New Fractal North / Intel build

[fusseli]

The build has been great so far! Everything fit better than expected in the smallish North, I have about 1cm to spare between the radiator and end of the 7900xtx. And yeah, hot damn, 7200mhz ram 2-stick kit is stable on the first try simply using XMP! I was worried about having issues since my 13900ks at work can only run up to 6400 with 4 sticks installed.

It definitely needed the exhaust fan, a TON of heat pumps out gaming and benchmarking. I don't love the front mount intake AIO setup but it works and temps seem fine. Also the whole rig is surprisingly quiet, perhaps quieter than my old Corsair H115i 280mm AIO.

The build looks amazing! lovely choices for the parts and it should serve you well for years to come, congratulations! time to Rip'n Tear! \m/ Random Question: did you try running your ram at 6000Mts? what timings can you do on it? just wondering!

I love what you did with the signature there a lovely reminder

That's the first case I've ever seen in which Noctua fans don't look stupid... and it looks cool, too!

I swapped in an even faster ram kit, added an nvme for file history / backup, and re-routed some cables... no regerts.
