This build has been a real challenge from start to finish. From the sponsor list, through the design phase and build process, to its real-world performance, every single element has come with its own set of defeats and victories. And yet, it is easily one of the best systems we’ve ever produced. Taking advantage of one of the latest Ryzen 3000 chips, and combining it with not one but two SLIed EVGA RTX 2080 Super GPUs, it was designed to truly push the limits of what you can achieve inside the impeccably orchestrated NZXT H710i case. It’s a machine that asks questions: Are two 2080 Supers more cost-effective than one 2080 Ti? How much performance can you get from the very best Ryzen chip, in one of the very best Ryzen boards, when both are liquid-cooled? Is the cost truly worth it in such an AIO-centric chassis? Hopefully, we can shed some light on all of those questions today.
