I have fancied doing a Strix-themed build for a while so I have gone for a Z790-H and a Strix 4080 OC Edition for the main base of the system. I am running a new sim racing channel over at YouTube so this will become a daily driver, literally, for that and the workload involved, plus those boards have great I/O, with a GPU capable of 4K60 for what I am putting out. I am also running an Elgato 4K60 capture card to bring in PS5 footage from Gran Turismo, so the blue and red Strix colour scheme will also line up with some elements of sim racing too!
Since I started modding back in 2019 on a serious level, ASUS is the one hardware manufacturer that I have had no issues with, everything just works and while some parts command premium prices, I cannot fault my experiences down the line. From a GTX 670 to a 770, a 970, to a 1070, and beyond, their GPUs have always delivered for me personally.
The build was fairly straightforward, even being the first time I have done a dual loop. Once again, Alphacool made this project possible so a huge thank you to them once again for supporting my work. I would love to hear your guys thoughts on this one, and what I should do next!
Hope you like it guys!
