Hey guys,
 
I put together my new build the other day and I took some pictures. Here's the story:
 
I started out with a VERY dusty build (Yeah I neglected it, temps were still super low though so whatever).

 
After cleaning out the case I was left with this, a bone stock Corsair 550D that I had purchased from an NCIX Warehouse sale many years ago.

 
Here's the new parts I'd be putting in

 
I know that the 9900KS and 2080 Super are both controversial since they're mediocre entries into their respective segments, but, objectively they are outstanding for 1440p 144hz gaming and that's basically all I do besides the other everyday computing stuff.
 
I had decided to reuse my NH-D14 from 2012 and updated the fans on it so that they were both 4-pin. Reattaching the clips to the new fans was super difficult and took a ton of force to work, but it ended up working out.

 
I'm certainly no cable management wizard, but here's what I managed to do with all the parts in. I ended up having to plug another PCI power cable in since just having the one split into an 8-pin and 6-pin was not supplying my card with enough power and was diminishing performance.

 
Here's how it look with the case all closed up and how my setup looks. Temps are pretty good. The CPU runs at about 70-80 degrees during gaming and the 2080S runs at about 65 degrees. I've never owned a computer that runs as silent as this one does at idle, it's astonishing.

 
Here's the full list of parts in this build.
 
Thanks for reading!

Adblock is good, but be sure to turn it off when watching a video from Linus!

I really have no idea what BCLK means... Hahah, base clock? If that's what it means then Im not sure.

Im using a Noctua NH-D14. I was able to upvolt to 1.4v and I still couldn't go higher than 4.2GHz. It was VERY unstable. Im currently just using OC Genie on my GD45

If it $5 more then go for it. No harm in upping performance.

What do you guys think? I think AMD won because of how well the 7970 out performs the NVIDIA counterpart.

what about the unboxing. how was the quality of the closed foam packaging?

5.9. Mechanical HDD FTW! XD Im gonna be picking up an SSD very soon, don't worry.

If it's going to be a workstation, go with 2011 or an 8 core AMD processor.

I want to see a 790 that beats a 690 by a good margin. I always enjoy extreme cards.

Firstly, RAID 0 with SSD's isn't always the best idea.

We're back to the problem of efficiency not always reflecting good quality.
