Hi All,
Some of you may know me from last year's amateur build competition and my build entered there, Colourworks.
Immediately after Colourworks was complete, I began work on my current build, Royal. I was hoping to achieve two things I'd rarely seen: one, a full gold build, and; two, a modified O-11 Dynamic. I'd seen numerous builds in the O-11, but aside from a few choice works (like Enviousmods' Carbon mod), few people had modded the O-11. Similarly, I'd rarely seen top to bottom, all component gold builds.
For parts, as with Colourworks, I installed quality parts because I use these builds. Here's a breakdown of the major components:
CPU: Intel 9900k
GPU: Zotac 2080Ti
MOBO: ASUS ROG Maximus Formula XI
Memory: 32GB G. Skill Trident Z Royal RGB
Storage: Samsung 970 evo M.2
PSU: 1600w EVGA
For watercooling we have:
CPU block: Barrow
D5: Barrow
Fittings: Byksi
Tubing: XPSC black chrome
Radiators: XPSC
Reservoir: Bitspower
Pump top: Barrow
Pump cover: Barrow
Fans: Corsair ML120s
In the end, I'm quite happy. I figured out a new painting technique to achieve mirror gold finishes, worked further with vinyl (all fans are covered in vinyl), tried some innovative things (like placing the distro board on the bottom of the O-11, which I'd never seen), and worked with metal tubing for my first time.
Let me know what you guys think!
