There are some aftermarket water blocks for Aorus, so I might be able to replace integrated block/pump with an aftermarket block and bring it all into a single loop.

I'm pretty sure the AIO-equipped Aorus is the same as the stand-alone water-blocked one in terms of board layout, so you could use either the Aorus block or EK or similar that's designed for the Aorus.

I bought the Corsair 750D case for my first build, and I loved it so much I used it again for my second. 

When putting together the specs for my second build, I saw online that corsair done a 750D airflow edition, which I never saw/wasn't available when I bought the standard 750D. The case is the same, it just has a grilled front panel as opposed to the flat sheet of metal on the standard. After looking on Scan, it turns out you can simply buy the "airflow front panel" and attach it, so that's exactly what I did. 

I've never had a problem with temperatures inside this case, but more airflow certainly isn't a bad thing.

I even like how it looks.

That's how it starts. My current build started out as, "Oh, I can see the fans through the front grill, but they aren't RGB. I bet I can find some nice RGB fans to put in." And now I'm trying to decide what color I like for 16mm rigid tube fittings.

For anyone who has a tabletop receiver/interface/DAC/etc and wants extra desk space. Here is how to mount nearly anything under your desk for the price of a cup or two of coffee. I bent my bracket slightly taller than my interface, because I wanted an airgap for cooling. Probably unnecessary, but the bend height is up to you anyway.

Now I can put other junk on my desk where this thing used to be.

@uNi that's really nice mate 👾

Seriously envious of that desk. I might actually upgrade this year to a longer and deeper desk, could definitely fit one in with minimal effort.

Love the feature wall too. Another thing I wish I did when I decorated this room is having a feature wall where my desk is facing.

Got my eye on the Linnmon table top 200x60, reviews are mixed saying it's not very sturdy, though. Either way i'm wanting to pair it with the Alex drawers.

 

Thing is they've been discontinued right before i wanted to do this room out and painted lool. The new range is gonna drop around April, so fingers crossed.

I use those for my desks and they are holding up just fine.  Have all but the longest one. Just put the 150CM together today with legs on one side and a Micke drawer on the other. It is the same size as Alex but fewer drawers. Comes with wheels but leaving them off puts it at the perfect height.

I liked your PC, but i got questions for that

 

Does that run on 4K Graphics?

What is its installed RAM?

Does your PC's GPU is GeForce?

Yes.

32GB.

2080.

GPU replacement, take two... this time it's the RX570 4GB from Aorus. The MSI RX470 Gaming X definitely had a better cooler, but this card at least fits in my case, unlike the MSI which was too wide. And now I have mobo and GPU from matching manufacturers, so that's something I guess. 😛

That's the thickest AIO I've ever seen.

Yeah, that's the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 with a 38mm radiator, which I believe is thicker than in most AiO on the market. I'm not sure on how much that helps, but this AiO was quite cheap compared to competition (I've paid 339PLN = ~€75) and had good reviews, so that's that. I'm happy with it overall, it does the job (not that I'm really pushing it to the limits with a stock R5-3600XT). The only gripe is that at specific RPM (slightly higher than idle) it makes a weird (and quite subtle) sound, a bit as if something was resonating. This might not be the fault of the AiO itself but maybe improper installation, but doesn't bother me enoguh to check right now. 😛

It looks even thicker than 38mm, possibly because it's only 240 length.

[yoječ 483]

Possibly; it could look big because it's a small ITX case as well. To be honest I like that it looks chunky, I think it adds to the aesthetic if nothing else. 😛

Bored, so i whacked my Corsair keycaps on the G513 🙃

[LittleBlueTroll 1,772]

Love the white on black! 

Did you have to buy the white caps separately or did they come with your (Corsair) keyboard as default? 

 

I bought the white caps ages after I got my K70. The white pops so nicely. 

They did do a special edition all white K70, but I can't make up my mind if I like all white products, I prefer some kind of contrast or an accent. 

[DEADWOODZ 7,882]

I bought them a while back, they do reflect pretty nice off the G513 carbon.

 

I did have a K70 lux before i spilt coke on it lol, so i went for a Logitech setup.

At one point i was actually looking at the Corsair k70 mk.2 SE (the white one) a bit ago. I dunno, might have to purchase it at some point when i get this desk in.

I'm getting a new PC soon, but I'm going to buy a laptop that has high PC specs
