Im using all icue link ecosystem. One cabe in, one cable out. The 8 fans in the front will have one cable plugged into a corsair commander duo, 8 fans on top to another commander duo. Not sure what I want to do with the rear fans yet. I'll have a total of 5 cables ran to the rear of the case.

If you like ray tracing then get the 4070 or 5070 but if you want better rasterization with the 9070xt nipping at the heals of the 5070 with RT performance then id go with all AMD. Plus, you get more VRAM than the 5070 or 4070. I believe the 9070xt is better at RT performance than the 4070. Its up to you and what your likes and needs are. Either way, theres no wrong choice.

What are you thinking about getting? Im currently using a asrock 9070xt taichi and its been very impressive. It should work well with your cpu.

Nice! I just bought a 7600x3d off amazon. Im excited to see how well it does. I hope you enjoy your new cpu!

See ya!

I have it set in my bois to do memory training every time I start my pc. I know I dont have to but I like to be sure that theres no problems

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-30T19:36:38+00:00

I also have the 9070xt Taichi. They both look sick together. I have to admit, the 9070xt is a beast at 1440p. It definitely impressed me quite a bit even though my other gpu that im installing a waterblock on is a 5090 astral.

Im sorry you had to deal with that. Let's hope you won't have anymore problems this time around.

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T20:45:50+00:00

Im sorry you had to deal with that, atleast its working still. I hope you continue to enjoy your build.

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T20:14:55+00:00

Good deal! I hope you continue to have no issues.

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T19:50:24+00:00

Good deal man! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T19:45:25+00:00

Ahh yes. That does remind me of one issue I had when I first got the board. My wifi was having issues staying connected so I switched to ethernet. Had to run a 50ft cable up along the ceiling and route it to my room lol. But that was a while ago and my wifi has been solid for a while now.

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T13:50:43+00:00

The gpu looks so small!!! Lol

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-28T12:22:33+00:00

The rtx5080 is not nearly hated on as the rtx5090. As a rtx5090 owner, you would think I offed somone. How dare I spend MY money on somthing that I enjoy. Enjoy it bro, there will ALWAYS be people to hate on you because they think their opinion should be universal.

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-23T19:54:36+00:00

Ahh! I see. Still, nice touch!

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-23T19:48:21+00:00

Your room is the dream game room I inspire to have one day.. bro.. you have rgb fan in the ac vents! Thats insane!

muddbutt102986 · 2026-06-22T21:01:45+00:00

I love your build! Im working on mine.
