Progression post “The RoG Tower”

Hey all, long time since I posted but I do this only for a hobby so anyway had some time to post, and here it is.
The RoG Tower is nearly finished! Added tons of new things since my last post but I don’t have any decent pictures yet.

What have I done?

  • Added the Barrow 120 mm resevoir
  • Put a RX 580 block from Bykski onto my RX 590
  • Black tubing 14 mm
  • Cut open the front and rear panel and spray painted them with asus typewriting
  • Re-did the whole loop
  • Added an extra ssd on the back of my X570-I

It is still not finished, Next up is some decent lightpanel and some minor touch-ups so we can take some decent pictures.

So stay tuned!

Re-Build: Ncase M1 becomes The Rog Tower

Earlier this month I posted The Ncredible Ncase post. But since then I have been testing and folding at 100 percent CPU and VGA and concluded even with the Coolermaster AIO that for the purpose it will be serving the Ncase is too small.
So out of the blue, a friend of mine asked if I would take his Phanteks Shift X case for modding or building. And away we go…

Phanteks Shift X aka The RoG ToWeR

Like the Ncase M1, The RoG Tower will host the Ryzen 3700X, the Asus Rog motherboard, and so on. But with one exception: The CPU will be liquid-cooled by a joint venture of EKWB and Barrow parts. The radiator will be an 240 mm EKWB one SE type. The temperatures in the Ncase were as high as 71° Celsius, not insanely hot but still too hot for me.
So now the real test will come when everything is placed in the Phanteks Case.

The Asus RoG motherboard X570- I wifi equipped with the Ryzen 3700X

At the moment will are awaiting some goods from our suppliers. Normally next week we will commence building again. The plan is to make some inserts on either side. Spray paint it in the colors of our theme.

Mdmods.be
Manu from mdmods.be has made us some beautiful custom cables. One for the CPU and one for the 24 pin motherboard. The level of craftmanship just drips from these and to say more, have a look at the pictures. Made in Belgium!

So stay tuned for more building updates!

Ncrdible NCase M1 Project

Hey guys, long time no see. As I have been busy with other stuff there has been quite some time since I did a new project. Now the project called “Golden NXT” has been sold, it is time to start a new project for myself.
For quite some time I came into possession of a Ncase M1. In Belgium, they are quite rare so I am happy to have one.
What is NCase ? check this link for more information.
What will happen to it? Well, I think it will be a three-stage project. Building and modding computer takes up a lot of money even if you sell one …

The first stage:
Buying stuff and try to get it to fit in that tiny case.
Which components?
Well, the Ncredible Ncase project will host a Ryzen 7 3700X with 16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz memory from Gskill. The motherboard will be an Asus ROG strixx X 570-I mini itx.
For the SSD I choose a Samsung EVO plus 512 GB and for now as graphics card a Sapphire R590 solely for budget reasons (remember 3 stages).
The Ryzen 3700X will be cooled at first by a stock cooler from AMD itself. I will be doing some benchmarks just to see how this cooler behaves in “loaded” conditions.

The second stage:
Well after the stock cooler, I will install an AIO liquid cooler and test again what temp and loads the processor can handle. I also will do a review of that liquid cooler.

The third stage:
The third stage will be: installing a full custom made liquid cooling system in that tiny case. A special reservoir for that case is already ordered. Again I will be testing the loop and temps.
So stay tuned for the next stage of cooling evolution 🙂

New Build : Matrix Build featuring the Ryzen 3600X

Hey all, we are back with another finished build. The working title was CyberPunk 2077 as a theme but along the way the owner changed his mind, leaving us with no name.
No worries, we came up with another: “Matrix Build”.
This bad boy packs a lot of heat and power, featuring A Ryzen 3600X and an RTX 2080 VGA card.

Bitspower Touchaqua accompanied by the Corsair RGB Vengeance Ram

For the case, we took a Thermaltake P90 and loaded it up with lots of goodies. Here is a list of most of the parts used in the build. Click on the links for more info.

The finished result sitting on the owner’s desk

This build has a full custom water loop done with 14 mm tubing PETG. The 480 mm radiator is cooling down all the heated water in the loop. Average temperatures are around 35 degrees on full load according to the owner. This build will be added to our builds page, as soon as we have more pictures.

In the next phase we are going to modify the case further adding some paintwork and newly formed shell onto the existing case, so stay tuned.
Want a custom build like this? Feel free to contact us.
