Finally picked up a Phanteks Evolve X, been wanting this case since it came out but couldn't bring myself to cough up the $$$ for it. By the way, it's worth it. Fantastic case.

Went back to my loop, want to include the gpu but seems a waste to get a block for a 5 year old card. Going with a blue/purple theme for now.

Before and After lapping and chamfering a RX6800 another one.

BEFORE**** would crash after 45min of max clock gameplay.
iloveAmdmetricskeepitup.png


AFTER**** doesn't CRASH and keeps trying to overclock past lock 2.6ghz so BIOS MOD TIME. ALSO a NICE 13C MAX JUNCTION FLOAT.

No surprises when it comes to the Cerberus X - just a bigger Cerberus after all. Much easier cable management, but setting up that top fan bracket though......I must have had the PSU and PSU bracket on/off at least 4 times. Unfortunately, even with the top fan, 3800CL14 @ 1.5V looks to be thermally unsustainable, so I went back to 3600CL14 @ 1.42V.

The other panel is a very nice windowed panel, but unfortunately it kills the C14S' performance. So far I haven't found a good tower cooler that'll allow me to use it. There are two short 120mm coolers from Thermalright but I can't find them and I reckon they're worse; I can't find the Silver Arrow 130 for a decent price; the Fuma 2 is incompatible with the windowed panel; the H7 Quad Lumi and H7 Ultra I can't find for a decent price.



Not relying on natural light anymore with photo setup coming together. First time in years I've taken a decent photo after sundown; I really gotta straighten out those creases in the backdrop though.

WetBench SX Pro sku angled version - Primochill offers many other configuration options.

Went with the 45degree down angle just to experience something a bit different.

The lower right radiator mount is a great position for mounting 5.25in enclosures. :)

Funnily enough, it may as well have been black. Most of the time I can't tell that it's slate grey. When the sun goes down I turn off my 5000K lights so it's just 2800K lamps.

I've been eyeing the handle for a long time on both the Cerberus and Cerberus X, but it actually attaches to a special fan bracket that's not the one I have. It allows you only to place a 120mm smack dab in the middle of the top, which doesn't work for me. Also given how heavy either case can get, the rigidity is a bit sus. I don't need a handle on my 23L Cerberus X if my 4L Lone L5 fits in one hand :)

Can't compete with that boot time, AMD is pepega. I've actually regressed with the Unify-X; it's like 19 seconds. I have 3 drives though.

Unfortunately, even with the top fan, 3800CL14 @ 1.5V looks to be thermally unsustainable, so I went back to 3600CL14 @ 1.42V.

The other panel is a very nice windowed panel, but unfortunately it kills the C14S' performance. So far I haven't found a good tower cooler that'll allow me to use it. There are two short 120mm coolers from Thermalright but I can't find them and I reckon they're worse; I can't find the Silver Arrow 130 for a decent price; the Fuma 2 is incompatible with the windowed panel; the H7 Quad Lumi and H7 Ultra I can't find for a decent price.



Not relying on natural light anymore with photo setup coming together. First time in years I've taken a decent photo after sundown; I really gotta straighten out those creases in the backdrop though.
This is a nice little build! Love Noctua fans, but not the tan/brown ones. Did you consider the grey or back ones when you built it? Black would look better in my opinion. Photo is great too.

I built a set up just for Windows 11. No way do I trust 11 on my main PCs. I only bought the cpu, motherboard and memory, I had everything else already. Gonna balance it out with blue Riing fan across bottom. For now though, surprisingly, 11 has run great on it. No crashes and just one bug. My LCD doesn't always get a signal from the gpu. I just unplug the HDMI and plug it back in for now.

Love that little HWMon display, did a double take because I thought it was a newly released ITX board before realizing how just how roomy the case is :D

Just a simple transplant from my testbench and Cerberus junior so no new fans except the iPPC IP67 replacing the old iPPC-2000. I'm not quite sure what I want to do about the fans, dunno if iPPC is actually the same shade of black as Chromax - the A14s would be iPPC but the A9 and A9x14 would have to be Chromax. They all always worked really well, so it would be purely for aesthetics, and anyways I can't use the windowed panel for the time being until I find a suitable tower cooler.

R lighting is syncing to the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl music I have playing. Trying to figure out what I should play while using PKSM.
The AMD fan was taken from an AM3-era Wraith Stealth. I put it there because why not; it makes no noise.

In case you couldn't tell, I don't care too much what the inside of my PC looks like. It sits under the desk anyway.

250€! i have made vacation in spain for 350€ one week...
juicy price for a computer which needs its own housekeeper not to get too dusty over the time...

but stylo is expensive tho..

Dust is never an issue when you use one of these with a test bench or a case.

Grab yourself one - future test bench brother. :laugh:

Funnily enough, it may as well have been black. Most of the time I can't tell that it's slate grey. When the sun goes down I turn off my 5000K lights so it's just 2800K lamps.

I've been eyeing the handle for a long time on both the Cerberus and Cerberus X, but it actually attaches to a special fan bracket that's not the one I have. It allows you only to place a 120mm smack dab in the middle of the top, which doesn't work for me. Also given how heavy either case can get, the rigidity is a bit sus. I don't need a handle on my 23L Cerberus X if my 4L Lone L5 fits in one hand :)

Can't compete with that boot time, AMD is pepega. I've actually regressed with the Unify-X; it's like 19 seconds. I have 3 drives though.

Wait, you've already had to turn down your brilliant new mem kit performance moving from your test bench to your new case? :cry:

AMD cannot do 4-5 second boot times because of something called pegaga? I don't think I like the pegaga. :cry:

How about under 10seconds? I am using a very basic version of Win10 OS, it's stripped down for office use, no extra superfluous apps to load. :)

Wrapped up some loose ends, tidied things up a bit. Seems like natural light still can't be beat:



Going for the same look as was in this image

WetBench SX Pro sku angled version - Primochill offers many other configuration options.

Went with the 45degree down angle just to experience something a bit different.

The lower right radiator mount is a great position for mounting 5.25in enclosures. :)
