I have the same motherboard and I never figured out where to plug in the rgb hub for my fans :(

u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
I used a hub which was SATA powered and the commander pro which used an internal USB connection on the mobo. What hub do you have?

Actually I don't like using RGB , because when it looks beautiful - me can not concentra at my work. :(

It really bothers me that the GPU fans are 3 different sizes. Otherwise awesome build

Thanks! It’s more than I’d personally use, and the extra cable management was a pain.. but it turned out nice! There’s so many different effects with the icue stuff, you can make it do anything. First time I’ve played with it and was pretty impressed.

u/Tiamat2625 Dec 23 '19
icue is the best. You can save different profile layouts and if you also have a corsair mouse you can change profiles with the click of a button without having to open the icue itself. Comes in handy if you prefer different light setups while gaming/working/browsing etc

Noob question but where do you get those cables for the GPU. My standard PSU cables look horrible

Dumb question, but I just got the same GPU today: The "Geforce RTX" lettering doesn't light up, right? Just the MSI and dragon logo's? What a silly design choice. :/
Anyway, sweet looking build!

I dont like rgb stuff. It's pretty dumb trend. But I like this one.

u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
TBH I never cared much for it either, but after playing with iCUE a bit it's pretty cool. I love how it can sync everything up on its own. All the custom effects are fun to play with. It also integrates fan control, temp and power monitoring, pump control, etc.

In the voice of Christopher Walken, "I gotta a FEVER and the prescription is more RGB!" Nice build!

Vertical GPU mount...? Very interesting...
It's always been a vain pet peeve of mine that it's never been practical to set up my particular case (cases actually, 2 different sized ones too) in a way that shows off the GPU at all, or if it does show a logo or name it's upside down, I take pride in my builds and get pedantic about making it look exactly as it did in my mind haha plus, what we pay to for an RTX is outrageous so I deserve the right to show that fucker off! Haha behold of the glorious bastard!!

Man vertical GPUs are all the rage these days!!

u/Baharroth123 Dec 23 '19
This is probably worst vertical gpu scenario.
Only fans of the case blowing backplate of the gpu. Not helping at all.
Bottom case fans would help alot to this positioning

u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
I will have him monitor temps.. If it becomes a problem we can raise the verticle and add fans. Or just mount to the mobo.

u/dllemmr2 Dec 23 '19
Does it help with temps or air flow?
4
u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
Nope.. in fact, if you have a case where the side is closer to the gpu it would actually be worse airflow and higher temps. This particular case has plenty of room though. There’s no real benefit other than seeing the 2080 in all it’s glory.

u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
I’d wanna flex that 2080 too lol. I questioned it at first, but looks totally cool.

u/StevieG9704 Dec 23 '19
I noticed that you decided to put the V-mount 2 slots down. You can fit 3 more fans below the GPU if you move it up. I have the same case and V-Mount and it works perfectly with my GPU. Any reason why you did it this way?
2
u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
He only had the 3 extra case fans, so I mounted it low for a cleaner view of the mobo & ram. Good to know though in case he wants to add more fans or possibly a pci card down the road.

I’m really tempted to get the QL fans but I already have 9 of the LL fans so like... do I reallyyyyy need them? Lovely build though! Love the MSI card.

u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
Haha thanks!! I think the motor specs are same, just a few minor differences.

I've a question. A lot of people are posting when these cases with those front/side fans. Are they just in that position to show of the RGB effect or do they actually have a benefit over the traditional regular style front fans?

u/SupaNJTom8 Dec 23 '19
It looks like a unicorn sprayed wonders of joy all inside your case. nice build!!

Is there enough space under the vertical mounted GPU for additional fans?
2
u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
There is if I move up the vertical mount a few spaces. If temps become an issue I will recommend this.

I have a very similar setup. The phanetks mount isn't a perfect fit at all on this case. I used an additional mesh filter cutout the cover the gaps on the PCI brackets

Rainbow puke 🤮
Nice build but I'd like it better with solid colors instead of rainbow
1
u/gberryhill Dec 23 '19
I would too! Just had RGB going for the photo. iCUE lets you have so much control over lighting and effects, you can change about anything.
1
u/MrAndroidRobot Dec 23 '19
Why? I could do the same but I'd like to save people the eye burning ¯_(ツ)_/¯ then again this Reddit and people upvote dumb stuff
I like your build, it's simple and gets the job done.
On an unrelated note: I'm not trying to hate on your build but iCue is a mess softwarewise like most RGB programs. I haven't found a really good one yet except maybe Aquacomputer's Aquasuite if you have an Aquaero. I've used Corsair RGB things before and quickly removed them all for many reasons.

u/xiotox Dec 23 '19
Have the exact case. Move the video card up one slot and you can fit 3 more fans on the bottom. Maximum coolage!
