My trusty old 'Polar Claw-' machine needed an upgrade, so project upgrade 'Steel Panther' was initialized in late 2019. The first order was done in December and then the months passed, now finally after spending last wednesday building and installing windows etc the machine is up running. This is the cleanest and quietest PC I've ever made.
The Phanteks Eclipse P600S TG is just a phenomenal case to build in.
The only thing I've kept from the old Polar Claw machine (X99 i7 6950X setup) are the graphics cards, since they are still on top of their game.
My 12 year old trusty and still fully functional ThermalTake Toughpower 1500w finally retired also, but still runs in my wifes new workstation (my old rig).
I am super impressed with the AIO cooler, the PC is so darn quiet in idle if it weren't for some of the LEDs I would doubt it was even turned on.
Everything is running stock on the CPU and no PBO. Only the graphics cards retain their old OC settings.

I did a few quick benchmark runs.
Cinebench R15 = 3950
Cinebench R20 = 9000
3Dmark Fire Strike overall score = 36700
3Dmark Fire Strike Extreme overall score = 27200
3Dmark Fire Strike Ultra overall score = 15600
3Dmark Time Spy overall score = 23100
3Dmark Time Spy Extreme overall score = 12600
3Dmark Port Royal = 17800
Compared to my old setup I lost about 200points in Port Royal, which is due to the fact that my old motherboard was with 2 slot spacing between the graphics cards, whereas now there is only 1 slot spacing which translates into more heat and a bit lower boost clock. Nevertheless it is a trade off I am willing to make for this silent PC for normal desktop usage.
