Hi everyone! Hopefully this post goes through as my last on mysteriously decided to no post!
This is my benching/testing/daily rig. It constantly sees changes in hardware though the same framework as been in use for about a decade now.
In a few of the pictures you will see a variety of motherboards, they just so happened to be in the rig when the pic was taken but stay true to how it looks.
Components:
Case: Mountain Mods Extended Ascension
Rads: 4x HWLabs gtx 360 (push/pull fans)
Fans: 26 Delta pwm's (1200-3200rpm)
Pumps: 2x mcp35x2's (Dual loop, GPU and CPU)
CPUs: 5950x or 12900k or 12900ks (for the moment)
Motherboards: Asus x570 Crosshair viii extreme or Asus x570 dark hero or Asus z690 apex or Asus strix D4 z690 or Msi x570 ace (yeah, that saw very little time). Hopefully I get the notify soon to grab a z690 dark so I can throw that in and test some ddr5 overclocking with it. Would be fun to see how it compares to the Apex.
GPU: Asus strix 3090 volt modded with evc
Ram: 2x16 ddr4 @ 4233 cl 14 (z690), 2x16 ddr4 4000 cl 14 (x570), 2x16 ddr5 @ 6400cl28 1T
PSUs: Corsair ax1600i(for components), Thermaltake 1375w(for fans, pumps and aux).
GPU, CPU and RAM all watercooled
GPU has a 6dimm waterblock attached to the backplate for cram cooling (tapped and screwed it on). Was way before anyone decided to release backside blocks (and a heck of a lot cheaper) and performs just as well.
The case is setup to have a horizontal motherboard tray for ease of component changes. All lines are connected using quick disconnects for the same reason.
The bottom of the case houses the rads and the spaghetti of cables.
It is quite heavy as you can imagine, so wheels are attached to the bottom to make it easier to scoot around when I need to make changes.
Please ignore the dusty filter and tubs hanging all over the place lol. Filter is made out of screen door material folded over itself.
Some pics:
Voltage readout from the strix (what the meters in the previous image read)
Bottom of case, where the rads live:
Cheers everyone and thanks for looking! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
