Bought a new case for my daughter...

OK, I found the case. My search string was: pink vertical GPU case and boom images. So, this is a darkFlash V22. Never heard of these guys. I kind of dig it. The black version is about 60 bucks. But availability not sure where they sell. On a side note: nice build!

WhiteNoise · Dec 23, 2020

Yes that's it. I never heard of them either but my kid wanted a pink case pretty bad. Finding one that didn't cost a ton of money was challenging. This one had zero reviews (I bought mine on Newegg) so I wasn't sure about the quality but for the price its actually pretty nice. Here are a few pictures of the case during the build. The case has filters on the top, bottom and front which can easily be taken off and cleaned. That was a nice touch. It is rather roomier for a mid tower. Plenty of room for a longer video card for sure. Now it does ship with no case fans at all. So I bought 2x 140mm front intake fans and 2 120mm fans for the rad at the rear.

Earlier in this thread I posted my daily driver in a bit of a pickle due to my foolishly trying to blow the dust off the fans while running.. broke several vanes off each fan and wound up limping by with a couple case fans rigged to the heatsink of the lower GPU. Well shes all better now so here's pics of what she looks like today. I decided to keep the large fan over the GPUs but ditched the Epoxy for dual-lock. Workes like a champ. Temps never lower, and runs like a dream. I also set up the 2 Kingston SSDs in Raid0 foir a decent gaming storage area with a little balls to help load times.

nice, but it's the lesson, better for safety i always use paint brush to clean the fans

lazord00d · Dec 26, 2020

Or at least turn it off first lol.. but brain farts happen, even to the best of us. What happened was a cataclysmic chain reaction.. the plastic tube from the canned air struck a blade and kicked it loose with such force that it traveled to the next fan and knocked 2 off that one. Oh well, ya live ya learn and the fans I got from amazon have more blades, are faster, much quieter and overall an order of magnitude better than the crap that was there from OEM.. I replaced all 4 on both cards. 1: I have OCD and 2: These are much better.

The mount for my cooler finally came, only about 2 weeks late, but it came so I'm happy.

This is my 1st attempt at water cooling and these are the 1st tubes I bent.
All that is left is to put the coolant in and cross fingers. :twitch:

(I'm practicing on my old ASUS board because the MX1 Plus water block I'm using fits plenty of sizes, from this old AMD3+. to my new LG1200 socket).

:toast:

That's an awesome job @Secret Rival :respect:

I'd probably make a mess if I tried that. :laugh:

Yeah I’m still old school soft tubing. I’ll post mine up next week after I install my 5600X(if it comes next week). I don’t think I’d have the patience to work out hard tubing...

Thank you stinger608!! :toast:

I was nervous about this step! This is still my 1st build and so far everything has gone smoothly. I must be picking the right you tube videos!
I bet if you get a nice tube bending kit you would have no problem with this.
Happy new year!!!!

Both of those builds make me want to throw my case in the trash. Good job

Since my main PC seems to have died, I have to use my spare PC to hold me over until I can fix it.

Behold, the $100-ish USD beast! I threw my $72 RX 460 into an HP Pavilion 500 I found at a yard sale for $10. It's been my secondary PC for a while now, but given the current circumstances, it's temporarily become my main PC.

It originally had a mere 6GB of memory, I upgraded it to 8GB shortly after I got it, and since it's my main system, for the time being, I've upgraded it to 16GB.

I put a 128GB PNY CS900 in it as the boot drive, and I'm using the 1TB WD Blue it came with as a data drive. This is the least powerful system I have that is capable of playing Cyberpunk 2077.

Pictures of both of my z820 rigs. I have one in Schenectady with two screens and the other in upstate ny (adirondacks)

56K = death

Still fascinated with the CPU cooler. This thing is amazing, it's really a shame you cant overclock these chips, because it would perform like a champ.
