Show us your gaming rig

Jeepers, that really is an amazing looking machine. A well made custom loop with good lighting just does a machine justice more than RGB will ever do.

ps, what did you do with your old parts? :fencelook:

Thanks man. This custom loop was pretty difficult to do in terms of bends compared to the last one I did that's for sure, I used a wire coat hangar to basically make a jig for where the bends need to be and then tried my best to match it, With everything being out of stock at the moment there was no room for errors with the pipes.

I have sold most of the stuff, I still have the AIO for the threadripper, and I have a whole other pc that I am selling, an old I7 4770k with 32gig ram but its a complete system with the white corsair Carbide 540 case. No GPU though.

Earlier this year, I got back from holiday, switched on my pc and was met with a no post, try as I might I was unable to fix it. That was my old threadripper. It was time for a new pc and a new case and water loop.

CPU: Intel I9 13900k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Master Z790
Ram: 32Gb 6400Mhz G.Skill RGB
GPU: RTX 3090
Storage: Multiple Samsung NVME drives and a 10Tb HDD
Keyboard: Logitech Craft wireless backlit
Mouse: R.A.T. DWS Wireless
Screen: LG Oled CS 55" running 4k @ 120Hz with G-sync

Onto the water loop.
2x 360mm x 60mm Radiators (Sprayed white)
1x 360mm x 30mm Radiator (Sprayed white)
D5 Pump with Bitski Cylindrical res
Bitski white fittings, corner fittings I sprayed white
EKWB Cpu water block
EKWB Full cover water block for the 3090
10x Phanteks 120mm white RGB fans

Reason I went so extreme on the water cooling is this 13900K runs really hot, mix that with a 3090 and only 1x 360mm x 30mm Radiator and it was a useless combo, the cpu would hit 95 - 100c as soon as I ran cinebench R23 benchmark. now it sits in the high 60's and low 70's during a benchmark which is incredible for a 13900k.

Cinebench R23 scores: 40700 - 42100 (Depending on how much stuff is running in the background). Really decent scores. More than double what my old Threadripper was getting.

Gaming the 3090 sits in the 30's - 40's at 4k all settings maxed. With the previous cooling loop with this CPU it was hitting upper 70's and low 80's. this loop made a massive difference.

Case: Phanteks NV7

Un-fucking-believable setup...

I'm still gaming on my near decade old PC and PS4, everytime I see what 40x0 series cards alone cost I cry.

Wow that looks absolutely amazing bud!

I love how people are still able to be like "my pc broke... meh... I'll go his weekend and spend R40k to build a new one.

Amazing build bud. I'd sell my left nut for a setup like that.

haha, it may have sounded that way from my post but I spent many many days trying to fix that pc. The last thing I wanted to do was drop this much cash on a new pc especially now.

In all honesty at the same time I am now in game design and work primarily in Unreal engine 5, Creating environments. The Threadripper 1950x is absolutely terrible when it comes to gaming performance even when paired with a 3090. In fact that AMD setup put me off AMD for now. I find intel to be overall allot more stable. I also don't get the annoying USB issues where USB keeps switching off a device momentarily or telling me USB device failed, or USB Device not detected. It was very annoying. Also I am very much over ASUS, their motherboards are full of issues, the drivers and software are horrible to install, Don't even get me started on their "armoury Crate Software" and the software is very slow!!! I went through 3 different ASUS boards with this new intel I9 and non one of them could run X.M.P profiles with the DDR 5 memory and I had tons of other issues. Once I switched to the gigabyte Aorus Master, it was just flawless smooth sailing. Not to mention the ASUS Zenith Extreme motherboard I had for the Threadripper was an RMA replacement. The first one....One of the chips in the middle of the board popped and a small flame followed by a puff of smoke happened on first start up. (Apparently it had happened to allot of people when I did some research into the matter).
