Well guys I am rebuilding my PC, just picked out most of the parts. Will post pictures when I am done.

Very disappointed with the choices of Z370 boards compared to the Z270 boards. I had the board in mind I wanted but forgot it was Z270 and MSI decided not to make another this go round.

What I bought

What I wanted
Second Choice

I guess they have decided white boards are not selling well or not as good again.
 
@khemist with always the prettiest most awe-inspiring build. So clean.
 
Thanks!, it does look cleaner with just the one rad in it.

This is my current system, specs are in my profile. Just saw this thread, and saw just how long its been going on so I figured I would contribute :P Pretty cool stuff!

I will be switching this system out pretty soon though, as I have a couple of 2080TI's and an NV Link bridge on the way for Sept 20th... Pretty excited to see what kinds of scaling differences we will see over traditional SLI. I was a SLI user for every generation up until and including Pascal, I ran dual 1080's when they first launched.. But I was so underwhelmed with the dwindling SLI performance year after year, that I finally just went to a single card with the 1080Ti, and then the Titan Xp.
 
It's been four months since my last post on this thread, and a lot has changed.

I recently redid the cable management, and it has made a huge difference in how my rig looks.

Bought a new house so I finally have a office inside... rather than in the garage :laugh:

Still very much a WIP and needs a new lick of paint since the latte coloured walls feel .. well just plain wrong

Things you do when you start overclocking your CPU. I need to cool down the VRM avoiding meltdown of the motherboard.

Tried to not be ghetto mod style with that 90mm Noctua 1300rpm 4 pin fan .

A great success VRM temps results cool !

That's a darn good idea!! :) Simple and effective!! :) Nice work!!
 
Here is my pc, pardon have to use my camera flash, pictures a bit washed out. It is a mini itx desktop. Spec in my signature, got to check that it had been awhile since i posted. I am not totally satisfied with my desktop it does not seem so stable so I return it to stock then eventually just a 3.5GHz overclock on my ryzen 1700. I am not sure it is the windows 10 as it is a "recycle" one from a another pc. The ssd is pretty full, I would need a new ssd clean install. In the mean time just making do with it. I downsize my desktop from my previous Raijintek Styx micro atx to this Raijintek Metis case. Thought of staying overseas, that plan fell through. Now I have the most powerful smallest build that I have thus far. It is funny sticking a d15s on an itx board. It barely fit this case. It is touching the gpu almost and also the side of the case. I have to mount the exhaust fan outside to get the cooler to fit, not shown in picture though it worked. A coke can as comparison. Yes my case is wearing a headphone. I put smiley face on the button of the case and Raijintek logo to cheer myself out. Plus that new cute mouse too. Only two external HDD are connected.

I took out my monitor stand. So I can put it on top my old Altec Lansing Speaker, with this new arrangement for better use of space. This Altec speaker is 18 years old already! It was my elder brother's speaker it never died at all! Why I never thought of this arrangement it sounded better.

Compact little system. Nice!
 
Progress with RAM OC on my B450 platform is at a standstill due to issues with Ryzen DRAM calculator v1.3.1 settings that are suggested even on safe mode...

Oh well, at least there is always gaming with current settings ! :)

Its alive at least. After finding out the H100iV2 died.. I ordered the Enermax LiqTech II RGB TR4. So far, I've had my 1900X up to 4.2Ghz on all 8 cores and it's never topped 60C @ 30% fanspeed.
 
I was looking at the firs ten pages of this thread earlier, and I just realized how primitive of a species we used to be... and now look at all of our beautiful creations! What will it be like in ten years! OH SWEET MAMA ~

We have come a long way, even just in the last five years.
 
First custom loop built. Damn this performs much better than the Eisbaer 240!

Recently rebuilt my system around MITX.

Mobo's giving me grief, looks like it's panning on dying. So out with the old and in with the new. Jumped back to team Green after a long hiatus. Last AMD build I did was still socket A.
