Case: Corsair C70
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K (4.7Ghz OC)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Motherboard: Asus Z170 Deluxe
RAM:16GB (2x8GB) Corsair LPX DDR4 3000Mhz
GPU: Sapphire NITRO R9 Fury
SSD: 240GB HyperX Predator M.2 and 2x480GB Adata SSD (raid 0)
PSU: Corsair RM1000X
Addons: NZXT HUE+, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy RX 

Because an awesome bland black case isn't enough.

Here's a tour of my amateur modding of my PC, done over a month when coming home after night shifts and having energy to spend.
Upgraded from Ivybridge to Skylake 2 months ago and loving it so far. 
That new asus Motherboard also took care of all my noisy fans and fan controller problems: Once tamed, the AI suite 3 is pretty nifty. All my fans are spinning at about 300rpm while idling on the web and stuff.
Shame i don't know any place nearby to test out the silentness level of this beast. Pretty sure i could beat Linus attempt.

I chose the RM1000X PSU for a possible future second GPU and for the fact that it is both silent and more efficient at medium load (or so i heard)

The noctua NH-D15 keep the little skylake boy cool and fresh, almost never going over 50°C so far. (though that will change when we finally hit the usual 25°c to 30°c average Eastern Canadian summer temperature)

Roast my box, guys!
critics/ thumbs up are welcome :)

  • 3 months later...

Minor Aesthetic update:
Remade the main anchor symbol to fit a more military style. I got tired of the metal Gear: Peace Walker symbol of looking messy and too much like a peace symbol, along with the PCI expansion grills


Also Maxed out on fans and placed two more 140mm fans on the bottom because...why not.
And a complementary a mini Kim jong un 
And a Samsung 950 Pro as bootdrive
As they say, there's no small upgrades!20160806_225217.jpg20160806_225135.jpg20160806_225552.jpg20160806_225608.jpg
