Back side. These cables were hard to tame. I could do better with a bit more time.

Added the EVGA Power Link. Nice little gadget to help clean up the build.

Underneath the Desk, all wires zip tied to the desk frame. The black box is the LH Labs LPS - the power supply for the LH Labs Pulse X Infinity DAC/AMP combo (silly name I admit)

The Suppressor Build

A silence and performance focused build. Nothing fancy in terms of aesthetics, but it’s got it where it counts!

Running a 4790k at 4.65ghz @1.225 volts delidded with liquid metal and cooled by Noctua NH-U14s. It rarely reaches the mid 70s under load. Higher frequency than that and it needs more voltage for stability and performance gains are not worth it over the higher temperatures. I believe I reached my CPU's sweet spot. Still, the build is very quiet under load which is what I always strive for.

RGB is not a feature on this build and My Thermaltake Suppressor F31 does not have the side window option. But in the future I plan on getting the TG window upgrade, so whenever I upgrade the parts, I can do something with some nice, subtle RGB effects.
