IS IT AS GOOD AS IT IS ON PAPER?
HECK YES, this machine is a monster when it comes down to performance, and after are few niggles, we’re more than happy with how it turned out. Aesthetically too, especially with all of the RGB fans working, it’s a very slick rig. Sure, a few custom cables would help to tidy it up some more, but overall we love how this ended up looking.
With everything cleared up, the only remaining restriction was that we were running our RTX 4090 on only three 8-pin PCIe cables, and not the full four 8-pin PCIe cables that it could use. If you have the choice, we obviously recommend using all four, as it means that you are getting all of the necessary power to your GPU, and it won’t be restricted in any way, plus you could in theory try to overclock it. With only three, it limits the card to 450W, but with all four it goes up to 600W.
