And I do not regret a thing! I’m over the moon with how it has turned out.
This is for 4K gaming only on a 55” OLED TV 144Hz.
RGB when I want it and with a button click, just the AIO screen is visible for a more stealthy look.
Everything went together fine (by fine I mean I only had to use an angle grinder once on the case, no I’m not joking) so if you plan on using this AIO in this case you’re going to need to modify one of the radiator mounting rails by removing the lip that would normally act as a stopping point to locate a standard size radiator.
Booted first time and had no issues at all, so far the Armoury Crate software is behaving itself. Asus Infohub for the AIO is still quite limited but hopefully they add some more features in future updates, I also get a random ROG eye logo GIF on the screen for a few seconds every now and then which overrides whatever I have set as the display image and also hoping that is sorted in a future update.
“Blacklist” specs up next I guess!
RYZEN 9700X, ROG X870E-E Gaming Wifi MB, 32gb GSkill CL30 RAM, Crucial T500 2TB M.2, ROG Ryuo IV AIO, ROG 5080 Astral OC, ROG Herculx GPU Support, Corsair 90° 12V-2×6 Style B Power Cable, Geometric Future Squama 120mm Case Fans, Corsair RM1000X PSU all in a JONSBO BO400 Case.

Asus HQ:
Here comes the money
Money money money money
I would never pay extra for ROG let alone choose an Asus mobo but whatever floats your goat
Asus after this build
First couple of photos make it look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Now this is a pc i would love to have, it isnt so flashy with the leds, and doesnt scream **hey wheres my wildass pc that shouldnt belong in this room**
You paid the premium for ROG motherboard, AIO cooler, GPU, and even the GPU support, but you skimped on not even getting the 9800x3d? I can understand wanting a high end 5080 Astral instead of a super low end 5090 (because of price/performance, PSU connector issues, etc), but to roll a 9700X is a huge L. But hey, your money your choice.
waiting for this to be sold for 100$ in a decade
Sick build. Definitely with aesthetic in mind eh
Why did you get the 9700x when the 9800x3d is miles ahead of it? I get the lust for a cool pc to show off, but you probably coulda gotten a 9800x3d and a 5090 if you spent your money smarter. But hey, atleast it looks cool.
