(Is it)Crazy Overkill Build?

[MinionTM2]

To elaborate on the title, I am planning on using CAD and photoshop in the future so it was meant as a question of if it was overkill for those uses. Of course I wanted an aesthetically pleasing case to my liking, but looks aside.

 

Corsair 570X Case

Intel i7-7700K

ASUS Maximus IX Formula

32GB GSKILL TridentZ RGB 3466Mhz RAM

Twin EVGA 1080 Hydro Copper GPU in SLI

its nice but i think it deserves some hard line tubing

What's "crazy" and "overkill" about it?

 

Apart from the fact that it's in a desperate need of hard tubing...

I meant "is it overkill?" lol

 

And no hard tube because of the ultra tight tubing contact in the back left side, honestly I barely got soft tubing to work in there because of the motherboard/radiator placement in this size case. When I was going to use The Tower 900 I was going to use hard tubing.

Hard tubing was a bit too much to work with in the back left corner in a midtower, I didn't want to use a lot of fittings. Overall goal was as few points of failure as possible. But yeah hardline was plan A, wish I could have gone that route but was a bit much for 1st time build with my goals and the challenges I mentioned.

You are one of the few people that would buy RGB stuff and set everything to blue

Well here is why

I can combine blue with different shades of green and red to create different shades of blue for more blue variety because simply different brightness of the same blue color isn't enough blue to me and red combined with green can later be combined with blue altogether to give a whole new shade of blue, the red and green combination can then be recombined with existing red or green or the previously mentioned blue and combine again with blue to get a new shade of blue and so on.

Not all blues are created equal, to get them all to match you need RGB. I still have a little tweeking to do, like the GPU's are a few shades too light compared to everything else. But you get the point. I did wonder if someone was going to bring that up though! lol

Looks nice  Its a shame you have the sharp tubing bends  

[Palletodap]

Btw. just noticed the "32GB GSKILL TridentZ RGB 3466Ghz RAM", thats maybe a bit overkill

yeah just that one tube either has to be twice the length or have the appearance of a kink, crappy choice either way. But that tubing is actually much thicker than it looks and even when completely kinked still gets really good flow lol

That is a decent looking build, I say decent cause it's screaming out for rigid, tight bends are easily manipulated with fittings 

 

you could also also reduce the amount of tubing by going from block to block on your gpus. There's no benefit of adding the radiator between the blocks as the cooling is based on coolant temperature vs ambient. That would cut down on 2 tubes straight away. Don't get me wrong it's a good looking build, I'm trying to offer some advice on how you could take it to rigid

Wanted minimal fittings and in the case of the single rad right next to the mobo block it would be damn near impossible because of the angle. Also I wasn't intending to go to rads in between components, it was just the way the loop seemed to work out. Thanks though!

Looks great minion. To answer your question, yes, yes it is overkill. But that's what we #PCMasterRace require for the best gaming experience.

 

Absolutely no compromises, best of the best, premium, top of the line, unique rig we can get our hands on. Good job! Now go play more games then you have time for

Already beat Mass Effect Andromeda on it lol!

Looks awesome btw
