My New Christmas PC

[snuffy]

My Christmas PC project is now complete:





It's pretty much all new;

3900XT CPU

Asus TUG Gaming X570 (WiFi) Motherboard

Corsair H115i Cooler.

64GB Corsair 3600Mhz RAM (2x32GB).

Corsair Carbide SPEC-OMEGA RGB case.

Corsair 750RM PSU (I already had one of those, but as my PC is one 16 hours a day, every day, I thought it best to get a new one).

Existing : 1 PCIe M.2 drive, 1 SATA M.2, 2 x SSDs and 2 x HDDs (2GB and 3GB).

3 x 32" QHD AOC Monitors.

RTX2060 GPU

It took some fiddling to get it all to fit, and a few BIOS settings to get everything to work as it should.

Now I'm toying in with a new system drive (980 Pro as opposed a 970 Pro at present). And maybe take it to 128GB of RAM (I run a lot of VMs for work).

And I rather like the RGB stuff !

Is there no 'Christmas' theme/pattern for the RGB?

There's more patters to choose from than you can shake a stick at !

But I suspect if I'd have suggested to the missus we don't bother buying a tree and instead put my new toy in it's place it would not have gone down well !!

Cancel your internet contract and spend your days looking at the new toy

I think I went a bit overboard with ARGB fans for mine (don't really think I need that much cooling/airflow)...as I've got 6 Corsair ones in total...3x120mm front, 1x120mm rear, 2x120mm on the H100i Platinum on the top.

The only thing (visible) in there that doesn't have RGB is the Zotac 3070, which just has Zotac lit up in white (and not controllable as far as I can see).

You are a bit fan-tastic there !

I've just got 2 x 120mm case fans (plus the cooler's 2 x 140 of course).

And I ordered a 980 Pro 500GB drive last night as well so I will do a clean install of Windows, which is what I should have done to start with really instead of just swapping the old machine's one over to the new machine.
