ASRock offered us their new Z270 SuperCarrier, so we decided to put together a high-end Kaby Lake system to show it off. Watch the build video to see how it came together and check below for the Cable Management Time Lapse video to see how Barry cleaned things up after the build.
We've also posted a Completed Build write-up with more pictures and benchmarks.
A big thanks to ASRock for providing the motherboard and NZXT for providing the CPU cooler used in this build.
