Actually, the board on the right is the one I got from @Norton but, at this point I had already swapped the CPUs. The 3930k is actually in the board on the left and the 3820 is in the board on the right.

Well I was close wasn't I

thebluebumblebee · Aug 18, 2017

I thought it was this one and not that one. I was close.

Aquinus · Aug 18, 2017

So, the 3930k runs hot and pulls over 100w more off the wall at stock than the 3820 so, I'm thinking about going to the store and picking up a H100i to cool it since I know it can fit inside my Antec 1200.

Edit: It was so hungry because it was trying to apply my 3820 overclock to the 3930k with auto voltage which was 4.4Ghz on all cores. At least I know it works.

Another 4TB for the server, though I'm gaining only 2TB in capacity as I'll be removing a dying 2TB drive at the same time.

Older model, used 2 years, HDN724040ALE640 (64MB)

Newer model, HDN726040ALE614 (128MB)

Anker Powercore 20000mAh battery pack... you can never have enough of those specially in Flori.... uhh West Virginia where the weather and power is wonky.

Norton · Aug 22, 2017

Picked up one of these from Amazon

Works great- easier than using a screwdriver on the power switch pins

AsRock · Aug 22, 2017

Could of just used a case switch to do the same thing, or a simple micro switch from a old mouse even.

Sure I could but this was $8 and comes with power, reset, power & HDD leds along with a 6' molded cord.

I have a system running on top of my file cabinet atm and the power switch is sitting on my desk :cool:

AsRock · Aug 22, 2017

Ok could of done it with a broken RGB mouse

Kanan · Aug 22, 2017

Got a new used GPU from a friend a few days ago:

Comparison with the old one, a 780 Ti DCU II:

Doing great so far, my PC was getting a bit slow lately, so this one should help for a while.

Belkin cigarette-lighter power unit with four 2.4a ports. Feels well constructed. It is replacing a year-old no-name unit that recently started to "whine" (cap?). Could mail the old one to bigclive for a tear down video...

Also picked up some related devices for my divided family:

Finished my partners Ryzen 5 build 2 weeks ago.
Parts:

Case:

I did struggle to grab the box which contains the screws though as i had no idea how you removed the HDD tray lol..figured it out eventually.

Complete:

Future plans..add another HDD,change front fans for quieter and white LED fans.
I have also decided to give my Samsung monitor aswell for her to use instead of a giant 42" TV which made web browsing experience terrible.
So i got myself another Samsung C27F591 27 curved monitor 1080p, which oc to 72hz with freesync enabled to pair with my RX580 and tidied my desk setup to just PC only and moved my MGSV PS4 downstairs next to the Xbone.

@Aquinus.... oh goodness - is that my old board and cpu? Love how it travels well! If it is, it may have DIMM slot issues - I had to switch to 2 x 8GB slots as I think DIMM 1 may be corrupted or the socket has a bent pin..... It once suffererd a minor water cooling leak..... whoopsy

Ahhzz · Aug 28, 2017

It's not a lot, and it's at home, but my 21.6 died, and replaced it with this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TYDEJS/?tag=tec06d-20

Considering some of the issues we'd had lately, I'm pleased with the 3-year advance exchange warranty.

Your old board is still running in my crunching farm

Yours is the P9X79 Pro and it's not for sale... Will be given to another Team member when the time comes

The P9X79 Deluxe that @Aquinus picked up from me was purchased last year from another TPU member
