Project Lightning

[karolll95]

Hi

 

We're starting new project, that we decided to call Project Lightning. 

 

Why Lightning? Because the assumption is that the design should be refined, but the possibility of obtaining different colors and lighting effects is welcomed, so there will be a lot of it, but we will try to do it with taste, which will certainly be a challenge 

 

At the very beginning we would like to thank our sponsors for that project

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, we begin with the heart - CPU. Yet again we decided to go with unstoppable AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3970X.

PC will be used mainly for graphic designing and rendering, so it will make use of that 32 cores and 64 threads

 

 

 

 

And at the end, a little teaser for next post, the motherboard...

Now THATs a CPU!

Hi,

 

Thanks guys!

 

Like we promised in a previous update, this time we're show You the motherboard

 

To let that 32 core monster fly, we need a serious motherboard. And surely we have one!

 

Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme

Hi

 

Let's move to next part for Project Lightning! This is very important component of every PC, which often is treated neglectfully. And it shouldn't, if You want Your components to get stable power all the time

 

Here we decided to go with the obvious choice:

 

Corsair AX1600i

 

It is the ultimate digital ATX power supply, built using only the best components and state-of-the-art gallium nitride transistors to deliver more than 94% efficiency.

Hi,

This time we'll show You some of the storage that will be used in our project

 

Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD 2TB

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And at the end some teaser, who knows what case is it?

 

[karolll95]

Hi!

 

 

We've received a mysterious package from Taiwan

 

 

Lets see what's inside

Hi,

Some of You might have guessed what case is it, others probably thought about very similar one, nevertheless here I present a skeleton for Project Lightning! ️

Hi,

We're pushing forward with Project Lightning! ️

 

This time, we've made use of magnetic stickers, that Corsair supplies with AX1600i. Great thing! Previously we used to design and made custom stickers, now it's a lot faster and easier!

Hi!

 

A small update on Project Lightning ️

 

You've seen our choice in terms of M.2 SSDs, now it's time for SATA

[karolll95]

Hi!

Here You go with few more shots of our gorgeous memory from TeamGroup

Hi,

Back to Project Lightning! ️

 

As we're using Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme as a motherboard, we also decided to use this beauty

Hi,

Now You can see what cable design will be used in Project Lightning ️

 

As always, we're using MDPC-X sleeving, this time Liquid Carbon and Black with aluminum combs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[karolll95]

Hi!
