What better way for a 2026 fresh start than a new, super clean build? :P
As usual, I worked really hard to film and edit a full timelapse video (it's half the fun for me!). Here is the link :

With hardware getting scarcer and more expensive, I wasn't sure to make a new build for the RTX 50 like I usually do every generation but when I saw the potential of the Aorus Stealth line + the Modding Cafe INSANE CPU block, I had to do it! The build really sets itself apart and look more modern by being so clean. Love it! Now we need a GPU block with hided tubes for the ultimate fully watercooled stealth build!
The hardest part of this build was... getting the GPU... it seems the stealth ice was only released in Europe in low quantity so I had to import it.
The second memory kit is the cheapest I could find to use as filler sticks for a better look (it was bought BEFORE the insane RAM price hike). 2x24GB@8000MHz (Hynix M-die) is plenty enough and more performant than using 4 sticks.
The star of the show is really the CPU block, it's the whole point of the build. The guy from modding cafe is really amazing and was super helpful.
Here are the watercooling parts :
