Rig Showcase Discussions

Description

Talk about perfect timing. Parts I owned from a previous rig died on me and I used the money I got back from the replacement plan to get a very nicely discounted CPU and MoBo.

What are you going to use your TR PC for?

[alexkywalker]

I do a variety of things, but in order of importance:

1. Music Production with Ableton Live and connecting analog instruments via a USB interface.
2. Mobile App Development with Xamarin and Visual Studio.
3. Playing Video Games and Streaming on Twitch.
4. Bragging with friends and colleagues

The Enermax is fantastic, however it was a bit of a challenge to fit on this case. I had to remove a lot of internal HDD/SATA frames from inside (I even had to use power tools to remove some rivets).

It's very silent compared to my previous build which had a Ryzen 7 with an EVGA H110i cooler.

Do you have a picture of your build?

[scythefwd]

I do.. If you look in the builds section, I think I titled my thread 32 headed beast.

To get mine working right, I had to cut a grill into the front of my case .. I know the struggle, its real lol.

Here's the finished build, I would like to swap the fans for red ones since the case came with blue fans, but other than that I am happy with the airflow and rig performance so far.

As you can see I mounted the enermax liquid cooler on top of the pre-built case fans. I did some research and double-fanning is a positive thing if done right .

The GPU is an Asus Strix Vega 64 (triple fan), and it's a silent beast. I totally love it and I wish I had two!

Very useful, especially the bragging bit .
I really like the Graphics design on that ASRock X399 Taichi TR4 ATX motherboard.
