Building in the CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X was fun, but we decided to make some changes to this one after testing.

We were not satisfied with the way this one came out. Also, the 6900xt Red Devil ran too hot for my liking. It appeared to sit to close to the front glass panel so it must have been suffocated from lack of air flow.

The Barrowch LCD screen had an issue where it would not display correctly on first boot. And it looked cheap, so we removed it. Building a custom loop with soft tube didn’t look as good as we thought.

So we knew what we had to do. EKWB to the rescue!

















The final product is stunning, and it runs cool and quiet.
