Okay! So I took a razorblade to my 2 month old X3D..
I think I have the pins straight enough for an insertion.. its hard to tell though, my eyes are not as good as they used to be.
After this post I am going to power down the rig and test my luck.
I am using AS Ceramique II this time, hopefully the CPU wont stick!
I had to remove the heatsink from my 3700x earlier
It had liquid metal that had basically soldered itself on, I had to push down to prevent it from just yeeting the CPU out, and tap the fecker with a rubber mallet to break the seal
She was TIGHT
B450-I strix is dead, cant find an ITX replacement so that's just a pile of sadness right now
GTX 1080, 1070 and 1070Ti with a tri SLI capable mobo AND THEY CANT SLI
Lil' Red ITX LAN Hood is out for the count, she's been gutted as an organ donor
Bad ideas only build is in full swing again
We have:
Logitech K400+ keyboard and trackpad for it's excellent gaming performance
5800x at stock settings
Be quiet dark rock slim with liquid metal TIM
AX370 Gaming 5 (For it's age it's done EXTREMELY well with BIOS updates) - RGB locked to red, with the RAM
4x8GB mismatched RAM at 3333MT/s - two samsung, two hynix and paired wrong so the RGB ones are side by side. Still works.
GTX 1080 with liquid metal off a pigtail power cable because the other power cable was lost
Some random second hand PSU missing most of its cables
2x200m rainbow vomit intakes
120mm locked to green exhaust
2x140mm fractal white top exhaust fans
PC wasn't connected to internet, so f*ck you i took photos of a curved monitor while heaven was running
CPU sat at 4.5GHz all core in CPU-Z's multi threaded bench at about 75C, which IMO is a fantastic result for auto settings on 120mm air
