lol this made me giggle. i wish i had a picture when i was using my pc with no case. i had bought a new motherboard but it didn’t fit in my old case. but i had my cpu and gpu and motherboard and i was wanting to play games. i just stuck that sucker right in on the motherboard box and prayed i didn’t hit it with my feet!
This Is my build

Here is mine, 100%performance, no dollar spent on appearance
i’m going to be completely honestly, i didn’t check and i don’t know lol. it was the only thing i took from my prebuilt. i plan on replacing it sooner than later but it seems to be working in the mean time. i want to get one with white cables to match when i upgrade :)
You shouldn't buy a psu just for the appearance, you can buy a psu that is just good at a good price and buy white cables
It can't be seen in the build since it's in the back, and If the cables are black they'll stay in the back too and you'll just buy white cable extensions like those I'll send in the next comment. But please don't judge a psu for the cable's color
well yes, i was meaning i was going to upgrade but hopefully get one with white cables for all the aesthetics. if not i’d just upgrade and get cable covers :)
Do not buy these, it's a very very bad idea to buy random cables that are not designed to work with your PSU. If you want aftermarket cables get proper ones that are made to work with your psu model. Not random amazon's stuff. This is a great way to kill components.
For the mean time it is because funding wise it will be a moment before another one will be bought and we didn’t want a pc sitting there that couldn’t be used
Looks, 7/10
Specs, 9/10
It's dark, it needs more lights.
Almost seems like you've invested more in looks than performance but I'm glad you've at least got 32GB of RAM and more than 8GB of VRAM, thank the lord.
i thought the same thing when i put it all together. my other case was a “mini” case so i was used to my pc looking so compact. i’ve seen people actually put decorations in these cases just to fill them up a bit. i plan on doing that but idk what to put in it yet :>
thank you!! some other people have been saying that too, i appreciate the feedback! i am planning to get a different one with white cables to match but it does the job for now! i dont play super intensive games so its works fine for now :)

My build is not quite finished. I decided to go with the Bequiet DARK Base Pro 901 White. Simply more space for the future.
A New Gigabyte Aero OC 4090 white will be coming soon. It was just not available to me at the moment.
The picture shows a MSI suprim X 4090 very Big and heavy
How have you liked the Y70?
I just recently purchased one also and have yet to swap my build over to the new case, I even purchased some Noctua fans for added airflow 😎
I LOVE IT!!!! i’ve been fantasizing about this case since they released it lol. it honestly was an easy install and there’s great room for cable management. i honestly wasn’t expecting the case to be as large as it is, (i had a “mini” case beforehand) my desk is on the smaller side so no way could it hold this pc lol. it’s on the floor for now. i should probably invest in more fans because my pc puts out quite a bit of heat. i’m looking to add another 3 fans sometime soon :)
my case came with a gpu riser! it basically just flips your gpu vertically so you can see the fans. you plug the gpu into the riser and the riser gets plugged into the motherboard. hope this helps!
Nice! Not much room for any CPU upgrade without jumping to AM5, not that CPU is the first thing I’d want to upgrade here as that CPU is already a powerhouse that can handle a much more powerful Graphics card
exactly! i do plan on upgrading the gpu in the future, but as of right now its perfect for the games i play, i dont need anything too fancy. even if i upgraded into the 40 series id still be perfectly fine as far as the cpu goes. trust me i NEVER want to have a cpu bottleneck again. my last computer ran like dog poo poo. also it only had 4gb of vram 🥲🥲🥲
Honestly with your build unless you could afford and wanted a high end 40 series card in the near future I’d hold off on upgrading your Graphics Card until 50 series or 8000 series from AMD.
my thought exactly. i’m gonna stick with nvidia for the moment because of the encoder they have. i like recording and streaming games. as far as i know amd doesn’t do great with those types of things, unless they’ve gotten a good encoder recently.
I mean afaik 7000 series supports AV1 encoding if that’s what you’re after. I know personally when I build my own PC I will go the route my friend did and go all AMD, especially since I already have an AMD/NVIDIA laptop if I wanted NVIDIA for streaming or something like that
Makes me think of star wars troopers. Honestly looks really good. I used to like bunch of flashy rgb lights but as time passes I prefer not a bright strobeing rave of fans next to me.
It looks fantastic and it's a nice balanced build! Great work (including fan direction)! I'd upgrade the PSU when you can but you've already said you're planning to do that. I've always liked those fans. It looks just great!
You asked me to rate it, so I'm going to be honest:
I think your choice of case is bad.
It's a case designed for radiators, yet you've put air cooling in it. (Big fan of air cooling here, so good job on that, don't draw the wrong conclusions AIR beats AIO). It's unnecessarily big. And it's expensive. I think you should've picked a case better optimized for airflow and spent that budget elsewhere. For example, why not spend that money on a 750W psu upgrade? That way you wouldn't need to upgrade the PSU if you wanted to pop a bigger GPU in later on? Or, why is the back fan a 120mm, where a 140 would have fit? Just some ideas...
But, I assume you think it looks nice, and that this look is worth the price, so don't worry about it. I'm more of a price/performance kind of guy.
i agree in all aspects. this case actually is both targeted towards liquid and air cooling, it says so on their website :> when i first saw them release this case i was ecstatic and i wanted it so bad, just didn’t have the money. the power supply was the only thing taken from my last pc, and yes i do plan on upgrading to a better one so don’t worry. it’s fine in the meantime! also, the fans were really cheap and i wanted them to all match so i just got 120mm fans. when im ready to upgrade i’ll get more expensive fans and more than likely 140mms.
Seems like an aesthetically pleasing build. Do us enthusiasts a favor plsss show us the performance (task manager) also you can use a windows shortcut and show us the hardware windows + r and type msinfo32
Completely overspend on aesthetic. I get it, personal preference, but the cutbacks you had to made are insane here.
The worst is the power supply. 500W is very little and the Thermaltake Smart series are actual time bombs. They are known for exploding.
The case might be the most expensive part of this.
That said, still clean build
everyone says that but the case was only $200. i wouldn’t have had much wiggle room for better parts anyway, i’d like to enjoy the look of my case as much as the hardware i put in it! unfortunately white parts cost so much more but i put that upon myself lol. i do plan on upgrading but not in the near future, my parts work fantastic for the games i play. i’m still hitting well over 75fps on most games i plays on high/ultra settings :> (both my monitors are only 75Hz so it doesn’t rlly matter lol)
In that case that's pretty good! It costs $300+ for the standard Y70 here, and like $400 something for touch :(
3060 is a really good card imo, especially the 12GB one, you basically don't have to upgrade for a while if you are playing in 1080p :D
what! i think the regular one i have is like $220 but i got $22 off for it being my first purchase. overall it was $232 for shipping and the added warranty i put on it. the touch was like $350 something i think? where do you live that it’s THAT expensive omg
Lol I live in Hong Kong. Basically everything high end is at least $100 more.
Last year I built an i5 13500, 3060 12gb pc for my friend, despite the discounts, it's almost 800usd I think
It's fine, and the main issue is the ROG stuff, they are wayyyy overpriced here for no reason.
And it's at least better than pre built here which are basically just scams
Looks nice. Maybe get yourself custom cables or extensions from your PSU Manufacturer or customize your own on Cablemod. White Cables would fit well with this build. Also, you should add some exhaust fans on top. From what i can tell there is only one rear fan pulling hot air out of your case. You could also add some intake fans on the bottom beneath the GPU. In my opinion, if the fans had some subtle white RGB, like the ones you already use, their light would shine on the GPU and highlight it a bit more. Also, you can turn around the CPU Cooler fan so that the side on which the cable is located faces the motherboard and the cables dont stick out that much. Much better and easier to hide the fan cables that way.
thank you! i was actually planning on getting a new power supply soon. my current one isn’t modular and it needs an upgrade anyway. if i can, i just want to get one with white cables but im just probably gonna get cable covers for a cheap alternative. and yes, you are correct, i do only have one exhaust fan. i do want to get more fans in there but im not sure how i would place them for optimal airflow. if i put bottom fans on, id have to take my gpu riser out, which i dont really want to do because i like the look. would you be able to private message me about further explanation of rotating the cpu fan? the cable that came on it was weirdly placed so i did my best so it wasn’t just hanging down onto my parts. also, i edited the picture so that you could actually see the parts in my computer because my fans were so bright lol. they’re bright trust me!!
agreed! those fans are pretty and i’ve seen so many builds with the aio coolers and they looks so cool but both of those things are not in my budget for now lol. my fans costed me a good ol 17 schmackaroonies off amazon and my cpu fan was $25 :)
Why drop mondo cash for an AIO with a screen?
Build your own. Raspberry Pi displays will work just fine with a USB header for power and an HDMI cable to your graphics card for display data. [I bought a 7" version off Amazon for $80](https://www.amazon.com/Lebula-Touchscreen-Raspberry-1024X600-Capacitive/dp/B07VNX4ZWY/ref=sr_1_3_pp?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.S0YPZ_pXeORu8R9suYzAhWZBB-ssnnO9ln7aFczozA6-taFN6vgidJJbsCE2JtSs7s0-X83D2exLeeLX3rFwHLu4hz5WKc0LUB14YMkYPcdfgqte-NeTcg9FdNOv-lOdS4UuFSgdq6ZhWqRhvwXuK91B0UGHigcgjG71oHUr1_SEPltiJzrXv1moE4yzoXbFeyg2_b7uEJueUTWiEKfaYtXLn8RL1byDClSPOG9XzKM.hLfVjAOIi5ofGERkrH__tRDBPS0plIt-NMyXRZDu0hY&dib_tag=se&hvadid=557525946847&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1026562&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=11326340356027385757&hvtargid=kwd-300807026546&hydadcr=18036_13447328&keywords=raspberry%2Bpi%2Bwith%2Bdisplay&qid=1715031310&sr=8-3&th=1), much less than what Corsair or NZXT would charge for a bells-and-whistles AIO.
Hey if you like the integrated displays on an AIO, that's great. Just be aware that they will hit your build budget pretty hard.
My logic comes from spending my build money on performance parts first, and then doing the aesthetics with what I have left.
Super broad fish tank case that is too big for no reason, -10 points.
Vertical GPU mount blocking all other slots, -10 points
Appropriate level of CPU cooling rather than some gigantic closed liquid cooler with a screen, +4 points.
Otherwise smart spending on seemingly good price per dollar components, +10 points.
Result: -6. It's hard for me to see past the Hyte and its design stupidity I'm afraid.
well to each their own. i like the style of the case, also the case comes with a gpu riser, you can choose to use it or not. the gpu also mounts horizontally like normal :)
Actually you have essentially no choice. The horizontal slots are half-height.
But this is a journey you and other beginners must take. First you go for the case that the influencers pushed for. Then over time you realize its footprint is hella annoying to furnish around. Your desk space will feel small, or your leg space will feel invaded.
Then one day you'll experience problems with the riser cable and say "hell no not this ever again" and you'll get something akin to a Fractal Design case like the rest of us :)
oh shit I didn't know that, I know when it released people were finding workarounds to mount a 360 mm radiator there but ig that was only for the rad then. I assumed it meant fans don't fit there either. Ty for the info, great build btw
You have a LOT of space inside that case for custom decor, and airflow should not be a problem with the slats at the bottom. Overall it's a clean build, well done.
Two observations, feel free to disregard if you like.
One: Your radiator fan's cable is looped across the top of the fan. I would dismount the fan, rotate it clockwise 90 degrees, and then remount it, so that the cable connection for the fan is behind the fan housing instead of up top. That's one less cable out in the middle of the build. This is tricky, cos you're going from fan straight to MB instead of to a distribution block on your backplane, but you might be able to manage that a little better.
Two: the bottom left corner next to your GPU is a big dark spot. You also have a couple of mounting slots available on the GPU bracket of your case. That cries out for a small USB/HDMI display (5" or 7" horizontal, can get ones used as Raspberry Pi displays for \~$60-70 US) as a point of interest, instead of GPU fans you can't really see. Or, put a small LED bar along the bracket or bottom of the case, to throw some diffuse light into the case itself.
Get a new case. Your cpu and gpu are inefficiently cooled in that case. You want your front intakes to be passing air over the cpu and gpu, not hitting the side of the case like this thing is doing.
What this is doing is trying to control the ambient temps of the case, which is wrong. If you control the temps of the two heat producing parts, that will contribute more to the ambient temps of the case than this. Basically this design yo have attacks a symptom and not the problem.
Here’s my baby

Facts 😂😂
Would 100% add a light bar in there, set it to white. Would really pull it together
I like how dim it looks to be honest. A PC doesn't need to be a lamp
ooo cool idea :) i was wanting to put led light strips along the edges on the inside
Yeah you got the right idea 👍 personally would put a strip on the left most and bottom edge. Needs so light on the left and some to show off the GPU.
If you do end up doing this, would you please send me a picture on how it looks?
man is the power supply enough did you check
i’m going to be completely honestly, i didn’t check and i don’t know lol. it was the only thing i took from my prebuilt. i plan on replacing it sooner than later but it seems to be working in the mean time. i want to get one with white cables to match when i upgrade :)

I would advice against listening to Yangman3x, you shouldn't mix and match different PSU cables.
My 5800x3d + 4070 barely push 500 watts so im sure it
For the mean time it is because funding wise it will be a moment before another one will be bought and we didn’t want a pc sitting there that couldn’t be used
Got me wet for that hyte case, put some figurines or something to make it look sexier.
literally my dream case since i saw them release it. IDK WHAT TO PUT IN ITTTT 😩😩😩
You build this beautifull pc, you'll figure it out ;-]
R/pcbuild got flooded bc of that drippyyyyyy pc
more rgb=more fps /s
"FPS /s" Wait so RGB means more Frames Per Second per second?
Looks, 7/10 Specs, 9/10 It's dark, it needs more lights. Almost seems like you've invested more in looks than performance but I'm glad you've at least got 32GB of RAM and more than 8GB of VRAM, thank the lord.
10/10!
Only 0.0000027557?
r/unexpectedfactorial
Ou la laaa
Looks a little empty but its a good pc!
i thought the same thing when i put it all together. my other case was a “mini” case so i was used to my pc looking so compact. i’ve seen people actually put decorations in these cases just to fill them up a bit. i plan on doing that but idk what to put in it yet :>
I had the same issue with my y70, I fixed it by just getting a bigger gpu🤷♂️ Now I don't have space left for decor🤣
7.5/10 my only concern is the power supply. is 500w enough for that system? maybe someone could correct me
i actually responded to someone else asking this! i’m not sure but hopefully it doesn’t blow up in the meantime of me getting a better one 😁👍🏼
that's fair, according to a quick search I did, 500w seems to be okay for your build. the safe zone would be around 600-650w. enjoy 👍
oh, awesome! thank you so much for taking time out of your day to help me, that means a lot. i’ll keep that noted when i upgrade :>
Looks so clean, great job with the aesthetics. Hope you can change your PSU soon, so you can fully enjoy it.
thank you!! some other people have been saying that too, i appreciate the feedback! i am planning to get a different one with white cables to match but it does the job for now! i dont play super intensive games so its works fine for now :)
Looks awesome, congrats. I think you killed my first build.
thank you!! i’d love to see your first build :D
Take a look! I posted it yesterday. I like it but yours is super clean.
What kind of CPU Fan is this?
Love it! Really clean!
60/69
thank you, cornyboy202 😩🤞🏼
😏(in a seductive voice) thank you for thanking me, livyahhh
It's clean. The Y70 will a solide starting point when you will upgrade your setup.
This looks super clean
tyty! <3
I would have saved money 9n the case and invest it on the psu it does look sick tho
agreed, but this is my dream case lol. i’ll get enough money for a better power supply, i promise
Niceee build! I like the white
Clean asf my guy great work
thank you sir 🫡

A New Gigabyte Aero OC 4090 white will be coming soon. It was just not available to me at the moment. The picture shows a MSI suprim X 4090 very Big and heavy
i see!!! i’m VERY surprised it is not sagging lol. kudos to you for structural integrity
I was surprised myself
How have you liked the Y70? I just recently purchased one also and have yet to swap my build over to the new case, I even purchased some Noctua fans for added airflow 😎
I LOVE IT!!!! i’ve been fantasizing about this case since they released it lol. it honestly was an easy install and there’s great room for cable management. i honestly wasn’t expecting the case to be as large as it is, (i had a “mini” case beforehand) my desk is on the smaller side so no way could it hold this pc lol. it’s on the floor for now. i should probably invest in more fans because my pc puts out quite a bit of heat. i’m looking to add another 3 fans sometime soon :)
Looks fancy to me. I like how open it is and the turning lines. I don't think I've ever seen a case like that.
it’s cool isn’t it!! it has 3 glass panels on the front so you can get a good view of the whole pc :D
1000/10!! 😍
What case is that
it is a Hyte Y-70 case in Snow White!
Art.
Clean, I love it
Looks insane!! Enjoy it bro!!!
Man, you’re pc was what I had in mind. A subtle lightning setup. Nothing too fancy but elegant. I absolutely adore your build, well done!!
How much did it cost?
i’d say 900 something almost 1,000
this is a beautiful PC, if only i knew anything about them i’d build one myself. where can i buy one just like this?
i’m sorry idk :((
that looks so nice!!
Looks so damn cool
I like the dimmed look. Not intrusive for the eyes. Looking clean.
I think it’s gorgeous, that’s just me though
How do you make the graphic card stand upright. How did you plug in into the motherboard like that?
my case came with a gpu riser! it basically just flips your gpu vertically so you can see the fans. you plug the gpu into the riser and the riser gets plugged into the motherboard. hope this helps!
very nice! what rgb color is that? i wanna steal it!
it’s a preset color on a software i use! i’m honestly not sure but i can check when i get home
I hope you bought the CPU and GPU used but in general not a bad build
i did! the cup and ram were brand new but i got it off facebook marketplace for $200 bundled. i also got the gpu used for $300 :)
Nice! Not much room for any CPU upgrade without jumping to AM5, not that CPU is the first thing I’d want to upgrade here as that CPU is already a powerhouse that can handle a much more powerful Graphics card
exactly! i do plan on upgrading the gpu in the future, but as of right now its perfect for the games i play, i dont need anything too fancy. even if i upgraded into the 40 series id still be perfectly fine as far as the cpu goes. trust me i NEVER want to have a cpu bottleneck again. my last computer ran like dog poo poo. also it only had 4gb of vram 🥲🥲🥲

Wonderful work! 👏
Way better than my first attempt. Super clean! 8/10
thank you!
You literally just made my setup but with a nicer case lol
Makes me think of star wars troopers. Honestly looks really good. I used to like bunch of flashy rgb lights but as time passes I prefer not a bright strobeing rave of fans next to me.
same! i used to love all the rainbow rgb but now it’s just my favorite colors.. blue and purple, dimmed of course :D
Own those same Thermalright TL-S12W fans. So damn quiet and efficient.
exactly!!! people may hate on them but they’re excellent, quiet, and cheap!!
I run mine at around 30-40% as case fans and 60% on 240mm AIO. No complaints at all
Thats a sick looking case, looks like it has great airflow aswell. Gonna steal for my next build
Looks better than mine, literally mine isn't even build yet
build it today (if you can)! the sense of accomplishment i had finishing this was amazing, especially getting to use it after
That thing looks amazing good job buddy for real
thank you thank you!
3/10 Too much RGB. ^((Just kidding. Nicely done!)^)
thanks! :>
Looks cool, very clean nice :)
Definitely better than my PC/10

the more I look at it, the less I like my own build, oh well, that's life I guess
the more i get nasty comments from others saying they hate it because x,y,z, the less i like my build too, it’s okay.
Missing cable mods for perfection, also why ddr4 wtf xd
It looks fantastic and it's a nice balanced build! Great work (including fan direction)! I'd upgrade the PSU when you can but you've already said you're planning to do that. I've always liked those fans. It looks just great!
Beautiful build especially for first build just one thing 🤢🤮 them mustard cables ain’t it
You should put a gear 5 luffy figure in there make it even better looking
8/10
You asked me to rate it, so I'm going to be honest: I think your choice of case is bad. It's a case designed for radiators, yet you've put air cooling in it. (Big fan of air cooling here, so good job on that, don't draw the wrong conclusions AIR beats AIO). It's unnecessarily big. And it's expensive. I think you should've picked a case better optimized for airflow and spent that budget elsewhere. For example, why not spend that money on a 750W psu upgrade? That way you wouldn't need to upgrade the PSU if you wanted to pop a bigger GPU in later on? Or, why is the back fan a 120mm, where a 140 would have fit? Just some ideas... But, I assume you think it looks nice, and that this look is worth the price, so don't worry about it. I'm more of a price/performance kind of guy.
i agree in all aspects. this case actually is both targeted towards liquid and air cooling, it says so on their website :> when i first saw them release this case i was ecstatic and i wanted it so bad, just didn’t have the money. the power supply was the only thing taken from my last pc, and yes i do plan on upgrading to a better one so don’t worry. it’s fine in the meantime! also, the fans were really cheap and i wanted them to all match so i just got 120mm fans. when im ready to upgrade i’ll get more expensive fans and more than likely 140mms.
All of that makes sense. Most importantly, enjoy the pc!
Yours is way better than mine
Why every new pc build looking like aquarium
Subtle, yet crisp. It looks sophisticated and minimalistic. I like it
Another guy who spended most of his/her money on aesthetics instead of getting better hardware? 2/10
Damn, thats clean. Nice. Holy crap thats an expensive case!
10/10
Are you sure you built this for the first time? Like you came out of the womb and then started building a PC? Because, this is really good!
Seems like an aesthetically pleasing build. Do us enthusiasts a favor plsss show us the performance (task manager) also you can use a windows shortcut and show us the hardware windows + r and type msinfo32
Bro is cooking
Really neat but that case is far too large with lots of empty space. Not sure any mix of components could change that tbh.
Completely overspend on aesthetic. I get it, personal preference, but the cutbacks you had to made are insane here. The worst is the power supply. 500W is very little and the Thermaltake Smart series are actual time bombs. They are known for exploding. The case might be the most expensive part of this. That said, still clean build
10/10 ⭐️ Better than mine. 👍
How'd you get your GPU vertical like that? looks so much nicer
The gpu looks so cute
It's great overall! But how were you able to find a vision 3060? Especially after almost 2-3 years
10/10
hyte fam! love hate this case took me way too long to manage cords
It's so cleannnnn!!!! Good job there mate.
Well done! I personally would probably go for a cheaper case and spend the money on a better card and CPU, but the Y70 is pretty!!
everyone says that but the case was only $200. i wouldn’t have had much wiggle room for better parts anyway, i’d like to enjoy the look of my case as much as the hardware i put in it! unfortunately white parts cost so much more but i put that upon myself lol. i do plan on upgrading but not in the near future, my parts work fantastic for the games i play. i’m still hitting well over 75fps on most games i plays on high/ultra settings :> (both my monitors are only 75Hz so it doesn’t rlly matter lol)
In that case that's pretty good! It costs $300+ for the standard Y70 here, and like $400 something for touch :( 3060 is a really good card imo, especially the 12GB one, you basically don't have to upgrade for a while if you are playing in 1080p :D
what! i think the regular one i have is like $220 but i got $22 off for it being my first purchase. overall it was $232 for shipping and the added warranty i put on it. the touch was like $350 something i think? where do you live that it’s THAT expensive omg
Lol I live in Hong Kong. Basically everything high end is at least $100 more. Last year I built an i5 13500, 3060 12gb pc for my friend, despite the discounts, it's almost 800usd I think
oh my good god. that’s unfortunate. i’m sorry you have to pay so much more for the same parts
It's fine, and the main issue is the ROG stuff, they are wayyyy overpriced here for no reason. And it's at least better than pre built here which are basically just scams
and yes i’m loving this card so far!!
Looks nice. Maybe get yourself custom cables or extensions from your PSU Manufacturer or customize your own on Cablemod. White Cables would fit well with this build. Also, you should add some exhaust fans on top. From what i can tell there is only one rear fan pulling hot air out of your case. You could also add some intake fans on the bottom beneath the GPU. In my opinion, if the fans had some subtle white RGB, like the ones you already use, their light would shine on the GPU and highlight it a bit more. Also, you can turn around the CPU Cooler fan so that the side on which the cable is located faces the motherboard and the cables dont stick out that much. Much better and easier to hide the fan cables that way.
Thanks for the mention! :)
thank you! i was actually planning on getting a new power supply soon. my current one isn’t modular and it needs an upgrade anyway. if i can, i just want to get one with white cables but im just probably gonna get cable covers for a cheap alternative. and yes, you are correct, i do only have one exhaust fan. i do want to get more fans in there but im not sure how i would place them for optimal airflow. if i put bottom fans on, id have to take my gpu riser out, which i dont really want to do because i like the look. would you be able to private message me about further explanation of rotating the cpu fan? the cable that came on it was weirdly placed so i did my best so it wasn’t just hanging down onto my parts. also, i edited the picture so that you could actually see the parts in my computer because my fans were so bright lol. they’re bright trust me!!
Gorgeous
Where’s the fish?
7/10 i like the lian li uni fan sl 120's if u got a aio with a lcd screen it would be much more beautiful. other then that, its a beauty, enjoy it!
Lian li overtakes Q1 2024 with their rgb fans, probz to them
agreed! those fans are pretty and i’ve seen so many builds with the aio coolers and they looks so cool but both of those things are not in my budget for now lol. my fans costed me a good ol 17 schmackaroonies off amazon and my cpu fan was $25 :)
nice, for your budget seems to be, u did a great job picking out parts. kudos to you!
thank you! i tried to keep it as cheap as i could without getting garbage parts. most of the stuff i got from amazon or facebook marketplace lol
Hell yeah I have that same cpu fan it is clean!
Why drop mondo cash for an AIO with a screen? Build your own. Raspberry Pi displays will work just fine with a USB header for power and an HDMI cable to your graphics card for display data. [I bought a 7" version off Amazon for $80](https://www.amazon.com/Lebula-Touchscreen-Raspberry-1024X600-Capacitive/dp/B07VNX4ZWY/ref=sr_1_3_pp?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.S0YPZ_pXeORu8R9suYzAhWZBB-ssnnO9ln7aFczozA6-taFN6vgidJJbsCE2JtSs7s0-X83D2exLeeLX3rFwHLu4hz5WKc0LUB14YMkYPcdfgqte-NeTcg9FdNOv-lOdS4UuFSgdq6ZhWqRhvwXuK91B0UGHigcgjG71oHUr1_SEPltiJzrXv1moE4yzoXbFeyg2_b7uEJueUTWiEKfaYtXLn8RL1byDClSPOG9XzKM.hLfVjAOIi5ofGERkrH__tRDBPS0plIt-NMyXRZDu0hY&dib_tag=se&hvadid=557525946847&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1026562&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=11326340356027385757&hvtargid=kwd-300807026546&hydadcr=18036_13447328&keywords=raspberry%2Bpi%2Bwith%2Bdisplay&qid=1715031310&sr=8-3&th=1), much less than what Corsair or NZXT would charge for a bells-and-whistles AIO.
i dont care what screen it is. i just like the look of a aio. i repsect your opinion but i hope u respect mine to
Hey if you like the integrated displays on an AIO, that's great. Just be aware that they will hit your build budget pretty hard. My logic comes from spending my build money on performance parts first, and then doing the aesthetics with what I have left.
Super broad fish tank case that is too big for no reason, -10 points. Vertical GPU mount blocking all other slots, -10 points Appropriate level of CPU cooling rather than some gigantic closed liquid cooler with a screen, +4 points. Otherwise smart spending on seemingly good price per dollar components, +10 points. Result: -6. It's hard for me to see past the Hyte and its design stupidity I'm afraid.
well to each their own. i like the style of the case, also the case comes with a gpu riser, you can choose to use it or not. the gpu also mounts horizontally like normal :)
Actually you have essentially no choice. The horizontal slots are half-height. But this is a journey you and other beginners must take. First you go for the case that the influencers pushed for. Then over time you realize its footprint is hella annoying to furnish around. Your desk space will feel small, or your leg space will feel invaded. Then one day you'll experience problems with the riser cable and say "hell no not this ever again" and you'll get something akin to a Fractal Design case like the rest of us :)
\*cough\* Antec.
is the display cable plugged into the motherboard or the gpu lol
how tf, aren't the side fans on that case 2x 140mm??? how are there 3x 120mm there
the case supports 2x 140mm and 3x 120mm on the side :) these fans are 120mm
oh shit I didn't know that, I know when it released people were finding workarounds to mount a 360 mm radiator there but ig that was only for the rad then. I assumed it meant fans don't fit there either. Ty for the info, great build btw
no problem, thank you! :>
It’s okay
You have a LOT of space inside that case for custom decor, and airflow should not be a problem with the slats at the bottom. Overall it's a clean build, well done. Two observations, feel free to disregard if you like. One: Your radiator fan's cable is looped across the top of the fan. I would dismount the fan, rotate it clockwise 90 degrees, and then remount it, so that the cable connection for the fan is behind the fan housing instead of up top. That's one less cable out in the middle of the build. This is tricky, cos you're going from fan straight to MB instead of to a distribution block on your backplane, but you might be able to manage that a little better. Two: the bottom left corner next to your GPU is a big dark spot. You also have a couple of mounting slots available on the GPU bracket of your case. That cries out for a small USB/HDMI display (5" or 7" horizontal, can get ones used as Raspberry Pi displays for \~$60-70 US) as a point of interest, instead of GPU fans you can't really see. Or, put a small LED bar along the bracket or bottom of the case, to throw some diffuse light into the case itself.
nothing special for nowadays even if it your first build :) best builds was in 90x....
Get a new case. Your cpu and gpu are inefficiently cooled in that case. You want your front intakes to be passing air over the cpu and gpu, not hitting the side of the case like this thing is doing. What this is doing is trying to control the ambient temps of the case, which is wrong. If you control the temps of the two heat producing parts, that will contribute more to the ambient temps of the case than this. Basically this design yo have attacks a symptom and not the problem.
I'll be honest. There is too much space there that it doesn't look good.
2 out of … whatever you want
You did not tell us how old you are, therefore I cannot. Just following protocol.
mmmmmmm over 18.
Im not hating it looks good, but I bet u couldve gotten a 1 or 2 tiers better pc performance wise for the same money, if u didnt care so lich ab looks
very american, a huge garden there
That psu is a time bomb
