Topic: Finally Did It!!! Posted: 05 Jun 2017 at 7:00am |
So after much deliberation and research and patience I went ahead and finally broke down and ordered my Aventum 3!!!! It should be here Thursday and I am very excited. I have been living on an Alienware laptop for the last 7 years and it has been good to me, but it is now finally dying and not able to play anything above minimum settings. I decided time to do a desktop for upgrade abilities and this is what I ordered. For those who already have a Digital Storm desktop as well as an Aventum 3, are you happy....and is this a decent set up? Thanks for any advice or inputs to get the most out of this piece of hardware.

Hi Ravenwjf......Welcome to the forums and Congrats on your Aventum selection.
Looks like a good setup to me. My DS rig is now about 6 years old and after a psu replace and video card upgrade it's still running great. Can't believe it's been 6 years. |

Congratulations and welcome to DS.
You have a gigantic case on the Aventums so working on it will be easy. And you have the gear (quick disconnects on the liquid cooling system) for adding liquid cooling to the gpu if you ever want to do it. (There is ample cooling with all the radiators on that case.) Enjoy. |
