Post your Rigs !

My first custom loop! Plenty of things I'd change in hindsight, but it'll do for now. System was built with regard to function, not form and cohesion. GPU temps have dropped 20+ C on load (hefty undervolt on air vs minor undervolt + decent overclock on water) and boosts much higher, but the main benefit comes from how quiet the system is under gaming and mining load. Rad fans are sensitive to GPU temps which is sub-optimal, but I wasn't able to source a coolant temp sensor. I was able to build in a drain port which can be accesed from the other side.

The Noctua A12x25, NZXT led strip and fan+rgb hub, 970 Evo Plus, and GPU water block were bought off TE. GPU was bought off hardwareswap on Reddit. I bought a 240mm rad off TE as well, but because I'm an idiot, I used screws that were too long and ended up piercing the rad channels. I bought a Bykski rad off MD Computers (shout out to them for stocking custom loop components and shipping stuff out fast) because it was the cheapest one I could find. Couldn't find 20mm screws so just took a dremel to the 30mm ones that came with the rad.

Enlightening (read: frustrating) build all in all. Also, lighting is just for show. I find it distracting and run my system blacked out generally. Next assignment, making my own PSU cables!

Current Rig Update 2021 -

Note - The camera doesn’t do justice to its actual view in person. In some pictures the RGB was too bright and had to tone down camera focus to get it somewhat right or to make it look good in focus.

Most of the parts are old and will be upgrading soon to 12th Gen mostly. Need to sell current stuff like cpu/mobo/ram/cooler and ‘maybe’ selling either gpus as currently the 3080 Ti is a bottleneck for my cpu (haven’t overclocked it yet).
Also waiting for the Corsair iCUE Elite LCD H170i Liquid Cooler to launch here (This should complete my build).
Side Note - Is anyone familiar with OC? Any help would be appreciated (maybe in person or you could help over video call).
I’m Mumbai based.

Thanks, man! The front logo and username are both machine cut carbon fiber stickers stuck on acrylic with an RGB lit box at the back. All custom DIY stuff. :)

Does 280hz make a diffrence compared to 144hz?

It might not matter much but when you do compare 144hz to 280hz even in game, You do see a difference. Games like VALO and CSGO is where this flourishes. My brother goes crazy playing valo on y monitor with 280hz as compared to 144hz on his monitor(LG27GL650F).
All said its an amazing experience and quite recommended if you play competitive but still fun otherwise.
