looks god damn sexy, nice job, but i also have a s340 with fcfront x61 and the gpu really runs hot because of the oc'D cpu intake with the hot air in the case

 

PS: pls remove those ROG stickers, they look ugly in that scenario imo

Yeah that would make sense why that runs hot. With the S340 I had to mount the fans the otherway so you can't see them :(. But Its okay It still looks good and I'm happy with the outcome thanks for the comment.

this is almost identical to my build except i have a 1600 non x and a vega 56

is 4 ghz your max? i apparently got a lucky chip that runs 4.1 stable, really wanted one of the ones that runs 4.5 stable tho

No 4GHz is not my max, I'm still testing I just set it to 4Ghz because I knew it could do it easily. It is Idle 28c and underload for awhile the highest I saw was 45c. I'll push it further as soon as possible. I hope you got that Vega 56 before the price increase. I was at the store when I was looking at components (Canada Computers) and the Vega 64 was $919 CAD! I was like no way I'll take this GTX 1080 for $799 CAD lol

Thats good, the preorder price is really good against a 1070. If the prices stayed the same, I would have got a Vega 64

I rather see the fans just because they are AER fans
