Hey guys!
Some of you might remember my last build, GARGANTUA, from the builds.gg contest. It turned out I sold it because I had a good offer for it... I regretted a while to have sold this awesome build but now that I've finished my new one, I'm glad I did it :P
As usual, you can see it all in this 9 min video timelapse, from unboxing to benchmarks :

The build is called OLYMPIAN because the color theme is Gold/White and because I went ALL-IN on performance and overclocking, like any athlete would do :P
My goal was to be on the 3Dmark HOF and I did it for the Time Spy Extreme Graphics score
It helped that it was winter in Montreal haha, I did those benchmarks with the windows open at -10 °C LOL
It was my toughest build yet! Each time I try to find new challenges. This time, as a first, I tried :
-Pass-through fittings with quick disconnect valves
-Tempered glass etching
-Stand-alone reservoir (the biggest I could fit)
What I'm the most proud about this build is its HIDDEN quick disconnect valves as it allows both watercooled and air cooled GPUs and easy upgradeability!
What I'm the less proud about is those ugly ventilation holes I had to do for the stupid ROG PSU that only goes one side... at least we don't see the holes when the GPU is there...
Thanks and enjoy!
