Update on build was wating on psu but was DOA so otherwise finished (bar setting aida64).

Very nice! It’s a regular EVO case right not the XL? Asking as I have an EK Lumen on order and planning to fit where you have yours. Cheers,Dan.

Its normal EVO but you have to modifiy the case otherwise you have to install it a little higher or use the standoffs for the LCD.

nice and clean @jammir, congrats for the build!

 

[0121danwilliams84]

@jammir Thanks for that info. I imagine it looks better with screw holes you made I am guessing? I am not that handy even though I have built custom loops, when I get drills out bad things usually happen!

you dont need to make new holes there is a bit of metal that sticks up that needs to be bent out of the way or cut off but this will stop you installing the vertical gpu bracket

Top class advice. I had to do something like that to fit an external rad in my H700 that is being retired. I know what the first thing I will be doing when the Lumen arrives now, desecrating the Evo it’s got to be done. Hopefully it’s easy to bend and doesn’t break off the rest of the case causing some apocalyptic event. Thanks for the pic as well.

Incredibly tidy build - could I ask what thickness radiators you've got? I think they're 45mm?

That's thicker than 45mm. It's the new EK XE Quantums at 58mm instead of 60mm Coolstream.

My first build here. The focus of the build was on simplicity and performance.

 

[Mr Mcgoo]

Think it's safe to say you nailed the simplicity aspect. Just wish my cable routing was as good as yours for sure

Liking the Bykski block. Waiting for one of those myself. I take it this is a 3000 series 3 pin PCIE card?

I like your style. I have an Aqua Computer Next as well and the same tubing. Looks beautiful, well done!

Absolutely stunning. Well done.

 

[Parsley]

Not lit up or anything as this was taken during the last flush.

Only just managed to cram the rads in, and it's so damn heavy now. But at least it's nice and quiet!

 

[0121danwilliams84]

Very close to finishing my AM5 build now! Still have the tubes to do and spot the missing space for a GPU, I think an RTX 4090 might fit quite nice and snug in there

Hey, just got around to installing the EK Lumen. Installed with the USB adapter to mobo that goes USB to USB type C into the Lumen. I get the EK logo but no display. Would I just be able to ask if that is how you have yours installed and if you may have any other advice? Have tried a few things in windows. It’s not recognised. Thanks! Edit: I didn't realise the other cable provides video, so an easy fix hopefully! The product page makes it sound like you just use one cable and the other HDMI to USB was for external use.

That is a lovely build. I haven’t see a GPU mounted that way before either. Is this customised or is a bracket for that mount available to buy?

o11 EVO has a bracket to mount on that side.

The usb is only for power and you have to use the hdmi for video I have a thunderbolt 4 to hdmi cable which I use for video.
