Greetings,

I'd say the phase one of the build is finished.
More stuff to come:
*more cooling
*more ROG
*more GPU
*more SSD
*more Monitor
*more gaming space
*and probably less time to enjoy it all

Thanks for checking out my build ! Have a great day !

Bro, looks even better in real life. I wish I had a DSLR to properly catch the image. And the lighting in my apartment sucks.

Arrived today.

I ordered some external hard drives from Amazon US a while back. They cancelled the order saying that it was mispriced and gave me a gift voucher as an apology. With that got this little thing for 60 something GBP. A lot better than the going rate of around 100 that is currently in UK.
So far satisfied with this “Gizmo”. I’ve got it hooked up to TV for now but will transfer to case in a few days. More pictures will follow.

There are preset lighting modes that come loaded on the keyboard right ? I have to say aura sync is kind of underwhelming in it's effects. Corsair looks a ton better 😕 They have to get to work and get this software up to snuff..

[ninezerofive]

Yes besides the Aura Sync effects there are additional :
Quicksand, Reactive,Ripple.

The very last part of the video is my custom effect that I use now daily:

Mobo,Ram,GPU,PSU : Starry Night
Ryuo : Strobbing
Keyboard : Quicksand

I am not bothered with RGB myself, if the build is mainly black and I can set all the lights to red, im good to go :cool:

Build update:

TL : DR - Core Cahe Ratio 4500 -> 4900

Before updating bios to 0905 i did some prime thermal tests just to make sure my system isn't running worse after update.

Turns out it started to run cooler, so I fooled around with Core Cache ratio. Left the voltage as is and decided to test what would happen if I increased from 4500 to 4900.... and it ran stable !

Still won't do 5000 but I'm satisfied with 4900 🙂

5200 MHz cpu and 4900 core cache ratio ?

I run a high maxed out setting on my IX Apex 5k and 4.7k. Just kills it for at I7-7700k

as you know I am waiting on the next build i9-9900k

Yea, that's what I can cool with Ryuo 240, under stress test that tops out at 89C but that's the worst case scenario, on day to day tasks I haven't seen anything higher than mid 70's.

And it runs stable @ 1.325v.... but the next step up to 5.3 requires better cooling, system started to run cinebench tests stable at around 1.38v. Although I could probably set voltage to 1.4v and run it stable just browsing web and playing games, I am not able to confirm it with stress test so I avoid this option.

Picked up Pugio and Whetstone to complement my Claymore
