Black&Blue Power

That's my first AMD build after many years of loyalty with Intel. I still remember my first PC. It was an Olivetti M19 equipped with a 8086 processor. But let's describe a bit this rig. I first choosed an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x because I found one at a good price. At first I was running two GTX 1080 in SLI, then I buy the two 2070 Super you can see in the images. Soon I was not happy about temperatures so I searched for a custom liquid cooling solution, and I found NZXT G12 bracked. Actually both GPUs are liquid cooled. The top one uses an old NZXT x52 that I already owned, the radiator is mounted on bottom (not without some difficulty). The bottom one uses a second-hand Corsair H90. I was searching for an AIO compatible with G12 but with 140mm single fan radiator, and I found this to be somehow rare. Actually is mounted at rear, with two Noctua 140mm fans in push/pull configuration. The third AIO (for CPU) is a NZXT X63 mounted on top. The case is fantastic, has quite space and a lot of options. The space is never enough, that's why I had to mount two additional fans for push/pull configuration outside the case (well protected with grills). I preferred to not use RGB, but only some while LED fans and three "old-style" blue NEON tubes. That's all!
