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. 👍

I agree. Those cables would look very good indeed.

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

wow server ate my edited post... a second time smh.

Ok I am sticking with the cablemod sleeved cables that they made for ASUS for the PSU, the combs asus included from cablemod are the classics and not compatible with how they have their 24pin wired. So bought a set of cablemod pro combs. Just tired of ripping pc's apart. I would have to really open it up to put those cables in.

So I double checked the correction bracket, redid the tim with this new ASUS Ryujin III 360 AIO, I had to take it off after the first tim, because a screw got lodged under the AIO. The AIO is ok but it is no EK Nucleus Lux 360 not by a long shot.
Here is from intial idle to Cyberpunk 2077 DLAA+RT OD"PT"+FG everything set to psycho/max

Here is 3DMark Time Spy


Here is letting it really sit at full idle to cool after being pushed.


Here is Cyberpunk 2077 before RT OD was a thing, 12 other games and 3DMark Time Spy on the EK Nucleus Lux in my Lian Li Dynamic 011 EVO case over six hours. True idle and the max the cpu hit. It is not a fluke even 3DMark reported a super low temp for my cpu package from stock to 6.1ghz.


I have also noticed Armorycrate while awesome when all your products are asus that leads to zero conflicts and the app working correctly. I have noticed the ARGB control for it locks my CPU in at 5.5ghz at 1.28-138 Vcore, the cpu is no longer able to manage itself properly, 5.8ghz is a unicorn clock to show up that hardly happens when ARGB is on, package temp goes up by 8-15c. It's like the cpu can no longer fully control itself with ASUS's ARGB suit running controlling everything.

While I love my EK Elite 360 there is the rule of cool, and the ASUS Ryujin III 360 ARGB cools good enough not to thermal throttle a 13900k at stock while looking awesome in my case. Asetek really needs to step up their game honestly... EK is slaughtering them and everyone else in AIO cooling performance market with their proprietary designs from their actual water cooling pumps/kits.

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.

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...

donta1979, you certainly have achieved your goal, and then some .  Your setup is fantastic, but it had to be allot of work,
so now you deserve a break :)  Everyone must save some energy, and money, for the new intel 15th gen processors
that will need new motherboards with the latest LGA-1851 chipsets, and for the new cards you mentioned .
I might even buy a 14th gen. 14900K even though the reviewers don't like it because it is barely faster than a 13900K .
Right now I have a 12900K, so it would be an upgrade for me and max out my gigabyte machine .
I like your idea about the fan cover, I wonder if a custom car painting shop could do it if you gave them some drawings,
or pictures to work from ?  I assume it can be removed .  Re. CDPR; they seem to have allot of issues with Cyberpunk .
Not to be too critical though, I like it, it runs pretty good if I let GOG galaxy install it, but I have to use the default
motherboard settings, as sajin has suggested, for it to be stable .
Happy gaming, and happy halloween .
 
Too The Moon !
