Gonna be a beast this! EPYC!

Case/rads/fans/res has arrived at my mum and dads!

Also bought the front mesh panel so will be mounting 3x140 intake in the front. The case will be sitting sideways on a shelf above my monitor so the front glass panel would be a little redundant anyway and as it's also in an alcove there's no real line of sight on the front.

sounds like a nice build. Will you be using ZMT tubing ?

VRDoctor · 19 Mar 2024 at 15:11

Nope - already have a roll of transparent XSPC 16/11 I'm going to use - reusing all my old fittings as well (XSPC black chrome compressions and rotaries etc)

Nice. Always handy to have fittings to reuse.

Beastly build with added floofs = winning!

VRDoctor · 22 Mar 2024 at 13:11

Well my log just turned into a build - I always do this and forget to take photos!

Front mesh panel should be here today and I'll take some more photos when we don't have and intense sun creating all the reflection!

Case was an absolute dream to build into.

Do you need the mesh panel (temp-wise)?
Looks incredible as-is!

You know, after testing I don't need the mesh panel - temps are great. I didn't realise I would be able to fit two intake fans behind the res so that handles air intake. I'll pop the mesh panel on ebay

I'll post another pic update next week once I've sorted the block rgb and added more coolant. Removed the corner brace as well - looks amazing!

Hi 60s stock, high 70's OC's (420watts).

Used my 3d printer to add some RGB to the block as it was looking a bit dark - happy with how it came out

P.S the water you can here is the cat fountain, not the PC!
