New Kaby Lake build.

[Duke{CLR}]

Mini Dukes PC was have some issues so I bought some new parts and handed my big rig down to him, I bought a 1060 to plug into that system and used my 980tI in the new one. Here is a link.

Hmmm that would never work for me. I'd get all animated during the game and knock that thing right off onto the floor and probably blow it up.

I'm going to be adding some more controllable fans as well as a LED strip, It's going to get even prettier.

A bit too bright for my old eyes.

Apart from that.

Lol, the glass side panel is tinted so it not nearly as bad as it looks in that pic.

you need to have it so when you get hurt in the game it starts to turn red.

That would be cool, also flash along with the gunfire, I current;y have it set up to change with the CPU temperature.

Hey Z, LTNS.

It's a zippy machine, I have been trying to get it overclocked to 5.0. Tonight I was able to get the temps down to 90 during a stress test but that's with the panels off, this case looks great but the airflow isn't what it need to be. I can game at 4.9, along with my 980Ti and my "competitive" game setting I'm easily pegged at 144 FPS, my monitors refresh rate.

Maybe you should have gone with this case Duke.

and look it's $20.00 less with the MIR. As I mess around with this I think I need to go with some sort of H20 solution. It would be fun to go full out but it's costly and high maintenance. I co
considering this one. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-241-_-Product

I like what you did there. Man I just traded a water loop for something else I wanted. If I would have known you needed one we could have made a deal. But it wasnt as big as the one you posted. That thing looks nice. My only suggestion is... I would put it in and have another set of fans pulling or pushing, dont know which way you'll set it up. But thats what I would do. The one I had even on water would get hot sometimes. I was runnin a 930 intel at 4.4. I should have addad a fan to it to push. Had mine set up where it drew air from outside in. Outside air is always cooler.

Overall you did a good build. I think you'll be happy for another 5-8 years. I dont think they will come out with a game that these type machines wont chew up because of them all being ported for consoles. The thing in the future will be 3D and hi res stuff to tax the graphics cards. I dont think the games themselves will really be an issue.
