    Forum Fun Custom Build

    That's very clever. I had never thought that you could build a PC outside of a case but it looks really good. Like a piece of functional wall art. Nice neat cable management too.

    Forum Fun Custom Build

    I just finished my first ever build a month ago and am super happy with how it has come out. I wanted to go for the whole rainbow lighting effect thing because I had never owned a PC like that before. Case is a Kolink Void with a front infinity mirror design. Just finished the build off by...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Yeah I am back into playing The Forest which was the game I was half way through when my old gaming PC died. Luckily I got a hard drive to USB converter cable off eBay for $5 so I was able to retrieve my save games off there. It's running the types of games I wanted it for at maximum settings...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Yeah I tried rotating the pump to the right hand side instead for mounting but I could feel from the resistance that the hoses didn't want to be bent that way so the only way I could get them to fit was with the hose connections on the left. Ideally I wanted to mount the radiator the other way...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Hehe thanks. It certainly does light the place up at night time. Once I set up all my Roccat RGB peripherals it will be even better. I have a couple of minor upgrades I want to make. The included Phanteks CPU to PCI-E cables are a bit ugly, especially because it has a redundant second PIE-E...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    I have now run some benchmarks (3D Mark to gauge the graphical performance compared to my old PC) and Cinebench (to test my CPU temperatures at 100%). Happy with both results. This is a big step up in performance from my old PC so it should do a great job of the type of 1080p 60fps games I am...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Yes after triple checking I had actually plugged everything in I turned the power button on for the first time and it booted up into BIOS with all the lights and fans working so huge relief. Happy with how it looks so far but two of the fans center parts have a slight wobble to them so will...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Update: Made some more good progress this afternoon but am knackered after finally managing to fit everything inside this case. I am more than willing to admit that this particular case is completely not sensible and impractical for a first time builder to work with. I blame this ASUS...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    I have looked into it more and from what I can gather the VDG plug is an optional older technology for people who don't have the gen_2 ARGB headers on their motherboard. I can just use the 3pin 5v connector instead and ignore the VDG. As for the other plug I am pretty sure that was just daisy...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Update: It's going well so far but I decided to stop about half way through the build today because its too hot in Adelaide (38c) and I don't have air con so I was starting to get tired and worried that I might drip some sweat onto the motherboard or something. Also doesn't help having such heat...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Hey there, thanks for checking. Have just been patiently waiting for all the parts to arrive and the final lot was all delivered today so I have it all ready to start building tomorrow nice and fresh. Going to take my time with each step and make sure I'm doing them in the optimal order. I...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    Thanks for all this help. I appreciate it. So will the air going through the radiator cool the liquid coolant in the fins and then exit the radiator into the case hotter than it was outside the case? Does that only happen if the fans are on the left side sucking the air through the radiator...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    That sounds promising then. I'm sure the AIO will do a good job in summer. I had a question about the AIO radiator and fan installation at the front of the case so I drew up a diagram to make it easier to explain. So is it correct that the goal of a front mounted radiator / fans is to intake...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    I did give the CPU some thought and was initially going to go with the i7 12700 but I decided to go down a level to the i5 12600 for a few reasons. Firstly when considering my use case my graphical goals are for 1080p at 60fps and no higher than that. Also I have quite an extensive backlog of...

    Solved Looking for some advice on choosing suitable parts for a Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case.

    After doing some research I have decided I am going to build the whole PC myself and use an AIO liquid cooling system like you suggested. I ordered everything yesterday so here is my completed parts list: Case: Kolink Void RGB Tempered Glass Case Black Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B660-A...
