Salam to all PG members today I bring you something special I mean an unboxing with real boxes, photos and description not a YouTube video lolzzz. I have a fair share of unusual unboxings and everything has gotten much love from the community but i am taking it back to the roots this time to what PG is all about....to one hell of a gaming computer.

Go big or go home



Specs:
i9 9900K
32 GB 3200Mhz RAM
Auros Extreme 2080Ti
Auros Pro Wifi Motherboard
Cougar chasis
WD black 4TB X 2
Samsung Evo 250GB
Samsung 8 something pro 256GB
Samsung 512GB NVME M2 SSD* Boot drive
Corsair RX850 PSU
And yes the best of all fully water cooled rig













A bit of background:

First time in many years of PC gaming my CPU (i7 4790K) became a bottleneck most prominently in ubisoft titles as well as other games where everything was maxing out the CPU at 100% load there was a genuine need for an upgrade this time around it wasn't just about chasing after the latest and greatest but a genuine need.

Ryzen 3700x and 3900x are here amazing CPUs to be honest and surely giving intel a run for its money but for professional work related tasks which sadly i don't take part it if i were even 20% using it for work I would've gone for AMD instead of this i mean come on PCIe 4.0, great RAM support now, better boosts than before but I am strictly going to game on a 2080Ti i need all the power i can get you have seen the benches even at 1440p there's difference and 1080p is affected a lot which i am going to try for RTX but its safe to assume its my last intel rig though it might last 2-3 years easy.

There's no 2080Ti super and looking at the 2080 super specs its safe to assume the Ti would remain IT for gamers as they dont feel like cannibalizing RTX Titan just yet anyways in the tech industry there's always something right around the corner and for me now its going to be the next architecture's Ti.

I always wanted a water cooled rig and Mashallah by the Grace of Allah Almighty I have it now and it has the X factor and must be seen in person its 2X much prettier and attractive that way.

PICTURES:







































In the Dark:
It looks sick in this mind you!!!





Temperatures:

There are two things about a water cooled rig the striking looks and amazing temperatures at low noise levels and i am happy to report that without any tweaking to the fans or CPU at stock fully maxed out in prime tests I am getting something around 60C in a warm room and GPU is around 40-45C maxed out now there's a lot to be done but i am happy with the stock results as they are. I did note that my frequencies were around 4.9Ghz all core maybe need to mess up with motherboard a bit to bring voltages down or something.

Open Chasis:

As much as I loved the looks I cant stuff enough storage in there as there's still a 4TB drive left and the two WD blacks are sitting glued with Faber castle sticky material which I dont trust much there's just no other space for the drives I have mounted two SSDs at the back as well. Actually the HDD cage was removed due to water cooling setup installation so that's that. I think it costed me like 1.5 Hours to mount the storage alone.

It does look dazzling though but seeing it from the back could be an ugly sight if you dont do your cables well but I think it looks alright given the nature of the build seeing its gutts is a fitting part of the build.



Name:

I have been considering what to call it too bad the Alienware is already taken but its more Alienware than Alienware itself. I am thinking Cosmos what do you guys think?

Performance:

The benches are performed at stock settings I want to enjoy the system first then go into tweaking and over clocking they are pretty much in line with my expectations and around the best scores out there. I will post all the scores and stuff later on in a few days.

The Evolution:

These are my Rigs in the order of time of purchase

Thanks Mashallah it looks incredible both in dark and room light....My processor's box and the remote control for the LED system was left at the shop they are in the mail now. It will get better from here on I haven't even messed around with the gigabyte RGB fusion yet.

Really solid rig! Congrats.. That casing is (y)(y)(y)(y)
Thank you I think in open case designs this is one of the most futuristic one and there are specs to match. For air cooling or even water my second top pic would be Lian Li O11

Dude you got an AUROS (Ti)!! Nice! Beautiful build!
Thanks and Mashallah its quite something to see in action specially with the stock fans they have nailed the fan rgb led with this one way better than everyone else its a shame its under water but those sub 40C temperatures under full load are too tempting...

this thing looks something out of a sci fi movie [emoji14]

Thanks and yes I was thinking an Alien head or their mothership I am sure if I had such a huge collection of collector editions like you a lot of those things the action figured and all would find their new home inside lol.

speechless - looks sick..i am sure it will perform amazingly well aswell.
Mashallah thanks its buttery smooth everything is matching the 100Hz refresh rate @3440x1440 with AC origins dipping in sub 75FPS during cut scenes but well optimized titles are a breeze
