Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “PC Wars – Episode 28”.
What’S happening guys, I’m tech Saurus welcome back to PC Wars. Now for those of you who didn’t exist at the time of this series back, then this is pretty much like setup Wars, but for PCs, pretty straightforward. So if you think you have an awesome PC to share with the world, consider participating links on how to enter will be down below. We did leave off on episode.
27. So with that said, let the PC Wars continue looking for an easier way to start gaming. Now, well now you can, with the Corsair Vengeance 6100 series gaming PC powered by named the horizon 3000 series, CPU AMD Radeon, rx, 5700 series, graphics card and Corsair Vengeance, RGB pro memory, every vengeance, gaming PC, comes with a two-year system, warranty on parts and labor with Coursers lifetime 24/7 customer service for more info check the link below okay, all right, what a way to start the episode a nice little edit from Chris for his frostbite PC. By the way, I encourage everyone, that’s in between PC Wars, to do something this creative for their submission. It kind of helps spice up the video, so this is frostbite a fully custom water-cooled system inside the NZXT h 700 case.
I just love the simple mods on the case, adding something so simple. Like a couple of vinyl stripes, really, spices up the build and the best part is it’s not permanent. So if he gets bored with black stripes, you can swap it with another color. This PC is used for gaming and productivity.
With the i7 9700 k, OE two gigs of ram and a gigabyte win for RTX 2070. You guys might be wondering how on earth he fit a full custom loop inside the H 700. Well, there were some modifications done to the case in order to make this work first off, he removed the cable cover and through an additional plate with a built-in pump instead of using a cylinder rez which wouldn’t have fit in the first place. It’S about the modifications you did to the case include a custom psuche rat with an NZXT logo.
We had custom fan, grilles cables and a few parts were painted like the GPU vertical mount bracket and the front radiator very clean bands, all around and great choices on the water blocks and fittings. They are all from fix key with the exception of the mono block, which is from ek, since big ski doesn’t really make any model blocks. Currently, I wish the H 700 would have extra clearance in the back so that you can mount the additional plate with the pump facing in the back, but at least it’s in white, so it kind of blends in with the bill not a big deal. Also, what I’d love to see some custom cables used for the dual pin connectors up top? I’M actually curious, why you stuck with stock cables, seeing as you have custom cables for both the 24 pin and the GPU cables? Also, I didn’t see any overclocking numbers in the notes, which is kind of a shame with such an awesome custom loop, but all in all, this is a fantastic build.
Thank you. Chris, for entering coming straight from his basement is another Chris and his PC named honey. Miner, which is a cryptocurrency miner, that he also uses to test his cards according to him, he’s able to pull off 55 Terra hash out of each GPU, which I did some calculations online, and it appears he can make around $ 120 per month on each GPU And since yes to in there, that’s around 250 bucks just by leaving his system on and by the way. This is what 1500 watt power consumption. So if this number is a lot lower, let’s say around 850 watts, then his earnings can increase to $ 180 per card, which is 360 bucks per month. If these numbers are anywhere near real-world numbers that I think I should build a couple mining rings for myself. Imagine having five of these systems and doing absolutely nothing and collecting like 1800 bucks a month. The system itself isn’t that attractive, but it’s packing the i7 8086 k with 32 gigs of ram and two aces Strix 10 ATT is in sli. It looks like he only water-cooled the cpu so that it’s easier for him to swap the GPUs out for testing, which makes sense, and I’m assuming he stuck with soft tubing for easier maintenance when he’s not busy making that, though, he does play fortnight on his massive 50-Inch TV and, unlike other setups, I’ve seen on the show he was smart enough to space out the distance by adding another desk, not bad. Thank you Chris, for entering coming from Munich, Germany. We have Dennis and his work of art. I don’t even think I’m looking at a PC this year is a masterpiece, to say the least.
It’S a non RGB custom water-cooled system built for showrooms, it’s rocking in 67 and UK with 32 gigs of ram and the NVIDIA GTX 1080i founders Edition the case that he used is the fractal design, the fine s, and there were some mods done to it. Like the top and front panel, using this black and yellow honeycomb design, which was CNC machined, it actually looks pretty cool. He also built an entire power supply shroud, any vertical GPU mount from scratch nicely done. You know it’s been a while, since we’ve seen a black in yellow build, and I think that Dennis did a fantastic job balancing the colors. We got the perfect amount of black and yellow, with subtle, white and gray accents on the tables to compliment a build. I think it was a great choice going with the frosted tubes from alpha cool. I personally think these look way cooler than the regular ptg tubing that we see everywhere and speaking of tubing.
I love how he kept them in the background and made them all parallel with each other super super clean job and finally, the cable management in the back is just as clean as the front. In fact, the cable management in the back here is better than most of the pcs I’ve seen on the show. This is a perfect example that you don’t need a bunch of RGB to create a badass-looking rig, but the main downside to pcs with no lighting is that they are not visible in low light.
Excellent build and Thank You Dennis for blessing our eyeballs with this. Speaking of RGB, this bill from Joe is the complete opposite. We got RGB for breakfast lunch and dinner, possibly even dessert.
This system is built for browsing the web as he states in the notes, with quotation marks. Whatever he’s browsing online, it’s definitely not my videos considering. He only saw one episode of setup wars in the past two months.
You haven’t even watched my house tour. Don’T you want to know where the magic happens, so the PC has a 9700 caddy with 32 gigs of ram and the msi r-tx 2080 gaming xtreme GPU definitely overkill just for browsing the web. So there’s a couple things. I noticed the first thing which I haven’t seen in 8 years of building pcs a case with two rear fan supports and four in the front. What sorcery is this? So I had to look this case up. It’S called dark flash phantom and it actually comes at eight of these RGB fans already pre-installed, not bad.
I think it’s going for a 120 bucks right now on Newegg. This PC definitely has the power, but it’s lacking in the cosmetic department, and here are some of my recommendations. First off the green PCB on the m2 SSD sticks out like a sore thumb.
What you can do is buy a black heatsink off Amazon. This thing cost only six dollars, it’s super cheap and you can basically stick it right on top of your m2 Drive. I did this for the Rolly build, but I in my in white that way blends in with the motherboard.
It’S a really easy and cheap way of covering that I’m not too driving your PC. Second, I notice that you’re using psu extensions for the GPU, but don’t have any for the 24 pin and the CPU cables up top. Also, I wouldn’t use zip ties on those cables use cable combs.
Instead, they usually come with extensions that you buy any look a lot better. The cables behind the PC are decent. Maybe if you watch more setup horse videos, you would have better cable management.
Just saying, overall, it’s not a terrible build with some minor tweaks on the cosmetic side of things. I think this can be a very good-looking RGB build. Thank you Joe for entering.
Last but not least, we have Kenneth from Australia and mini Reds brother from another mother. He too used the beautiful antic striker case and built a custom water-cooled system in it. However, he built his way before I did mine.
You know I’m always excited I’m looking at different builds using the same case. I did because I get to see how other builders did their loops. The biggest difference between his build and mine is that he isn’t using a massive digital plate and instead he threw in dual 240ml radiators and a tiny reservoir in the front. This is, in my opinion, a better configuration for cooling, since he does use the PC as his main. Also the CPU and GPU combo here makes more sense. He got the 9700 KF with 32 gigs of ram and the asus strix 20 80 TI.
So definitely no thermal throttling present. I’M also happy to see a smaller power supply under here, which is what I should have done with my build. But what I’ve personally gone with a full set of custom cables, or at least throw in a few more extensions for the CPU and GPU cables. I think if you throw in some pink and purple custom cables, it would work perfectly with the retro color scheme that you’re going with and it would blend in a lot better with your entire setup, which I hope you submitted for setup boards, because I want to See more pics of this overall, another beautiful build inside a beautiful case.
Thank You, Kenneth for entering, and that is it for this episode of PC Wars. As always, you guys can vote in the comments section or click on the poll on the top right and let me know who has the best PC from this episode. If you guys enjoy the show. Let me know by leaving a like, and I will try and alternate this with set up boards. So every Monday, every other Monday will be set up ORS and in every other, alternating Monday will be PC, or is that way, there’s some type of show happening. Every single Monday, for you guys but anyways, I love you beautiful armpits.
Thank you so much for watching. I will see you in the next article .
