And lastly an update of the sig rig. It previously had the Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 750W which is now in my VR&HTPC.

No rgb lights here.

how do you find it in the dark . great looking rig bud.

mine during the nights and without being in a case (naked)

 

[iBruceypoo]

At the moment? I'm having a very difficult time attaching a SATA PWR and DATA cable, I can't see anything.

And it's a freaking test bench - still some tight dark areas to work in.

 

[plastiscɧ]

what about putting the drive out first, then plug and put back in?

Thx, well I do have a Lamptron fan controller that's lit.

elegant understatement! this is the only way to show-off without being cringe!
absolutely fantastic

during daytime then...

Moving into serious shit mode with multiple seatings of the NH-P1 Noctua passive heatsink.

I expect improved thermal performance.

 

[Jetster]

That screw driver comes with the Noctua NH-P1? Sweet, I want to buy one just to get the driver

On holiday but not going away. So bored and got a LED strip tried it out.

I'd really like to a LED strip around the back of my monitor, all four edges... just not sure which color and not sure where to look for quality... lot of scam LED's out there from what I can tell from a quick search.

Yes the TORX driver arrives in the box. Also (4)TORX thumbscrews and (2)TORX fasteners on the heatsink itself.

I'd recommend only hand-tightening the thumbscrews to attach the mounting plates, and ONLY use the included driver to mount the heatsink.

This pic below with memory removed shows the thumbscrews and heatsink fasteners - all TORX, something new from Noctua.

 

[Jetster]

Don't like the idea of using TORX. That was my next question, was it Phillips? Guess not
I like the cooler though, very industrial

Nope. Noctua moved away from PH2 for this new passive cooler.

I love the "instant grip" you get with the TORX driver when holding the extra large heatsink in position with one hand, tightening with the other - the easiest Noctua mount so far for me.

 

[Jetster]

Yea it has its advantages. I'm pretty organized and have a lot of tools. But I could see someone wanting to take it apart and not knowing were the driver is.

Small Upgrade.... 2080 ti to 3080 ti.... FTW

 

[ElMeiser]

I need Legos to support the front part of the gpu because the IO cover is actually pushing the back side of the gpu down and bending the card

 

[freeagent]

This is probably the last shot of her with thick fans.. the end of an era.. makes me a little sad.

Replacing them?

 

[freeagent]

Replacing them?

Yes sir, for a couple of reasons, first being age.. they do work, but when they spin down they are a lot stiffer than my other fans. One also has a low frequency rumble @ 12v, so tick tock there. Also, I recently had a couple of non industrial fans die over the last year. I think I may have been over revving them. The first to go will not spin over 250rpm and it feels damaged from the inside. The second was a dual ball fan and is in excellent condition on the outside, bearings feel great but it will not rev over 650, I think the board went on that one. If my TY-143 didn’t die from over revs, then it may have been from too much pressure from within the case.. not sure tbh.. and I can only speculate. The other Thermalright fan that I have running is perfectly fine, not in my current system and is being fed by a bunch of stock fractal and cm shittyflows. Not gale force winds

I actually just spent my fan money on a TUF B550M wifi open box unit that I scooped for 125 beaver bucks from newegg. I will use my black and whites and 5600x with it. And that will replace my 3770K and Z77 OC Formula combo that my oldest boy uses. Soo fans will wait till next month and I will either stick Redux 1700s in those holes, or iPPC if they are still on sale..

B550M TUF Wifi......great minds think alike, huh?

I never really thought too highly of the redux fans as to me they're just rehashed versions of the old generation Noctuas, but the NF-R8s have really been changing my perception of them. They're great fans, almost exactly half the price of my NF-A8s but just as good and not brown. They just needed vibration dampers, fortunately I have a box of NA-SAV2.

The call for reviewers got me thinking - really tempted to get a Unify-X and Cerberus X and some 2x16GB B-die, sell my TUF Wifi and Cerberus. ITX just isn't very practical for mem OC and mATX sucks and is too restrictive on features. Also what i wouldn't give for a post code and clr cmos on the rear io

 

[freeagent]

I bought the board mainly because you have it and said it was ok.. plus over a hundred bucks off is crazy lol. Watch those x570s boards will roll in next week I was originally going to get the strix b550f wifi.. maybe I should have but I am sure it will be fine. Although.. that board is going to look redonkulous in my Define R4.. I might trade boards with him and keep that tuf for myself and my little case.. thought not as little as yours!

I think you would do alright reviewing. You played a major part in feeding me info and pointing me in the right direction when I came with my new AMD rig. There was a few of you that taught me what I know, which isn’t much but it gets me by

Thank you

Actually I need you to talk me out of this purchase ......I can probably sell locally my TUF Wifi for the same price as you paid but $350 is still quite a bit to drop on a motherboard......right now my heart is sitting on the Secure Checkout button but my wallet and head will have some choice words for me later lmao. And although I can sell the Cerberus the Cerberus X is even more expensive than the Unify-X......$290 USD ≈ $375 CAD

That Unify-X will be a match made in heaven with either my 4650G or upcoming 5600G.

Always happy to hear I could be of help on the mem front - no expert but I try where I can. Fortunately you've far outstripped my capabilities with B-die, how the turn tables now you're rightfully back to being the expert
