pretty sure you need good airflow in the case or it doesn't perform right. tbh it seems really stupid and edge-case usable, and it's expensive.

e, LOL and they themselves recommend putting a fan on it in overclocking situations. like wtf.


lol at overclocking a passively-cooled computer

also lol at telling people that your CPU thermally throttling under load conditions is fine and normal

Are SSD/NVMEs at risk of becoming super rare in the future like GPUs due to Ethereum or is that thought not justified?

If chia becomes a mainstream crypto, all storage becomes gpu rare.

How concerned do I have to be about the warnings that this is throwing up? I don't understand the bios flashing and how to avoid needing to do that.

It depends on the board. My Asrock B550 shipped with an outdated bios but it was pretty easy to put the newest bios on a usb stick and boot into the UEFI to flash it with the incompatible processor installed. I assume that MSI is the same.

Be smarter than me and download the newest bios BEFORE you rip the computer apart and install the new motherboard :v:

You're going to want a several TB storage drive. 500gb runs out very fast as a main drive.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good mATX case? It needs to fit a Sapphire Nitro 6700xt that's kind of long and a noctua U12S. I don't care about RGB on the case.
