Chase your dream mate
You had no sponsors at the beginning
Now look where you are

If you can find someone
Who can give you more of a youtube presence
Preferably for free at least to start with
I still think it would promote you even more
And lead to more good things

Pretty crazy huh, i think its pretty nuts just thinking about it sometimes.

What i've built here with Minibotpc.com

Seriously one of the nicest guys i've spoke to, genuine and all round a really kind human. Can't thank Kingston enough for the support.

Photo drop incoming!!!
 
Quick drop of photos, board, fans and memory debut right here. Temporary 12700K in there while i wait for the replacement 13700K to arrive. Long story short i received a dud 13700K.

Kingston our new collab has sent us a set of DDR5 6400mhz 64gb CL32 2 dimm kit! Can't wait to test it properly when the new cpu arrives, lovely set of SK Hynix set so should be a monster clocker too.


Bitspower is busy with Computex right now but we're in the middle of confirming watercooling components for this build :D


And yes no RGB with this build, just pure class!

I completed an Air build for this chassis and it came out surprisingly good! This isn't the final build but rather a test setup to get a feel for where everything should go as mentioned previously.

Most importantly.. everything works and we get a post! Windows installed and ready to go.

Just my personal taste
But the rainbow coloured "game on "
And rog strix really don't look good with rest of the build
Of course I may have lousy taste lol
Or none at all :cry:

Tbh i wish it wasn't there too lol, might 3D print something to go over that and use longer screws. We'll see, i got time to mess about with this build :D

How about black carbon effect vinyl?
I used some when my led strips were visible
In my peripheral vision
Because the black border on the glass panel
Was too narrow
Now I only see the spread light not the actual leds
Was 5 quid off amazon
I got car door sill vinyl strips
Only a few inches wide no messing around with full
Sheets of vinyl

Think some forged carbon vinyl would look brilliant on this, breaks up the board abit too without being intrusive and out of place.

More research to do this week then :D

Vinyl should also be quicker to try
Than 3d printing something
Though it's still good you have the capability to
3d print something as a back up plan

See sometimes I actually do have some good ideas :cry:
 
Funnily enough, it's actually those gold capacitors for the audio that are setting me teeth off :D

Personally, I'd get a heat gun and gently waft over those rainbow stickers and remove them completely. If there's an obvious depression left then a sliver of 0.5mm aluminium is easy to cut with a sharp knife, match the shape and stick them in. Vinyl wrap is a pig to get clean edges on fiddly small bits like that.

Or just mask everything off and slap some paint over the rainbows.

Been looking at a mini distro for this too but since its only the cpu getting cooled it's kinda pointless :cry:.

I've been running some benchmarks on the gpu and its so quiet, there really isn't any need to watercool it at all.

Yes sir, you do sir! :D

The gold caps are well hidden when its all built up :cry:, can't say the same when a waterblock is on the board though. Really twitching to get my hands on Bitspower's new products!

Don't really want to damage the sticker tbh, will affect resale value if i do! If it was a freebie i wouldn't care so much but some good hard earned bucks in there so need to becareful :cry:.
 
if its stickers maybe vinyl wont do after all
removing the vinyl may remove
the asus stickers too
unless its possible to leave backing paper on
the vinyl where asus stickers are
and still get the vinyl flat looking

Will have a play, ordered some off amazon to play about with. I have a mate who wraps cars for a living so maybe i'll give him the heatsink to do :D

thats handy
wonder if theres something else to prevent vinyl
from sticking to asus label
little dab of grease or something maybe?
though guess it might dry out but not sure if it dries
will that part of vinyl "blow"
guess your mate will know though
