"Corsair Vengeance RBG 2x8GB 3600MHz" -- in sig

If that's b-die, there's no need to buy a retail 4000+ kit, because 4266MHz+ is typically achievable on most b-dies with a good mobo like the apex's.

An advance

As soon as i get it i will post some pics

And finally....

and now It looks f**king ugly but i still think the heatsinks across the vrms on the last pic was a very nice touch...

I didnt know what was what so i just glued a heatsink on everything that looked like it needed cooling.... I really should of done a before and after when it came to OC'ing as i'll never know if these heatsinks really made a difference or not.

I did try to contact a few local metal workshops here and request use of a CNC machine for a fair price for 20-30mins but none of them got back to me

a lot of the heatsinks ordered ended up being too big and you can still see on the top pic how the heatsinks on the VRMs just about fit across the width of the card. without causing too much trouble while the rest of the heatsinks were from Arctic Cooling.


I think i did an alright job given the circumstances. I dont think this 1080 ti is very resellable now unless theres secretly some freak that likes the look of frankenstein'd cards or cards that have been hit with the ugly stick.

Those heat sinks from a AC cooler ?, i believe i have some just linke them and they interlock with each other prety well.

This is 10 days ago.

10 days? Have you been brushing non-stop! It looks well worn, I thought those shipped with a few replacement heads.. Is it an Oral-B? do you find it to be a more thorough clean than a manual brush? what type of paste are you running? oh and congrats on the new AM4 setup as well..

I'm not sure if this should go here, but ....

Check out these requirements

Bit of a difference now

Last one...

At least it will be quicker to read the discs than to try and download it from Steam with my internet connection

Tempted with the idea of putting it on an SSD as I feel it'll be a big ass game and will need all the help it can get to load up quickly!! Hopefully it'll use my 1080 Ti a bit more being across triple 1080P panels.... Here's hoping anyways...

My mate just sent me this -

Looks like part of my order turned up

Good eye. It's an Oral-B from Braun OEM, bought in QLD. I'm very rough with toothbrushes . I'm using an Indian herbal toothpaste called Patanjali DantKanti. It's the WD-40 of toothpastes. As viscous as an IC-Diamond TIM.

EVGA PowerLink. Got it for $4.99. Totally worth it in the cause of cable management.

8 GB RAM?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well... The B450 board is DOA -- Stripped everything out and its still DOA, Though i cant say that im surprised... it was ordered from amazon and whoever was picking my items decided to be fucking lazy and just print out an address label and slap it on the original box before sending it out to me. Literally Under that Freezer 33 cooler in my pic is the sticker where my address is.

Im going to send the board back in the exact same condition except it will have brown parcel tape on it to seal the box up and stick their address label on.

8 GB RAM?

Yeah. Unlike everyone else here, this guy really aint a power user. 8GB is fine.

i loved mine. gave it to My Nephew. If you like the Enthoo ProM , I suggest the fractal below as your Next, i LOVE it.
The only real problem i had with the Phanteks Enthoo Pro was the Damn front i/o , usb, power/reset buttons, & 3.5mm ports. I had to replace the whole thing 4 times, and Phanteks was/is totally aware of the issue. They used shitty quality components, and they broke all the time, even if you never really used them like me. great case otherwise.


Fractal Meshify C . really great Case.

its much smaller than the Enthoo ProM, but weighs more oddly enough due to better quality construction & the fact that the Fractal uses real Glass/steel

Yeah. Unlike everyone else here, this guy really aint a power user. 8GB is fine.

On my PC, which I work from every day at least for five or so hours, I play games, WCG (Occasionally), multitask, and many other things like recording, streaming, all with 8gb's DDR4, ive never "run out", or reached a point where more was required. Of course there are tasks, and situations where more ram is required. However as what I would consider an "above average" PC user, in regards to my tasks, and the strain put on my computer. I would say 8/10 people could get away with 8 GB or less. More people need to break that impulse of minimum 16 GB, with prices as high as theyve gotten in the recent past, its the only way to show manufacturers its not acceptable imo
