Build Description

Gaming Rig to watch an incredible amount of YouTube in between playing World of Warcraft, Overwatch, CoD Warzone, and of course Valorant. My next upgrade will be 10600K and a 2080 Super when I can afford it.

Favorite Feature

I like my airflow. I have the two vardar 120mm front fans as intake, I also have my 120mm AIO mounted in the rear as intake with a push/pull setup to blow air over the motherboard to make up for not having an air cooler move air around that area. Then I have two coolermaster rgb fans mounted at the top as exhaust. With this setup, and the asus fan curve when I get to gaming and my GPU heats up all of the fans respond and scale up the fan speed as the GPU temperature rises quckly pulling in cool air and exhausting the hot air out the top and away from any intake.
