Looks nice but not my cup of tea. Good job though!

 

I am not a huge fan of the individually sleeved wires with cable combs. I think it would look much better with conduit and fittings or full harness sleeve.

looks good, especially how clean and unasuming it is. Also, 6 cores and 12 threads for 15 euros is INSANE. How does the locked all core turbo cool in this sleeper? How is airflow?

going to change cooler soon, to something rgb and controlable, this deepcool beta 200 does fine job, cpu is only 85w and it don't go all that way, at 3.2ghz in gaming it's around 40-50watts in usage and doesn't go above 60c

Thats pretty solid. Im assuming the GPU stays cool as well? For my sleeper, the GPU gets way to hot and loud.

Nvidia FE cards are quite toasty, if i leave it at auto it will operate at 81c which is normal, however i keeping it at 60% fan speed and it's around 72c at most. Ive got quite good overclocker, that 1070 TI out of the box is like 5% slower than 1080, i managed to get +225mhz on core making it 2125mhz total and +750mhz on memory, gained like 14% of performance by doing that. In some games it's like 2060 super/2070 in terms of performance. Great considering i got it for 200eur barely used

Pretty good value for money.  Thats a great overclock, especially for a blower card.
