WOW very nice buid !

I have also the Meshify C case, with a nzxt x62 cooler, very nice how you did the tubes from the cooler, How is the hybrid card doing ? i bought 2 weeks ago this card also, but the pump was really making grinding noises, how is the noise to your card ? i did read reviews where people say its quiet, thats why i bought also, i did try everything to have less noise, ( changed position radiator/ shake radiator for airbubbles,ect ect) still loud pump noise, anyway i did send it back (rma) and im still thinking if i will take another one or go back to a aircooled evga.....its now almost 2 weeks im running on my build in gpu so no gaming :-( anyway great build ! i will try to do my tubs the same like you did with the nzxt 62 ;-) very nice !

Need to change my pants... stunning!!! +99

First of WOW. This is a trophy of a build...

Where did you place the phantek leds? Around the top 2 fans?

Looks super clean and want to get a similar effect on my build that has similar parts.

wow, its like a Tron theme build. nice rig dude!

WANT

Damn nice rig and setup! +9000

Up until this point i believed that perfection was not achievable. °_o

Bro you have a lot of the same stuff I do, you must have excellent taste like me ;)

This is a kick-*** build. Also, good on you for not using a solid front panel case, otherwise you wouldn't have had the worse temps you have now(I am looking at you Enthoo Evolv)

Hands down. Conrats on your feature mate!

looks simple but its a Beast and thank you for not killing it with a S H I T ton of RGBs love the build +1

good , same build than mine but i took the Asus Rog Maximus X hero wifi ac , 1 TB Samsung Evo M1-2280 , and Fractal design define C TG ... praticly everything the same even the thermal paste lol ok well have a different power supply detail ...

you did a good job , compact Atx mid tower ,look great ... cant wait to finish mine. Im expecting to delid relid with the rockit 88.

Hey! How is the NZXT Kraken x62 holding up? I was going to order it but someone told me they had problems with the software. Might have just been a faulty one? Almost done ordering parts. Just need to decide on AIO for CPU and a tull tower airflow case.

my 8700k came in today!!

Damn... i would spend something like R$ 20k (~ US$ 6000) to build a rig like this one here in Brazil :'( Great build, i love corsair peripherals and 8700k + 1080 Ti + 3200Mhz + 960 Evo ROCKS! Just missed a Void 7.1 RGB Pro and a MM800, then it would be PERFECTION! Congratulations, i hope you enjoy it a lot, gaming like crazy!

That feeling when you want to transfer your hardware to the Meshify C but then see someone have the exact same hardware (well visually at least) as you do in the Meshify C.

I even usually have the LEDs set to blue/white . Here's my current setup in red/green -> https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc2rluonfPG/?hl=en&taken-by=exidrial

The stuff currently is in the Corsair 570X and it's mostly the same as yours except that I have a 980Ti, ax860i PSU and different storage.

I'm planning to go with some Aer RGB fans for my Meshify build, which isn't too overkill on the LEDs because I usually have the Gaming 7's PCIe and RAM LEDs disabled.

At least I now know that my hardware will look sick in the Meshify C!

Franchement, c'est super beau ! Par contre dommage pour les températures, je pense que tu vas devoir Delid ton CPU :/

Whats wrong with the aorus bord? Sexy build btw +1

Awesome build man! I've always had a soft spot for that case, it looks great! Also, imo, you can't go wrong with trident + kracken... it's just so classy. Well done!

Regarding the warranty on your 8700k and your comfort level for delidding... you've already voided your warranty by overclocking. The minute you overclock, the warranty is voided. Your only option is to purchase Intel's Performance Tuning Plan, which is purchasing an insurance rather than extending your warranty -- explicitly NOT the same thing. So, yea, go ahead! Delid my man! You're in danger zone anyway :) (like most of us) hehe

https://click.intel.com/tuningplan/faq

What is the Performance Tuning Protection Plan? The Performance Tuning Protection Plan is an additional plan that a customer can purchase to cover processor failures caused by operating the eligible processor outside of Intel’s published specifications.

Why is Intel offering the Performance Tuning Protection Plan? Intel has received feedback from customers who want to implement overclocking on eligible processors, that because of the lack of any replacement coverage for the eligible processors, the risk of overclocking is too great. We understand this position, and while we cannot endorse overclocking, we want to provide a limited remedy if issues arise as a result of their decision to enable overclocking. The limited remedy consists of a replacement processor (i.e., replacing the processor damaged solely as a result of the overclocking).

It is this discovery that led me to be comfortable with delidding :)

Sorry if already stated, but does the motherboard include wireless wifi or do you need to install it?

This looks FANTASTIC ! Such great ambiance. What is your lighting up top ? +1.

Thanks for posting thermals/clocks/voltages.

Congrats!! You have no idea how happy your build made me! I’m looking for this very exact build! Thank you so much!!

Gpu- how do you like it? What made you choose that over the AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme Edition 11G? I’m debating between the two.

Ram- I am new to PCs so I have a hard time understanding this. Pc is mainly for counter strike and other fps games. Also, homework, streaming, and small editing videos. I was going to go with 32GB 3600 memory with the lowest latency. Main goal with build is fastes fps on fps games. What is better? Faster ram or slowe ram with lower latency? Also, I’m I losing performance by going with 32 GB instead of 16GB?

I was also planning on delidding and overclocking cpu. Do you think that aio is good enough to keep it cool? I’ll be over clocking gpu as well.

I pre ordered 8700k already. Now I finally know what to order!! Thank you!! Super pumped right now. Never seen that case before but it is perfect for me! I didn’t like all the fancy cases that compriseded ventilation for aesthetics.

Do you have a YouTube video by any chance? Any other links regarding this awesome build, I would love.

Looks awesome man , consider it a compliment but i feel bad for you spending 40 bucks on cables you almost can't see !

+1 easily

Oh man that's nice.

Great Job + Have fun!

this number of ram (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) isnt in ram list its works fine to you ?

Cleanest build ever, this deserves a feature imo, never saw a build that clean.

Great clean build. Meshify C is one of the cases i prefer.

That case looks awesome! Very nice build.

Hello, nice build. I want to purchase the same MB as you and am wondering if you are having any issues with the 2X16GB of TridentZ ddr4 3200 ram and controlling it through fusion?

I am reading everywhere that there are issues with this, can you please give me your thoughts.

I too want to get 2 X 16GB and leave me headroom for another 16gb eventually and also I read that with two dimms it is easier to overclock but the control of the RAM RGB is worrying me?

Were you running the 1080ti with your 4790k before? If so, how much of a performance increase are you seeing in games with the 8700k compared with the old processor?

If your planning on changing your motherboard, as well as adding a custom loop, you should probably wait on the Maximus X Formula. Sick build though :)

Absolutely gorgeous build, I myself have interest in using the meshify c along with the kraken x62, can you tell me what fans you used at the top of the case?

Once again gorgeous build.

Hi, nice build. Talking about voiding warranty.... overclocking / "altering frequency" voids the warranty . It clearly says that on the CPU box. So delidding shouldn't be too much hassle as you've already voided the warranty :))

What does the delid kit do? Obviously remove the lid of the cpu, but what benifits are there?

Cleanest meshify c case I've seen! very nice build man.

What are the numbers on RGB for the color in picture 3? I think it looks really nice.

Great looking build, btw

this is a very nice build it looks soo cool i love it

Wait did you send $97 on thermal paste? Am I the only one who sees this?

I love t he way you curled your Kraken's tubing. Slick case choice as well. Clean cable management, excellent and subtle lighting, what's not to love? +1!

dat color matching tho

this build is the nicest build I have ever seen. +1

nice rig

Nice build, very similar to mine

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GzfvPs

https://imgur.com/a/gUas8 (my GPU has blinding lights making it impossible to get a good picture)

I had my cooler's tubes like yours but preferred them off to the side instead. I would have got RGB Tridentz but used RAM from my previous build and with RAM prices being so high right now I didn't think it was worth the money just to get the same speed RAM with RGB lighting I don't really care about.

I mounted my RAD in the front, used the two included case fans for a back exhaust, bottom intake and purchased two additional be quiet pure wings 2 140mm as top exhaust.

8700K 5.0@1.285V, LLC Level 1, AVX Offset Set to 2 and RAM is running at it's full speed with XMP. Very happy with mine, gratz on your great build.

If I have one regret it's not routing my GPU power cable from underneath like yours but I spent an hour getting my cables clean on the back side of my case and undoing the GPU cable would mess up everything.

Was the Kyronaut 11.1g actually $98?

Is it possible to place your radiator at the top of the case? Would like to go for a similar build but I want my radiator up top if its possible. Thanks in advance

Very tasteful.

Beautiful.

This is my first comment, never falt I wanted to before this build.......I love this build.....the style, the tech, the 5Ghz mark...everything says this is the top of heap

For sheer research, do you think it was worth it to jump from the 4790K to the 8700K? I've heard some people say it was worth every penny, and others saying it was a complete ripoff.

This looks AMAZING! So amazing that I couldn’t help but be inspired to copy you on my very first build :D hope you don’t mind. I have the 8700k, Kraken 62, and GPU coming from another country. I went with Gigabyte Aorus 11 extreme ed. (Not the water cooled one) and only too late read about how you’d change to 24 cm kraken on top, fans to front setup. I assume my gpu won’t be efficient as your with heat, can you recommend a way for me to fix my setup? Basically, if I go with Asus Hero X is the Mobo IO shield placed differently ? Or should i look at other cases? (Maybe full atx) It is a true pain to return the kraken, is all. Thanks for reading.

Mad props! I love the light blue color you've got going on. Question though... I'm thinking of doing something eerily similar, but with a STRIX 1080... would you be able to measure the distance from the end of your GPU to the edge of the Kraken's radiator? It doesn't look there is another 1.2" (31mm) but sometimes looks can be deceiving :/

Thanks!

Your so cleverly cable management is make this so well designed, And this AORUS LED colorling is so beautiful. Im on seeing few minutes this phots. In my opinion overall is clever and chic design PC. Well done.

That looks awesome dude ! Really good job !

Really like the way you spun your front radiator hoses up to keep them up high. Don't think I've seen that done yet, but I may have to copy you. Very, very nice build.

Can you give me a review about that motherboard? I’m planning to get one instead of the Asus Strix lol. I also heard that it’s very easy to OC here is it true? And did you get the £40 steam code? Lol

Great looking build! Did you have any issues making the 1080ti fit in the top slot of that motherboard? I've read some reviews with issues of them getting hung on the Amp-up Audio cover.

Best Meshify C case build i've seen so far imo. love the accent lighting of choice you made. I wonder if the kraken is in pull or push mode.

Does the Kraken x62 block any RAM slots on the mobo? I am planning on getting on getting the same mobo RAM and cooler and I want to know if I will have clearance for 4 sticks

I was wondering if i could fit a 289mm gpu in this case with the kraken x62? It's an evga 1080 ti ftw3 hybrid and a little bit long than this one.

Excellent build. Seriously, one of the best looking I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

I've been plotting a similar build in the Meshify C. Would you describe your fan set up (push/pull etc) and how it is or isn't working?

Thanks again.

First of all, what a build!!!

A few questions though, first of all, have you had any problems installing any part of the build? Because there isn't much breathing space I see ;)

Secondly, since it's a meshify case, how is the noise level? Is it doable? And how did you configure the airflow, I guess the front fans are pulling air into the case, but what do the top ones do? Do they blow air out of the case, or into the case?

And finally, since I've recently ordered partially the same components...black power supply cables...or white power supply cables? Which ones would you recommend? :p

And again, kudos to you for building such a clean and sexy pc :o

Greetings! I'm new to this site and I am preparing to complete a new build using 8700K, Meshify C, Kraken x62, and the EVGA 1080Ti SC2.

Your build comes close to what I'm looking at, and I'm just trying to make sure that the 1080Ti SC2 will fit with the Kraken x62 at the front of the Meshify C.

According to EVGA, the SC2 is 3mm longer than the card that you're using, and judging by your pictures, it looks like I should be able to squeeze the SC2 in there.

Can you confirm that there's at least 3mm of space left between your card and the Kraken?

Thanks! Beautiful machine!

I saw your edit, well i guess i should consider that fan setup, specially considering how big the temp change was 57c on load, seriously wow, specially considering the kraken is more aesthetic wise than performance wise.

Very, very nice. Believe it or not my build is very similar with the Meshify C, Kraken X62, and an EVGA 1080ti SC2 Hybrid. Glad to see it will all fit once the GPU gets here!

Quick question though. Do you think you'd be able to fit 2x 140mm fans on the top exhaust or not?

Wow, beautiful

Hi Jay, awesome build!

Where did you buy your braided PSU cables? I love how neat they appear. What fans are you using and how is the fan layout?

Thank you!

This should be the new gold-standard reference when anyone asks how to route/mount AIO coolers. The tubes for the GPU cooler are just perfect. Very nice build.

What do you like about your case? Do you recommend it? Looking forward to buy it and I need opinions from owners ;)

Very nice build! I'm going for something similar but the PSU concerns me. How is the fit in this case? Have you got room for the HDD cage? Fractal says the max PSU length is 175mm however yours is 180 and the one I want to get is 180mm as well.. 5mm shouldn't matter much but sometimes it does.

This looks really really good, in fact when I save up the money I will copy almost everything hahah. Though I'm afraid of delliding the cpu. Question: What fans do you have for the 1080 Ti pump and the ones in the top of the case? Cause I might buy the new Noctua's NF-F12 Chromax fans, and place them in those spaces. Thinking of keep the stock fans in the X62 cause I hear they are pretty good. Any recommendations?

What are you using to light the case up ?

totally love the build, but the 1080ti Hybridradiator is upside down. Warning included in the box with the 1080ti Hybrid for a reason! Longevity, performance, and noise are aversely affected due to gravity. Apparently. Makes for a less attractive build imo (I have the same card) but hey can't win them all. +10

i have a similar build and am strugging what would be the best way to intake fan to the case.

did you manage to connect that nzxt fan that's on the gpu radiator directly to the gpu, or did you connect it to a fan header on your motherboard? I have a pwm be quiet silent wings 3 but I can't get the fan curve connected to the gpu temp.

Nice build, i'm trying to recreate this but I don't have a GPU with a fan. Did I read it right that you used the meshify-c stock fans for the top? If so, what would you recommend I place for the rear of the case? Thanks!

I love this build for the fact that the RGB is tastefully done. Great job man.

Hi! What about putting your top fans as exhaust and your GPU fan as intake? I tried that config in my own rig (obviously there are case differences) and my temps got better than having the back as exhaust. My compliments for radiator tubes position. Which braided PSU extension did you purchase?

Awesome build man. I was planning on building in an S340 elite, but this case looks like it offers better airflow. I'm never delidded and pretty new to overclocking which leads me to the following question...how often do you have to delid and reapply the liquid metal? I've somewhere on google that it can dry up and needs reapplication. Have you delidded in the past? Do you have a link to a good video on what kind of liquid metal to use and what delidding tools to buy?

Whats the clearance between the gpu and the radiator? Im looking to do about the same configuration as you but am using the longer FTW3 1080 TI hybrid and am worried about clearance.

$100 for thermal paste?...

This is almost exactly what I have and what I'm thinking of getting lol looks so good! Are you geting full fps on your monitor at higher settings?

What's your fan setups? Is the rear fan an exhaust, and then the tops and fronts intakes?

i'll build a pc like yours, do u think the performance difference between the GTX 1080 and 1080Ti worth the extra amount of money?(almost the double)

also i don't know which GTX model to chose? founder edition or what? note : i'm getting i7-8700k

How is the build holding up for you now that it has been 5ish months? I'm looking to build a mostly identical setup here. Did you get rid of the Aorus board? I see that mentioned in some of the other comments.

Could you link to the braided PSU extension cable? Why did you need it?

heres a weird question but what is the length of your gpu

I am planning to get exact same case, motherboard, CPU, and cooler. Any tips? Do I need to get a USB hub if I am going to use that cooler? Thanks!

The only thing that could make me more jealous is if this had a RoG motherboard! :D

awesome Build dude ! looks super clean. One question. how did u der Color on the phanteks rgb led Strips they are only compatible with Aura and Mystic sync wanted the same Mobo, but don't know how to set Color with this led strip:(

Oh my goodness, you have made the build that I have dreamt of for years. For the love of cheesecake DO NOT change this in any way shape or form.

Is this the Meshify C Dark TG or only TG?

Nice

Dude how did you fit that video card in there?

I love your build! Clean, Beast, Sexy ftw! I'm digging that pc case, I love compact cases and itx cases.

This is a really beautiful build! If you don't mind could you tell me where you managed to hide the SSD and HDD i have a feeling you've put them under the AUROS armour or in the back with the cables.

You have your front rad as exhaust?

What program to chnage the RGB on the RAM, link it pls.

Would the hybrid be better than the EVGA 1080 ti FTW3?

Oh and I don’t have plans to watercool my build past the AIO.

can you change the color of the lights on the GPU?

Really cool build, but may I suggest that you mount the GPU radiator fan on the outside of the case, so your not covering the motherboard armour? And would you redommend either of those Acer monitors for video editing and gaming? b/c Im looking for something in that price range for my next build.

Hey quick question about your build. I’m building something very similar. Same CPU, GPU, and case. Question is do you think the Kraken x52 240mm would be able to clear the cast and radiator fan of the GPU from a top mount position ??

Love the cable management, so clean.

how much does your cpu now hit after the delid? i have a custom loop delid and get 5ghz, idle is at 30ish and under load low 60s, would be interested to see how much a decent AIO can handle, im at 1.26Vcore

How is everything holding up on the hybrid? I’m considering one but the risk of pump failure or some kind of problem with the tubes are really turning me away from it despite the great temps. Also is it as quiet as when you got it?

Nice Build! I'm using the same tower. It's even more gorgeous in person.

Beautiful Build, I plan on using the same case myself.

Hi! Very nice rig you got there! Could you measure the gpu lenght cleareance with the kraken x62? I'm planning to have the same setup. Thank you!

Hey dude. Just wondering how difficult it was to set up the RGB sync with this build. I think I'm going for something similar soon and this is by far the best syncing of lights I've seen. Wondered how you'd achieved it! Cheers.

This is a nice looking build. I'm considering one with some of the same parts -- including the Meshify C, and Kraken -- but I'm worried about whether the 300mm Rog Strix RTX 2060 will fit. Do you know how long that EVGA founders edition 1080 ti is? Looks like it just barely fits. Thanks!

Damn! this build looks sleek as hell.

Curious about the rpms on your front intake vs your top intake. All the same? Or are your top intake fans set lower like 35% Top 30% Top 45%Front. I've been playing around with my build but my MSI mobo doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as your aorus.

Fantastic build regardless, it's nice to see someone think outside of the box. I was forced out of the box due to my obsession with the Artic Freezer II 280 which had to be front mounted and further screwed by my GPUs thermals blowers being hot as **** since it's a 2080 rtx Ventus 8g.
