All of this is perfect, but I love how you just covered the components while buzz sawing the case because taking things out while sending metal shavings everywhere was just too much effort. Got a good laugh out of me. You mad genius.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

(Please do drill some additional air holes in the case, though.)

You could probably get a beefier CPU cooler on there too if you have screws that'll marry with the case's integrated standoffs - I was able to get an ID-Cooling SE-914-XT into an HP EliteDesk by using the Intel mounting brackets but the AMD mounting screws (wrapped in a shitton of teflon tape, because they were compatible-ish)

Only the first time. When I had to trim a lil I just made sure to the sparks away. I couldn't be bothered to find paper AND tape a second time.

I've actually had to take a grinder to this bitch before. They put a capacitor right where the SSD hits it if you replace their tiny one with a full size. So I had to notch out a corner of the SSD so it would fit.

I've run a few stress tests and it's never gotten over 83°c. And only hit that like once. But I was still planning on adding some additional fans.

Blue to suck in fresh air. Red to vent.

Would drilling holes in the side still be necessary?

I'd be more concerned with the GPU basically blocking the suck/vent sides of the case and ending up with what amounts to two separate chambers, one at positive pressure and the other negative. I'd just set up the front fans and intake and the rear fans as vents in your shoes.

I know it's not a spicy chip, it's more about the noise it generates under load - also is it just me or is the CPU fan currently installed upside-down?

If you actually have that side panel on, then it's pretty much right up against the GPU cooler's top vent. That will force all of the air out the bottom of the cooler (toward the motherboard) which is much less efficient. And then most of that is being recirculated by the GPU fans, I'm sure.

This is such a horrific setup that I don't even know what the best move here is. I just want to throw everything out but the GPU but I realize you've made too beautiful of a monstrosity to stop now.

Huh. Would you look at that. They probably had a sheath that directed the air out the back. I've seen that on Dells of the past. I'll flip it when I add the other fans. Although I might have a giant CPU cooler laying around that would be hilarious. Then I could aim the hot air toward the exhaust.

Yeah that would avoid blowing hot GPU air into the CPU. I was just thinking that the GPU fans suck air and blow it up and was leaning into that.

Imma go with the front to back intake/vent idea up there and see how it goes. It's right up against the side of my desk there, so even if I cut some vents I'd have to add a raised bit to keep it away from that. And I don't want to do anything too permanent to this case.

idk wtf they've done but shadowplay is utterly unusable for me since the nvidia app update. Turns itself off arbitrarily, turning it on during games breaks the UI, it doesn't actually respond to the hotkey for saving clips half the time, and randomly gives a "not enough space" error even though there's a terabyte of free space. Absolutely useless app.

back in x-fire days, i used to run one of my gpus from an external power supply for a week because my psu wasn't good enough to run both at full tilt, but i did have an old lovely one that was plenty good enough for a single gpu

it's as simple as connecting your poo poo to a different psu and then jamming a paperclip into the power pins on the mobo power supply connector lmao

I, too, had a 2nd psu sitting outside my case for time back in the wild old days. In my case because I ran out of power connectors for hdds and I needed more storage! So, take an old psu and use it purely to power those, feeding the cables in through the back of the case. Twisted together the wires that signaled the two to turn on, and good to go.

All this for storage numbering in the incredible hundreds of gigs!!!

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
The forbidden west port is incredibly good. Nixxes is such a great studio. Apparently they're porting Ghost of Tsushima too.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, pound for pound there's nothing better than these PS5 exclusive ports, because they have to nail the art direction given the hardware they're working with. So when they bring these games to PC it's ridiculous.

Can't wait for Tsushima.

e: then things are going to get even better when we are far enough along to start getting the games that weren't required to have a PS4 version.

He really knows what he's talking about. His own channel is well worth subscribing to if you aren't aware of him already.

I'm so happy. The fact that I had barely got half way through Ghost of Tsushima before selling my PS5 to fund the 4080 build felt real bad. So excited to finish it with all the fancy shiny stuff.
Forbidden West too. The trailers and stuff look incredible.
Wonder how they will feel on a keyboard and mouse? Planing on getting a gamepad at the end of the month anyway, but it'll be interesting to see how they compare.

gently caress, all of this is academic until the fuckers return my RMAd card. Tomorrow supposedly. loving hope so.

I got a rig with a weirdo RTX A5000 (not the Ada version, the earlier one), would the 4080 Super be a significant upgrade ? For 4k gaming, hopefully 144hz.

I'd go with the 4090 but it feels wrong to pay full MSRP for a card that is in its 2nd year of existence. And waiting a year for the 5000 series feels like losing precious gaming time

The 4080S is about 60% faster in games, which I'd call a pretty noticeable difference.

started on Dragon's Dogma 2 - runs better than I feared with my 13600KF/4090 maintaining around 100ish FPS in the open world and first town at 4K/RT/DLSS quality.

the game is not a looker though. oof, it looks like an up-rezzed PS4 game. there are some very noticeable IQ issues e.g., shadows flickering.

i enjoyed the first game while it looked and ran like poo poo so ultimately, it's fine.

It was established not long after it became an issue that it was user error. Even aftermarket cables that were supposed to “fix” the supposedly bad cables, were themselves melting. The stock cables are fine as long as they are actually plugged in all the way.
