ROG Simp i9 13900k+4090 for AW3423DW OLED Ultrawide

13900k + 4090 tackles games at 1440p ultrawide with ease on the Alienware AW3423DW, especially Cyberpunk 2077's new DLC.

13900k has a thermal grizzly contact frame.

The Maximus z790 HERO, Ryujin II, and Lian Li infinity fans were chosen for their looks. Noctua A14 fans were carried over from the previous build, I don't see them so they're not getting replaced with Lian Li fans.

The Strix 4090 is very nice, I got an open box from Microcenter. No complaints! Tackles any game with high frames at the moment.

There was a G.Skill Trident RGB ram kit initially, but it seems the motherboard didn't like the kit in XMP and would spit out error code 55 whenever I rebooted the system. The corsair kit works perfectly. I had issues with the RGB on the G.Skill kit as well where it would not sync with the motherboard, so I opted to go with no RGB on the current kit. I did double check my contact frame on the CPU, that did not seem to be an issue for the error code.

The SATA SSDs are from previous builds over the years, if anything were to be upgraded, these would be swapped out for NVME drives. They're used for older games at the moment, with newer releases being installed on the NVME OS drive.

The Evolv X looks great and is carried over from a past build. Cable management was a bit difficult with the 2 different hubs needed for the Lian Li fans and the Ryujin II cooler. I'd choose a different case with a bit more space for cable management and better airflow in the future.

The ROG Thor P2 1200w is overkill and the last power supply I plan to buy. It is a bit long for the Evolv X's PSU cut out, with the RGB being cut off. Both hard drive cages are removed in the bottom to accommodate for the PSU length and cable slack.
