1:50 the timing on that screen saver with the reflection of the light.. tripped me out, because i knew it was a light, but it was fireworks

[MrTwister]

Great build! Wishing you Greg, your family and everyone here a Happy Holidays!!!!

[RealCyberCrime]

Top tip, if your building a PC or someone else, during the windows install when it starts asking for you to enter a language, Press ctrl, shift and F3 together, the pc will then reboot into Audit mode. This will land you on the desktop using in the built in admin account without going through setup, you will notice a box that for sysprep just ignore this for now. In Audit mode you can install drivers and software, check the stability of the system using your favourite stress/burnin software, test any UEFI changes you have made and activate windows. Once you are happy with the system, change the setting in sysprep to OOBE and shutdown, Windows will prep the system for Out of box experience and will shutdown, on the next boot will continue with setup like a spanking new prebuilt shop bought and you will look like a pro 😉.

Hey Greg thanks for all your hard work this year making videos for subs like myself, really love the channel so wishing you, your beautiful family a great Christmas and new year from Scotland

[viperrcr]

I think you missed a peel just next to the USB C Header. Hopefully you catch it before I finish the end of the video. Fun to watch as always!

Almost same system i built. Same motherboard with 13900kf, 2x G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB DDR5 6000MHz, ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB, Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 and a 2tb one. Also a 3080 ti with 1000w psu

I did a bit of research what ports to put the NVMe M.2 drives in. I put them in m2_2 and m2_3 ports. The M2_1 port cuts graphics to 8x instead of the max 16x

Great video. I need to up my memory timings as mines only running at 2000mhz currently

[GySgt_USMC_Ret.]

Thanks for the video! I recently purchased the Z790-E for the new build. Using my old Thermaltake Core case for the horizontal motherboard mount.

Fair winds and following seas to all.

[AlcyoneHere]

the quick and dirty style of video is great. wouldn't mind more of it !!

[bigboyronny]

Lucky guy haha I got my computer working but my old hard drive ISNT working and my parents told me they aren’t spending anymore money on it wish I could just get a job but that build is sick wish my was that cool haha

[wesme]

At first I was going to ask why you didn't install a contact frame on the cpu. Then I figured you are setting this up to be in another video when you fix the cpu overheating problem. Very smart!

[ITxHURTSxWHENxIP]

Did you ever realize that your 4080 is running in 8X PCIE cause you’re using top slot M.2 that was meant a for Gen5?

As someone with a 4000d and a 280mm AIO you made the right choice going for the 240. Even if you can get it in the top (Depends on Mobo and Ram) the clearances are so tight that it just doesn't look clean. I was forced to put mine in the front with tubes up (top of rad well above block though). Tubes down, even with the extra basement piece taken off the tubes didn't have space at the bottom.
