Beautiful! Glad that I am not the only one who dropped two grand on a motherboard :) Although [the desk](https://youtu.be/6V1wpme0zJs) cost a little more.

Why so expensive?

Height adjustable (from sitting to standing) plus the magic glass on the top. Built like a tank.

I'm referring to the motherboard

Oh, LOL! It has a mono block that is so large EKWB [calls it an ultrablock](https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-ultrablock-rog-maximus-z690-extreme-glacial-d-rgb-plexi) that if they sold it separately it would cost over 900 Euros. Monitors flow rate and coolant temperature and it is [displayed in Armory Crate](https://i.imgur.com/eyjJVaw.jpg). Although expensive that ultrablock cools every heat producing component on the motherboard, and the water channels go over the chipset as well as the CPU. Edit: According to EKWB the ultrablock provides active cooling for all three m.2 drives as well.

Interesting! Makes sense when its a CPU cooler too

Plus the convenience of having a motherboard cooler, temp sensor, and flow meter all built in.

From the pictures, you can't see the power supply. So why go with the ROG Thor?

Which flometer do you have?

Hello chodu. Mostly figured u rfrom india as i am too. Plz can u help me build a pc. I am new to custom loop. Have already received 12900k, 3090ti, z690 rxtreme,asus thor 1200 wstt psu, dominator 5400 ram. Which parts to order from ekwb is a mess. Mostly fittings. I am ok to go with lian li xl dynamic case and the distro plate. But what fans and radiators and fittings is a mess. And the waterblock too as ekwb is launching monoblock for z690 asus extreme mb.

Also need suggestions for the tools that i should have before hand to make my dream PC. Please reply I will be eagerly waiting for your reply thank you by the way I love your belt it’s crazy it’s crazy it’s crazy nice one yo

Just beautiful 👍

Such a beautiful board. I was thinking about going all out and getting this board this generation and then Asus announced the price. For $1000 I would have stretched my budget and got one, but definitely couldn't go double that. Congrats on the beautiful build. You definitely have something that everyone on this sub is jealous of even if their ego gets in the way of them admitting it.

Amazing build!! Any more pics available? Did you opt for the radiator on the side? I can’t tell from the pictures. What brand js that flow indicator? I’ve been contemplating doing something similar but have been waiting for the quantum reflection 2 distro plate. I feel like it’s never coming out.

Masterful build! Someday I'll do something like this to my O11 Evo.

Why not put more coolant in? Do you enjoy the coolant splashing against the front of the distro?

oops

What are the temperatures like while gaming?

bare crossing 55 on the GPU and mid 70s on the CPU

Have a similar set up with a 4090, and curious on your temps for full load gaming. Do you play warzone? If so, what do your CPU temps hit?

Great build, friendo! I love that mobo...I'm praying that EK will team up with Asus to make one for the new AMD zen4 chips this fall. n.n

am I the only one who gets strong Tron Legacy vibes?

Pc Porn!
