    Nice job with the bent pins. I know from experience that a bent pin can lead to trouble months later even if the pc did work fine initially.
    Had a pc that was working fine for almost one and a half year but then started to randomly shut down during operation. The issue was so random that nothing i did could help to track it down. I would remove or reseat a component and then it worked fine for a couple of days snd then start again.
    Turns out it was a single bent pin on the socket that probably shifted ver so slightly when moving the pc.

    as a guy who helped a friend build this same themed build ASUS did NOT bung up, that power supply/AIO is meant to be theme for the company that made the mechs in the anime and the rest of the components are meant to be EVA 01 the mech that the main character uses.
    as a note he is using the MSI case which is not part of the full build collab and is the reason the thor power supply was not fitting properly ASUS has a custom full tower to go with the rest of the build

      Nope, they still bunged it up. Them being themed to something else, as you said, just explains how they managed to bung it up. Its a completely different color scheme that clashes with the rest of the things in that theme. Some underlying theme doesn't matter if your colors clash for no other design reason. It's a pretty basic aspect of theming.

      Black, red, orange and blue are so played out when it comes to PC parts. It’s nice that just about everything matches, because everything is black white and grey with an accent color or two-but that purple looked sick with that green.

    Okay, so I appreciate that extra long 4- or 8-pin connector, as I recently upgraded my rig, and the ones that came with my PSU are JUST long enough to work, but I had to balance the case, the motherboard, and those cables in both of my hands and one of my legs, to try and just barely have space to connect them onto the motherboard.
