CPU installation in the video was recorded using i9 14900K and ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II. Due to a damaged motherboard pin/socket I was unable to reinstall the CPU on camera, but the technique is exactly the same.

Cleanest build on the channel

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Can't argue with that

[@lucasarts2338]

I’ve been looking for a decent, mid range case for some time. Since I work at a pc shop we sometimes get stuff from either partners or customers. We got some z790 project zero motherboards and I was able to get one for myself with a 13600k. This case seems good, pairing it with an RX 7900 xt Spectral.

[@frikkievuiltrens]

I watched this because of how beautiful the ASUS hardware is.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

It sure is

[@drjohnmaroy]

Wow! I want one.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

I can see why

[@pillepolle3122]

beautiful mid range white build. I love it.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks

[@dm8264]

The cleanest build you've ever done, Chris, especially with the black sheath covering the white AIO cabling!

[@thermaltakeuk]

Fantastic build Chris, love it

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

It's easy with good components. Thanks again and congrats on the case

[@napoficial7123]

11:15 you see cables 😂😂😂 should be no front cables or something. I thought a wireless energy build at first! Anyway, beautiful build and super clean as usual! Thanks C.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

😁

[@erenozkan5208]

You are really good at this, your videos are very instructive and very enjoyable to watch..

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thank you very much!

[@toonnut1]

Very clever design

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Glad you like it!

[@henrydrago]

That BTF GPU is a really good idea for minimum cables

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

It works well

[@jragadio]

One more benefit of that integrated MOBO power connectors for the GPU is no GPU sag!

[@FuryWOTplayer]

Amazing build. Is it ok to install pcie gen 4 nvme into pcie gen 5 slot? Would that nvme be slower if you put it in other slots?

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

This board only has gen 4 slots.

[@samueletirelli3611]

bro for your next build can you show us how to build a pc inside the phanteks xt view white?

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

If they send one I'll cover it

[@TitanBigX]

Will, This is the future.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

I think so

[@kuzzzzzzzzzzzz7511]

Nice cable mod in the aio!!!

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks

[@pfunk2554]

Dude i hate all white builds but that has to be the best looking and cleanest build i have ever seen, keep up the great work and keep them coming.... first time i have ever seen that type of board and gpu... and i have been building computers for 20+ years...every time i watch you i learn something new tyvm for looking up and finding new tech....

[@kuzzzzzzzzzzzz7511]

I hope some companies make an AIO with cable less to match the new tech ASUS BTF or MSI PROJECT ZERO! I hope lian li will update their product integrated cable aio and pc case back connector

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

I think they are probably all working on this

[@animalyze7120]

Great concept not practical for the added cost. With the only exception being the GPU all the hidden cables can be done almost as well with front board connectors. When this concept takes greater hold the cost will drop making this a cool option within the same budget. Great review and build!!

[@anubisystems]

Beautiful setup, thanks for sharing!

[@rmorenberg]

always great details in your videos.

[@yvngky1e]

Awesome build man. Quick question, do you have to control your TT RAM through your mobo/TT RGB or is it compatible with software such as SignalRGB or OpenRGB?

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Where is an additional display showing a status of the board you promised in the beginning?

[@JustMyFish]

Nice I have built in this case, white always looks more expensive. if only you had a quarter inch more depth to the back of the case and a high-power riser cable then I would give the case 10/10 has is I give it 8.5.

[@luann_Silv4]

Question, can I put the aio on the top instead of the front if I liked to?

[@evo161aor3]

this case or corsair 4000d airflow rgb or bequit 500dx wich one is best air flow

[@iskyemperor]

Is it okay to use cpu fan than aio for i7 processor?

[@eyuparslan7104]

Can we build an old model motherboard in this case?

[@evo161aor3]

fron panel is plastic ?

[@qzrtech]

for btf there is no option to do vertical gpu?

[@smuludgn]

A white TUF, interesting...

[@Ladioz]

This card has the best cooler on the market

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Looks so much better in white

[@Bayah-ws8fm]

If I use 12v cable for GPU power supply, do I still need plug in a 8pin cable under 12vt plug? I see user manual said that 8pin plug is need for high performance GPU but I can’t found that plug

[@Bayah-ws8fm]

Also your video helps me a lot for deciding my dream PC config, thanks

[@josephgelo8519]

How much would it cost to build it ??

[@craigshagey9999]

Cleen nice 👌 👍
