @3200. The boot drive is a 970 Pro 512GB M.2 NVME SSD). She will be overclocking it in about a week and then adding back the Optane drive she took out to pair with the 6TB WD Black HDD. Her case wobbles a bit. She did extensive wire management but had to use a lot of zip ties as there really aren't that many tie points - the velcro straps are pretty much it. The other thing we found is that the velcro straps shed like a sheep...we had little curly velcro pieces everywhere and she had to clean the basement area prior to installing the HDD there. She added 6 Corsair LL Fans (2 140mm fans on the front AIO radiator, 1 140mm rear exhaust, and 3 120mm fans on top for exhaust (rear and top are running at lower RPMs than the AIO front fans). The rear and top fans are all connected to the case fan hub and can be controlled by the motherboard - PWM signal is fine. With this case hub, at least one fan has to be connected to the white (rightmost) fan header, otherwise, the motherboard will not get a PWM signal. The case hub is connected to the SYS_FAN_4 header (not the 3Amp header) - and had to add a fan extension cable as the included fan hub 4-pin cable is too short. The front two fans on the radiator are connected to the Kraken AIO pump/fan splitter cable. I am going to show her this build video so she can get inspired and get her courage up to learn about and try to water cool here build in the future and eventually get rid of the NZXT Kraken X62 AIO. She loves RGB...what can I say, she is still a kid at heart.

Her build video is finally up and can be found here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGKbfZ2or9V2rZI She had a lot of fun building it and learned a lot from the experience. I hope everyone enjoys it!

beautiful build dude just subbed, You should make an rgb cover for that sli bridge =)

[@chessinli]

very nice build. the seasonic prime series psu will match the color scheme perfectly

[@westonbahr3037]

I'm digging the crossed pcie cables! Very clean work

[@knuckleheadcomputers]

Nice

[@lukaszobel2002]

I would like to ask if you could share your messurements from the bottom and backside acrylic panels. I am planning a distributionplate for my new build but didn’t got the case yet. Ideally I would need the width from the mainboardtray to the sidepanel on the psu shroud. Thank you very much!

[@Skanda222]

Looks nice! Is parrellel on those gpu's safe? No chance of liquid being stuck etc?

[@d0pstar]

Did you have the white fanheader populated on the fan controller? It needs to be populated for the fan controller to work at all. It reads the fan rpm on the connected fan and sends it the the motherboard.

[@bryanhilton5131]

Fact. I have the case. it DOES work

[@05berrygre]

Well, I know what case I am getting for my first custom loop! What temps are you getting with the i9? I have it and I am hoping that going custom will help.

[@azozfs5330]

Hi, I’m planning to use the same motherboard, ram sticks, and case on anthracite grey, and i wanted to ask u if the silver/grey of these components match well.. thx in advance

[@azozfs5330]

Is that the anthracite grey version of the case?

[@5euros806]

Very nice build i would recomment putting an acrylic piece if front of the cutout for the evga psu! Just my opinion i think it would look better but overall great build with nice details!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Not a fan of the PSU cutout but it doesn’t bother me enough to change it

[@bryanhilton5131]

@@v.aesthetic3764 add a 5" display there (about 50$) with aida64 for a neat custom display....check out vid on JayzTwoCents.

[@drekoll]

Love the build. Have you found anyone who makes a UV orange that looks orange but not a orange juice color?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I have not but that would be awesome

[@namvu9222]

Do you have any problem sync the case RGB with motherboard using the 3 pin 5v rgb cable of the case?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I didn’t try it so I can’t comment on that

[@luizvictorsq]

How much would you price this?

[@x32i77]

Temps for gpus and cpu ?

[@Q8Police777]

Whats the fitting you used for the fillport? I used the ekwb one and its too bit for the hole

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I use the Bitspower bulkhead port.

[@MAREAL]

Looks great but were are the fans? I cant see them at all 😯
