RYZEN budget beast

[_larry]

To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
RYZEN 5 1600X @ 4ghzASUS Prime B350-PLUSCorsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3200mhzXFX R9 290 1070mhz~core overclockCorsair 850cx PSU120gb Kingston SSD for boot drive1TB WD drive for music, pictures, etc.1TB Seagate Barracuda for Steam library/games3TB HGST for Steam library/backup

Mods:
Nothing really other than 4x120mm Cougar case fans, Enermax 92mm 3- copper heatpipe CPU cooler with another 92mm fan strapped for push-pull airflow.(Actually keeps my CPU fairly cool! Never got above 67C during 15 minute stress testing. Stays below 60C while gaming mostly.)Copper memory chip heatsinks on my R9 290's VRM chips. Had to file down the main heatsink a few millimeters to get them to fit. Without them the VRM chips would get into the 90C range..Now they hardly hit 76C.

Finally upgraded from my dated Ivy Bridge CPU setup. My R9 290 is the next to be replaced, but I didn't want my old i5-3450 bottle-necking a new card.My old PSU was dieing as well, so I got to fully strip my Antec 900 case and do some semi-proper wire management.

Why does everyone get so upset about using zip-ties? They work so well...

...works very well but detracts from the aesthetics of the build which is really nice by the way. I did not vote because i know the cable management challenges of the 900 (I had one), so i know with a few tweeks how good this could look.

Once upon a time, this used to be a PC Gallery. Sorry If I have upset you with my mediocre build, child.

I like how you used what you had to , in order to mount the fans. People don't always have a lot of money
after buying there Cpu and parts, for extras. So I say job well done ! using what you had for the budget you had. Bravo !!!!

 

[MethanolMan]

I voted 6/10 because:

For getting the parts to game, and ignoring the bling ! Some folks have budgets. I like your build!

Antec 900 is nice, but there are a lot more better cases out there now.
