Hi guys,
Alex here back with another build log! I think it's been a while since I've been on the ROG forums now, a lot of stuff has been happening with a whole lot of builds which I might just share on here as well, depending on how time goes 🙂
I'm very happy however to bring you guys a build log with the very exclusive IN WIN D-Frame 2.0 NVIDIA Edition chassis! I am super excited to be working on this build as I find this chassis absolutely stunning! I'm not sure if there are many NVIDIA edition versions of this case around at the moment, I definitely know that this is the only one in Australia which makes it a huge privilege so I hope I can do it justice with a nice build in it!
The mods are not gonna be anything too crazy as I really don't want to change much on such a stunning case nor do I want to paint or drill into it! I will be creating some custom panels from acrylic and adding some nice vinyl effects as people that follow my work have come to expect from my builds!
I'm calling this one IN WIN DUKE, simply because the frame resembles the inner chassis of a Ducati motorcycle so nice and easy with the name there!
It's an honour again to be able to do this and have the opportunity to work with such amazing companies. The sponsors on this build are IN WIN, NVIDIA, ASUS, Western Digital, AVEXIR, Bitspower, CableMod and for the first time ever for one of my builds, INTEL, with a very unexpected package as you will from the specs below!

Hi guys,
Welcome back 🙂
Just some quick photos of the gorgeous ASUS X99 Deluxe 2 motherboard which will house the 6950X monster!
I really love the redesign of this motherboard. Reinforced PCI-E slots, M.2 support and some nice RGB LED additions.
I'll have to remove that pink sticker 😛
That's pretty much it, nice and quick for this one! I'll keep the pics and hardware pr0n going hehe
Cheers,
Alex
Hi guys,
Here are some quick photos of the Bitspower hardware I am using in this build. You will find some very interesting looking reservoirs 🙂
For the radiators I've chosen 2 x 120mm instead of 1 x 240mm because I just want to make a feature out of them in the front of the case. Might look more interesting with a tube running between them than with just a single 240mm 🙂
Thanks for checking it out and stay tune for more!
Cheers,
Alex
Hey guys,
I have the full cover water block from Bitspower mounted to the ASUS X99 Deluxe II motherboard and the interesting thing about this is that the full cover block was designed for the first generation ASUS X99 Deluxe however still perfectly fits on the Deluxe II 🙂
This is definitely a great thing to know that the PCB design hasn't changed!
Check out the pics below, the full cover water block definitely looks awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!

Alex
Hi guys,
Here are some pr0n shots of the gorgeous NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics cards! I know you may have seen these before but I absolutely love the look of the cards. I always liked the reference design however when they release the new Founders Edition with the 10 series I just feel in love. I love them so much I am leaving them air cooled at the start in the build before I water cool them.
Check them out!

Hi guys,
Just thought to add the motherboards and memory into the mix!
I think it's a very nice looking combo! What do you guys think?
Thanks for checking it out!

Getting hardware in the case 🙂
What do you guys think? 😄
Hi guys,
I did an overview video on the case which give you a good look at it's features and design and I also talk a bit about what inspired the IN WIN D-Frame chassis 🙂
Hope you guys enjoy! If you like my content please like the video and subscribe. Also if you check out the channel you will see further content on the build which I already released since the build log is a bit behind as the build had to be finished for a PAX Australia display.
