This is a personal project which I intend to use as a light gaming and working from home rig. The Project is heavily inspired by Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen CRYSTAL 570X Mod (check it out if you haven't!!) and the courage/inspiration to take on this project is the result of watching many of my favorite youtuber like JayzTwoCents, linus tech tips and GN.
This is my first build with a costume lope. And I plan on focusing on a very clean looking tubing and a sleek industrial interior. This project is named Steelix as a homage to Luke by using a pokemon name for my personal rig.
This project will consist of the following hardware:
CPU: AMD 2600X
CPU cooler: Barrow
Motherboard: Asus Rog strixs B450-F
GPU: Msi Vega 56
GPU block : EK-FC Radeon Vega Rbg
PSU: Corsair RM750x 750w
SSD m.2: Samsung 970 Evo 250gb
SSD; Samsung 860 Evo 500gb
SSD: OCZ ARC100 240GB
RAM: HyperX 16GB DDR4 3200mhz
Chassis: Corsair Crystal 570X
Fans : 6* Corsair ML120 Pro RBG
Radiator: Alphacool NexXxos ST30 Full Copper 360
Fittings : Barrows
Tube: chromed copper pipe 12/10 mm
Pump: EK – Xtop revo D5 Pwm
The mods that will happen:
Modify the case to support a new mounting position for the radiator, and making a costume loop.
Disclaimers:
I now the build is not going to be optimal in case of thermals and performance.
Not everything is going to be perfect I won’t spend a lot of time on the part you won’t see, parts of the cable management for example
with that said let's start this build !
