This Ready-To-Ship build features... EVERYthing for hard core, ultra high resolution gaming!
We kick off with the Intel flagship gaming CPU - the 11th Gen Core i9-11900K. Code named "Rocket Lake" this 11th Gen series of CPUs are the first in the Intel product stack to offer PCIe Gen 4 support. This is absolutely the fastest clock speed of any gaming chip we've seen to date and holds all our internal benchmarking records for single-core CPU performance... in case you didn't know, the single-core performance metric is the primary performance driver for most game engines in terms of the CPUs contribution to the overall gaming experience with a given build. 8-cores/16-threads and boasting a max turbo frequency of an eye-popping 5.3 GHz, this one is ready for anything you can throw at it.
When you want your CPU to be extra frosty, extra quiet, and have the maximum possible thermal overhead for overclocking performance then you need a fully water cooler system. No compromises here, as we went all-in on top-shelf liquid cooling components from our favorite liquid cooling partner: EK Water Blocks. EK is the leader in custom liquid cooling - and for good reason since their parts look and perform amazing!
We opted for the top tier EK Quantum Magnitude CPU block for this one. It provides the high flow rate along with a specially machined cold plate to match the concave shape of the CPU IHS. It also offers a fin array with a 50% bigger surface area than previous generations of water blocks, and has been designed specifically for the 115X socket such that a specialized insert directs liquid flow evenly over the CPU die. Cleverly concealed beneath the inner frame is an LED strip with 30 diodes that illuminate the top of the block. Truly a work of art!
With a flagship CPU and a flagship water block, this build deserves a gaming focused GPU that delivers on the goods as well. We opted for the brand-spanking-new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti chipset for this one in the form of a Zotac Gaming Trinity OC - the "OC" meaning it's the factory overclocked version of course. As one of only two aftermarket 3080 Ti's available in the US Market that will physically fit inside a PC-O11 once its on a water block, it's safe to say this setup will be rare!
Speaking of that GPU water block, we opted for the EKWB Quantum Vector Trinity RTX. This is 2nd generation Vector block from the EK Quantum line. This one actively cools the GPU chip itself, the VRAM, MOFSETs, and chokes in the VRM (Voltage regulation module) as the liquid is channeled directly over all these critical areas. EK has optimized flow paths to reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and vortexing (dead spots) and ensure optimal thermal performance for your GPU. We regularly see GPU temps with these blocks hover in the low 50s (Celsius) under full load during stress testing. Talk about chilly! We add the matching specially milled, chrome backplate for this block as well.
To allow the CPU and GPU hardware to function at its peak without sacrificing longevity along the way, we needed a motherboard that could really deliver the goods. We see far too many builds with great CPU and GPU combinations that lose their luster over time because of subpar boards and power supplies. Quality of the heat sinks, chokes, and capacitors on a motherboard, and the ability to deliver efficient, smooth power to the components both from the PSU and through the board really make a huge difference over time.
We wanted a motherboard for this one that would not only perform, but look amazing too. Choosing an ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming was definitely the way to go. The cooling solution for this board is among the best we've seen. The VRM boasts 14+2 power stages with ProCool II, high quality alloy chokes, and durable capacitors. And for gaming, onboard WiFi 6 (AX200) and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet LAN with ASUS' LANGuard mean you'll avoid network bottlenecks. Onboard ALC4080 audio with DTS Sound Unbound also delivers on an immersive experience.
Playing games in ultra high resolution, streaming, editing, and recording - all these functionalities can take a bite out of your memory bandwidth. So we made sure to include a heaping helping of 64GB of the beautiful - and rock solid - G Skill Trident Z Royal memory. We overclocked it to DDR4-3600 speeds as well.
Since both our board and our CPU can deliver on the latest and greatest PCIe Gen 4 SSD support, we had to take advantage and platform our storage and OS on a 1TB Corsair MP600 Core M.2-2280 NVMe SSD. This one rocks the Phison E16 controller and delivers blinding read/write speeds for your low-latency, fast-loading pleasure. We also included a 2nd M.2 SSD with 2TB of storage for the serious gamer with a large library of titles, or the content creator who needs some extra ultra-high-speed storage. And just for good measure, we added in a 2TB Seagate BarraCuda HDD for mass storage.
We powered everything with the 1000-watt, 80-plus Gold rated, fully modular EVGA SuperNova power supply. Having plenty of efficient power on tap is critical when you've invested in this type of top shelf hardware. Low-end power supplies shorten the lifespan and the performance of your parts over time with power spikes and sags. A high end unit like this ensures you'll be in the game for years to come!
Our Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic case provides the perfect stage to show off a vigorous display of programmable RGB lighting. We went bright and bold with 9 Corsair iCUE QL120 fans and Lian Li Strimer Plus RGB cable extensions for both the GPU and motherboard.
Providing the flow for our liquid cooling system is the EK Quantum Reflection distro plate. It serves as a reservoir, coolant router, and pump in our system. Offering enough power to offer the cooling reliability and performance you need, while maintaining quiet efficiency is the name of the game with this one. And it delivers on all that's asked, while also looking good with some awesome RGB lighting effects.
We opt for EK's CryoFuel coolant in a Solid Fire Orange color for this one, and offer some thick, high-flow 16mm Outside Diameter PETG hard line tubing for it to course through at breakneck speeds as it sucks huge amounts of heat out of the core components. A 360mm EK CoolStream radiator provides massive surface area for the copper fins with parallel flow cooling chambers to reduce flow resistance - that means more liquid passing through and more heat removed from the system. EK never disappoints with their product engineering!
If the parts list for this thing isn't stunning enough already, then let us direct your attention to the absolutely dope custom paint job by our exclusive artist Matt "The Aussie" Colrain. Our man is the best in the business when it comes to custom case art, and he delivers again with this one. Incredible fine details make this one look a bit like the Razor Crest itself. It's not surprising coming from The Aussie - but as always, it is pleasing. This is the way!
