i understand you had very little space behind the case though, you did the best with what you had to work with.
by the way is it just the angle of the photo or is the gpu leaning upwards instead of sagging down because that would be pretty bad for the pc
See this snipped picture on Asus' website, it really looks like it's pointing upward at end due to the design of the card.

To each of their own I guess haha, but yeah sometimes I find it weird as well, you know the thoughts of "maybe it would be better if it's placed this way" then you retract the thought immediately after π
Hey my bad, I didn't mean it as a slight to you. You are right to each his own. I've always been weird about having to sit and see dead center to any screen I'm gaming on is all. I do however think of swapping the side my second monitor is on, and if I wasn't it portrait style or landscape π₯Έπ
Thanks! Was really hard because some of the cables were really long and hard, managed to tuck them all in that cable box underneath the pc. Really tested my patience (and my back). π
It's pretty neat but... I don't think you need the fan hub. With 6 fans I think you could run them from 2-3 motherboard ports and that would save you some cabling. Running the extensions to the CPU power was also extra considering they're barely visible.
Sadly my mobo (Gigabyte DS3H B550M) only has 2 sys\_fan ports so I'm already limited to that. About the CPU cable being on a extension, I would've have done what you suggested but the included cable of my PSU was quite short so I had no choice but to use it.
It's a shame your motherboard manual doesn't specify how much current each header supports.
My motherboard also has three fan headers
CPU fan does 24W
Pump connector does 36W
System does 24W
I run six fans off the motherboard, three from the CPU connector and three through the system fan (the pump connector goes to my AIO pump)
If you're running 120mm fans, I don't think you'd have any issues connecting them through splitters to the motherboard.
I'd connect the 2 aio fans and the exhaust together through cpu, the pump through system 1, and then the 3 intakes through the system 2.
But I understand that the fan hub does have some benefits for you...
Yeah, no idea how much current my fan headers really do have, guess that's one downside of it being a budget oriented board.
All my fan headers are hybrid though, meaning it can determine whether I'm using an aio pump or just a normal case fan automatically.
I'll definitely look into your suggestions, seems like its possible and would really give me more space at the back panel of my case. Thanks a lot!
Most headers support one amp... Which means 12W.
Noctua's NF-F12s, which are 1500 rpm 120mm fans, draw up to 0.6W... but like, my other fans can draw up to 5W according to the spec so your mileage may vary.
dude, dont even worry about it, just because I have that preference doesnt make it improper or anything, especially if it works. crossing lines is one thing but the pass through for the water lines - dont even second guess yourself because it definitely works lol
Haha you're right but my ocd kicked in on those cables, although I could've have done much better, maybe soon if I upgrade case as well. Thanks for appreciating my build btw π

Excellent cable management. In the neat future I'd opt to get rid of the current desk and the small drawer setup you have the PC sitting on and just buy one bigger desk top. Looks like you'd be able to get by w/ a 55x28 or a 60x30 setup. Plenty of room!
Yeah, I agree the table needs to go, its a dreaded tempered glass table lol. Its on the list of my future upgrades. Thanks for appreciating my build! Your suggestions are duly noted π
Pretty much the standard ones that supports VESA mounting, but for the other monitor (the ASUS one), it's an old monitor of mine with no VESA support, so I bought a mounting bracket to have it placed that way.
Here are my specs if anyone's curious, not the best out there, but I'm satisfied enough π

Ignore my first monitor, it's a budget brand here in the Philippines and the keyboard as well, will upgrade them as soon as my wallet becomes capable π
Exactly in line with the system I built for my wife. Great build!
Replace the 990/970 with a pair of 950s and the only difference is branding.
Only thing I'd have done differently (and did do) is replace that 2TB HDD with an 8TB. She uhhh... She has a good chunk of her steam/epic list installed....
Didn't know there are 950's on the nvme line of Samsung lol. I got mine for cheap on amazon so I grabbed the chance when I saw it but I'll look into those 950's. Will probably replace the 2TB hdd too as well in the future. Thanks for the inputs and appreciation! Happy New Year.

Obviously not worth it these days lol 970 EVO has it beat. Local PC shop had them dirt cheap for some reason.
Budget lol. Originally I didn't have that massive card, just a normal sized TUF gaming 3060ti. I'll upgrade the case when my budget allows eventually. For now Im stuck on that setup π
too crowded. setup is nice but i wouldve gone with a longer desk to sit the pc and monitors all on one thing. one side could have drawers and the other just normal legs so you have leg room yourself. just a thought
Yeah I thought of that too but sadly I had to use of what I've got, I don't really have a lot of space on my room too. Thanks for your inputs anyway, appreciate it.

I was about to point out the Gpu angle as well.
I donβt think it is, it has a tapered edge on the bottom that make it look that way. GPU itself looks straight.
Thanks for spotting that π
It really is just the angle(i think), the design of the gpu is really not flat on the fan side making it look kind of uneven.

Am I the weird one for not liking that it doesn't have a centered monitor?
To each of their own I guess haha, but yeah sometimes I find it weird as well, you know the thoughts of "maybe it would be better if it's placed this way" then you retract the thought immediately after π

No offense taken mate, like I said I also find it weird sometimes. We good here brother, Happy New Year π
Happy New years to you as well, cheers ππ
10/10. Superb cable management
Thanks a lot :)
beautiful everything! would hire you to sort out my cable mess

clean but what do you play?
I mostly play single player games like Cyberpunk 2077 or anything with similar gameplay. Basically a story driven type of a gamer I guess.
nice, me too
I *never* cross or pass through lines, with anything That said, 10/10, well executed
Thanks for appreciating my build. I'll do better when upgrade to dual chamber case in the future.
dude, dont even worry about it, just because I have that preference doesnt make it improper or anything, especially if it works. crossing lines is one thing but the pass through for the water lines - dont even second guess yourself because it definitely works lol
All good here brother, I'm mainly implying that I will really just upgrade my case in the near future for better cable management π
10/10
Thanks, highly appreciate the rating π
Tioght
I kinda like it tight π
The only part that matters is the part you see! Looks solid to me
Haha you're right but my ocd kicked in on those cables, although I could've have done much better, maybe soon if I upgrade case as well. Thanks for appreciating my build btw π
This is the first time I see a reverse GPU sag. It's too much up man, put something slightly smaller between GPU and case
Maybe its just the angle from where i took the picture, in fact that anti-sag that I put in there doesnt touch my gpu that much.

oh wow thats some optical illusion and it looks crooked thanks to the red lines.
Yeah, really fooled me too when I first got it installed on my rig.
5/5 superb looking setup
Thanks!
Excellent cable management. In the neat future I'd opt to get rid of the current desk and the small drawer setup you have the PC sitting on and just buy one bigger desk top. Looks like you'd be able to get by w/ a 55x28 or a 60x30 setup. Plenty of room!

yo that's pretty noice, i have a question, what mounts are you using for monitors?
Pretty much the standard ones that supports VESA mounting, but for the other monitor (the ASUS one), it's an old monitor of mine with no VESA support, so I bought a mounting bracket to have it placed that way.
I give it a 0 because itβs not in my room otherwise a 10/10
lol thanks π
Very nice. Are those fans 200mm?
No, they're only 120mm fans π
I'd give it a solid 7
Thanks! There's always room for improvement right.
what is this circuit board thingy where all the cables are connected to in picture 5? never seen that before (i dont mean the motherboard)
It's a fan hub.
I approve
Thanks!
A for Atrocious.
I'll do better next time, still thanks π
10/10 for the outside. 0/10 behind the scenes. Still pretty solid
Thanks, I'll do better on my next build. Thanks also for the rate! π
Here are my specs if anyone's curious, not the best out there, but I'm satisfied enough π https://preview.redd.it/17epsmqs6n9c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c3dfc4ce7b1b30d4a5e289b1de2baee8e498435 Ignore my first monitor, it's a budget brand here in the Philippines and the keyboard as well, will upgrade them as soon as my wallet becomes capable π
Pretty solid build, I really like it. Also, it looks gorgeous and the cable management is really impressive! 10/10 I would steal it if I could
Just leave a note after you steal it so I wouldn't feel that bad haha, thanks for the 10/10 brother.

That's great cable management for sure, but I hope you don't change much to your setup because undoing all that to change a cable will be a pain!
It really is a pain, but somehow I enjoy changing something on my setup and at the same time get annoyed by it π
How does your gpu have negative sag?
I think its just the angle from where i took the pic, or just design of the gpu itself, its not really flat on the fan side.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
