UrnaCom Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hey there, almost finished my very first PC build ever. I loved to have plenty of space in the front to build the H150i Push/Pull with great comfort. Cable management in the back is still a bit messy but I am getting there. Can´t wait for my custom PSU shroud cover and some card backplates for cosmetics to arrive. Actually, after receiving all the parts and starting to assemble I figured it is pretty Corsair centric I deliberately chose a Red/White/Black theme honoring my favorite soccer club ;) Happy for feedback and ready for hate or praise :) Btw: Thanks to the forum lads who provided the nice diagrams for setting up the Fan controller, Node Pro, etc. That is really helpful and spared me from considerable frustration... Specs are the following: Asus Strix Z370 E-Gaming i7-8700K der8auer (5GHz) Palit Super Jetstream GTX 1080 Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB DDR4-3200 Corsair HX850i Corsair H150i AiO CPU Cooling Corsair Crystal 570X Creative Soundblaster Z 6 x Corsair ML120 Red 3 x Corsair SP120 RGB Commander Pro Node Pro RGB Hub 4 x Corsair LED RGB 1 x Bitfenix LED Red Cablemod sleeved cables Keyboard: Speedlink Ultor Mouse: Logitech G502 Monitor Acer Predator XB271HU To come: Custom backplates for soundcard/graphic card and PSU shroud cover from Coldzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 And you know that the RGB increases your FPS by 25%, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrnaCom Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I was desperately seeking ways to OC my strips and fans to even further increase FPS (fun per second) but didn't succeed. :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrnaCom Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Finally, the fully finished build. Basically, added some custom Coldzero backplates to GPU and Soundblaster. Also added the Coldzero custom PSU shroud which I had to further customize sawing out some corners as even thin cables are dangerously squeezed since the shroud fits really tight. What I found a bit unfortunate is that there is hardly any space for cables that run outside of the dedicated cable funnel, e.g. horizontally. Apart from the cosmetic aspect which can be halfway tackled by using a lot of straps the glass cover sits too tight to run cables from left to the right across the case. I managed to put it on but it would need considerable effort and probably additional material, i.e. extensions, etc. to really do it properly. Apart from that I was pretty happy with the case and everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrnaCom Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 look good dude.. what next? Good question... for now no big plans. Waiting for the GPU market getting back to reason primarily. Also, the CPU is a special delidded CPU with specific heat spreader optimized for OC up to 5 GHz. However, I need some education first how to utilize the potential without blowing up my rig ;) I also have some thoughts about cannibalizing my old case and see what could be done with that but since there is limited time and actually no real need I will probably spend some time educating myself in CPU overclocking and for the future maybe "how to approach" custom watercooling.
