Your PC ATM

Not really, just need to install it properly
Try to instal for example thermalright fans on thermalright cooler and you will see the difference. There are no way to install thermalright fans without applying decent amount of pressure on cpu cooler. Most of them will require higher pressure to install than noctua.

Your center fan is way out of position
Nah it is as it should, just barely hanging :D
ps I've clicked it to position, I was so happy that I did not forgot to connect display port to gpu, that I forgot of something else :D
I'm thinking if there is something else that I forgot while closing pc, but maybe not :D we will see ^^

Noctua clips are better cause they are holded in place, and You don't need to hold them while installing fan. :)
The design is great with those clips.
 
Yup I like this better than my Torrent..

It has vibe like lost ark, or some other mystery from ancient times :)
And this ROG lurking in the shadows :D

The pic came out a little darker than I thought it would.. cant see the fans on my rad, just the screws and the bearing.. ahh well.

I have a TL-C12 Pro on my ram too, but I took it off for the pic :D
 
I’m gonna switch to mATX case soon, Jonsbo D32 Pro I guess
 
My son’s PC just got upgraded from a Meshify C to a Torrent C, 5600X to 5800X3D, and 16GB B-Die running at 3600C16 to 32GB B-Die at 3733C14. He’s happy.

Mini itx just to test if it works :D, the psu did not even fit in case :D, I've bought cheap mini itx chinese b450i board, and friend sold me his 1660 and rest is from some other projects :).

As I make my move to launch my own System Integrator business I thought I was still missing some experience in watercooling, namely the MORA IV. So I had the perfect excuse for my wife to get one LOL.

CPU and GPU are in separate loops now, CPU is way more sensitive to heat than the 5090. The 5090 also turns water into hot soup.

My heatkiller rads likely have some restrictions in it that I need to clean out as I got about 15c improvement on idle and more than 20C during load. That said the 2x 360mm rads are now just cooling the 5090 which still stays below 55c while gaming. This is with all fans set to static and inaudible levels!

I love the rail system on this cooler. Already proved super useful to access RAM or the GPU latch.
 
After transferring my server from my Fractal Define R5 to my new SilverStone CS382...

...I transferred my Main PC from my Phanteks Enthoo Pro M into the R5.

My plan now is to transfer my Off-site PC into the Pro M, and then recreate the original iteration of my PC in the old Antec case Off-site is currently in.
 
Had to get a new PSU, and cooler! No more sleeved cables tough...

You might want to get a smaller 240 Radiator or a bigger case. If there is any air trapped in it, the pump on the CPU will over heat.

This. The pump should NEVER be the highest point in the loop. Otherwise the air in the loop(and there's always a little bit) gets trapped in the pump and burns it out.
 
Sorry, phone's camera is just not good.

Should be good for some years I guess. If it were at the absolute top of the rad I would probably have worried about it.

And should be no problem hearing when it runs dry... It's a little bit noisy pump even with good access to fluid.

A little update! Just had to make a hole for the 24 pin.

Looks ok to me.

The light bleeds out, like it's being pointed at the sun.

Anyway, there is no RGB control on that CPU fan as far as I can tell.

I still need case fans, more RAM (for LLMs) and maybe some more storage.

I'm relocating for job so I won't have the PC for a while :(

Put together a micro pc. iGPU are fairly capable these days.

You and him have likely already figured this out, but that card will need settings turned down for gaming at 4k. If you can't get a great performance from 4k, remember that 4k scales down perfectly to 1080p.
I know, he already had a 4k tv & he plays doom at 4k low with dlss and probably similar settings in wukong
