Matte Black PC 2021

[ollyb23]

Hi All,

Been an avid viewer of LTT and other tech channels but always used Macs for all my stuff (PC's at work).

I decided that the hardware has been sub par lately so ventured into the PC space for a workstation (Adobe, Avid, Etc.)

Made the conscious choice to go anti RGB and I was surprised how easy it is event in 2021!

 

I had a budget of around AUD$4k (USD$3.1k, CAD$3.8k) for this one and didn't need any peripherals.

It is my first PC build and I surprised myself how much I read the manual

 

Specs:

ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 Mini-ITX Motherboard

Intel Core i9 10850K 10-Core 3.60GHz Unlocked

Kingston HyperX FURY 64GB (2x 32GB) DDR4 3200MHz Memory

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB Video Card - Was pretty much the only one left in Sydney!

Cooler Master MasterBox NR200 Mini-ITX Case

 

Running FurMark and AIDA64 I sit around 90deg on the CPU @4.6GHz and 72deg on the GPU with no throttling

I have a few jobs lined up to get the most out of it in the coming weeks!

Looks great! I do always like the look of mini-ITX cases but thermals are usually sub par. Nice build! 

You put a blowey in there and bring temps down  

you know you would just have to have the pc in another room.
