Hi everyone
First I want to say a HUGE thanks to Asus for choosing me to be part of this project
I'm very honored
Thanks a lot 🙂
now
I work on a special project for Asus, for sure I'm under NDA,
I cant talk about some aspect of the build for now, but believe me , at the minute I have the go, I will post everything I have 😉
finally , I will try to do my best build log of all time , this include Video, Pics and maybe live stream build on twitch, (not sure about the last one 😛 )
for now I'm still in planning process but already have some idea
but again its for Asus, they don't want a big modded case but a very clean build as generally do,
I have a lot of idea in development but keep in mind, they can change a bit , I'm waiting for some stuff and some idea depends on these
I will update this first post with a lot more info at the second I'm able to post them, hope very soon
fisrt draft of specs

Cables: custom by myself with 16g wire, Darkside sleeving
and Darkside connector and terminal
some acrylic work likje new motherboard panel
some special design and paint
and a lot more
received the Heatkiller block and I think I'm in love, I dont know why more people don't use them
anyway some pics
and you will have a hint on color theme
start working on the case
made a new Motherboard panel, I will paint it and do some graphics to fit with the motherboard
and make the 24 pins "passtrought" at the right place
more update soon
Well, if you are decided on that memory kit... GSkill recommends it for the Z270 platform... or maybe Asus has something new...
Right now the top CPU for that platform is the 7700k...
If you went Heatkiller for the reservoir and CPU block, maybe you want to keep the feeling and choose the same brand for the GPU too...
Anyhow, just keep us updated! 🙂
