yeah i tried vertical once back when i had a 2070super strix and it was measurably worse. And that was inside a 3 slot space-having vertical thingy case like the evolvX, cant imagine how bad it would have been using a case with your.. more typical vertical GPU spacing where the big 3pleslot GPUs sit flush against the sidepanel.

Flush against the side panel full of holes for ventilation.

Replaced my old cube to a new common meme airflow based vertical casing. Darkflash DLM21 Mesh

Last pic of my Aerocool Dead silence, the matte smooth finish started decaying after 6 years of use and power button started acting up. I miss it already

During installation of the AIO, i knew there is gonna be a problem with the Arctic Freezer II 240, its too thick and almost a hair's breath on the memory modules, now my Radiator is only being supported by screws on one side and by the very stiff tubing to lift it up a bit, will add additional support maybe some material to strengthen the support on the other side

Finished build for now, maybe ill get some cable extensions soon for cleaner routing. No RGB here, just the GPU, forgot how i was set up that one. Maybe ill add a single RGB strip for static light but not a priority. Temp wise, it's just similar to my cube.

Started Project Blinkenlights for the heck of it based around the awesomely unique DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracers. I'm using another Rosewill 4U chassis and a Chinese dual x79 board. Next step is the RGB PSU from Corsair coming tomorrow, a second E5-2697 v2 CPU, the wacky PCIe cards I have in mind, the two 5 tray IcyDock hotswap bays and the drives. I even spoke with Protocase in regards to making a window for the Rosewill 4U. :D I want to vertical mount it.

I've got a question: With only one CPU mounted, does the system still see all of the installed RAM, or it is just the RAM from the populated CPU socket?

You know I was surprised it even booted with all the RAM kits in it and even no CMOS battery. I was just curious what it looked like while I waited for the second CPU to arrive. It didn't show the extra RAM from CPU2. But because the Crucial's have true blinkenlight LEDs, based on electrical activity, not just software, the underglow LEDs were powered.

Fair enough. Do you have both CPU's now or are you still waiting? And how much RAM do you have in there?

I hadn't built an AMD system since the 939 system I posted in the "nostalgic hardware" thread...

a couple of months ago I made an AMD "starter set" to replace my "B" man cave system...I haven't done a bunch of testing but 4.5 ghz was easily attained ... I had planned for a 6900 XT but , well , you know the story of availability . The trusty Titan XP has been up to the task.

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero @ 4.5 mhz * AMD 5800X * Corsair Dominator Platinum 32g * Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 1 TB * Titan XP * Samsung JS9000 4K 48" * Creative Titanium HD * Logi G900 * Corsair K65

Still waiting on the 2nd CPU. I have enough DIMMs since I went crazy with them a few years ago. The Crucial Ballistic Tactical Tracers top out at 8GB, so I'll have 128GB of RAM with 24C/48T. I'm going to use PrimoCache to do RAM caching with SuperFetch & Prefetch enabled too on Windows 10 Pro Workstation. I'm going to be using old school Gigabyte GC-RAMDISK / i-RAMs 5.25" variants for Pagefile (so 8GB total). Rig will have 10 x 3.5" HDDs via IcyDock 5 bay hotswap and 8 x 2.5" HDDs via PCIe adapter (SEDNA card) and then 4 x 2.5" 512GB SATA SSDs for more caching. Then I have this interesting IcyDock drive injector. For the drives I'm going to use StableBit DrivePool. Mostly going to use it for Folding@Home/BOINC & backup server and try to just enjoy the blinkenlights doing their thing.

I just got the RGB PSU from Corsair! (got it cheaper because of the bad box) I forgot to take a pic of it in the system but it looks so nice. I'll post an updated pic when I get the 2nd CPU & put on the 2nd Cryorig RGB heatsink.

The fans will probably get adjusted around a bit once parts go into it. I don't think cooling will be an issue. Needless to say this is zero rgb :laugh:

lovely case. i might end up getting this one if the Lian Li O11 Air Mini is not in stock.-
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-pc-o11-air-midi-tower-black-window-ca-76u-ll.html

I'd avoid the O11 Air (non mini). Everything I've read about it has been quite negative. You could get a regular O11 Dynamic and get a front fan grill example 1, example 2, or the new Dynamic Evo which I don't know much about. I don't think these models have much air cooler space compared to the Mini or the XL if you want to run a big HSF air cooler.

The O11 Air Mini is like a classy Corsair 540 or sideways CM HAF-XB (but sadly without much 3.5 and no 5.25, debatable if that matters today).

Whichever i get, may even end up being a full size O11 as it needs room to fit my custom loop to keep the incoming 12700k cool. I only have a 280/45 and 240/25 rads at the moment but will probably change that slightly if i have room for bigger ones, i had to fit these into a Matx case.

Dynamic evo looks sweet.

I've heard they are all good except the O11 Air (not mini). Its very plastic, poor airflow because it has too much filter, and doesn't look that great.

Those things are pretty cool. Also with the XL as with other O11s, you can get distro plates that fit the front or you can get grill panels, lots of stuff can be done with them. Might still be worth waiting to see how the Evo does, I think it has the revised paneling from the Air Mini.

Just for the hell of it, to see how more 3.5s would fit in a hypothetical sense, I put this silverstone cage in. I won't bother with it, might interfere with the other components and its not very easy to add/remove.
I only run two 3.5s anyway and they could sit in the cage behind the motherboard. If someone ran a lot of drives, attaching them to the front fan cage could be a good possibility.

Still waiting on way more parts but oh man, I love the lights so far. I don't even mind if they don't match. I reinstalled the mid-fan wall with my favorite LED fans, the CoolerMaster JetFlo 120's.

The little gpu looks so tiny compared to the rest of this PC
the gpu shortage is making this commen place
Possible the only good part of it is the mild amusment that comes from seing a tiny little gpu in a massive case

Currently experimenting with some "old" DDR4 kits on my Z590 board. Have some 2016 or thereabouts, dual ranked samsung b die 16GB kit that doesn't want to OC well at all... it has an XMP profile @ 3000MHz, but system did not want to boot at 3200, even with more vdimm.
After wasting over an hour with that set, I moved them to my "General PC" for the time being & now playing with my Patriot Viper Steel 16GB 3733 kit.
The joys of ram overclocking! o_O

I modified the drive cage on the O11 Air Mini to be removable so that I can actually remove the heatsink with the motherboard installed. It was riveted in previously.
