Well I finally decided it was time to update the workbench monitor to something bigger than teeny weeny. Went with the cheapest 27 incher I could find which ended up being a Asrock? Say waaat, they make monitors eh? I guess Ima find out if they're cheapies are any good. Oh, and I grabbed a bequiet! PW3 cuz $9.99. A guy can never have enough fans.

I have the curved 1440p VA variant of this, pretty much, and it's very good! Only my OLED would be better, when it comes to image quality!

Installed HWmonitor. Noticing that SSDs get a little hot when moving big files around as well as when idling. Shoddy MSI heatsinks as result of purchasing the lowest tier X670E board.

1726019681673.png


Worst offenders being the ones sitting under the GPU which isnt really surprising.

1726019817555.png


There are two SSDs underneath that heatsink. I dont think one of them is making contact with the provided thermal pad properly. Ive seen it hit 95'c in Hwmonitor when moving game related installation files from one SSD to another.

The 'Tall boy' heatsink 2.2CM heatsink is for the boot drive. Ive still got a spare old EK one that i could use aswell.


::EDIT::

To add context. This is how it looks. The 2TB drives are placed together under one heatsink but you can tell which one has contact and which doesnt

1726050294117.png



I mean my 1TB boot drive I can probably ignore. Temps are more than fine (This is with HWmon running ALL DAY).

The WDC WD512G1X0C-00ENX0 is an old WD Black drive which is a Gen 3 carry over the old machine. I could probably ignore this one too (temperature wise) but I'll put the EK one on as the EK is just sitting here. This 512 is more of a dump drive for things like compressed zip files where I dont want to eat up the endurance of my main drives but dont want to wait forever for zipped files to be read or unzipped like they would on my spinney drives. Yes, I could sacrifice a cheaper QLC drive for this task but since its here I might aswell use it.

::EDIT II::

I actually need to get this PC out on a bench to finish things up anyway. I still have cable management to finish up and making a few adjustments here and there that ive noticed since enjoying the build for a while. Going to unplug the 120mm corsair fan from the aux fan port on the 7800XT and plug it into a motherboard header in the hopes that it gets more airflow over the SSDs.

I'm making a ghetto enclosure/chamber heater for my 3D printer so I can work with higher temp filaments and prevent warping due to them cooling too fast. I also ordered some more PLA+ since I'm burning through that pretty fast.

Silent Wings 4 140mm High Speed - replaced Pure Wings 2 140 on the exhaust. It's so good I instantly ordered another 3 to throw in on the front. They are pretty much dead silent until 55%, which is around 1200 rpm. 80% is close to 1700 rpm, not THAT loud and still produces a small tornado. 100% shows a reading of 2000 rpm but is just too loud. For comparison Pure Wings 2 had a top speed of 930 rpm.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
compulsive buying ...

still having a blast in the game ... so, i thought why not 2 phone shell
20240911_163615.jpg
(not joking ... i even have a t-shirt with Ult Bunny on the way ... :laugh: )

finally found some 5mm keycaps ... with front legends and transparent... since they also are of the cultured "cute sneezing girls" line ... i leave it at that ... but the Lofree Edge has now, usable backlighting (tho i will keep the Ether keycaps for when i am traveling :oops: )
20240911_164135.jpg20240911_164142.jpg

the ROG Ally X can go to 4TB 2280 NVMe? ... eh, that's cute ...
20240911_163914.jpg20240911_163921.jpg
what? it still has a bigger battery, faster RAM and more of it? tsk ... *memo to self ... next upgrade to do .., RAM and Battery*
yesh it's not cheap but since i paid 250chf for my OG Ally i have some leeway to make it more akin to the Ally X, right? no?... okay...

you like silicone eartips but prefer the seal of a memory foam, but dislike the standard memory foam for long sessions
this should do it ... at least for me it does.
20240911_163635.jpg

and a casual stroll in a second hand store : another 6N3P-EV manufactured by Oktyabr (yay for the original packaging :D ), good good now i have a spare if the original one fail before the rated 5k hrs
(well, i still have the the JAN5670W tho i like to have spares for my spares )

I got that amazing $400 amazon (sold and shipped) deal for 7950x. After much deliberation I've decided to wait 2yrs for the 9950x when it hopefully will get good discount. Now begins the arduous task of picking from an array of motherboards all lacking in some capacity in PCIe slot arrangement.

(You may ask me why. The answer is I make my own muesli mix at home and chopping up dried fruit and nuts into smaller peices/chunks for it is pain)

Hey, I got one too! Unlockable bootloader FTW! What model? I got the Pixel 8 Pro (right before the 9 launch so with a nice discount).
It's a pixel 9 series, but I can't tell exactly which.

I also run an 8 pro, it's a very nice phone. My carrier sucks though.

Pixel 9 Pro, the XL is way too big and this is actually significantly smaller than my Pixel 6, which is also a bonus, as now it'll fit better in my pockets.
I wanted the zoom camera and the overall camera improvements, since I'm doing NAS reviews for TPU now and the Pixel 6 wasn't great for taking pics of chips.

Bought the Fosi because of good reviews and I saw it here somewhere. I use it only for my headphones. Speakers are still using the Schiit.

The main reason I bought it was for the separate bass & treble dials. But the mic in is handy too.

#Me too :D

I use it between my Chromebook and my Panasonic amp (pre oomph, I don´t have an equalizer on Chrome OS), it´s very decent quality and it does what I need it to do.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
so, you got a T-Rex 2 in khaki but regret the buy ... (joking ... i like khaki but i also like black ...)

solution :

nylon band (heck that band is way too comfortable!!!) and protector (which included the 2 screen protector as gifts o_O )

looooking hella good! but ... better with the sleeve

the buckle is made out of metal (impressive given that the price was less than 4chf, less than 7chf for the whole set )

yep, definitely not a compulsive buying and totally worth it!

since i already have a card holder in carbon (a cheap "ridge wallet" lookalike that is all but cheap in the build)
why not keys holder then?

it's somewhat tech/game related :D
