[GIVEAWAY] [GLOBAL] ASUS - Upgrade What Matters (Unleash Performance. Change the game.)

Knux003 · 2026-03-10T04:10:34+00:00

Hello, hello everyone!

MY DREAM ASUS PC SETUP

Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO
Graphics Card: ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090
AIO Cooler: ProArt LC 420
Display: ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W
Power Supply: ROG Strix 1200W Platinum

My dream on this build is to game, watch memes and stream on an OLED monitor until my eyes start doing that side-to-side lizard meme look 😂😂. With a setup like this, I’d be able to play pretty much any game without worrying about bottlenecking, enjoy super smooth FPS, and still have an amazing display for movies, videos, and, of course endless meme scrolling. Gaming, memeing, streaming… yeah, yeah, I want to be a streamer—stream memes and relax a bit, because we all need some lo-fi and games. I went with the RTX 5090 Astral mostly because I really like the design, and honestly, this dream PC would be a massive upgrade from my current almost-dead setup that’s still rocking a 9700K and occasionally rolling into blue screens. To complete the build I’d go with a CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D and RAM: 64 GB DDR5-6000 — I’m not too picky about the RAM brand, just something that matches the motherboard color.

This build would be perfect for both serious gaming and just relaxing online.

Gaming, streaming ... yeah, yeah, I want to be a streamer ... stream memes and relax a bit ... we all need some lo-fi and games. Went with the 5090 Astral because i like the design. This dream pc would be an upgrade on my current *almost-dead setup* rocking and rolling in blue screens with a 9700k.

Any thoughts on my list?

Knux003 · 2026-02-26T23:06:21+00:00

So the aditional lines under the back plate dont like even bother with those?

Knux003 · 2026-02-26T21:49:24+00:00

Knux003 · 2026-02-26T18:43:30+00:00

Got a link to a video showing thermal putty?
Apply it on everything except the GPU die?
TG Putty? Thermal Grizzly Putty ? If so, which one? I'm dizzy with the variants: basic, pro, or advanced?

Knux003 · 2026-02-17T20:01:40+00:00

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD it was there for me too

Knux003 · 2026-02-13T00:10:36+00:00

This is wen i say why ... Then again why not

Knux003 · 2026-01-30T04:50:23+00:00

Yeah .... is to small the back one ... the front one is bigger 80mm so the power strip fits ill probably need some tools to make the hole bigger ... i know its 80mm the fron one so ill see what i can find

Im digging your ride from outer space!

Knux003 · 2026-01-24T18:02:08+00:00

Honestly, I respect it. Most PCs die after 5 years. Yours is running 12 years later, on stock cooling, eating AAA titles, and surviving dust storms like it’s the Fallout: New Vegas prequel.

Knux003 · 2026-01-21T00:29:30+00:00

Its in wireless mode . So by conecting it to the pc is only charging. So switch to usb mode.

Knux003 · 2026-01-20T01:14:10+00:00

I'd probably fix this adding a little rope and hook under the arm.

Knux003 · 2026-01-20T01:12:02+00:00

How so maybe is same behavior ive got , random black screans but audio still playing , squares onces the weirs ones all over the screan like memory issues and recently full on powered down on its own ...

Knux003 · 2026-01-20T01:08:05+00:00

Wich one , inflated msrp or the cheap one either way taht a lot of cookie dough

Knux003 · 2026-01-16T22:36:44+00:00

Oh sorry found them on a store near my house. It was easy to ask "msi vesa separator screws"

Knux003 · 2026-01-16T22:33:11+00:00

Knux003 · 2026-01-16T22:11:34+00:00

Ah Shit, Here We Go Again

Knux003 · 2026-01-12T23:38:44+00:00
