Small update

been doing some testing with the rig today, and i had to mount the aircoolers back, due to a leaky gasket on the waterblocks, sent them off for RMA now (F)

But ive decided to do the loop with brasstubing, just to make it kinda steampunky!

And the CPU seems like a good sample, since i got 4900mhz stable on all cores(@ 1.437vcore) with 64 gb of 4200mhz ram, did a cinebench run just for fun!

This system is a flex, do something nice with the cables and it would basically be a entry level “show system” as I like to call em.

thank you! :slight_smile:

The cables doesnt bother me, so im probably gonna leave them as is, im no fan of “cablemods”, i like to use the included cables that comes with the PSU

12

I’m not a big fan eather but you’d be surprised black or gray sleeved cables work for everything

13

I might have to dig up my sleeving tools then, and do it myself, since i kinda want to keep the cables that FSP already put on the PSU, they seem pretty decent and “trainable”.

Hmm, a mix between black and dark grey would probably make this rig “pop” a bit more, thanks for the feedback :wink:

i am selling these extensions for cheap… 6+8 pin PCIE (looks like that’s what you got?), 8 pin CPU, and obviously the 24…

originally planned for use in a build that never came to be as i bought back a build i made for Alphacools 2019 CES booth. just lemme know but otherwise not really trying to hijack the thread to sell you something just mentioning in passing.

15

not hijacking at all, i`m always open for advice!

i might be interested in those, but i dunno ho wmuch the shippinh all the way to Norway would be? if the shipping isnt crazy, im interested :wink:

I don’t have local computer shops that have more than the usual dust filter, Akasa 120mm fan and USB doodads. :frowning:
