Here's my current rig. It was the first time I installed hard line... I'm pretty pleased with the result. I need to fix some of the tubes as they aren't perfectly straight, but that's my OCD kicking in.

how hard was it ? Im way too impatient for hardline I think.

 

[TheMadDutchDude]

I bought a total of twelve 30" tubes thinking that I would mess it up a bunch...

Not even slightly. I used five, and one was purely for experimentation purposes.

I did 3D print a jig to make it easier to get the 90s, but in the end, I found it easier to eyeball it or use the table edges. It was an interesting afternoon, I'll tell you that. I would hazard a guess that it took me three hours to get it to the point where I was happy.

Finally moved on from my 4770k+B85M which I had for 5 years. And does it feel good

Accidentally got a ROG theme thanks to mobo and case color scheme.

solid rig! That video card is such a beast.

Uh... where are your intakes? Looks like you’re sucking air through the top vents and that’s about it. That airflow isn’t going to be great.

Thing is, your fans are pushing front to back. In the chassis he is on about, every fan in the case is fighting the others.
Front fans are pushing out.
Rear fan is pushing out.
PSU is drawing from the chassis, right under the GPU, and pushing out.

I was actually up all night because I saw temps at 93C while playing Metro.

I did a bit of research and made a 10mm gap for the front glass using longer screws and a stopper.

I also transplanted fans from my old PC for push pull intake.. needless to say its worked out well now AND I get the honeycomb effect


10 minutes of prime95 showing good results below wheres before it would hit high 80's to 90s in the first minute lol.

....oooh totally missed that....I see what maddutchdude was saying. The 805 is air restrictive to start with so yeah the original configuration wasn't helping.

So decided not to sell my current rig. So had a small tube re-routing and added 120mm rad and placed the oc panel inside the case instead standing out of the case and did cable management too. Also added 80mm fan on top of the vram to stay cool

Waiting the new Intel KF processor for step up to Z390.

For now :
-cleaned the dust
-changed the archive drive from HDD to SSD
-removed secondary intake 140mm fan ( too much dust sucked in and overall noise )
-pushed the good old 4790k from 4.7 ghz to 4.8 with 1.28v for 2-3 fps more.

Dat sag doe.

an almost triple slot card on a mini itx motherboard? kinda scary.

I had a mini itx case before, i already wanted to switch to micro atx a long time ago but z170 and z270 had not convinced me.

So I find myself with a rare micro atx case without the correct motherboard.
However, I will soon pass to Maximus XI Gene. Im tired of the mini-itx format after 5 years.

Fun story. I got a new case, a white NZXT. Then the ASM1480 chip decided to explode. My ASUS z270e now goes for about $400 now, because reasons. The little green motherboard is an H270 OEM HP board from a store bought computer. Thankfully I have my GPU riser because the geniuses at HP thought it'd be cool to put the motherboard power inline with the PCI-e slot The wonderful people at Intel decided that I can't use my 7600K in a z390 board. I have an AsRock Taichi that's taking forever to ship from Newegg on the way now.

Also this stupid tiny mobo has one fan header and it seems to hate my Corsair MLs and fan splitter, yay

my AMD rig going strong...

Just played around with the RGB l lights and concluded the LED strip is not required, looks much better without all of the insides lit up.

I'd take something like a small cup and prop that GPU up some. Surely you can find something that is the right height... I don't know... I don't like sags that strong could damage over time especially with fan vibration

I agree it does look a lot better. I'm not usually a fan of the strips myself. They almost hurt me to look at for too long. I just find it kind of overbearing and prefer the more laid-back ambiance of accent-only lighting. Just seems to make things pop more - draws the eye better. I dunno *shrugs*

Love it. I like the more subtle lighting. How are you enjoying those ML fans? I've been those almost exclusively.

Thanks man. They are quiet as is although I still need to buy the Corsair Fanhub but can't justify the cost just so the rear fan is lit up haha, I definitely should have looked for a self lit RGB fan.

 

[TheMadDutchDude]

If you're willing to DYI it, you can join the cables together yourself so that they share the same signals as the front fans. That'll save you a fortune.

Hey buddy, glad to see you here

That looks saggy. Definitely get something in there to prop it up. Maybe this kind of thing
