Hi,
Starting to look like a computer back there on a rainy day :)

Just tweaked my 2019 Razer Blade 15" a bit and got some nice benches. Yeah I know UBM isn't the best but it's a fast benchmark.

10 year old case and PSU with brand new CPU, MOBO, CPU cooler and GPU

EDIT: I just realized I can add 2 x Intel Optane M.2 SSDs onto the MoBo PCH X390 and rid myself of my Kingston 256Gb OS/Gaming SSD. Huge Game changer. Here comes another $1k expenditure to make this a sick BEAST!

The EK Reservoir and combo is a really big thing that is hard to fit inside the case so i decided temporary to put it outside.

Im gonna buy the single 120mm EK flat distro plate that is a reservoir and pump.

My D5 is PWM controlled.

Hi,

Hi,
No idea you'd have to link to it but if it doesn't have a D5 pwm like you have now pass.

I recently got bored and with no gpu to use for x99 board in my entertainment center project woke up and old acer aspire ax3800 board with onboard graphic's :)
Also thinking outside the box can't believe this mother board still works 11 years now retired three years ago for my x299 build
Was also transplanted in a D450 case long ago with a D14 and evga 980 hybrid :-)

Yes I do! Bought it on spur of the moment because my old system was hiccuping and needed to upgrade fast. Because I work as an account manager for a VAR, I get to purchase at our cost + 1% and because we drop ship from the distribution channel, I had to choose a Mobo that was in stock and LG 1151 for the Core i7 9700k I chose to build upon. The Maximus Gene XI was in stock (last one) so I snagged it after quickly glancing over it's specs. After I put it together I realized I purchased a gem of a motherboard will be getting Intel Optane M.2s soon (PCH, not CPU. Don't want to lose 8 lanes on the PCIe).

As for the Asus Radeon RX 5700 it came down to budget really. The RX 5700 fits the bill for me for now. Maybe after Xmas or in spring 2021 I might sell it and add that to fund a nice beefy Nvidia.
 
Hi,
Custom loop on 775 socket :eek: lol :)

Of course I don't! I hate water reservoirs. I spend two hours in the bathroom to get all bubbles out to have a completely reservoir free loop. The car cooling liquid does not evaporate too much.
The next is a nice build i made for one of my buddies:

It has two front usb 3.0 and 1 front displayport for rift support. ;) If someone is interested i may do a full post on how i made it.

Settled in the Cerberus. It might look plain in marketing pictures, but man oh man. They weren't kidding about 2mm powdercoated aluminium. Maybe one of the few instances in which "Made in USA" actually means something.
