Looking good. Everything's in place, just waiting on a couple hard drives and a S36 from Fractal to come on Thursday and she'll be all wrapped up. Something I'm putting together for a friend from parts I had laying around.

Fractal Design Define S2
Gigabyte 990fx-ud3-r5
AMD FX-9590
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866mhz (2x8gb)
EVGA 980ti SC w/ Accelero Xtreme III
Seasonic 750w Prime Gold
Samsung 860 Evo 500gb
Seagate Barracuda 1Tb 7200rpm P_20190317_165728.jpeg

 
Oh, it's not free lol. Steeply discounted maybe, but not free haha

 
I'm happy about your cooling choice, Fx 9590 is not a chip you want to mess with when it comes to cooling. Should be a nice build.
 
I know. When I used it myself, I had a custom loop with 2 x 360mm rads and ek CPU and GPU blocks.

What rock have I been under. I didn't even realize fractal made AIO/CLC Coolers. LOL Thanks DaveB.
 
I had the S36 cooling an FX 4350 @ 5.0Ghz... did a good job and me thinks you'll have a little headroom despite the 4 extra cores. Although, you may saturate the cooler with benchmarks like Cinebench extreme or CB R20.
 
Woop Woop. It was a tight fit for a case that prides itself on its watercooling friendly features. it would be a more comfortable fit with a slimmer rad and the top vent/filter wouldn't lock in because the heads of the screws that came with the AIO were too big so i had to scrounge up some screws with more low profile heads on them. Other than that, it went off without a hitch. Windows updated, all drivers updated, bios on newest version, ram set to XMP profile and CPU boosting up to 5ghz. :clap:

Very nice. You can probably remove the warning sticker from the tempered glass now. Lol

Lol, I'm just test driving it for a week or so but I'll be boxing it back up and transporting it from VA to NC so I'm just going to leave the big protective sheet of plastic/vinyl or whatever it is until it's been delivered and hooked up in it's final resting place. I did take the one on the inside of the glass off.
