Lol.. and ouch!! I hope that mine will workout ok

I'm sure it will, these where old X58 setups I think.. Either ways, I'm not sure you'd have any worries How long have you had the rig??

New USB! Not mine. I bought it for my neighbour (of course at his expense) who asked me about a good, sturdy and not too expensive USB stick with reasonable capacity.
I had to test it to see how well it performs. Metal body, dust proof, should be water proof, lightweight and reasonably fast. Not very expensive either.

ADATA UV131 USB 3.2 64 GB.

Here it is in the middle with my SP Jewel J80 and my ADATA S102 Pro. Full metal jackets.

Very good performer too.

New monitor being delivered today, Iiyama GB3466WQSU-B1 curved, pretty excited, will post a pic when it's up and running.

 

[dont whant to set it"']

HP 24x , brand new , delivered myself for the last leg of it's delivery, it came with a HDMI cable but will try it on the Display Port.

 

[khemist]

Got my Iiyama GB3466WQSU-B1, couple of dead pixels stuck together, probably keeping it though, it's not bad when gaming or watching media.

BF1 is even more glorious now.

USB switch for laptop and desktop - blessing for remote working, no longer have to switch cables on daily basis. Although it might not be what it seems considering back of the box.
A 15 pack of foams for headset mic, because you simply can't buy one for 50 euro cents.

Edit.
Damn you SwiftKey!

Headphone tube amplifier arrived today:

 

[ShurikN]

Those 3 in the Pic plus 2x8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 3200 kit.

The cpu is a placeholder until Zen 3 comes out and the gpu until RDNA2 comes out. Gonna sell both of them at one point.

The card was used, got it for 60euro, main bios was (still is) a mining one, but the "Quiet" bios is untouched so everything works perfectly.
1206 on the gpu and 1750 on mem. Played Apex Legends just now, runs like a charm. Can't hear a thing. That Nitro cooler is a perfect example of an overkill.

Got a cheap chinese psu for 35 bucks or so, just until I get money for an sfx psu. Looking at the Seasonic SGX 650, it should be around 130 eur here. Once I get it, I might sell the LC Power.


Bought AOC 24G2U monitor a month and a half ago. Pretty satisfied so far. Has one dead pixel, but hey, it happens. And now I actually have the oomph to run it above 100fps.

Well don't you like to play with fire??

The brand is pretty popular in my country and never heard people complaining about it. It's not that god awful $10 quality level. But it's not anything special. It gets the job done and I doubt the entire system consumes more than 250W.

Nothing Chinese about LC Power. They're German.

@ShurikN I want to say there are "plenty" of DeltaElectronics PSU's to be had on off eBay , for maybe less. Yes , yes , used/ refurbished , I had bought 4 250Watt at one time for €2.5 each to run my then z170+g4400 on one PSU and gtx 275 on another , all overclocked , charm.

Did not know the company was german. But the insides of the PSU? Are they made in-house... I somehow doubt it.

Dont have ebay access so the selection comes down to the thing only available here, which are used LC Powers, Chieftecs, Thermaltakes and those no-name chinese psus that have 600W or more and don't weigh more than 150g

What case are you using for this ITX build? I have the SGX, it's SFX-L size so make sure you can fit it.

It is a nice unit, but not as impressive as my old (still going in my NCASE M1) SF600G and the Focus Plus Platinum 550 it replaced. It runs a lil hot (probably from performing slightly worse than the new SF) and automatically controls its semi active fan without a toggle switch, unlike my SSR-550PX and most other current Seasonics. It's also only rated for 40C, which isn't a problem, just not up to the competition.

The new Platinum SFs also come with very nice sleeved ITX-length cables that are super valuable in an SFF case and also save you the $ of an extra Cablemod kit.

Nothing yet, I'll most likely be making my own SFF case. Here where I live the the selection of cases is horrible. The only cases available are Node 202 and 304...

That'll be an interesting project to see, for sure. If you do that and aren't sure of what it's going to look like, you might not want a Corsair SF then, Plat's sleeves or Gold's regular cables they all have short cables.

Tis a shame, cause nothing really comes close to them. I hate Corsair's other stuff with a passion, but the SFs have always been spectacular, only got the Focus SGX to reuse my Seasonic kit from Cablemod. Seasonic has a ways to go in small PSUs.

I have no idea of the SGX's stock cable lengths though, I never touched them.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind when I do decide to buy a PSU.

If Cooler Master cases are available where you are, the NR200 might be an attractive option. Decently priced, and very similar to the Ncase M1, if slightly larger. It's not tiny by any means, but pretty darn good for a mass-produced SFF case.

I finally "finished" setting up the new networking equipment. First is the pfSense router I built(Celeron G4900, 8GB RAM). Then that connects to the 1G port on the Mikrotik 5-port 10Gb switch(4x10Gb, 1x1Gb). Then that connects with a 10Gb link to my main desktop and my home server. Then there is a 10Gb link between the Mikrotik switch and one of the 10Gb ports on the Netgear switch. The Netgear switch has 2x10Gb ports and 8x1Gb ports. That way I can have a 10Gb uplink to the Mikrotik without wasting a 10Gb port. There is another 1Gb switch and a WiFi 6 access point not pictured.



Then I got these to replace my crappy* 9900K. I haven't had much time to play around with it yet, just got the board and CPU swapped out on my main computer. But with no voltage change I've managed to tweak the 10850K to match the same boost settings as the 10900K. Then I pushed it a little further and set and all core boost of 5.0GHz with a 2-Core boost of 5.2GHz, again with no voltage increase. So far I'm impressed.

*That is sarcasm.
