Building a Stunning PC with Galax Z790 and ROG Components

This time, we used a combination of Galax and ROG hardware along with Lian Li’s latest P28 modular fan and the Neon Line 3rd generation 12VHPWR ARGB extension cable to build a Lian Li O11Dynamic EVO REV2 full-view white case. The Lian Li P28 modular fan is the first fan focused on performance from Lian Li, featuring a thickness of 28mm, blades made from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), a fluid dynamic bearing motor, and three-speed modes designed for higher efficiency. Additionally, the fans can be connected together to create a fan group powered by a single cable, and can connect up to two sets of fans via extension cables. Furthermore, the P28 has a SIDE ARGB KIT available for purchase, allowing for a similar interconnection method without excessive wiring while maintaining the same RGB appearance as the modular fan SLV2 without sacrificing performance. The Neon Line 3rd generation 12VHPWR ARGB extension cable uses a new side diffusion plate to allow light to spill out from the sides of the RGB strip, creating a more dazzling lighting effect. The cable adheres to the ATX 3.0 power supply standard and uses a 16AWG power line capable of reaching 600W output, with better bending resistance and high-temperature tolerance. The case is also from Lian Li, a classic full-view white O11Dynamic EVO Rev2 with tempered glass front and side panels. This time, the pillars at the junction of the two front glass panels have been removed, making the case more transparent and aesthetically pleasing. Other hardware includes a CPU using the 13700K, a motherboard selected from Galax’s Z790 Metal Master D5 Wi-Fi Platinum version with 15 (12+2+1) power phases (90A Dr.MOS), covered with METALTOP metal cooling armor, which is also a perfect match for white builds; the graphics card is from Galax GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB Star OC, featuring a 13+3 phase fully encapsulated digital power supply and a detachable crystal clear top cover that supports personalized DIY designs; the memory is paired with Galax Star DDR5 6400 32GB (16Gx2), supporting both Intel and AMD platforms, with personal warranty and lifetime warranty; the solid-state drive is also from Galax, the Hall of Fame Pro 30 PCIe 4.0 1TB, with a 5-year or 1000 TBW warranty; the all-in-one water cooler is the ROG RYUO III 360ARGB Dragon King 3rd generation white version, featuring the latest Asetek 8th generation pump for enhanced cooling performance, and a metallic cold plate with an Anime Matrix LED array display for various effects. The power supply is the ROG STRIX Thunder Eagle AURA 1000W Blizzard Edition Gold full modular, with an aluminum casing for better cooling, native PCIe 5.0 interface and accompanying cables, and a ten-year warranty. Now that we have introduced so much, let’s move on to the assembly phase.
