  1. This a watercooled UV-mod I have worked on. Case is Lian-Li PC-011 ROG edition Radiators and most water cooling components are from Barrow. EK CPU block and reservoir Cablemod nvidia green cables Zotac 2080ti, 9700k. Aquacomputer QUADRO fan controller. All fans are automatic and are mostly off during idle. Pump is at a constant 45%. Fans are NOISEBLOCKER NB-eLoop. I painted them myself with UV reactive paint. I bought them because the fan blades were easy to detach, recommended. I have the air intake in the top in an attempt to reduce dust. I think it's working, and I certainly have no temperature issues. Camera makes it look like there is static blue light in the case, but it's not visible with my puny human eyes.
  2. I have Nanoxia Rigid UV. They light up better than my old 30cm kathode. Connects to a normal fan header. Picture of my case: https://imgur.com/gallery/OEg0VzE
  3. Cablemod looks great, but I am skeptical about the UV-reactiveness. Was hoping someone with a green cable kit could post a picture. If all they do is confirm that it's not possible then at least I know. That's one hell of a calbe, andrewmp6.
  4. Like 15 years ago I bought a couple of Vantec cable sleeving kits. I still have some of the sleeves and they light up like crazy (if anyone have any idea what I am talking about)
  5. UV has been out of fashion for a long time and I find it hard to find good UV reactive components. I am looking to buy a new PSU, most likely Corsair or Seasonic. I want to also be able to buy a UV reactive cable kit for it, preferably orange or green. I have found a few sites that offer this, but I want to hear and preferably see a picture from someone with first hand experience? I have already gotten burnt in the past on buying "UV" cables that turn out to be not UV reactive at all or at best very faint. Cheers.
  6. Yes, "Super" should have been Ti, and they should have skipped Ti on the original release. With the specs listed I am not expecting a very high performance boost, maybe 5-10%, and a price drop on the original 2080ti of maybe a 100$. Release date of the 2080 ti super was also going to be later than the others, so you may have to wait a month or two. Both waiting and buying now seem like valid options.
  7. Show me one then. Anandtech still uses a 1080 (non ti) for their test bench. And did anyone claim that bottlenecking isn't task dependent and that you should not have cost balanced system? Having benchmarks as a reference when making decisions is key. I'm not going to buy a 1200$ CPU to match just so the price is balanced.
  8. Been looking around, but I have not found any benchmarks like this. What I want is a benchmark comparing gaming performance of 1-5 year old CPUs with the new high end cards. I imagine there must be a demand for this for people who are on the fence about buying a new craphics card, but are wondering if their CPU will bottleneck them. I do find forum posts of people asking and people giving answers, but without any real data to back up their claims. And if no one has made a proper benchmark like this then I would urge someone to do so.
  9. Unless something has happened in the past couple of weeks with drivers to bring 2080's performance up, then I see no reason to buy it over a 1080ti. The price difference I am currently looking at is well over a 100$.
  10. This seriously one of the best mods I've seen, amazing! (Lobster's mod also nice) One question: I see the front panel is black, but when I look at official pictures of the PC-O11WGX case it's always silver, but I can't find any extra letters or anything distinguishing the different models. Any ideas?
