Waterleak testing. Did use the EK loop tester on all major parts first. And Yes I took the peel off the GPU. Only kept it there because at the time I had no idea is the GPU was gonna work since I didn't have Resizeable BAR. As you can see this was a tight fit. Used XSPC EPDM 13/10mm for tubing and various fittings.
Yeah I know the LED bars are jank. IDC. Its weird not having LEDs.
Levaithan V2
So after years of using Leviathan for gaming, streaming, some 3d work, and many other things. Shes not keeping up anymore. That old Threadripper is showing its age. Theres just some games I can't stream. Even with the 3080TI upgrade during covid the processor can't keep up. So this build will be moved into a server case and serve as the streaming PC for the new gaming build Mobius One. I had to drastically down grade the cooling from 6x140mm rad worth of cooling down to 4x120mm rad of cooling. And something that will be odd to this build is that Leviathan will be using an Intel Arc A750 for encoding the stream. The reason for this is its one of the cheapest cards on the market that can run AV1 encoding. Makes no sense paying more for a 4070+ or AMD mid tier if I'm not gaming on it. And yes X399 doesnt have resizeable BAR but its working just fine.
