Finished Aorus Master 9900k build

[X-Mikuru_Beam-X]

I know it’s not in the same league as all those high end custom loop builds ya’ll used to seeing, but hopefull you think I did a neat job! (I has to stuff 8 SSD’s in the back which took some doing!)!

I use this mainly for Battlefield games and it has been the single best upgrade (from my trusty 4770k) I’ve done in years. The frostbite engine takes full advantage of my 9900k, and where I was seeing my 4770k struggling at 100% during 64 player matches, this one is cuts through the action with ease!

I’m seeing *far* greater minimum FPS (which was my main reason for the build) and a MUCH smoother experience regardless of how intense the action gets! Highly recommended for multiplayer gamers.

Lovely clean build mate. I’d be tempted to route those cables through the shroud if you can, but it looks great.

This might better belong in the Project Logs sub-forum; I’ve RTM’d for you, just in case.

This is pretty much identical to what I'm considering buying (although I'm waiting to see if AMD announce or release the Ryzen 3000 at CES in January).

How are you liking the monitor?

It's going to be my first decent monitor (currently rocking a Dell Ultrasharp U2312hm) but I'm a bit worried about the reports of horrible backlight bleed.
