Nice! Also, welcome to TPU! Hope you enjoy your stay :D
Thank you. :)

I got (2) of these 24-pin right angle adapters to clean up the cabling a bit on the M13A board. Honestly, I never knew these existed until recently, now I don't have that thick cable sticking way up in the air.

Got (2) since it's possible to connect them for a complete 180degree even cleaner 24-pin feed, but for now, I'm just trying out a single. :)

I literally learned about it right now :laugh:

Might have to consider getting one or two. Would help a lot with cable routing.

Yeah those 90 degree angle ATX converters exist. You can find some on sites that sell WC parts and accessories I think, such as Performance PCs.

Fedex overnight from the Asus Store. Newegg still has no stock...

Couldn't bring myself to purchase an 11900K - nope, since I'm air-cooling, grabbed a binned 11600K 6core, and it's running great. :)

,,,,
Can I ask how much? I'm way overdue for an upgrade, and I could probably convince myself I don't need a K

The 11600K?

Got a binned one from Siliconlottery, it was $339, not too bad, about $60 over msrp for the binning.

He also has some 11600Ks for $249 and $259 below msrp I do believe.

------

@X71200, Got the 24-pin right angle adapters from MNPCTech, Bill Owen and his group. He put together a nice video on the subject. :)

But yea, probably can purchase them anywhere...

Why is this a thing?
The software I use to back up Blu-rays has a feature that lets it rip UHD disks, and improves speed overall. Problem is, that feature only works in version 1.02 of the firmware or a patched version of 1.03.

My main burner (a WH16NS40 SVC NS50) had 1.03 when I got it and I managed to downgrade it.

i feel like that 90degree 20pin adapter would put more stress on the plug than without.
im sure the PSU cable rests better with the 90degree angle, but i dunno, it seems easier to me just to kink the cable.

interesting regardless

Good point, so I did some checking for any unusually heavy forces and/or vectors on the 24-pin cable and right angle adapter and everything looks good, but then my build is a 45degree angled test bench with the 24-pin at the very bottom and it's weight is somewhat supported by an internal deck (both images below).

Primochill launched a new Wetbench line, the Wetbench SX Basic, Pro, and Complete, I grabbed the SX Pro and I'm loving it so far. But I completely understand test benches are not everyone's cup of tea. :)

------

Also grabbed this Icydock 4bay mobile rack for this build, only $59 totally cool price, loving it since it accommodates raw drives both SSD and HDD without attaching the drives to separate internal trays or caddies - just shove the drives in and eject them hot swap, it's simple. lol :)

The mobile rack is mounted to the lower radiator deck with 2screws at the rear and some industrial low-profile velcro at the bottom front. I think it looks pretty cool. ;)

I tried installing a game only to come across a no go situation yesterday.
A much needed storage capacity upgrade that will also allow me to potentially recover data from a 1 TB HDD.

Anandtech reviewed the 1TB version and that one is equipped with TLC.
I will check with my current means and come back with an answer.

That drive seems to be pushing SATA limit with ease. Nice. How much and is it TLC or QLC(or do you know)?

It does look to be TLC

$170 is not bad. I wonder if it has DRAM or if it's DRAMless. The performance posted above strongly hints it might have DRAM.

The Swordfish costs $195 for 2 TB, I personally would gladly pay the extra $25 to get a better NVMe. Though if you don't have bandwidth / M.2 slots, that drive should be fine.

I don't think it is because the manufactures website doesn't state it only that it's built with 3D NAND TLC flash.
Link: http://www.leven.com.tw/?page_id=371&lang=zh

and Guru3D tested the 1TB version of the JS600 but doesn't talk cache so it's properly DRAMless.

While that's a good point, not everyone has NVMe yet. I have a mobo with a slot but I'm not using it because my current drive meets my needs.

Yeah the performance looks solid.

Correct a SATA SSD is more then enough for 9 out of 10 people they won't on a daily basic really feel a difference only doing heavy loads, windows updates and so on.

At work I use a Gigabyte SSD 240GB SATA and it works great no issue, at home I got a Dell laptop with NVME NVME 3.0 SSD and in my main rig a NVME 4.0 SSD but I don't really feel the difference so I run Windows of the NVME 3.0 in my gaming rig and games of the 2TB NVME 4.0.

Last time I ended up with 4133CL19 SR Vipers that turned out to be mediocre and on a god-awful A0 PCB. They work fine at 4000 16-16-16 and 4200 17-18-18 but that's about it.

So let's try again, this time with 4400CL19 SR Vipers, and see if we can't max out that 2200MHz Infinity Fabric and further boost our Vega 7 performance a bit:

Kinda wanted to get Trident Z SRs instead either 3200CL14 or 4000CL18 but cost is even less appealing and they're only found on Newegg - extra $ shipping and no returns.

Congratulations brother! Nice kit! You're gonna have fun with that. :)

I really didn't like the Gskill Royal Silver aesthetic at first glance - it just looked gaudy back in 2019. But an overclocker friend convinced me the 4600/18 kit was ideal for my other hardware at the time.

Fast-Forward 24months and I really like the looks, as long as you change the "Silly Rainbow" default settings :rolleyes: and go with lighting OFF or choose your favorite static color - I find the blue very soothing while working.

Is this new Maximus 13 Apex Q-code below reading a 11600K idle temp of 24C ON AIR? :eek:(pics below) That's impossibro! lol

I disabled 1)Multi-Core Enhancement, 2)AVX2, and 3)AVX512 in the new bios 707. Also, there's no overclock added yet - still stock.

FULL DISCLOSURE: 11600K warmed up to 27C idle in a few minutes and remained there. :)

Off cause my last shipment has to be delayed again. Now from 17 may to 6 June. :banghead:

So there will not be a mid May build of my 2 in 1 SYSTEM. This goddam pandemic and ressource shortage, is killing me. I am so tired of waiting for parts. Began November last year and soon half a year later I'm still waiting... :cry:

Oh man, that stinks. Hoping for you man! :toast:

I know I love great parts, and sharing great parts and ideas. :)

I broke down and cried last week when the new mobo arrived - it's just been SO LONG! :cry:

Hope you enjoy your build so much - when that wonderful day finally arrives, we all need some great hardware to make us happy. :toast:

Yeah the dam wait is really hard, when you are excited and just want to begin to build it. When this last shipment finnally arrives. I have all the parts ready. Well accept for the gpu's I wanted. I have given up on gpu for now.

But just getting new CPU's to take over from my old i7 980x is gonna be sweet and also again have enough ram, so I don't run out of it all the time. Will make a great deal in itself. I can be way more productive again and multi-task like crazy.
