Hey Guys,

 

I just finished putting together my new PC, I ended up replacing my aging i5 2320 system with a RYZEN 1600.

I opted for the 1600 because it was cheaper and I could always upgrade to a 1700x or 1800x  later if needed.

Also due to the high cost of GPU i'm reusing my GTX 980, it still works so no big deal there.

 

Also used Grizzly Liquid Metal on the CPU, later I will be re-pasting the GPU and the chipset heatsync (it gets to 60 Degrees (Celsius), and i want to see if i can drop the temps due to in being almost 40 degrees hotter then any other temperature on the PC)

 

Overall I love this case and the AIO is spectacular, never exceeds 60 Degrees (Celsius) under full load with AIDA64 and fans on silent.

Also sorry about the pictures, My Note 8 takes either decent pictures or absolutely terrible pictures, and the 20MB upload restriction is a pain, i am going to be adding more to this thread, did allot of recording to still go thru....My roommate is captain shaky CAM.

GPU---------------GTX 980 Reference

SDD---------------SanDisk 128GB SSD---(I have a 960EVO but ended up using it in my laptop instead)

I ended up running the AIO, RGB and the Back fan wires through the heat-sync, ended up looking really neat and tidy.
