UPDATE 09/10/21:  Corsair Vengence memory LEDs were giving me fits to sync with the rest of the lights.  Mostly they would freeze.  Just swapped to TEAMGROUP TUF Alliance DDR4-3200 sticks.  Something odd freezing lights.  Gotta investigate.

UPDATE 08/28/21:  Actually catching up on a few upgrades/swaps.  I changed out the motherboard from Gigabyte to ASUS, swapped the Thermaltake power supply with an ASUS Thor and I finally got my hands on a RTX3070.  Swapped case to Cougar, changed AIO and fans to Arctic.  RGB lights are controlled by SignalRGB software based.  Amazing!!!!

UPDATE 04/12/21:  Disconnected status screen as it was interfering with resolution and size on the big screen.  Added a couple of Corsair accessories (headphone stand, iCue Nexus)

UPDATE 01/28/21:  Even more tweaks.  Swapped monitors, added 7″ status screen running AIDA64, added DAC/AMP and new gaming headset.

UPDATE 10/27/20:  A few more tweaks

New Corsair keyboard and mouse and added some color coordinated sleeved cable extensions

UPDATE 4/20/2020:  A couple of swaps and upgrades… 

I was having random lockups and BSOD’s.  Checked the Windows Event Viewer and showed that I was getting kernel low power errors so I swapped the power supply to a Thermaltake 850w.  Still got random lockups but no more BSOD so that helped but didn’t fix everything.

Picked up a Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super thinking maybe the lockups were caused by the graphics card but that didn’t fix the problem.

While piddling I pulled a couple of the drives and they were extremely hot to the touch.  So I ran SpeedFan and the thermals on my data and media drives were crazy high (Toshiba X300’s) so I pulled the cloned WB Blue drives from the old build and thermals dropped considerably.  

Issue now is the UPS is not carrying the computer when we lose power or does a self-test.  Tried a new UPS and didn’t fix.  Going to swap the power supply with a Corsair unit from an older build to see if that fixes it but that’s a project for the weekend.  

UPDATE 2/16/2020:  Convert to main gaming rig.  Swapped RTX2070 from i7 build and cloned data, media and game drives.
