Lookin good. 😎

I'm just glad it's about to a spot I can say it's about done... thinking of the cablemod Pro carbon cables but only want their 24pin and 2x cpu cables. I do not want the pcie's/molex/sata cables.

Those cables would look nice for sure. 👍

yeah the thing is the psu already came with individually sleeved cables just need the right combs, I do a gree the Cablemod ones would look so much better in it.



Temps are not horribly bad but not as good as they used to be. I May try Kryonaut Extreme on the AIO. It's no Nucleus Lux, but looks cooler haha.

I was just DMed today by someone from ASUS USA. Apparently they will feature my pc at some point on their live FB feed. Starting to think Secretlab went on vacation lol

Well finally found the Cyberpunk 2077 controller stand/charger for my cyberpunk 2077 controller. Got it NIB not at the scalper price of 200-300.

donta1979, you are becomming world famous .
 
P.S. The new case looks great !

I just wanted to play Cyberpunk with RT at the start. That turned into a theme, the game getting it's tech upgraded, so me upgrading, to the theme mutating to my office. Just trying to get all the performance I can in Cyberpunk 2077 with all of its new visual tech while looking cool. I do not have it in me to take it apart again swap out the cables, do custom art on the case. Looks like it fits and belongs in my office without me doing a thing. I may get some EK FPT Link 140mm D-RGB fans for it later if Noctua fails in the argb fan partnership with asus. I would like to find a place that can do a custom art inner plate for the ARGB that covers the 3x 120mm fan slot by the board. Loving the build, sadly CDPR's latest update 2.02 may have fixed some issues, but DLAA with RT OD I lost over 20 fps and gained about 10 on my latency... Am thinking it's one of two things, they messed up because hardly anyone can run the game at my settings smoothly, or they are working with nvidia again for newer cards coming in a year...

Thing with 14th gen is this, you can get a huge boost in performance with a gen II features on lower end hardware through its AI assistance. Or if you have all top end hardware the 14th gen cpu and ram and you are chasing synthetic benchmarks you will get a huge boost in performance with the assistance of AI faster than what a human alone can do and on the fly. It's how those records are being broken right now on cpu and ram speeds. Then there is using it to help manage your core clocks with the voltage and temps. If you already have a 12th or 13th gen already dialed in/configured for optimal performance and are just gaming to doing basic benches, already have awesome temps 14th gen is a little lack luster.
Then a gen II boards have an extra chip to let you micromanage the PCIE lane bandwidth if you have a bunch of M.2's manually setting what drive gets X amount of the pcie bandwidth.
The reviewers did an abysmal job even GN, was like plop the 14th gen in this gen I z790 or Gen II z790 while not touching a thing and saying it sucks yet we didn't use this hardware or its features if we actually used a gen II board to its full potential. Also the AIO's some plopped on 14th gen was comical pre 2021 AIO's that got beat by others back then being used on 14th gen.... You really want one of the EK Nucleus's or one of the asetek gen 8's even though the asetek gen 8's are not as good as EK's, the gen 8's are close enough for gaming and running something simple like 3DMark.

On 12th gen ideal ram speed since all you can really get on ddr5 is up to 6000-6400mhz on average with a CL30 or higher. Is using DDR4 4000mhz CL14-16 B-die out of the box since on a 12th gen K cpu it will run that ram/imc in gear 1 its even closer to the performance of ddr5 7200mhz cl34 on a 13th gen than a 12th gen running one of the ddr5 kits I described. It's all about those 1% fps lows if you want to run Cyberpunk 2077 like I do it's the difference between micro stutters dipping blow 60 fps or not getting them and keeping above 60fps. Also your frame time going so high its horrible or not. If you can keep it at 9-16 you are good. Once you dip below 60 fps in cyberpunk 2077 at my settings frame time fly's up to the mid to high 20's ruining the whole gaming experience on top of the micro stutters. 
Happy Halloween to you too.

donta1979, thanks for the clues .  I wanted to give your post the helpful info marker,
but forgot how .  So, I'll just say thanks :)
 
P.S.  I did order the 14900K, just arrived today .  Now I've got to cool it ...
 
Too The Moon !
 

NP, GL enjoy the build. Kind of sad seeing the forums to the discord fade away like EVGA....

Thank you donta1979, and Gold Leader .  I like the EVGA forum, and will continue to use it as long as it's around .
I hope everyone else here does too 
I have done my 14900K cpu upgrade, and posted some stuff about it on my New Computer thread if you care to see it .
Happy holidays, and keep on computing, gents. :)
 
Too The Moon !
 
 

Looking forward to that, and a good PCIe gen. 5 vid card too .
Happy gaming !
 
Too The Moon !
 
 

rjohnson11, Look at the end of my "New Computer ... " thread .
Bad angle, but at least in focus ;)
 
Too The Moon !

You built this for me.... right?

No LMAO go build your own!

Love teh design & build, great work !

wow image links broken now...

Idle/normal use/Gaming the Honeywell PTM7950 pad on my ASUS Rog Ryujin III 360 RGB AIO, these temps would not be possible without the correction bracket and thermal pad. Ambient temps range from 76 to just under 80F depending on the time of day and if the AC is going or not. Was running so much hotter on paste all the top ones...
