Surprised there isnt a sticky note in the GF for new members to post and introduce themselves. If there is I didnt see it, or at least one that was recently active. Names Ed. Big into RPG and 4X games both tabletop and PC. Favorite tabletop RPG: Savage Rifts hence my name (for those of you in the know) Favorite PC RPG: Fallout 4 Favorite tabletop Other: Axis & Allies Favorite(s) PC 4X: Stellaris, Vic2, HOI4, MOO4 Just built my first water-cooled rig. Draining after running deionized water, biocide, and a touch of purple die for 2 weeks and refilling with Purple UV Reactant coolant this weekend. My Rig: Phanteks 719 case I9-9900k 5700xt with Bkyski waterblock Aorus z390 Ultra or Elite (cant remember) Wifi 32gb Patriot 3600mhz non rgb EVGA 1050w iRGB 32" 1440 165hz GB curved monitor 2x Viewsonic 24" (Rig also is my work station - I am an IT Recruiter) twin 360mm rads with EKWB pump all hardline tubing Projects planned: 1. Want to add a 3080ti water-cooled card when available. 2. Add Virtual Machine to run retro games off of. 3. Add an outboard interface with AI64 to display live stats. 4. Planning on getting the glass laser etched this month with something from both Fallout and Rifts in the lower corners, a small TARDIS in the upper left, and tie fighter battle with an xwing in the upper right, maybe an Enterprise D thrown in for good blasphemy.

Wow, the lighting/watercooling in that looks great! I'm jealous that you're so into 4X's....I struggle to maintain interest in them even though I really want to. :(

Thanks Everyone!
Looking forward to contributing more. Pictures dont show it well, but I painted the rads and some of the fan a sort of weathered titanium color.
Also will be replacing the LEDs on the Bkyski waterblock. They didnt work out of the box. Was also thinging of having a vinyl stick printed to add some graphics to the block.

True story, I was also wondering whether half of these fans have a purpose or if it's just for the cool looks! Nothing wrong with that in any case.

always heard that if you keep your rig elevated it reduces the dust intake. Put it high on a desk

Does that really work? My new place is much dustier than before, which made me build dust filters at intake but why would placing it higher work too?
Edit: nice PC OP! Looks dope.

Your rig looks awesome. I am personally terrified of water-cooling. Maybe rubber tubbing seems less scary, but still...

Hey Ed, welcome to the forums! Very nice looking rig, much better than mine.  Like z99z3mystory posted, there is a thread up top for new members. Hope you stick around. Also for your build, there is a section called Mods Rigs. It can be temperamental trying to post pics, but if you make a profile it will show under your avatar. Then users can just click on that. It's in the hardware and software section below. MODS RIGS - EVGA Forums
