We Mighty Ape monkeys like to play, and when it comes to custom gaming rigs,
we play hard.
Nothing says this more than the latest Gorilla
in the Mist which pushed the hardware so far we had to install over $1000
worth of water cooling to keep temperatures and acoustics down. Which let us
enjoy a spot of 4K gaming.
Of course, we're all about showing off, so we figured we'd give you all a run
down of the main components and how we cooled them to give you a bit of
inspiration for your own rigs…

We've talked about a number of our Mighty Gorilla Gaming Rigs here recently,
showing off our latest builds of The
Baboon and The
Silverback, but one we always have trouble showing off is the Gorilla
in the Mist. He's an elusive rig, that one.
Of course, the problem resides in the fact that technically it doesn't exist.
Well… not until you say it does.
You see, the Gorilla in the Mist is our Gorilla Rig that you guys build for
us. It could be a simple tweak to one of our pre-existing rigs, or a complete
“From the Ground Up” custom assembly. It's really your call.
We certainly have our favourites amongst these builds, indeed those spec'd
out for pure raw power are impressive to benchmark but we tend to lean towards
those more like this one. With a perfect balance of unstoppable power and truly
stunning component decisions…

Ever since I first saw the golden GTX
770 from EVGA I've wanted gold ram… Some of my favourite PC builds are as
much about looks as performance and on that note – we just finished testing
out a range of cool & colourful heat spreaders for ram!
While they might not be quite as flashy as our G.Skill
Ares our new heat sinks will allow you to have Black,
Gold
or even Pink
ram in you next build!
These colourful treats are also available now so swing by our Mighty
Components Jungle and order
yours today!
The real world gaming performance difference might be slight but lets face
it, no top tier rig is complete without some awesome looking ram in it!
Let's take a quick look at the beautiful Corsair
Dominator Platinum. Clocked at 2133Mhz this particular ram kit is blazing
fast – a shiney industrial design and it even has LED lighting effects –
Corsair quality is well known so you can feel comfortable pushing it to
the limit.
Going one step further, as Corsair always do, They even released a Light
Bar Kit which allows you to add additional top lighting and change the LED
colour to an awesome blue glow!

The Bitfenix
Phenom is an exciting take on a small form factor chassis.
Tiny but mighty, Phenom
delivers an exceedingly flexible interior. Install dual graphics
cards up to 320mm in length, or opt for a single graphics card and
a slim 240mm water cooling radiator up top. Those who prefer air cooling will be
pleased to see that tall CPU coolers up to 160mm can be mounted with
no fuss.
When it comes to hardware compatibility, Phenom is truly phenomenal and with
its clean and uncluttered styling makes Phenom a perfect fit in virtually any
environment
Want one?
