ongoing Project "insert_super_cool_name" (I'm bad at naming stuff :( )

[Marine_Boy]

Hello and welcome to my build log!

 

After a long time of saving and postponing the update for my PC, because life, here it is! It has no name since I'm really bad at naming stuff and it would probably end up as Jerry or Purple Blazing Lightning whatever, so I didn't even try. I want to mention that it is an ongoing project. There are still a lot of things that I want to do. For example NZXT Aer fans + HUE+, an M.2 drive, 4K monitor are going to be added later, but for now since it is fully operational I figured I will share it. I mostly use it for gaming, but it is also my everyday use machine. I do some C# coding, Photoshop and Illustrator are my job, so I do that at home as well just to polish my skills and because I like it. Streaming movies/Games to my TV downstairs works too. You could say it is kind of a command center of my house (the digital part). I went with Purple-White-Black color theme, because I wanted to have something different than a Black-Red build. No offense, I love this color theme, but I wanted something less common I'm still trying to get a 4GHz OC on my 1800x, so far with no success Thermals on one of my card are worrying me as well, but it only happened during benchmarks. There was a 10 degree difference between the two cards!

Because I got the 2 1080s earlier for my small mining project. After the profitability dropped really low, I decided that I'm not going to burn them for a shitty profit. Also SLI, although maybe not worth it, looks sexy AF in my opinion
