7900XT Hellhound Build
by Carlitos V Posted on: 8/7/2023
Build Description
I built this PC because i wanted to be able to play any game i wanted at 1440p Ultra settings with ease, while having a budget of about $2,400 dollars. I added some helpful tips here on some items if you plan to copy this build because this was my first ever PC build. I got all my tips from PC Builder from Jason on Youtube, his videos made me take a crack at building my first PC with confidence. Please share feedback if you would like! hope this can help someone out there if they plan to go for a team red combo (CPU and GPU) because it's amazing!
Favorite Feature
i love the GPU, i was iffy about buying the Hellhound variant for the 7900XT due to mixed reviews, but it performs like an absolute beast and coil whine is not an issue with my model.

Killer CPU! pair this up with an AMD GPU and you have some extra performance as well with AMD Smart Access Memory!! overall amazed with how this CPU runs but i will warn you, the 7000 series runs HOT!!! undervolt this CPU and you will have drastically better thermals that go from about 95 degrees celsius at max load to about 75-80 degrees celsius at MAX LOAD! You also don't hinder the performance at all too so it's better to undervolt these CPU's rather than keeping them at stock settings.

amazing GPU, don't listen to the reviews and just get one of these because it seems to depend on the model you get. Amazing performance for 1440p Ultra settings while this GPU remains at great temps. BARELY ANY COIL WHINE ALSO! this seemed to be an issue with many copies but it isn't an issue for me but you can def change this out for any other GPU if you like. I am content with mine but people seem to recommend the sapphire variant if you want an alternative!

Great case and amazing cable management! only downside is that a 420mm AIO will have you remove the rear exhaust fan if you want to place it at the top section which was ideal for me because i wanted to leave the stock fans alone. Other than that this case looks clean with the glass doors and has amazing airflow!

if you plan to get a 420mm AIO please check the case specs ahead of time and watch youtube videos to see if it fits without having to remove the rear exhaust fan!!! i had to do this and i have to get a smaller one fitted in which isn't that much of an issue but it would have been nice to have had it fit with the AIO cooler as well. It says so in the manual only and website so check your case specs before going all in for a big 420mm AIO. Great airflow regardless of removing the rear fan!!!
