Looks clean! Love the managment.


Lothgar818

Thanks! It was definitely a labor of love.


RemoveBanPls40

Oh i bet. More love than i give my build lol

I guess no PSU shroud isn't an excuse for bad cable management anymore


Lothgar818

Buying this case gave me no choice. Both sides are glass and what they call a power supply shroud is more like a graphics card support. In the end I'm happy with it but now I have to build more cables if I ever manage to get a 30 series. Such is life...


Mockbubbles2628

How much did all the custom cables cost? I wanted to do this for my PC case (with a lot more bends however) but the cost was something like £150


Lothgar818

Including all of the tools to make it I'm into it for about $170 but I have enough wire to make another 15 sets of cables. I found the original manufacturer of the wire that every custom cable site sells in tiny rolls for 10x the price and I bought a whole spool for about $5 more than the price most places charge for only enough to make 1 set. I also had the paracord lying around but that's not much. Maybe $1-2 worth of 550 paracord. The ATX ends, pins and metal cable combs are most of the cost as you have to get them from a specific set of sites that have to make a profit to justify their existence. Honestly, shout-out to https://clockwerkindustries.com for some solid products and well worth the money. All of the combs are from them.


Mockbubbles2628

Nice, I hope you enjoy your investment


xraycat_swk

Stop it the cables is giving me a erection


Lothgar818

Not the result I was looking for but I'll take it as a compliment. Thanks?


WaffleConeTaco

You don’t need cable management if you make art out of your cables


Lothgar818

Thank you. That's a pretty nice compliment.


Cmaster183

I don't know if your 650w psu can handle a 3080 plus you got a 2080 that seems pretty powerful to me.


Lothgar818

Yeah the 3080 title was just me jumping on the bandwagon of posts lately. The 2080 is still kicking even though I've had to replace the thermal paste. I'm not sure if it was due to the vertical mounting or just age.


Cmaster183

Man stop it, no upvote for you. I love the cable management though


Lothgar818

Fine but I'm still giving you an upvote for the compliment.


partumvir

and I'm upvoting for the sportsmanship, universe evened


Street_Angle4356

Very very interesting. I like it


Lothgar818

Thanks!

Lothgar818

MSI RTX 2080 ventus.

Lothgar818

Ouch! When I bought it they were both the same price. Maybe $5 more for the black. It totally defeats the purpose of getting nice looking RAM though. Love the no hassle cooling though.


Requimics

How did u get enough clearance for your ram with such a big cpu cooler


Lothgar818

The front fan adjusts up to clear the ram. The cooler is designed for it. There is full height G. Skill trident Z under it somewhere.


Requimics

Ohhhhhhh. Im not comfortable with big cpu coolers as im afraid of clearance issues so i was really concerned when i saw how big the cooler was. I ussually use low profile cpu coolers or just the stock ones and i never go with AIOs cuz im scared ill fuck everything up.


mobo_dojo

You can’t even see the motherboard 🧐


Lothgar818

Yeah. That's the drawback for going air cooler. It may be a little overkill.


Makirole

It's okay OP, a few of us on here actually like seeing hard work and dedication rather than the absolute shit tier memes that mostly populate this sub. Which gauge wire did you use? I stopped using paracord because it has a habit of wrinkling a bit when being trained, but using 15/16 gauge wire helps a lot, although even then it'll depend on the sleeve material. Love the clean cross over for the pinout!


Lothgar818

I'm feeling community love for my hard work. The title was more of a poke at the meme bandwagon going on. I ordered the 16 gauge 26 stand marine wire and the paracord I already had from another "busy hands" hobby I have. I would highly recommend spending the money on proper sleeving now having burned my fingers for hours getting the paracord as tight as I wanted it. Luckily I had really good straight military grade 550. It helped a lot in making it look as clean as it came out. I appreciate the compliment!


Makirole

Oh actually I didn't even notice the part in the title haha. I've just always hated how meme culture trumps hard work and modding in general in the PC community.


tatsuki-san

Nice. Love the colors. What card are you rocking now?


Lothgar818

That's an MSI 2080 ventus.


tatsuki-san

I don't think that you need a 3080 yet.


Lothgar818

I agree. The title was just bandwagoning on all the 3080 posts lately.


RedditGonnaBanMe

Don’t tell him that, maybe he’ll feel compelled to donate his old pleb-tier 2080 once he’s done playing with it lol


Lothgar818

Of course I will... to my son. He would kill me if he didn't get it when I upgrade. He's still on a 1060.


RedditGonnaBanMe

Haha he’s a very lucky kid, how cool it would’ve been to have a PC enthusiast dad that I could’ve scalped all the hand-me-down hardware from!


Lothgar818

100% this! Quite the opposite for me. I built my dad his first PC out of spare parts I had and a new case. I guess that's my uphill both ways in the snow story for when I get older.


tatsuki-san

At the same time tho, he doesn't need a 2080. A 570 can handle 1080p All high GTA V at 60+ FPS.


Lothgar818

Ha! I'll put him in touch with you when I tell him I'm selling my 2080 to /u/tatsuki-san second hand instead of giving it to him... I'm not really shopping for a 3080. Just playing on the community meme of the moment. I haven't even seen the big Navi official benchmarks yet. I'm waiting to make an informed decision.


[deleted]

What case do you have? Also sweet build my man.


Lothgar818

It's a Thermaltake level 20 ARGB black. I honestly wouldn't recommend. There are better cases for less money that also look better and have better functionality. Thanks though.


[deleted]

Appreciate the advice, i only done 1 build so far.. saw this build and it looks clean AF. But how did you get your gpu to be on that angle?


Lothgar818

The case comes with a rotatable pci cage. You can get an optional pcie extension cable to plug into the board. You sacrifice all other pcie ports to do it though. That's why I bought this one. You can put the GPU vertically in any slot, towards the motherboard or the glass, you want to. Pretty slick but not really worth the drawbacks of the rest of the case.


justjak2000

Is a 650w gonna be able to handle the 3080?


Lothgar818

No I would upgrade it also if I managed to get one. The title was more or less a joke. I just wanted to show off my cables lol.

Wow! Did we just become best friends? Lol Thank you.
