5800x is a honking beast, you just gotta tune the PBO settings so you get the same performance, for less wattage (and that alleviates the heat issue)

That's a great looking monitor.

Got this LG 32 QHD IPS last Black Friday on SuperSale at Amazon for $179 - not as nice as yours but the price was right. :)

It's a RAID1 box, 5.25in.

Hardware RAID at the backplane.

Don't want to create bios RAID or software RAID, lost data in the past. :oops:

Scheduled to launch in North America next week. Only ONE SATA cable to the motherboard, and no fan needed, sweeeet! :p

@iBruceypoo sweet let us know how it goes

I would have prefered a choice between RAID1 and RAID0 though

No formal comparisons from me just yet, I'm really slow with this new build and so many new variables - added the 4800/17 memory kit into the mix, spending all my time with that before I have to send it back. :)

Reviewers seem to be saying the NH-P1 thermal performance with the Noctua 120mm low rpm fan is just below the NH-D15 (Yet not with sustained loads). So if you can avoid extremely long loading times with your CPU, like forget 24hour Prime 95, this cooler will do you very well in a silent inaudible build.

I would recommend adding a 140mm fan firing down configuration, but how many can actually set that up when using a standard case? :confused:

The NH-P1 cooler is much better fitted with a test bench or open air case and 140mm fan downfiring directly into the cooler and onto the motherboard components.

That's where it really shines. The very thick yet very few fins offer almost no resistance to the cold air flowing down and beyond the cooler onto the M.2 and DDR4 and VRM.

Expect improved SSD M.2 thermals if your primary drive mounts below the NH-P1. :)

Honestly if that huge ass thing say, fit well in my fractal case - i could see myself chucking that with a 140mm ARGB spinner downfacing, and having a nice side on rainbow

I've just scored a good deal (compared to recent market conditions) on an EVGA RTX 2070 Black on ebay. I'm happy to see prices slowly coming down.

This forced me to change from a slim case to a normal one. My choice was the Corsair 280X. I bought the non-RGB version as it is considerably cheaper, and I can upgrade to my own RGB setup later if I want to.

Pics of the system (details in my profile): - please don't mock the CPU cooler. I needed the slimmest one possible in the Aerocool CS-101. :p Maybe my next upgrade will be a liquid AIO to unlock the full potential of the 11700 (it currently operates locked to 65 W PL1).

My speakers decided to die, so I got some new ones. Not easy to find some decent "computer" speakers these days for some reason.
Although, in hindsight I kind of regret it for several reasons, least not the fact that they have crap Bluetooth audio support. I don't understand why the manufacturers always list the pointless spec, but never the actual codecs supported. SBC really sounds terrible compared to aptX or LDAC, or even AAC, of which none are supported by the R1855DB. SBC only in a set of brand new speakers (it's a 2020 model) is just sad. Bluetooth 5.0 doesn't really matter, as it has nothing to do with audio. None of the reviews I found actually checked what kind of Bluetooth audio codecs were supported.
Unfortunately it's going to be a bit tricky to send them back now. In fairness they sound fine using optical input, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much. Just a shame I hadn't realised Edifier is a chinese company... :(
Also, the remote is a real dust magnet.

Throw in some tinted acrylic and you are in for some dark looking aesthetic.

I've just scored a good deal (compared to recent market conditions) on an EVGA RTX 2070 Black on ebay. I'm happy to see prices slowly coming down.

This forced me to change from a slim case to a normal one. My choice was the Corsair 280X. I bought the non-RGB version as it is considerably cheaper, and I can upgrade to my own RGB setup later if I want to.

Pics of the system (details in my profile): - please don't mock the CPU cooler. I needed the slimmest one possible in the Aerocool CS-101. :p Maybe my next upgrade will be a liquid AIO to unlock the full potential of the 11700 (it currently operates locked to 65 W PL1).

That's a great chassis, I almost bought one back a few years ago, looks like so many options and room for big hands. Have a blast with that transfer build. :D

Artisan keycaps, well waddaya know?

Definitely unnecessary, and a bit silly but my keyboard is so basic black and white it needs something fancy to wear to parties :laugh: - so might buy only one for the ESC key.

At $100 each, yea most definitely I'll only buy one. :laugh:

Did I read that right? It cost one hundred USD for one key?

Thanks. :D I love the dual compartment design. It's so good for cable management, keeps your sata drives hidden and it also keeps the height of the chassis down. I prefer a boxy design to towers for some reason.

I wrote about my first impressions in my build log (link in my signature). :)
