I originally built this machine back in 2017 as my new upgrade in the Corsair Carbide Air 240, but I didn't like the case in the end for it being too smol. I Moved everything from that case into the new Fractal Design 7 in white when that came out and with the excess space, I put a family of calico critter bunnies.
The GTX 1080 FE Runs pretty hot but with the jank ziptied 90mm fan strapped to the gpu shroud where the plastic opening used to be to cool is more! It helped the gpu boost a little bit more with the extra cooling!
Ehey Keyboard is an Ergodox EZ with cherry brown swtiches and Kailh x Novelkeys pale blue klicky switches for some of the funcional keys that aren't the legend. The legend uses pudding (yummy, pudding <3 (nep)) keycaps and looks absolutely stunning with the rgb lighting. The rest are Pimp My Keyboard hana keys for the ergodox. It all looks absolutely gorgeous in person especially with a pastel colorscheme. The usb cable I made and soldered myself with a color scheme that matches me computer! The aviator connector looks really nice and breaks up the 2 different paracord designs.
The 1080 FE runs hot, but with that jank mod of zip tying a fan to where the clear plastic shroud was, it runs a bit cooler that the gpu was able to boost up a tad bit! The CPU I delidded and threw some liquid metal on the die and helped a little bit too.
Overall the computer runs pretty much as good as you can get especially for a high end 2017 machine. Runs older games at high framerates perfectly fine, but newer games I turn down a bit just to hit 100+ fps for my 160hz asus gsync 1440p monitor. For VR, the valve index is set at 90% render resolution and it runs perfectly! All games run at less than the 6ms target for 144fps per eye. Half Life Alyx on low and more older vr games on higher settings.
