Alright here it is, pics as promised. Had a lot of fun building this!

Omg thanks man that was definitely what I needed to do. It booted first try I'm hyped! Will do pics tomorrow. It's midnight and I'm putting on the finishing touches. I'd advise not mounting the internal power cable last...it's not as easy as I had hoped. Custom cables will definitely help, I...

Got my case! Loving it so far but I'm very confused. How do I get the top grate off so I can mount the top rad? Im sure this has been mentioned before but if someone can point it out with a picture I'd be grateful!

Went with something a little different. It’s a metallic purple. When it arrives I’ll post pics

I got unpainted but I did go through with getting them to paint it for me. Worried I’d fuck it up lol. Shipped them some paint from prismatic. Just got my tracking number as well!

Haha I’m in the same boat. My gaming/music production set up is in the basement, but if I did VR there I’d punch through the ceiling, so my VR space is upstairs. Two PCs was just easier and gave me an excuse to build. Real shame on Skyrim controls for index tho.... I just bought that last week...

Nice dude, my build is also to power my valve index. I got way too anxious waiting for the case and dropped my new 2080 into my old/current 2600k build to play it. That cpu is a champ it runs super well still. Absolutely blown away by the index, can’t wait to hook it up to a sff case with a...

Hey @JaPeMo I feel your pain, I bought that same AIO as well and now have to return it for a NZXT which seems to be an inferior cooler to the corsair. It’s annoying for sure, but like others have said it is what it is. We are early adopters and there’s always issues. Complaining won’t change...

Damn that's the exact AIO I bought, I wish I had known this prior! I don't like being forced into the NZXT because I've heard it has a lot of problems with software. Are there any other better 280mm AIOs that are known to fit?

Damn, and I just bought this from Microcenter for $165 a week ago. Nice deal. That’s the RGB Pro one right?

Sweet, I got the h115i as well. Nice to hear it can handle the 3900x. How’s that VRM fan?

All the 3700x sold out at the Microcenter near me so I put in a reservation for the 3800x while I think about it. Gets held for 3 days. Hopefully some benchmarks come out. I wanted the lower TDP of the 3700x but I think I might manage anyway since I got a big ol 280mm AIO ready to drop into the...

Agreed. My case won’t arrive for a week or two and the 2080S isn’t out till the 23rd. Going to let some of this dust settle and see how things shake out. I hate being patient tho!

All these X570 issues are giving me cold feet, and I don’t have anything taking advantage of pcie 4. I’m considering getting a x470 board instead and asking Microcenter to flash it and saving some money.

I think I’ll stick to one vented one windowed as well, and order another vented down the line if temps make me uncomfortable.
