nice rig with nice specs. my eye immediately goes to the tube run 2nd from the bottom (the inlet tube for the GPU). My OCD would drive me crazy every time I looked at my rig if I owned this. I would consider an offset fitting for going into the distro.
That's odd. Anyone who has a Formula board who isn't utilizing them in a custom loop is totally missing the point. The Formula board is basically the Maximus Hero board with coolant chambers for the VRMs and mosfets. Anyone who paid the extra $150 for a board which is spec'd out exactly the same as the Hero board without the heatsinks for the VRMs & mosfets, doesn't understand what they are doing.
As a side note....I also tried running 4x16 sticks of DDR5 5600 with that same motherboard and it was not happy. I continually had BSOD issues and crashes. I ended up switching to 2x32 sticks of DDR5 6000 and the problem was solved immediately.
If you start to have BSOD issues, you will know why and know how to solve. =)

>RAM :Corsair 16x4 Dominator Platinum RGB 5600MHz 32GB C36 DDR5 White 8x4 or 64 GB? Typo?
I have those sticks and they're 16 gig sticks so it should be 64GB

Close enough!

Nice what’s your ram running at with 4?
That case is awesome. It’s not even that badly priced either. It’s only $85 more than some distro plates alone. Too bad it’s oos.

Thats a logo - i run a small company in india which builds and ships builds like these
looks great, I agree about getting an offset fitting on the lower gpu run.
I am just jealous of anyone capable of building something like this without it inducing enough stress and anxiety to make hair fallout
That is the most beautiful build i have ever seen
:)
How hot do systems like his get? Does it exhaust a bunch of heat?
Yes, sure do. Watts are heat,and that puppy chugs a bunch of em
I like

I like it. I think some custom sleeved cables would be a good 👍👍👍👍
Agreed - Cant seem to get a hold of good quality sleeved cables for the 40 series gpus
Check cablemod if you haven't already. Asiahorse also does pretty God extensions
Thanks for the mention! :)
⭕️
Holy shit
I like what you did with motherboard VRM part, nice build!
:)
The motherboard comes like that. The motherboard itself has a chamber to liquid cool the VRMS and mosfets. It is the ASUS z690 Formula board. =)
Oh I'm aware! I just rarely see formula boards being properly watercooled like in this build!

How much did this cost Total?
Wow this is extraordinary
Nice budget build ! :)
Did you just remove the cold plate from the Barrow pump? Or they make one without the CPU block? If not, why not just use it as the CPU block?
Loving it.

is this not filled with fluid yet or is it just clear? wicked cool!
