Galax RTX 2060 Super 8 GB GDDR6 - 1 click OC

I gotta remember to throw pics in here when i yeet my 3090 apart (waterblock is due tomorrow)

iBruceypoo · Apr 29, 2021

It's too close up - it hurts my eyes.

I had about 1/2inch of powdercoated steel to mount this Aquaero 6 LT fan controller, didn't want to drill any holes so used some Velcro black industrial strength low-profile, from a 10foot roll I picked up for about $8 about 5years ago. lol

The (4) fasteners at the corners in the pics are only attaching the heatsink to the PCB, the entire subassembly is mounted with pure Velcro - superstrong.

The test bench/chassis is a Primochill Wetbench SX Pro, link below:

Praxis WetBenchSX Pro - Angled Edition

THE BEST BENCH JUST GOT BETTER That perfection is a moving target is no reason to not chase it. The WetbenchSX is the result of our pursuit. Never happy with "good enough", we made the new bench more compact, modular, rigid, and all-around faster and easier to use than its predecessor. Be it for...

no it really HAS been everywhere (bottom to top, in order) - the order of events makes no sense whatsoever and they've been investigating for a few days now

Failed delid of a soldered chip (is gore sexy!?). This was a Xeon L5420, basically a low-TDP server version of the Core 2 Quad Q9450. It's totally possible to delid a soldered chip without pre-heating but I was tightening the vice too fast and knew it was game over when I heard little cracking sounds. You need to go SUPER slow. At least I delidded successfully on the next attempt after this one.

This is pretty cool though because the broken chiplet is almost perfectly intact. You can see the two Harpertown cores and 6MB L2 cache.

Reminds me when I tried to delid a Pentium D 925, the exactly same happened to me; the other die came with the IHS.

There is no way that one package has made that many trips back and forth between Europe and Melbourne. They are having an IT system glitch of some sort.

We ordered a teddy bear to help cancer kids shipped from Canada back in 2017, it travelled to Chicago, then Australia, then the US Postal Service claimed it was lost, then they tracked it in France, then again claimed it was lost, then it showed up here in Florida a few days later - that teddy took a World Tour.

Hope you amazing gents and gals like this sexy hardware close-up pic:

Is that a DHL tracking list? They lost my package from EKWB last week Friday. Delivered it to who know where with a nice picture of somebody's doorway. DHL investigation just ended today I guess they couldn't recover the package and told me it's lost go ask the shipper to file a claim.

That M11H and 9900K are both "beyond sexy". I'm even diggin' your memory sticks man.

I just went for a 6core 11600K this time around. RKL = a stop gap for Intel and me as well. So far no regrets, lovin' this little 6core. :love:

Hey, there's that world travelling teddy!

The arrangement of the SATA ports are, I'd say at least, interesting. Thumbs up for the teddybear. :toast:

I suspect it's due to social distancing....Teddy Bear approved.

now to spend the rest of the day assembling...

Vendor · May 2, 2021

just want to add couple of more rgb fans so it glows even more, bit dark on the right of cpu cooler and gpu as there are no rgb fans providing even light in that area though it's not that bad but more fans would definitely make it look even more aesthetic

I straight up thought the fluorescent tube behind you was inside the case and was about to commend you for creative lighting :laugh:

Less is more, looks nice and stealthy

well, tbh when i was checking my pictures on pc few days ago, it looked like that to me as well and was surprised to see how is it even possible
