The Aura Version 2.0

My first big, watercooled rig. Took me 6 months to plan, design and build. And it came out just like I wanted it. used ALOT of time on some sponsorships, watercooling, and understanding it to the fullest, plus general design.

The plan was from the beginning to have all lights synchronize to the Asus Arura eco-system, to gain full control over it. (therefore the name) and to show of the awesome manufactures behind out pc's

I designed all signs, and lightning implementation myself, and made it all myself too, with the build in led strips etc.

I haven’t changed to case too much, other than removing the HDD cage in the top, so the res would fit.

I LOVE this machine. It functions as mu private gaming rig, as well as my work 3D rendering machine.

cooling capabilities is pretty awesome, despite the 2 1080ti's and the 8086k. both OC'ed.

CPU is running 5.2 on ALL cores in sync - Idle temps are 31, running at 56

GPU is running at 2100mhz all time with a plus 456 in memory - Idle temps are 27, running at 51
