And here's me thinking you were a genuine CS baller
Is it a Corsair 4000D case or a LianLi one?I got a good deal on the graphics card, and it's slim pickings for Z790 boards unless you want to spend a small fortune. Didn't see the point
I like the contrast anyway
Lian Li o11 Dynamic EvoIs it a Corsair 4000D case or a LianLi one?
That is sexual
What cables are people using?
Priced up a 6900XT earlier. Then realised I need a new PSU... and new cables... and new fans... and I want a new case
In the wise words of @seb
LOL
I use electric ones mate. Hope this helps?
Cheers lads, love you bothI use the ones that came with my PSU as they’re already braided.
HTH
As before, this probably doesn't qualify being a laptop and all, but meh.

Had a couple of weeks with this MSI i9 purchase and life is very good indeed. It's absolutely ripping through everything I've thrown at it so far. I ended up unable to give it the full 8TB hoped for as despite just about every other MSI laptop out there having a SATA bay and connector, mine has the bay but no connector leaving my previous 4TB SATA SSD redundant. So far the chaps at work have replaced the standard 3500mbps 1TB M.2 SSD with a 2TB 6600mbps one, and tomorrow I have a second one (same spec) arriving so I'm going in to swap it myself.
F*** me this thing is quick, like it genuinely blows my mind. Cold boot from battery and I'm at the desktop opening up my editing suite after 14 seconds and that includes entering my PIN. I've no experience of powerful PCs...is that quick?
@Smoothie Claymore , it turns out the graphics card doesn't do the heavy lifting when rendering videos, well Cyberlink Powerdirector doesn't seem to use it anyway. It flys through high bitrate 4K footage very quickly but only seems to use the shared on board graphics thingy...the actual 3060 and its 6GB shows no usage at all.

Is that right? If not, can I/should I configure it to be used?
Have a flick through the instruction manual, it's possible they sell the parts required separatelymine has the bay but no connector leaving my previous 4TB SATA SSD redundant

Nice one, thank you, I'll take a look
That looks so nice mate.
80 degrees is fine really

So, since finally being able to join this thread, I should shoutout @Rojer : MY friendly (somewhat) IT fwend.
After getting the tower from a local pc shop (dont ask), I noticed the temps were creeping up a little bit.
I opened it all up and sent some pics to Roj. We had a few lol's and realised some pretty pants stuff.
Both the rear and dual top fans were all exhausting......The rear fan now pushes air in and the top two exhaust as before. Improvements there.
The CPU cooler is oriented badly - its having air pushed across it and not through it. Fix to be sorted shortly on that.
The CPU Fan was oriented incorrectly, thats now been sorted.
The two RAM sticks were in the wrong slots for optimum speed, also now sorted.
The only issue (other than the CPU Cooler) is now how toasty my 2060 Super is getting. I think it tipped 80C after a few hours of warzone.
It didnt impact usage notibly, but its still getting a bit warmer than id have liked.
Might need to find an additional large fan somewhere.
Or, actually listen to Roj and order a better case.
Still, for a work PC with my graphics card inside, its pretty sweet!
It's just black so I'm guessing it's dead rather than stuck.Dead or stuck?
I've had ones with stuck pixels that resolved themselves.
Noice. My EK waterblock in on its way for my Gigabyte 4090, from Slovenia nonetheless.
Good to know cheers, my old card has a Bykski block on it which I couldn't fault. Great to know with EK you pay more for lower quality.Yeah, I missed the note about the customs charge which was a nice surprise. Also mounting took about 3 attempts to make good contact. I think it's a mixture of the pads used and the machining. People had the same issue last gen with EK

I would have gone Bykski again or Alphacool but no idea when they'll be available.

All that and you're wasting your time on Battlefield?
I was very underwhelmed with the new map tbh.
