Not done air cooling for a couple of years so digging out the Cryorig R1 for my new Jonsplus case, should work great with Three bottom intakes and Three top exhaust fans, going to be pretty much all Black.

My blower 1080ti will be the loudest thing by far and i'm wishing i didn't sell the 3070 ventus card i managed to get, i'll be getting a 3070 or 3080 card with a quieter cooler if possible.

SUPERCHIP! I struck GOLD! :clap:

Is it stable? Of course not - I don't know where to go with VCore, I'm lost. but still this CPU is awesome!

New WD_Black SN850 PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD, mounted in the ROG Maximus XIII Apex's only M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot - other 3 M.2 slots are PCIe 3.0.

This slot's extra large heatsink sharing thermal conductivity with the mobo's VRM. :rolleyes:

, oh well. :ohwell:

SanDisk 8-lane controller. CLOSE UP!

So I wrote this little song about my computer :laugh:

[Guitar Intro]
My clocks are high, my threads are low
They take me where I want to go
I get there fast, I’m never slow
Cuz I’m rolling down Single-Thread Highway
[Harmonica Solo]

My editor thinks I’m a prolific prodigy
She doesn’t understand the key
It’s the Rocket Fuel, it ain’t me :laugh:

Since I’m rolling down Single-Thread Highway
[Harmonica Solo]

Don’t want you to be afraid
I’m not here to masquerade
I need no multithread parade
Because I’m rolling down Single-Thread Highway
[Guitar End]

:laugh:

OK, I'm no song writer. lol

Everyone hates RGB, yet this is only the B-component. Lighting on a work pc? :ohwell:

I find the blue soothing.

Been working with a the newest Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 at with the one with Intel Core i7-1165G7, 16GB RAM and 512GB NVME SSD PCI-E 4.0 and 1.155KG

Not the most sexy shots but still a beautiful laptop with a price tag of £1900 which is really expensive :kookoo:

After 2.5 years, decided to replace the battery of my ASUS ZenFone 5Z (ZS620KL/621KL). I accidentally damaged the fingerprint sensor FPC trying to take the back cover off and hence needed to replace that part as well. Still a beast of a phone. All parts are genuine and I reassembled everything with a genuine replacement adhesive gasket for the back cover.
The screen on time went up to 7.5 hrs from a mere 4 hrs which I was getting with the old battery installed. It was good to see ASUS using quality parts (both the RAM and ROM are from Samsung).
I took the opportunity to apply some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as well in place of the pink chewing gum.

The Antutu scores are among the best for a Snapdragon 845 platform.

Inside - it looks like a flight deck from StarWars.

And that's why I love it.

khemist · May 26, 2021

Had my 1080ti for around 3 years, longest i've ever kept a card, this 3070 should look nice with my build since it's all Black.

iBruceypoo · May 27, 2021

Love this Sexy Close-Up thread. Loving this new motherboard.

People complaining the WD_Black SN850 PCIe 4.0 SSD reaches 100C and thermal throttles. I ran 6benchmarks and temps never moved beyond 48C, 52C single momentary peak.

Cuz the Apex XIII motherboard heatsinks are so substantial.

This video below the guy breaks the motherboard down - actually building it up from scratch - the coolest video I've ever seen. ALL aluminum heatsinks - no plastic on this board.

This pic below, hey the Maximus XIII Apex is sleeping, leave him alone. :laugh:

This video is PURE CLOSE-UP SEXY!

Everybody loves the clean new board closeups, is there any love for old workhorses here? What about older than dirt CPU coolers that just never give up?
