Test Yellow is the Best Yellow and even Porsche knows this.
I've had my share of sweet rides. I remember a time when I was young, wild and free.
So I pull out an old photo.
This Speed Yellow 930 was one of my favorite cars.
RUF CTR "Yellowbird" was legindary back then. Even Today.
No computer assist, just Man with big Testies VS machine.
So this trip down memory lane gave me a PC build idea.
I stripped out the good bits from my X99 5820k PC.
Replaced my Wife's 2080ti with a 980ti for now.
Now I have 2 matched EVGA FTW3 2080ti graphics cards.
Picked up a 10900k with an ASUS Z490-E mother board.
Some fans and a NH-D15 Chromax Black CPU cooler.
Because Yellow Bird was 100% air cooled.
I've had this Thermaltake P5 case for a while.
It was Black. Now it's Black and Yellow.
OK, time to bolt the bits and bobs together.
Tempered Glass. Good thing we don't have Small Children.
The case fans provide filtered outside air.
And the back and bottom are open, interesting design, I like it.
I'll work on the cable management later.
Let's set it up and take it for a test drive.
I removed the CPU power limits so that the engine can breathe.
I'll let Intel do it's factory boost management thing.
Let's enable XMP and set the fan curves to Turbo.
The twin's (2x 2080ti) have a nice Factory Over Clock, so we will leave them be.
Hit the Key to get out of bios, load windows and a test bench.
The results? Not Bad.
Good enough for You Tube and Shit Posting.
Welcome to the World Yellow Bird.
