Overview

As my first significant investment into a gaming PC, I wanted something that could perform and also put on a light show. Intel's LGA1151 platform has proved itself to me over and again, able to facilitate overclocks, undervolts, and other tinkering. Corsair was an easy choice for RGB, and I wanted to put the new (at the time) 4000D Airflow to the test.

Pictured is not actually an Asus ROG Strix RTX 2070 Super, it's the GTX 1660 Ti that can also be seen in Mini Mesh Box. The only visual difference is that the 2070 Super uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors whereas the 1660 Ti only uses one.
