Build Description

My wife and I decided to build a computer together for a VR setup. :D
EKWB Quantum Velocity V2 cooling. CPU contact frame and Thermal grizzly liquid metal.
I managed to fit (2) Corsair XR7 Rads in here with push/pull configurations.
Overclocked the i9 13900k to 6.1 ghz on 6 cores and 5.6 on 2. Running 1.4v Vcore, medium LLC.
Temps in cinebench get to about 80c full load.
Oc'd the DDR5 6000 Gskill memory to 28, 36 36, 80 6133 at 1.46v. (Tested stable in memtest pro)
Build was closer to $6000 really when all was said and done.lol
