Black and white Rig

[Dicehunter]

So I couldn't help myself, I saw the 3080 Ti HOF and had to get it for my monochromatic build, Few things to add like another 2 sticks of the same memory and possibly a white support bracket, I may swap out the

Corsair H115i Pro XT for a Corsair H115i Capellix as I really prefer the look and then use the former in my HTPC, But it's largely done ​

The card itself is 1 of the heaviest GPU's I've ever come across, Must be in the region of 3-4KG, Great performer though, Very quiet and cool, Boosts up to 1950 on the core on its own and settles around 1920 after 30 minutes of a valley run.

Specs of system -

AMD Ryzen 5800X 8 core 16 thread

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3600MHz *2x8GB*

KFA2 RTX 3080 Ti HOF - 12GB GDDR6X

Western Digital SN850 PCI-E 4.0 1TB + Heatsink

Western Digital Black 6TB x 2

Corsair H115i Pro XT + 2 x Corsair HDRGB 140mm

Corsair RMi 1000 Watt + CableMod Cable Replacement Kit

Corsair 680X Tempered Glass Black + 4 x Corsair Crystal RGB Fans 120/140mm


I had to remove the bottom and middle fan on the front of the Corsair 680X as there was simply no room, A shame really as the Corsair HDRGB fans on the front looked great, I'll have to see what type of super slim fans I can get for the front to blow a little cool air over the card.... or just get a bigger case.

UPDATE

This eventually turned into a red/white/black themed OC3D style rig with case changed to a 5000D Airflow and cooler swapped out for an H150i Elite Capellix.

Front HDD cavity of the 5000D sealed off with plasticard and vinyl -

​

All fan stickers removed and replaced with white vinyl -

Capellix pump top replaced with custom OC3D plexi top -

The removable plate to the right of the motherboard now has a white/red vinyl cover to try and match the orientation of the custom Cablemod 24 pin and triple 8 pin colours -

Funny you say that because the die above was a joke i mentioned to Dice recently about rolling a die for willpower.

 

[Bartacus]

I'd roll crappy on willpower too, LOL! I've been buying ridiculous amounts of stuff for my two 3d printers recently. Especially my new Ender 3 V2, which is such a total LEMON that instead of returning it, I chose to modify the problems away. I've lost count of how much crap I've ordered in the past 2 weeks.

 

[Dicehunter]

The lack of airflow over the card from the front of the case, Due to 2 x fans missing, Was annoying me so I ordered the Corsair 4000D Airflow, Nice and clean looks, The 680X looks nice but the airflow in the front isn't that good even with fans fitted due to a solid piece of glass infront of the fans so this should help a nice amount, Sold the 680X and had more than enough to cover the 4000D.

Will post pics when I've swapped everything over.

EDIT

Scratch that, Apparently a 280mm AIO with non low profile memory will not fit in the top of the case so going to have to see what else I can get as I don't want to front mount the AIO as I simply don't like the look.

Dice. I would go back to the 540 Cube. It was designed for air flow. Has plenty of space and a back compartment as you know.

Perfect for you.

I was actually thinking about this, It is my most favourite case to date, Now to find a white one that isn't stupidly marked up ^_^

Lucky git ^_^

Maybe i can inspire you for a Phanteks P600S White, would fit your new theme idea + it is a excellent case, quiet when you want it to or when it get hot, just remove the front panel and it still keeps quiet.

 

[Dicehunter]

Thanks for the recommend but I'm not too keen on the look, Decided to go for the 5000D Airflow in white as it has ample space

 

[Dark NighT]

Also a solid choice ^^

 

[Dicehunter]

Finished, The 5000D is such a nice case and really roomy, The 680X in comparison felt claustrophobic ^_^

 

[Excalabur50]

Looks really nice Dicey!

 

[NeverBackDown]

Now you have enough room for a custom loop

Now you have enough room for a custom loop

He could never afford it. The moment the next GPU with a 0.5% performance gain comes along, he has blown his funds on that.

 

[Dark NighT]

Looking nice and tidy in there Dice, nicely done!

 

[NeverBackDown]

He could never afford it. The moment the next GPU with a 0.5% performance gain comes along, he has blown his funds on that.

That's why you make sure to get one of those fitting valves to close off the loop at the GPU so he can do a swap and new block. He'll sell it make even as per usual and get a new GPU plus block


Money never stops our lovely Dice lol.


But on a serious note he could just do a CPU loop if he didn't wanna go nuts. But probably not worth it
