I recently repurposed some elements of Project Ghost to build my latest gaming rig – Project Frost. I’m still going with the white hardware theme but with significant upgrades to the motherboard, RAM, power supply unit, and GPU. Due to the RTX 4090 behemoth that drives Frost, I had to remove my front LCD panel and replace the glass panel that came with the O11D mini case.

I applied a slight undervolt for the CPU (adaptive core voltage mode and a -0.080 core voltage offset) which tolerates stress tests from Cinebench. This enabled slightly better thermals during gaming.
Speaking of gaming… that RTX 4090 just powers through everything. Now I have zero hesitation in applying max video settings to any AAA title because I know the gameplay will still be smooth! 🤣
