I put this together to add to my Folding@Home power for LTT's Folding Month. It consists of a CPU and GPUs I already had. After I posted some early photos on Reddit, someone contacted me wanting to trade my 2x GTX 1080s for an unopened 2080. This was ideal since it's more PPD than both cards while drawing less power. In the dual 1080 form, GPU temps were around 79 and 83 degrees for the hotter card. This is fine since all it does it sit there and run Folding@Home.

Things I loved about the build:

  1. Dual chamber cases are just a joy to build in. There are SO MANY tie down points in the back and room to run everything. Makes the fact that the board is larger than most mATX boards not really a big deal.
  2. This board really makes use of the extra space. Plenty of fan headers in convenient spots.
  3. No RGB light show to upstage the components. I like a good RGB build, but sometimes you just want to admire the components. Really enjoyed focusing more on the aesthetics of the components than lights.

Challenges:

  1. This board is big! It covers almost all of the grommet holes. This made it so that I needed to be very careful when running things. A lot of cables needed to be run underneath the board, so it wasn't screwed in until I was confident about the position of everything. All in all, it was pretty easy, but still a fun challenge to route everything.
  2. I had to order a whole bunch of fans to get them all the same color. Didn't realize there was so much variation among the Noctua Redux fans. Some were REALLY dark and almost green.

All in all this build was a breeze. Really like the Asus OC card. No LEDs at all and it's got an interesting pattern on the backplate. It's odd that it's so thick, but skinnier width wise than the STRIX cards. Guess it made sense tooling wise.

This PC generates almost 2 Million PPD in folding GPU+CPU. I'll let it fold through the winter, then repurposed it. Plenty of power to do anything else I may need later on.

sweet build, love when people can stick to a color scheme and not spew RGB everywhere even if monochrome is pretty meh for a colorscheme :) looks like a really clean build and those specs are mad

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally)...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Man if only that keyboard was ISO... also does it have all the nav cluster intergrated into the numpad like a good navless or is it just chopped off?

The original numlock mappings were strange. I redid them.

Sweet shades of gray, well done sir..! Congrats!

 

I really didn't expect for that RTX, it's so thick...no!...big....no!....thig?...(meh)...for a single card.. At least it can keep up with The Stig.. Go thig or go home! ?

 

I have my Nocturnal Blackout build, and documented the whole build process but I'm not confident to post a build log thread for it.. So I will let it stay being stealthy and unseen as its nick, Nocturnal and it's blackout monochromaxed..
