      The aio was free, i had a hyper 212 evo and it was not cooling the i9 13900k well enough. This is fine as long as I don’t oc the cpu. Hits 6.1ghz for the rated 10 mins until the timer hits. I can run it longer by going into the bios and setting it higher but i don’t notice any frame drops at 5.4ghz. Also also it looks way nicer hiding the motherboard looking cramped.

            Nice. I was surprised it fit, it was an i7 6700. It was toast. I kept the cpu, put it on a motherboard and no post. The motherboard was warped. But the 6tb hard drive worked too, it’s in the basement of the case.

      I never understood the issue with keeping your PC on the floor. Other than aesthetic reasons. Like sure if you get a thick carpet, maybe don't put it down there. Maybe there's an increased chance of spilled liquids finding their way on top of the PC?

          So don't put it on the floor with a half inch gap for ventilation, put it on your desk with a half inch gap for ventilation. Am I missing something here? I have a hardwood floor, what difference is there from my desk? Like I said before, if you got a thick ass carpet I get it, but you can just get a board and chuck it on that.

      Yeah I’m going to find an internal front usb header to power the lights and run the usb through the back and hide it. Going to scavenge it from another case. The lights are usb controlled led. I’m going to ditch the extra led fan and keep the white aesthetic. I don’t like the extra colors. Feels too much. I’m not seeing extra cooling from the extra fan and is bringing dust into the pc defeating the dust filters.

      I’ve always just bought prebuilts, added a gpu, installed vanilla windows etc. I’m not sure what’s more work but I’m more aware of what’s inside the pc. I went with a motherboard without wifi because wifi 7 is right around the corner and had wifi 6e hw already, just bought one of those adapter cards from amazon.

        wifi is fine if you don't play multiplayer games, or simply don't care about occasional ping spikes.

          Not op, just throwing my 2 cents in
          I play wow occasionally and i haven’t had WiFi issues since WiFi g was a thing. This isn’t 2009 anymore. WiFi 6e is better than most lan. If you’re seeing ping spikes, change your wifi channel in the router. I see around 8gigabits/s. Faster than 2.5gigabit lan actually. Wired isn’t automatically better anymore with the spike in phone sales etc.

            Speeds have nothing to do with latency past a certain bandwidth (idk, probably faster than old DSL). WoW isn't a twitch shooter where 40ms deviations can destroy your experience either. Yeah, wifi is usable and can be fine for most people, but not everyone.

              Wifi 7 will fix that. With a 16/16 mimo it’ll be on par with lan if not better.

                For the most part it did. If you’re running 1gigabit lan or lower, you would benefit greatly from WiFi 6e. It’s faster with less latency.

    Looks pretty good for a first attempt. My first PC had a shitty cheap case with no room for cable management, so I just had a huge blob of cable tied cables dangling behind the HDD caddys - hideous and awful for airflow.

    See if you can re-run some of your cables behind the motherboard tray, you may need extenders to make that possible. That case has decent cable management space so you shouldn't have any issues.

    Clean this up a bit, like windex and a towel clean it up
    Manage your cables better, your primarily fault here is what cutouts you’re using for what cables, your pcie cable should be coming up from the psu basement.
    Whatever you’re doing with the led strips here, hide it better or get rid of it.
    If you want the quick and dirty solution to making this look nicer, just get some psu cable extensions.
