I only built this new PC because I was not happy with my performance in Cyberpunk.

A lot of people are doing that.

I think Im gonna start using that when people complain about game performance. "...have you tried throwing money at it?"

I mean, it usually does work the best. Im sure itll be well recieved.

Expecting twin delivery and you get one. Usually the other way around

Remind me never to make you angry. I don't wanna wake up in a mercenary rape dungeon after stealing your parking spot.

Oh my gosh that thing looks pretty sweet. refering to the big graphics card picture up farther on this post.

So I have been using a Logitech G600 since 2012. I love this mouse so much I bought another one (still new in the box) for when the first one died. Just in case they became non-existent. For the past couple of years though I have been curious about trying the Razer Naga. I always talk myself out of it though because the G600 is that good. Well, no longer! The Naga Trinity is sitting here tonight and though part of me hopes I don't like it, another part of me thinks it might be better.

Nice mouse, but I'm more interested in that piece of older tech poking out from behind it. PP or SET? I know it ain't an OTL by those big ole transformer caps.

It is a dual mono design OTL amp. It is A LaFigaro 339 .

I had to move it a few times when i was installing the hardwares and it was a pain in the ass, fortunately my wife helped me because on my own i couldn't the exact weight i don't really know but the seller where i bought it from claim 29.5Kg approx, my plan was to install a second System into it but then it would be impossible to move it around if i have to.

Holy crap that's heavier than my old RV02 with a system in it and this weighs half a ton well feels like it does when you've a bad back

Interesting design on that one, to me anyway. Two of those have to be power transformers, I assume. But the third one intrigues me. Chokes tucked in there maybe? Never really got much of a look at the fancier OTL designs, threw me right off! Definitely never seen one that didn't hide stuff like that under a big shroud/enclosure.

You got the point, because i have Spinal disc herniation such a heavy Case is a problem for me when moving it.

Done waiting, pulled trigger on 3070

For me , the only real logical successor to the 3300x is the 5800x . Sure maybe it doesn't warrant 4 times the price that I paid for the r3 , think of it as a birthday gift to self if you will.
Le: my 1st ever cpu purchased in wich the year of the purchase matches the one laser etched on the IHS.

One CCD( and CCX) config are both, that what I was hinting.
le: quick couple of tests ss.

The M.2 heatsink I posted I bought finally arrived. Transportation packaging didn't make it, but the product is not damaged. I hooked it up to my fan controller and it's breezing happily.
Some feedback: the tiny fan is dead silent. I tested turning the knob on the Lamptron and it didn't make much difference. There is a difference between the temperature on the display and a software. Software reports 35 degrees and the display shows 46. Not sure who's right or wrong

, but for the $12 bucks or so, it's a lot of fun.

The patient: ahhh stickers...

Picked up this kit over the weekend. I bought a second Samsung 980Pro M.2 yesterday and installed it. Man is this M.2 blazing fast. I also had anew retail box for windows 10 pro that i used on this build instead of the home.

I have that 5 pack of Notos O120, very good ring fans for $15.00. (69$ for 5 pack). :toast:

You ordered an M.2 heatsink and they sent you a Natural Cooling Disk. Sounds like a fair trade :laugh:

What were the write intensive temps that's the one you want to pay attention to as long as it's not throttling your writes because of heat you didn't have a problem
