BUILDING THE SYSTEM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually we use this area to quickly place hardware components inside a case to showcase what you can expect in terms of interior space but since this time over the Narwhal will house our 2nd test rig we will build a complete system.

We start with the MSI Z170 Krait Gaming R6 Siege Edition ATX mainboard which looks very nice inside the Narwhal (also leaves quite a bit of space around it).

Next stop is the SilverStone TD02-LITE (and the Corsair LPX 16GB DDR4 2400MHz modules) which this time over fits like a glove with the mainboard used.

We had to slightly squeeze the MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2G inside the Narwhal but since we didn't have to remove the top drive cage all is good.

Finally we used the RM750X PSU by Corsair (black and white is again a good fit with the mainboard) and the Intel 535 Series 240GB SSD.

Wish our primary test rig had this few hardware components, that way we'd have the same level of cable management there too.
