Hi all.
Just finished building my first custom rig.
I built my first pc in college in 2001 and kept the xaser iii case changing just parts since then. I moved to a ps3 for gaming for a while then back to pc gaming on a 3xs 7970 laptop as I travel a lot for work and needed mobility. It's now changed for an Asus gl502vs.
Due to VR and sim racing I decided to get a new pc in October last year which I just sold tp a friend after having decided on a new case and cpu which morphed into a whole new water cooled build. I did start off with a Titan xp but when the ti came out I sent it in for a refund due to it basically being marginally slower for near double the money.
I am now in the process of looking at a couple of uv strips for the glass and tidying up the odd cable. It could also maybe do with a couple more thermaltake pacific rgb tubing fittings as the uv pastel white coolant does not transmit light well as i suspected but i like the look and also want some uv to bring out the white braided cables and fluid in the tubes / reservoir.
I'm sitting currently on a 5ghz cpu oc and the 1080ti is over 2ghz / 12ghz gpu / mem. The whole lot now needs a proper stress testing but I'm not sure what software to use as I've never properly oc'd before.
I did respray the case and the radiator with Ford frozen white and I clear coated with uv stable clear and added pearl pigments but due to Scottish weather it fogged a bit and i ended up sanding it back so I will re paint the sides and re clear coat them in the summer.
Any suggestions on a couple of nice uv strips for the top and bottom and what I can do to brighten up the psu a little? I did want a thermaltake rgb psu but good reviews dictated a seasonic one. I also braided all the cables.
Cheers for looking.
