Hopefully the new AMD cards deliver because it's a nightmare finding a 30xx card. When I got my 1080 it wasn't nearly this bad. No need to explain that 32gb of RAM either. I think that will become more common soon enough, certain poorly optimized games have gone over 16gb for me, it's been worth buying 32gb just to not have to deal with all these new games with their memory leaks. |

Just finished adding a second 360 rad and 3080Ti to my system, had to get creative with the top mounts for the rad. Just finished leak testing and took this picture at first boot, still need to work on hiding some wiring but will need to order some cable extensions to do it since my fan controller is mounted at the bottom of my case. The EK block on the 3080 cards is HUGE, I had to remove some of the mounting screws for my radiator and the card is actually pushing the radiator about 1/8" away from the case on one side, will have to drill some new mounting holes for the radiator later and relocate. Not shown is a 7in HDMI display mounted inside the glass side panel of the case that displays all system information by way of AIDA64, will be mounting a Samsung Odyssey G9 to my desk as soon as the bracket arrives.

Updated Quake machine (it's been to 2 QuakeCons so far). Replaced the non-lit and 5-year old Corsair water-cooler (imported from last machine) with a Thermaltake illuminated cooler, mainly to match both the case and the fans. Nothing super special in it but it runs everything great. i5 9th gen overclocked to 4.7 32 GB 3200 Corsair Ram MSI 1660Ti   |

I will show pics if anyone cares. Haven't cared to stay on the bleeding edge over the last year, but I'll probably do an upgrade again eventually. To those who say you can't buy skill, 1v1 me in CSGO br0. |

  EVGA’s queue came through again, replaced my XC3 3080 for a FTW 3080ti, and sold the old card for more than the ti cost. Weird market that lets you upgrade and make money doing it. |

Due to this a lot of people have gone to companies offering a pre-built product since they're the only ones who can get their hands on GPU's. Either way though, Newegg would be a good place to start. They have a "PC Builder" tool that helps select compatible products, or you could just pick from a list of their prebuilt ones as well. https://www.newegg.com/tools/custom-pc-builder?cm_sp=Head_Navigation-_-Under_Search_Bar-_-PC+Builder&icid=623090 Or this could be a good prebuilt to start with. Decent specs, might need more memory for some of the newer games but overall not terrible. https://www.newegg.com/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gm60070/p/N82E16883230564R |

New rig for a new year. Gave my Son my Quake build (that's lasted about 5 years) posted above. I wanted to try as much of NZXT's products as possible, only skipped on their mother board as Microcenter had a $351 Asus+12th-i7 combo that I couldn't pass up. That's a $200ish mb + $300+ processor. Only thing was I needed to get DDR5 memory, which is pricey. Going with something new this time around, a thermal mount to evenly push down the CPU.

Once I have it all up and running, I'll add photos. FIRST BOOT!!!! Attached File Tested the start of Baldur's Gate 3 and hit 165fps peak, so the setup is definitely performing. First Cinebench test of the CPU, no overclock Attached File After enabling XMP Attached File Auto-overclock of the GPU via AMD Adrenaline Attached File Overclocked the GPU using AMD's software to auto-overclock and with XMP enabled I ran a 15838 in Cinebench on my next multi-core stress test. Temperatures never exceeded 67°C on the CPU, nor 50°C on the GPU(doing the AMD stress test in their app). CPU frequency hit over 4600MHz on both the single and multi core tests. Voltage exceeded 1.3v on single core and 1.2v on multi core. Looking at the performance and temps,I don't see a reason to risk instability with further tuning. I'd say it's ready for gaming! ETA 11AUG2023: Learned more about overclocking. Set my personal goals at slightly undervolted, max load temperatures under 80C and hopefully over 5GHz P-core and 4GHz E-core After a few hours, I finished at what I consider good for my air-cooled setup. CPU Voltage: 1.259v Max Watts: 181.6W P-cores: 4989 MHz (5GHz) E-cores: 3991 MHz (4GHz) Highest Temp at 100% load: 78C package, 78C P-cores, 54C E-cores Cinebench 30-minute (stability) multi-core score: 18983 (quick test), 18033 (10-minute) and 18056 (30-minute) I'm also still getting great FPS, too. Still way over 100FPS on most games that aren't 60FPS locked. Cinebench scores: Attached File |

So it's been a little while. I've now doubled-up on RAM and storage. I've added two more 32gb 3600 CL18 DDR4 Corsair Vengeance Pros, so now I'm at 64gb 3600 CL18 DDR4. I needed and installed a second Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for media storage as I've now decided to get into content creation and I'm planning to add another for game storage and overflow. I tried out the Corsair H100x AIO, but it is less efficient than my dual fan, air-cooled Peerless Assassin cooler, so I've gone back to that. Cinebench is scoring between 17400-17500 still overclocked so really good for an Intel i5 12600k processor and AMD 6700XT graphics card. I've added a second ASUS 1080p 165Hz monitor, dual-monitor mount, Blue Yeti mic and mic arm, LED scene light and fancy mousepad. All is mounted to my new computer desk. Attached File Edit: In the middle of October 2023 and I've upgraded from my XFX AMD 6700XT GPU to an XFX AMD 7900XTX GPU. I also went from a no-name Chinese 850w PSU to a Corsair RM1000x 1000w PSU, but the fan is constantly running, so that's an issue I'm working on (75-79°F ambient at the tower). With the GPU on HyperX and Adrenaline overclocked, I'm getting over 17k on Cinebench (my Intel i5 12600k is also overclocked at 4.9Ghz P-core/3.7Ghz E-core with 1.26v and XMP-enabled). I'm getting between 60-110 FPS on Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty (2.02 version and Raytracing:Ultra graphics preset at 1080p). The CPU is drawing a max voltage of 187v and the GPU 640v, so the PSU upgrade was needed to prevent Cyberpunk from crashing with the new card. Update Feb 2024: Added an Elgato 4K60 Pro capture card and hooked-up my PS5 so I can stream Playstation games. YouTube channel is slowly growing. Attached File |

I do run at 4k (48" LG C1 OLED) and my previous setup was decent (5900x and the 3080ti) I just felt like I should jump to the new gen since my other system (cpu, platform, etc) was getting to be near 5 years old. I've not reinstalled as much since upgrading so I'll start on that and run some more tests and games over the weekend. |

If I wasn't really trying to 'overkill' the cooling with a 420mm rad I'd have gone 360mm rad and a regular Flux case. I dig the look and the cooling is top notch. Also no clue what the next gen of GPUs is gonna leave us in for prices of the previous gen. |

 Bad pic of my plague computer, taken while giving it its annual hosing out. That's a year's worth of dust. All air goes in the front, through a filter, then three fans, and out the top through the GPU and the back through the radiator. Yeah, I know, the radiator should be on the intake side, but I don't want to dump all the CPU's heat directly into the GPU. It sounds like a 747 taking off when all 8 fans spool up.

New build, well first build. Nearing 50 and grew up with pc's but never ever got around to building one. Always just bought a refurb Dell and the games we played back in the day were not that intensive. Once they started getting hardware intensive around 2005-ish is when I stopped playing. Decided to get back into it and this was the result.

@hunterboy56 Sorry, I didnt get the @ At this level I don't think the AIO's are any better at cooling per se. I did it for aesthetics, and clearance from other things like ram. Some of those air coolers are huge and you start making compromises based on their size. If I build a workstation for my work pc in the future, I'll probably go air. But that machine stays on 24/7. This gaming machine only gets turned on when I use it. That case seems pretty good. Does it come with any fans? Since I built mine I did add a Lien Li lcd screen fan in place of the rear fan in the pic so I could see temps and I moved the rear fan in the pic to the front. So that gives me three intake fans and four exhaust (3 are for the AIO) and that seems to do well. |

Just built a new pc since my old one wasn't Win11 compatible and was 8 or so years old. It still does everything I need it to though. nothing fancy or too powerful compared to most, but should last for years to come Intel 265KF (yeah I read it's not as great for gaming but I don't play the latest and greatest and these days do more non gaming). FROZN A620 heatsink/fan combo Gigabyte RTX 5070 - didn't splurge for Ti version as I still game at 1080p and usually not the newest games, but this will be good enough if I do upgrade my monitors to higher resolution down the road. GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Elite WIFI7 ICE motherboard 64GB of ram - maybe overkill but the Roguetech mod for Battletech is a memory hog, and it will be nice when I have a couple VMs going to be able to give them more memory Two 2TB Samsung 990s - one for the OS one for games that benefit from being on SSD 8TB drive for data storage, and games that don't need the faster I/O Lian Li 217 case, I liked the real wood. Case is very roomy inside with 5 fans. Not loud but is keeping everything cool, gpu is under 70C now under load (running folding at home) and cpu peaked at 80C also under load |
