ONU Themed 1440p Build

tycho513

Minimal ARGB Build

Case - Azza Nova 8000 (Black with Orange highlights) Removed the 6x drive bay for increased airflow as this thing is built for speed, not file hoarding. 

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3D

Mobo - Asrock B550m Pro4 (was originally going to put it in the Fractal Design Pop Air with lime green (daughter's favorite color) interior, but noooooooo. F.D. is like, nah that's discontinued. And no one else uses lime green as a case color anymore. So yeah, it looks goofy in a full tower. But so what?) 

RAM - 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600

CPU cooler - Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo 

GPU - My old RTX 3070 FTW3 with non-functional rgb fan cover. Not sure why the cover won't light up, but that actually works with this build. 

PSU - Corsair RMx850 with Orange accented sleeved extension cables from FormulaMod. 

ODD - LG BH16NS40 so she can watch her H20 - Just Add Water DVDs whenever. 

Boot disk - Samsung OEM PM9A1 500GB (980 Pro 512GB without Magician software integration)

Game storage disk - Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB

Replaced the stock Azza fans. Even though the case had never been built in, it did sit in someones basement, out of the box for almost a decade before I bought it off Marketplace, it was extra dusty, and had been a home for a couple generations of spiders. Replaced the Orange LED fan with a single Lian-Li AL 120v2 to maintain original orange lighting effect, and the rear exhaust with a Noctua Chromax A12x15 pwm. Replaced the rest of the case fans and added an extra top exhaust and front intake with the Antec 5x 120mm 3 pin fan kit from Amazon. These fans will be controlled by the built-in fan controller of the case. I really like the case design, but I do wish they'd given it about an inch of clearance behind the motherboard tray for cable management. Wound up having to hide most of my wiring sins under the 2.5" mounting bracket in front of the case instead. Good thing the window isn't that low, and the bracket is hidden by an ingenious front swing door. I also think they could have done without the random angles on front and especially top of the case, but those are nitpicks. It was a dream to build in, and I love that it had so much love for optical drives.
