Glorious RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio with Bitspower waterblock

I had to gut basically EVERYTHING that was bolted inside the case from thermaltake to get the look i wanted. everything is mounted to a custom cut/made polycarbonate motherboard tray/wall separating the front from the guts in the back
made some "motherboard armor" out of some scrap polycarbonate to hide the usb/audio/fan headers on the left side of the board. i ended up installing a 40mm fan to blow across the chipset due to the lack of airflow inside the case
Another shot of the "motherboard armor" with 40mm chipset fan hidden in the side
Aaaaand another shot of it
I also made another dual 40mm fan mount to hit the back of the 3090/motherboard/chipset/vrm area and it worked out quite well!
Here's a close up. it actually cools the GPU backplate EXTREMELY well! i like it!
Come and meet Smiley v4.0
I decided to go all out on a new system to treat myself after the year we've all had. It's named after Joker's toxin from the 1989 Batman movie...probably one of my favs as a kid! If you have any ideas for me, please let me know! thanks for checking out my rig!!!
