Hey everyone,
I am new to the forums today after I just finished my first build. Decided to try something different for the pc so I chose the Gamer Storm Quadstellar. Overall was a little tricky to build in but was not a horrible experience. The case is very well manufactured and I have no complaints with quality. The biggest issues are cable management since the quadrants do run tight to the back of the mobo and fitting a 360mm radiator.
Here are the components used in the build:
Gamerstorm Quadstellar case (case does not breathe well so I leave glass panels off during gaming)
9 Thermaltake riing plus fans
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus master mobo
Corsair rgb vengeance 3000hz ram 32gb total
i9 9900k
Gigabyte rtx2080ti waterforce extreme wb
Thermaltake d5 pump
Thermaltake c360 radiator and xspc 240mm thin radiator
Thermaltake pacific cpu water block
Intel 660P m.2 2280 1TB SSD
WD 500GB HD (Left over part from old computer that had windows)
ThermalTake Toughpower iRGB 1050 Watt Modular PSU
Mayhems Clear UV Blue Coolant
Nanoxia UV LED Strips
Thermaltake Pacific fittings
2 Thermaltake TT Sync Controllers
 
Ran into a couple other snags along the way. Normally was going to run the thermaltake CL360 Radiator but it just would not fit. Swapped out for just the C360. Also first GPU the LED lights would not work so had to send back for a replacement. During this time I also changed the water tubing going to the GPU. Hope you enjoy the build! If you have any suggestions please let me know. I am a complete novice in all of this so advice is greatly appreciated.

People like to run low temps, but don't be scared.  Intel knows what they are doing and know some of these are going to be used in incredibly harsh environments.  Honestly your CPU could probablyr un bouncing off the 100c thermal limit for years...that is why there is a thermal limit.  Anything under that is what the manufacture specs as "safe".
 
That said, hitting the 90s with stress tests like Prime shouldn't scare you.  Hitting 90s regularly in your typical use case would give me pause.
