9. What's the best part of your rig?
Probably the custom water distribution channels and then second the color scheme (black, silver + purple).
10. Any dislikes, things you should not have bought?
Nope, I'm happy with how it has turned out if anything I want to do more to the build in the future :)
11. Did you modify anything? cases/video cards/other? Did you do it yourself? Walk us through it.
I had to modify (read cut up/hack) the case extensively to make way for the GPU cables as well as the water pass throughs going to the rear compartment. Then I designed both water channels (at the rear of the case and the large one on the motherboard tray) in CAD software and got them manufactured by a CNC company. The ROG logo was also laser cut (which I've attached to the large water channel). The build also has custom made cables as well as a custom designed GPU backplate.
12. Your 3DMark scores
Timespy got me 8701 points.
13. Do you have any future updates planned?
I'm not entirely happy with the temps as a result of using a single 240 rad (under load CPU around 75 C and GPU around 65 C), so im already trying to see how I can eloquently fit a second 240 rad in the bottom and still retain the clean look - so hopefully there will be a version 2.0 of my build. I'd also like to upgrade some of the hardware, maybe move to 9th gen Intel - but that means a new motherboard with 300 series chipset which means a new CPU water block as well...rtx is a bit pricey at the moment so will keep my 1080Ti for a while still
14. Does your rig or mod have a name?
I've decided to name it Purple_Rain - you know, falling purple liquid...everywhere:)
