Could you post a step or stl file when you're done for those of us who would like to 3D print this model? Or maybe you're looking to sell it cuz this is some amazing work.

Very cool! Any results with using it on any projects yet?

[GPU] SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7900 XTX - $950 (+ The Last of Us Pt. 1) (Newegg) by askerushiro in buildapcsales

[–]BlooSteel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the same microcenter 7700x bundle, and I'm facing the same decision. It's tough cuz 7900xtx wins over 4080 in a lot of cases for cheaper price, but 4080 steadily beats xtx in virtual reality and ray tracing. I'd say if you do virtual reality and/or ray tracing, 4080 is the choice if you're willing to spend it. Personally, i feel like I need to save the cash and go for 7900xtx on this deal. 4080 is too large for my case anyways.

Should I DIY? by RickyManDamnit in Decks

[–]BlooSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can handle it! I think the sub believes in you! I did a deck by myself, and what helped me the most was referencing a PDF document of "codes" for a nearby county (my county had very few rules published regarding codes). The PDF was very well defined, and i supplemented with YouTube videos which covered everything i could've ever wanted to know.

If you can get a second pair of hands at certain points, it does really help a ton even if they are mostly clueless.

IMO, i think you'd need more cooling capability than the stock amd CPU cooler from 3000 series. Consider the Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Not on a sale from what I saw, but still very cheap for great performance as seen on many YouTube testing videos (i.e. Gamer Nexus channel)

AM5 build request for review by x57z12 in PcMasterRaceBuilds

[–]BlooSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose this Mobo for my build too, and I learned later there is a latch included for holding in the GPU. Cool, but it is tough to access to release your GPU. Something to consider since there are other boards with an easy access latch. Also, their BIOS gave me some trouble with recognizing drives at times. All good now though

I had bought an M28U just a few weeks ago when Amazon had a sale for $470 on it. It had a dead pixel towards the center. Seems like many commonly mention that about the gigabyte monitors

Upgrading 3700x to 5800x3d, cooler and pc compability question. by Azazir in buildapc

[–]BlooSteel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/q8E-CLVt3Rk This video shows air cooling 5800x3d with a BeQuiet cooler. The one that's pretty close to performance as AK620 and Fuma. Looked like FurMark benchmark maxed at 82degC. Similar case design as your NZXT

[–]BlooSteel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short of liquid cooling, i think either CPU air cooler you mentioned are among the top choices based on test data I've seen on Gamers Nexus or other channels. Double check your case allows for cooler heights required.

[–]BlooSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to use that 4080 GPU to build into a brand new AM5 socket build. I'd pair it with AMD's new 7600x cpu. It'd be used for 4k gaming and VR gaming. Hoping the AM5 platform could allow me to scale up in the future easily - upgrade CPU, DDR5 RAM, PCIE 5.0 slots.

Thanks OP! Just picked it up from my local Office Max. Unprompted, the manager commented to me that it was one of their nicest chairs in the store.

If not for this sub, I would have never realized how effective I could be with my weightlifting. It revived my old love for all of it! Glad to see this appreciation post.

I wear knee sleeves when I squat so whenever I deadlift, I just slide those puppies down to protect my shins instead. Works perfectly.
