So a week or so ago I finished a new build. Nice specs, top end equipment.
Asus X670E crosshair extreme mobo
7900X CPU (temp cpu while waiting on the X3D chips)
64 GB Skill 6000mhz DDR5 Ram in 2 dimms.
2x 850x 2tb NVME drives
Asus 4090 TUF
Corsair Axi1600 PSU
Lian Li OD11 XL
EKWB Quantum distro plate
EK Quantum CPU block
EK Quantum GPU block
EK Quantum ABP
3x Quantum 360 Radiators
10x Be Quiet Single wings 4 pro fans
EK quantum fittings throughout
As of today, the following is being RMAed.
Motherboard - Faulty VRM. Confirmed by Asus.
GPU - Intolerable coil while. Can be heard in another room when its really singing.
Quantum distro plate - The D5 pump has a high pitched squeal at 30-60% duty cycle that actually gives me a headache after 15 or 20 minutes.
Various EK fittings - The finish on them seems "uncured" is the only way I can describe it, like its wet paint still while the rest has dried.
Various EK fittings - Machining faulty
1 fan (DOA)
Honestly, dropping so much money into a new rig and half of it having to go back is beyond annoying.
I will say and must stress OCUK have been absolute superstars throughout. No fuss with raising the RMAs to get things sent back, but now I'm without a new rig for probably another month while various bits are tested / sent for repair / replacement.
Rant over. I know. Cool story bro. First world problems
