My new RIG: 4090 + 7950X + Full Case and 420mm

[Catalonia]

Hello Guys, after posting my pcpartpicker last week I've finally started to build my RIG. I still have to cable manage everything and is far from finished.

 

Here some pics and my first result on Time Spy everything at stock.

 

What's your opinion? Can I improve on somehing?

 

Thank you guys!

 

 

SPECS:

 

• Asus Srix X670E-E
• AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• Corsair H170i 420mm
• G.Skill DDR5 6000MHz CL32 32GB
• Samsung NVME 990 Pro 1TB
• Zotac 4090 AMP Extreme
• Monitor: LG OLED C2 4K HDR 40 inch
• PSU: Corsair AX1600i

If you already bought and assembled the machine any changes are going to cost a lot more now vs the planning stage

Only thing I would change is how it has negative air pressure. But the only real way to do that would be to remove the rear fan or turn all the top ones around.

Very nice looking build. Just keep working on the cable management is all I can see looking over it. Specifically the GPU power cables and the RGB off the waterblock. For the Waterblock if the cable is long enough, I would route it to the left along the heatsink and up through the CPU power.

This is a beautiful machine and I horribly envy you.

Surprised you went through with buying the Samsung 990 Pro drive with all the ongoing news of the problems with it.

 

Otherwise, it looks amazing and I'm envious that you can afford such high end parts. By the time I've saved enough for my next rig refresh we'll be on Ryzen 9000 - perfect timing for end of AM5 I suppose?

I bought it before this happened... So, I might send it back to Amazon... Or not. Let's see. I have a computer shop and I always build RIGs for my customer, so this time I gave myself my final present.

Hi! @Skiiwee29 Yes, routing that cable is something I will do this week, hopefully is long enough. I am planning to return the CPU and get the 7950X3D when it comes out.

It is... And I won't take it personally

Hi, can you please elaborate? Why would you prefer negative pressure? Thanks!

I don't. I said, "I would change...how it has negative air pressure".

I would get rid of that 4 way Nvidia 12VHPWR cable adaptor and get a nice Cablemod cable instead. Looks great on my CPU: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1396806-aorus-i9-12900k-build-now-i9-13900k-rtx-4090/page/2/ Apart from that - looks awesome.

I would think its fairly neutral - there's 3x 140mm? Fans on the front - 3 on the rad and 1 on the rear but you have the resistance of the air though the rad. I would speculate it is a fairly balanced system.

Fair enough. I assumed it was 120s on the front. As long as there is at least slight positive pressure I think it's good.

This assumes you have absolutely no control over any of the fans speeds and they only run at 100% speed, which we know as experienced builders is not true. 

 

Any user with smart planning can easily group the front three fans to one chassis fan header and the top/rear fans to another (in this case, top fans would go to CPU fan, but regardless) It would be trivial in todays BIOS's to set fan curves so that the front fans always spin a little faster than the rest of the case fans. Some even allow you to dynamically ramp up case fans based on CPU or GPU load.
