That's another board I need to buy I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I'm looking forward to the 7th.....

 

[advanced3]

Just picked up some memory for it.

My new 32c/64t Threadripper with an 8700k for scale, no bananas available.

 

[R-T-B]

heh, I know my old liquid metal mess when I see it... that's my old 8700k, isn't it?

Grab a friggin bannana and quit using that thing as a scale. Chip is a pretty damn good clocker (compared to my 9700k anyhow).

What did that defenseless 8700K do to you that warranted such a mess on it's heat spreader?

 

[GreiverBlade]

mechanical keyboard freak time to ASCEND!

ok ... joke aside ... going back to TKL the Medion Erazer i got is good but now, i want to step up the game a bit more.

for the moment i am using my Rapoo KX (Kailh Yellow) which is not a tkl but rather a compact wireless mech

i ordered that :

aye a GMMK TKL (49$ discounted from 89$)

then i need switches... hum for now i settle on these

49$

and then keycaps ... well, i do like them white to contrast

29$

127$ total? not bad for that

(eta: tomorrow morning)

Existed.

 

[Lorec]

Got a D15, my flats ambient temp is close to 30C so need to keep them temps low..

also, 7 Fractal Prisma fans for that lovely eye candy

 

[Athlonite]

Just bought an Cryorig R1 Universal

Because I can't be arsed to make a new AM4 bracket for my old Thermolab Baram and can't find the actual bracket for sale anywhere

 

[biffzinker]

can't find the actual bracket for sale anywhere

I tried looking but nothing came up.

I tried looking but nothing came up.

I did actually find out there is a AM4 bracket that Thermolab makes for it but have found zero places that sell it

 

[GreiverBlade]

getting re used to a ANSI layout is not too hard .... (i had a , urgh ..., Razer Lycosa in US ANSI layout before) just the smaller Enter key is annoying...


so a 87 key TKL with a 120 switch pack and a full ANSI 104 key box ... oh well i will have some spare key (and 2 "ASCEND" esc key replacement) and switches

87 switch later (~20minutes, not a single one with bent pins although if it did they include a tweezers with the switches just in case. ) keycaps... almost ... annnd finished



downloaded the driver, it's in full white right now and it's gorgeo.... GLORIOUS! (you can also see the feet of a Arctic Breeze table USB fan that i ordered with much needed in addition to the Arctic Summair i already have) overall feeling the Gateron red are quite comfy, smoother than cherry's

i love their logo ahah

Bit the bullet and got some new RAM while it's cheap and in time for the next upgrade, which will be very soon. Not a bad deal at the equivalent of $89.
Surprisingly it runs just fine at 3200MHz on my Ryzen 1700 whereas the supposedly compatible Corsair RAM I have, refuses to do so.
Fingers crossed it works at full speed with whatever chip I decide to get next.

Edit: Even got it working just fine at 3400MHz, doesn't want to play nicely at 3466MHz though. I guess my Corsair RAM was a bit of a dud then...

God it looks dusty, but still working on my case.

Would you mind posting a Thaiphoon Burner screenshot of that kit?

 

[exodusprime1337]

Finally replaced my broken flow meter with this bad boy. Looks amazing! Added two inline temp sensors as well: shown on the left of the meter before the compression fitting.

It's Hynix AFR, but for some reason, it works really different from my Corsair modules. I'll post the screenshot later.

Edit: Here you go.

 

[emissary42]

Is that the output with the most recent version of TB?

They are probably Hynix 8Gbit CJR. The DRAM Calculator for Ryzen has several presets for them you could try.

It was not. Please see below and you're correct.
Not too concerned on this system, but at least I guess the CJR vs. AFR makes a huge difference.

I just picked up the Pudding key caps for my Ducky One 2 RGB keyboard Much better shine on the lighting than the stock key caps.

 

[sam_86314]

Coming soon...

My first eBay purchase. I had a $5 coupon that would've expired today, so this cost me $11.80.

It'll be going into my old OptiPlex 980. Hope it works.
