Currently working with EK on an part they said would fit the X399m when it first came out that actually doesn’t. So far while the process is time consuming (back and forth) they seem to be taking care of me.
So wont be able to water cool the VRM unless I try to do a custom block thing. Still working on that part of the project.
Rez is still up in the air, I want to have one but will probably try my hand at making one or try and sucker a co-worker with a lazer to cut me some.
So I have a bit of a change of case coming, so its putting my project on hold. I ordered a cerberus case so that will be its new home.
So ended up with 120x30(350w) and 92x45(220w) only for rad space have 120 blowing air on vrm
Need to order new pump top but that should be it so probably 1 more week. Ram should be here tomorrow

You could definatly drop the price a bit from where my build is, but some parts are older and I put the price I paid when I got them and some parts were upgraded from older builds so the cost to mod to how I wanted it was a bit more expensive then just buying it already the way it would be.

Still working on that PCPartPicker link
Forgot to post a picture, really need to take a better one, its going to go to air once AM4 Zen2 plus comes out and moves its life over to my wife owning it
No longer water, due to Radeon 7 Gpu uprgrad coming soon
Optane drive did make it in finally like 1 year later
Ordered some things to go back to water in an upgrade build when it happens (not sure when 100%)
Mainly new case Lian Li PC-010wx and EKWB for Radeon7

Not 100% on which storage will come over from 1950x build and what will stay. As well as what all of my WC parts will be used and if I will need to order new ones to maximize cooling (MIght want to get a 280mm instead of using two of the 240s I already have) Case eneded up being used due to it being backordered pretty sure its discontinued tho so Ordered that off Ebay last night ened up saving like $80 over waiting for new
So made some decisions on storage gonna move both over minus optane (gonna leave that for wife or move to server) And get her a 970 evo 500gb for boot/os
Tight fit! Looking good!
Yeah gonna have to do a plexy spacer its like 1cm to tall, or might just run no glass on the side, also might swap top fans to noctoua to not have two fan colors
Maybe swap fans too
Filled ran power cables but need 24 pin extension so gonna wait till after my trip but just need that and should be ready for boot
Still have some things i need to update, and need to do a flush, but to busy with class this week to want to mess with it too much.
Pump is currently set to 40% power static, this might also change
Might also change these curves
So I am pretty sure my Chipset is overheating, gonna flip bottom rad fans maybe, or get a water block for it. I did have the fan profile on silent but aparently thats not good enough happend both times not after like 3-4hr gaming session. CPU didnt seem to be that hot (60s) GPU wasnt that bad either tho so I am assuming it was chipset, gonna turn on loggin on HWInfo next time I game just in case and keep and eye on the temp now as well. Seems like X570 chipset cooling in Taichi leaves a bit to be desired.
