Was just doing maintenance on my PC and took some photos. Its dusty place where I live...and I was lazy to clear it thoroughly. So..here it is.

Does it count if it's donated to you?

My bios modding skills are finally starting to pay off... a client offered to buy me a board to help me add it to my "Intel ME-less" bios modding collection. Here it is:

Noctua Heatsink and cpu installed. 9900k will be going in soon too...

You know, I usually am not fond of gigabyte boards (other than being super easy to bios mod), but I never complain about free and this one isn't half bad so I'll stow my usual complaints. Look for my old ASRock z370 Taichi and 8700k combo soon.

a lil' oot ...

what's the price of a branding ...

well i can answer for that article

Westone-Transport-Case-Clear-fC3BCr-UM-Pro-und-W-Series.jpg

which is exactely the same as the one from KZ i bought on AE for 1.29$

my usual etailer has the Westone case available for 35chf (about the same in $ ) that make the branding a little expensive ... even for Westone ... well fans of the brand will say the Westone branded is better "because reason" :laugh:

end line, if you can wait 15-22days .... you spare 33.71

end of oot (if it's a bother, just notify me via convo and i delete it

I never saw the benefit of these. With good intake fans HDDs hardly ever get hot not even warm to the touch. My PC been on 24hrs and the HDDs max has hit 38C.

On my HP Pavilion case there is no front fan for cooling and only holes on side panel on hdd back So Im gonna use it. I just built that rig in my specs and that hdd cooler the only expense I made since all of it was built with trash/recycling finds. Not bad 2.99$ for a full rig.

Yup. New racing stripes on a slower rusty winter beater.

Change of plans, instead of the bequiet! Silent Base 801 I went for the Cooler Master MasterCase MC500M. It is a bit cheaper and it offers better airflow (I think)...

Just remember to submit that GPU-Z or w1zzard will visit you in your sleep.

GPU-z doesnt support reading this card

I cant dump the bios. @W1zzard would it even be helpful?

I validated anyway.

That's what I'm talking about :rockout:

one week waiting it seemed like an eternity :twitch:

Durvelle27 · Dec 21, 2018

Replaced my 3x1080p monitors with 3x1200p monitors and man I couldn’t be more impressed. It looks amazing and still offers decent real estate over the 1080p monitors

Those Dremels are awesome, mines about 8+ years old and love using the dam thing. It'll look much better with some dirt on it
