Pandemic Build 2

Early during lockdown I decided to clean up my PC a bit and give it some updates because I was bored and mail order was still a viable option to shop. The components are mostly 3 years old but I grabbed a case I liked and cleaned it all up and put it together and it came out pretty good and is still performing perfectly for what I do. I'm in the middle of a couple of other builds that will probably replace this and this one will go to my wife because I would hate to part it out at this point.

Recently installed the RGB RAM Modules, only an 8GB kit, 2400 MHz, $35.00. Currently overclocked to 3200 MHz or so and looking for another kit now that I know this will work with Aura Sync

CPU recently downgraded from a 7600K that I've moved to a different build that uses a ASUS Maximus IX Extreme. the current CPU is an i5-6600K that cost me $80.00.

The 240mm Corsair H110x AIO came with a used case I picked up for $75.00. Both the case and the AIO cost more than $75.00 so it was a great deal.

The case, fans, headphones, all came in March from various sources. The case is an In Win knockoff but I like the design and functionality of the case. Good airflow, quiet, Technically you could put another 360mm rad in it if you were using an mATX or mITX board but with the ATX board it would be a real pain and honestly don't need it.

I can run the CPU stable at 5GHz but to save on some energy, heat, etc, I stick with 4.5GHz. I'm still dialing in the memory settings and have just started testing at 3200MHz.

Hmmmm, ah yes, I have a 2.5 sata drive mounted to the back of the motherboard try where I do my automatic backups.

Mouse and Keyboard are MX Master Keys and MX Master. Being able to switfch betwwwen three different computers is a real godsend
