Well this isn't much of a 'project', more of a quick 2-day rebuild of a rig that has now come full circle. It *used* to be on a Core P3 case with a single 420 rad, but I wanted more rad space for gaming, so it got moved into a Lian-Li Dynamic XL with triple 360s. But now this rig servers as my 'couch potato' station, where I watch YouTube, snooker, etc. No gaming on this one anymore, so I decided to rebuild it back into (err onto) the ThermalTake Core P3.
Yeah I know everyone here hates TT, but I really like the P3 / P5 cases, mainly because I'm a lazy sack and they're really easy to work on.
But this time I decided on a little twist, I sanded the 16mm acrylic tube for a home-made 'frosted' look.
System specs for those who care:
Ryzen 3700x 8 core
Asus Crosshair VII Hero X470 motherboard / EK Monoblock
32GB (4 x 8GB) G.Skill 3600 CL16 RAM (technically it's 3200/CL14, but runs at 3600/CL16)
AMD Radeon VII GPU / EK Vector GPU block
1TB ADATA SX8200 NVME SSD
2 x 2TB Micron SATA SSDs in RAID0
Asus WiFi card
ThermalTake Core P3 White Edition
Corsair AX850 850W PSU
Singularity Computers D5 pump top / reservoir
Alphacool UT60 420mm radiator, white edition
Fractal Design Prisma AL-140 PWM RGB fans
Barrowch flow meter / temp sensor
Darkside 16mm hard tube fittings / 90 degree fittings, white
16mm acrylic tube, lazily hand frosted by me with a 400 grit sanding pad
I do like my white / purple color schemes I must say:
From a distance, the sanding job came out ok:
Another lazy man staple: only single 90 degree bends. God bless cheap Darkside extension fittings!!
Things mostly line up....mostly.
I must waste excessive amounts of money in every build, this is water cooling law:
