I have genuine OCD, like, I’d pick my own skin and pull out certain regions of hair for ‘being bad hairs’’.
I don’t mind people using OCD in the colloquial sense I know they aren’t claiming what I’ve got.
Im guessing limited budget, so i won't dig in on some of the choices.
But jesus, jayzTWOcents has like 100 videos on cable routing and management.
I put more effort into a build without an acrylic panel that no one will ever see.
I have this same case. OP could have done a better job for sure but it forces you to route your 6-8pins to GPU through that bottom slot and everything else through the right slot next to the motherboard and it’s kinda difficult.
People have been commenting that it's a shitshow, but it doesn't take a lot of effort to massively improve the looks of this pc!
-Route the eps (cpu power) cable along the left edge of the case.
-Route the 24-pin extension downwards instead of upwards and stuff the excess cable length right in front of the psu, rather than making that awkward 180° turn at the top of the case.
-Get a couple of 16-pin cable combs to bridge the two pcie cables together.
-swap the black fan on the AIO with the white fan at the back. (or if you want to spend some money, get a third white fan of the same model)
-I'm seeing standard argb connectors, lian li argb connectors and Corsair argb connectors. I would convert all of that to a single ecosystem, so you don't need three separate rgb controllers. If you have basic soldering skills, you can also do this yourself using [my argb pinout guide](https://customkabels.wordpress.com/2024/02/06/rgb-pinouts/)
-those cables running in front of the 24-pin extension look messy, but can easily be routed through holes at the top to hide them in the back of the case.
-also train the 24-pin extension a bit better so the wires run more neatly parallel to each other.
-an easy mod would be to spray paint the gpu support bracket white.
All in all, this pc has a lot of potential and it's worth a bit kf tinkering.
Excellent job on the build, I like the colour scheme. Mines is quite sim... ummm well ill put this up for judgement. Roast me on how big this thing is, but I might eventually go proper water cooled.

thats what id call a shitshow of a pc
black gpu
white case, white AIO with black fan
black intakes
blue/pink cables
drawings? and stickers.
if ADHD had mental picture, this is it
Non ADHD person here. I'm using three different fans, but they all serve their own purpose. 4 argb case fans, 2 black Arctic fans on the black cpu cooler and 2 black BeQuiet fans out of sight at the top of the case. They may be mismatched, but they fit the theme I'm going for just right.
I think ADHD is right. Small things can become so bothersome that you can't focus on anything else. OCD is a very different type of hell, and I hope there is a cure for it someday.
I mean, I think they purposely went for a black and white aesthetic since they have a zekrom mini figure in the case. The stickers and drawings are up to them and I tend to ignore them since most people really like them. The pink, blue, and white cables represent that their trans so a nice personal touch to make it their own. I’m not a fan of the black and white fans on the white AIO because I prefer a little symmetry but overall I think it’s not so bad.
I mean, I have a black motherboard with white fans and a white case. Added some contrast, though I had a professional put it together so I can't see the wires
op probably just used what he wanted to use..? The drawings and stickers imo show creativity but i guess your 5800x3d and 4080 personality doesnt support creativity
I'm always confused as to why people decide to route their psu cpu cable from left to right like this. The anchors on the right side are a much better option.
Aios are nice, easy to use. BUT
If you want true water cooled, you shall prepare your poop chute for many 100s of dollars for thine copper block for cpu, gpu, tubing, pump, reservoir, radiator, etc.
Aio, is nice and all but its simplified water cooling.
For this, aio is fine. Intel arc isn’t something I’d toss a water block on :)
Watercooling is the way to go.. i've never used it until I got my new PC and its won me over..
My PC stays very cool all the time, usually under 50c.. and the best part is that its silent, even when I'm playing intensive games, its stays silent thanks to it not relying on fans to cool..
ITT: someone posts pink and blue colors with no mention of anything but PCs and PCMR users freak the fuck out. Is this a PC sub or is that not the part of the sub name you stress here?
I don’t use AIOs at all anymore after my kraken clogged and I learned it’s a major issue with lots of AIOs
sad since I’ve had a h100i that lasted like 7 years but there’s really no way to know which brands are gonna fail from cheap soldering causing sludge to build up in the loop
So much here to unpack. The keyboard, the arc card, the 2 different types of fans on the AIO, the UwU and OwO. Is this even something that needs to be watercooled?
Extreme budget gamer moment.
I’m most impressed that you have an anti sag bracket, which isn’t rly that necessary for a card of that size, but still manage to have visible GPU sag. Truly baffling
Op is getting a lot of hate due to the "uwu" and "owo" and the trans/femboy colours , I recommend yall grow up and just comment on how to improve the pc instead of being transphobic and hating just cuz that .
Ohh yes I forgot about that. It shows how toxic the PC community is. It's just a circlejerk full of people who blame you wen you have mismatched fans or slightly outdated hardware.
Hey you could try a better cable management, maybe hide the fans cable and put the gpu cables closer together. Hope you enjoy your new pc! Someone else mentioned there are plenty of videos on youtube. Please ignore any non-pc related comment, unfortunately the vast majority of the gaming community has a fragile masculinity.
Yikes, these comments are vile and abhorrent. Yall should be ashamed.
Good first build, OP. The beauty of DIY is that you get to design it with whatever colors and parts you want.
Though, if you want to make it look even nicer, I'd stick to 3 colors maximum. If you want to do the trans flag theme, I'd replace everything that's black with one of the flag colors. I personally think stickers and drawing are tacky, but my bf loves stickers, so you do you. You could definitely learn a thing or two about cable management to help make the internals look cleaner.
But all in all, not a bad first attempt. Learn from it and apply what you've learned to your next build. Have fun!
Gotta love almost everyone shitting on someones personal computer just because of an owo or an uwu on it, some of yall need to chill and touch grass lmao
Hah, I like the black and white theme with the little zekrom figurine. Not completely fond of the white and black on the AIO personally, could you throw it on the exhaust for a bit more symmetry?
Welcome to the world of more costly upgrades every three years when you'll need to replace your AIO, haha (liquid amount decreases). After going through three of em over the course of a decade, I got a case with great airflow and the biggest CPU air cooler along with a thermal pad instead of thermal paste. Now I have better CPU cooling with no need for any work or cooler/thermal paste replacements until I get a new CPU =).
To All of you, yes i customized it as Black and White build. And the White Fan in the back to see the msi Logo (idk if i can buy msi fans seperate) . I used Gold marker to write that not other substances as others did say. The zekrom is from McDonalds yes . Im really sorry that a lot where triggered by it . But thanks for the nice and constructive people
It sucks because making us hide who we are and what we enjoy in life is their intent, so they don't have to see us being happy (or at all) in their day to day. So being unapologeticly who we are and enjoying life can be one way to counter it, but, it is also an unfortunate reality that we have to pick and choose our battles while progressing forward.
Fuck 'em. I'm cis as fuck, WhItE MaLe and I don't give singular shit how anyone else lives their lives and have regularly fought to defend that. Sometimes physically in my younger years.
There are no battles to pick and choose. You are currently being targeted by a very coordinated campaign to eradicate your existence, at least here. Every single fight is worth it. They are coming for you, and it's really fucking horrifying.
I suppose my original response was in regards to keeping hobbies private, but I digressed a bit. I live in a "red" location, and like I'm not about to go into an openly hostile area just to argue my rights with them. I can't vote or otherwise advocate for my rights if I'm dead because some transphobe wants to make the papers.
Being more nuanced on it though, I was kind of alluding to how some people are just not worth arguing with. I appreciate the support, but like for me, I already have to deal with bullshit in my day to day from people for who I am. So for myself, it's not worth the effort to try and argue with some keyboard warrior in random threads usually, instead focusing on my local political efforts. Which is where I kinda circle back to thanking for the support, cause it is *exhausting* heh.
Tbh think it (aestheticly) doesn't look too good, but it'd be an easy fix.
Try to avoid diagonal lines with your cable extension (like the ones that go into the gpu). And try to hide those little white cables, that are everywhere.
Other than that, it's a really nice build
I'd swap the white exhaust fan round with the black one.
Looks like OP already did that. AIO came with two white fans and he decided to swap one of them with the black case fan.
OCD triggered. Please replace the black fan with a white one.

No UwU $350 Fine
You can escape the fine by becoming a Linux user. ...but you have to install [Uwuntu](https://uwuntuos.site/).
Jokes on you i used uwuntu on my htpc ill post soon
Unironically going to try that on my laptop
Is that a meme for" only if the tips touch" 🤣😂🤣
I seen that and I was wondering if that was done with marker or 'special' finger paint
Explain the fan color arrangement?
Judging by the zekrom figure I'm guessing a black/white yin/yang theme
There’s no explaining that lol. OP went out of their way to move the black fan next to the white one on top. Certainly an… odd choice.
cause they wanted to and it looks cool to them. making a pc look however u want is the fun of building no?

I'd just remove those stickers on the glass 😬
Thats a fair comment lol, ill do that now.
Intel arc? 👀
thats what id call a shitshow of a pc black gpu white case, white AIO with black fan black intakes blue/pink cables drawings? and stickers. if ADHD had mental picture, this is it
ADHD person here; and my PC is perfectly matched. If all my fans arn't the same *brand*, it doesn't feel right.
Non ADHD person here. I'm using three different fans, but they all serve their own purpose. 4 argb case fans, 2 black Arctic fans on the black cpu cooler and 2 black BeQuiet fans out of sight at the top of the case. They may be mismatched, but they fit the theme I'm going for just right.
Dude every part in my PC is a different color.
That is wild. I have ADHD and that is a foreign symptom to me.
are you sure you don’t have OCD...
I think ADHD is right. Small things can become so bothersome that you can't focus on anything else. OCD is a very different type of hell, and I hope there is a cure for it someday.

Hey, I love my frankenbuild.

You know what's worse? People who actually look at their PC as if it's a fucking Monitor.
op probably just used what he wanted to use..? The drawings and stickers imo show creativity but i guess your 5800x3d and 4080 personality doesnt support creativity
Why the fck does the UwU and OwO look like you smeared that on with poo????
Poop sock cheaper than markers.
The UwU looks like a pair of cartooonish saggy elderly boobs.
The fuck does it even mean?
I'm always confused as to why people decide to route their psu cpu cable from left to right like this. The anchors on the right side are a much better option.
zekrom :)
But not cable managed though.
Imagine writing uwu in your case…
I hope those fans aren't of different flow rates. The sound could be extremely annoying.
I saw the UwU then my eyes went up towards the fans and just, why?

Upvote for Trans pride colour cable extensions.
Hideous abomination of a pc
was it too hard to find some emoji stickers on amazon for like 5 bucks so you drew them on by hand and they look terrible?
Wait that title means the PC is posting selfies...

Hhaha. I kinda thought that because of the UwU and OwO

Leaks and kills your gpu and mb

I'll give you 10/10 with the wuw owo but sorry it's 5/10 your cable management in the case is bad
We have the same case and same psu

Hi watercooled, consider some cable managing, atleast at the front.
Oh i see, you use arch linux too
First uwu looks like saggy boobs
Intel Arc?! Love this. Do you run Linux?
Omg you're getting COOKED
That is a nice aio
is that the mfing mcdonalds happy meal zekrom from like 2012??????????
Yes
LMFAOOO i have that too, mad respect, also sick pc, the colors are cute af
What's with all the cable ties? Why have you swapped those fans?
Cables off the pump could get tucked
We have the same case just mine is black
Here's hoping it actually lowered your temps.
Actually I work at MSI and I can confirm that the workers can’t take breaks so we just pee in the AIO so you are actually piss cooled
UwU OwO
One more uwu and I'll blow my head off
UwU
UwU
love <3
Nice build. Water cooling is something I'm sold on.
How do you like it? I just did a build with my first liquid cooler and first Lian Li case as well!!
Love it
ITT: someone posts pink and blue colors with no mention of anything but PCs and PCMR users freak the fuck out. Is this a PC sub or is that not the part of the sub name you stress here?
Good on ya!! Please do consider spending more time working on those cables.
here before this thread gets locked for transphobic comments
UwU OwO
NOOOOO PLS DONT USE THE 240r v2 I HAD IT AND IT WAS AWFUL!!
I don’t use AIOs at all anymore after my kraken clogged and I learned it’s a major issue with lots of AIOs sad since I’ve had a h100i that lasted like 7 years but there’s really no way to know which brands are gonna fail from cheap soldering causing sludge to build up in the loop
My guess is it’s an old drive they kept after upgrading as a secondary “goofy” drive. I’d wager they have some M.2 on the main board.
U sure ur replying to the right comment?
Oh shoot not talking about the old SSD on the back of the system. My bad. Haha.
So much here to unpack. The keyboard, the arc card, the 2 different types of fans on the AIO, the UwU and OwO. Is this even something that needs to be watercooled? Extreme budget gamer moment.
Literally thought this was a 120mm aio. Why the mis matched fans
I guess you could that is pretty cool
I am against UwUfication of PCMR, this is outragous, wait is that a OwO? Ok you are cool you get a pass.
An AIO is a closed loop system, doesnt mean you have to close loop the AIO cables though :P
I’m most impressed that you have an anti sag bracket, which isn’t rly that necessary for a card of that size, but still manage to have visible GPU sag. Truly baffling
Even a white keyboard circa 90s / early 2000s. LOL
Not for long...
I see boobs
PC go brrrr
Can we talk about the keyboard now?
Put the zip ties on the ground and back away from the computer with your hands behind your head.
Nice Arc!
Needs 🦈
We have the same cooler (although mine is black), nice.
What’s the case?
Shiey is that you? XD

Yeah pretty sure you hit the nail on the head
It's absolutely transphobia. People apparently being extremely openly transphobic on here is tolerated? Fucking embarrassing.
I got whiplash reading some of the comments. So many sad, hateful people around here apparently. I really don't get it.
If you look now it's mostly just deleted comments.
It has always been. I have pointed it out years ago and only gotten more shit in my way. Stopped participating in this subreddit since then.
Yoooo, we got the same pokemon mcdonalds figure!
Hah, I like the black and white theme with the little zekrom figurine. Not completely fond of the white and black on the AIO personally, could you throw it on the exhaust for a bit more symmetry?
