Sup Channel nice to see ya back building

Thanks man! I'm glad to be back building. It's only on air for the time being but I'm still back :p

It's alive!!!! I still need to connect the non fun cables (case power) and do cable management but it posts, hell, it even boots into the windows installation left over on the 128GB SSD. CPU temp was only 23 degrees when it was idling so at least I know I didn't install the cooler wrong :p

[Chann3l]

Also thinking of either grabbing some nice extensions at some point or doing another full sleeve job depending on my level of laziness. Will get Windows installed tonight and doing some stress testing to make sure everything is as it should be.

Did some testing with Intel XTU. Ran the cpu stress test for a while at the stock speed (3.6Ghz) Package temperature never exceeded 53 degrees. Seems this Phanteks cooler does quite well. Will know more when I start overclocking.

Got 4.4 stable at 1.28 volts. Under XTU stress testing, package temperature hit a maximum of 74 degrees. Will need to tweak the voltage to get it as low as possible while maintaining stability but this CPU seems to be a lottery winner.

Cable management is handled. Could use some dark side leds, and even though it's all air, this my favourite build I've done. Also, for all the money I've spent on cases, the 80 dollar cost of the v21 is the most well spent in my opinion.

looks great!

looks great!

Thanks a lot, I'm really liking this board

Did some more testing, I'm happy to report that I can run 4.4ghz at 1.27v stable with the first xmp memory profile of 2666Mhz. For some reason the second xmp profile at 2800 tries to set the CPU to 5.60 GHz...That might have just been a weird anomaly though.

Edit: Nevermind the 5.6 is because the second xmp profile adjust the bclk to reach 2800 haha.

Looks cool! Indeed the V21 is a very good case for the price, I have been thinking about a build in one for a while now.

Thanks a lot. This is my first matx build too haha.

Got the second profile going memory is running at 2800 with bclk of 127mhz and the CPU multiplier set to 34 to run at 4.33 GHz at 1.25 volts. That's going to be my 24/7 setup

pretty good i think

I think so, I don't remember for sure, and I'm too lazy to dig through my previous build but I'm pretty sure my 5820k required a higher vcore to get stable at either 4.3 or 4.4

Nice build man. I like how you set up the air flow.
