Currently awaiting delivery of an EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080. 
 
Built a new shelf for it. Once GPU arrives I will see where I messed up with one of the CLC fan connections and clean the wiring up. Until then, here are some pics...

    Welcome to the Z490 party  
     
    Out of curiosity, why didn't you just spend the few extra bucks and grab a 10850K? Nothing wrong with a 10700K but the difference is pretty small for 2 more cores.

    Actually a couple of things...
    • The idea is the next round of CPU's. I plan to get an upgrade down the road. (Came from the X79 Dark and a 3930K)
    • At the time, the difference was about $150-175, cost benefit just did not align for me (When I already planned the thought above).
    • This system will run circles around anything I ask it to do for now (Will also run 24/7 crunching).

    Oh I'm planning on grabbing a Rocket Lake CPU too, but it seems you have a little more self control than I do, so well played 



    Yeah, like I said a 10700K is a great CPU as it's basically a 9900K and that's also still perfectly good for anything you could ask of it for gaming.

    A very nice build Afterburner! I like several things about the case, one is the way it shows off your PSU. And the upper shelf and brackets, looks cool, IMO. +1

    This is a really nice, clean setup. The blue makes it look cool, temperature wise.

    Awesome build.😍 who placed you in the corner of the room now🤷😹😹.
    Temps are great.

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
