ZTK Lime Green Model
1080p done right — lit in green.
A liquid-cooled 1080p gaming showcase in the green Geometric Future Model-5. A six-core Ryzen and a pristine GTX 1070 Ti chew through high-refresh 1080p, a 360mm LCD AIO keeps it cool and quiet, and ten ARGB fans behind tempered glass make it glow. Hand-built and cable-managed in Cutler Bay — built, tested, and ready now.

Anatomy of the build
Every part, chosen on purpose.
No filler, no leftover stock. Here's exactly what goes into the ZTK Lime Green Model — and why we picked it.
The chassis
Geometric Future · Model 5 (Green Edition)
Every ZTK machine starts with a real showcase chassis — and the Geometric Future Model 5 is built to be seen. Tool-free tempered glass on both sides means upgrades take seconds and the whole green-lit interior stays on display; the heavy steel frame stays silent and rattle-free for years; and the PSU display shroud turns the power supply and our hand-sleeved cabling into part of the show. It's rated for up to a 420mm radiator and ten 120mm fans — exactly why this build runs a full 360mm AIO and a ten-fan ARGB layout without breaking a sweat.

Graphics
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti WINDFORCE 3X 8G
The workhorse of this build — and still a genuinely capable 1080p card. The GTX 1070 Ti sits around GTX 1080 / RTX 2060 territory, so it eats high-refresh esports titles and runs most AAA games at 1080p high with headroom to spare. This one is a pristine Gigabyte WINDFORCE 3X: three fans over copper heatpipes keep it cool and quiet, a full metal backplate adds rigidity, and RGB Fusion lets us color-match it to the green build behind the glass.

Motherboard
Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite V2
The backbone — and a real enthusiast board, not the cheapest B550 on the shelf. A 12+2-phase digital VRM with 50A DrMOS and oversized heatsinks feeds the Ryzen rock-steady power under load. Best part: it leaves a clear upgrade path — drop in a Ryzen 5000-series chip (right up to a 5800X3D) down the road and it just works. Add PCIe 4.0, dual M.2 with a thermal guard, 2.5GbE LAN, AMP-UP ALC1200 audio, and RGB Fusion 2.0 to sync with the green lighting.

Processor
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (6C/12T)
The Ryzen 5 3600 earned its name as the value gaming CPU of its generation — six Zen 2 cores and twelve threads that still push 100+ FPS in the world's most popular games when paired with a real GPU. Unlocked, cool, and efficient at just 65W, it's exactly the right amount of CPU for a 1080p build — and on this B550 board it's a stepping stone, not a dead end: drop in a Ryzen 5000-series chip later and keep everything else.

Cooling
PF 360 AIO · 5.5" LCD · ARGB
A 360mm liquid loop on a 65W Ryzen is gloriously overkill — and that's exactly the point. The CPU runs cold and dead-silent, leaving years of thermal headroom, while the real show is the magnetic 5.5-inch LCD on the pump head: live CPU/GPU temps, or any image, video, or animation you load. Three ARGB Infinity-Mirror fans rated to 320W TDP and 165 CFM keep the loop whisper-quiet under 30 dBA, and the whole thing syncs to the green 5V ARGB lighting. Cooling and centerpiece in one.

Memory
PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB · DDR4-3600
Fast, low-latency memory the Ryzen loves — and it lights up to match. We run two XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB kits for a full 32GB (4× 8GB) at DDR4-3600 CL18, the sweet-spot speed for Zen 2, locked in with one click of the XMP 2.0 profile. The addressable RGB heat-spreaders sync straight into the green build's lighting through RGB Fusion — and there's headroom to spare for gaming with Discord, a browser, and a stream all running at once.

Storage
500GB NVMe SSD
Your OS and games live here, so we fit a fast PCIe NVMe drive — the same class of M.2 we run in the White build — for near-instant boots, snappy launches, and game loads measured in seconds instead of the spinning-disk waits of a budget machine. It drops into the B550's Gen4 M.2 slot under the thermal guard, and there's a second M.2 plus SATA headers open whenever you want to add more.

Power
POINWER 650W · 80+ Bronze (GD650)
650 watts is big headroom for this build — the whole machine pulls only around 300W flat out, so the supply loafs along cool and quiet on its illuminated 120mm fan, never stressed. A strong +12V rail (52.5A / 630W) feeds the GPU clean, stable power, the 80+ Bronze rating keeps it efficient, and the lit fan ring ties into the green build's glow. There's plenty of overhead left for a future GPU upgrade down the road.

Connectivity
Gigabyte AORUS WiFi 6E · GC-WBAX210
Most B550 boards ship with no wireless at all — so instead of a flimsy USB dongle hanging off the back, we added Gigabyte's AORUS WiFi 6E card in the open PCIe slot. It's built on Intel's AX210 module: tri-band 2.4 / 5 / 6GHz with a dedicated 6GHz lane for low-latency online gaming, speeds up to 2,400Mbps, plus Bluetooth 5.2 for controllers, headsets, and peripherals — all through two magnetic-base antennas. Clean, fast, and wire-free.

Airflow
DARKROCK R140 ARGB (Black)
The finishing touch — 140mm infinity-mirror ARGB fans in both reverse- and forward-blade versions, so the clean side always faces out through the glass whichever way they mount. PWM-controlled for silence at idle and real airflow under load, on long-life hydraulic bearings. In black, they disappear into the green Model-5's smoked interior while the lighting pops.

Lighting & control
120mm ARGB Fans + 9-Port Hub (Black)
Tying the lighting together — daisy-chained 120mm infinity-mirror ARGB fans that link pin-to-pin, so one cable feeds the whole cluster and the inside of the case stays clean. Bionic blades move real air (up to 58 CFM) while staying quiet on anti-resonance pads, and a 9-port hub with remote keeps every fan and light in 5V ARGB sync — forward and reverse versions so the pretty side always faces out.
