Background & Season 2026 Milestones

Over the current season, this PC was operated purely as a DIY Modded Case with total of 12 FANs, pushed to its absolute thermal and frequency limits. What started as an aggressive dive into competitive overclocking turned into a massive learning curve and yielded results far beyond my initial expectations:

| Season 2026 Rookie Ranking: #9 out of 1,407
| Season 2026 Worldwide Ranking: #403 out of 5,395
| National & Team Season Standings: #33 in Germany | #29 in Team XtremeSystems
| Total Points: 363.6 Points (312.6 Hardware | 31 Competition | 20 Global)
| Team Contribution: 59.5 Team Power Points (GTPP/HTPP) contributed to XtremeSystems
| Career Rookie Ranking: #14 out of 1,425

After hitting these milestones and securing a solid standing on HWBOT, keeping my primary PC in an open bench case was no longer practical nor safe. It was time to give the hardware a proper home.

The Rebuild: Phanteks XT View

The entire system has officially been migrated into a Phanteks XT View case, transitioning from an modded case for overclocking to a clean, permanent daily driver for work and gaming.

Build & Cabling Details:

| Chassis: Phanteks XT View (Black)
| Custom Cabling: Custom-sleeved neon green & black cables, designed to pop against the dark interior through the panoramic glass.
| Cable Management Notes: A significant amount of time was spent routing and organizing wire paths. Due to motherboard layout quirks and fan cable routing constraints, a few runs couldn't be tucked away 100% perfectly, but the contrast and visual clean-up overall turned out very sharp.

Benchmarking Status & Next Steps

| Current Status: With the system now sealed in its daily enclosure, tearing it down for weekend bench sessions is no longer viable. Benchmarking is temporarily on pause until I acquire new test hardware.

| Next Goal: I am currently planning a dedicated, standalone test-chassis setup specifically for benching, keeping my daily setup completely untouched.


Looking forward to acquiring new hardware and pushing for Team XtremeSystems in the upcoming sessions!
