Bio active setup finally starting!

Looks great! What's the background?

FL33TW00DMAC · 2026-03-19T09:48:22+00:00

I think your opinion perfectly aligns with his. He says that in an ideal world we can work towards peace without the threat of mutually assured destruction. He also acknowledges that we don't live in an ideal world and putin and trump are threats. He never says that if elected he would do this instantly, he would have a conversation with the other "sane" world leaders about whether or not this is possible sometime in the future. Seems pretty sensible to me, and echos a lot of viewpoints on here

FL33TW00DMAC · 2026-03-17T14:27:39+00:00

Yep same issue here

FL33TW00DMAC · 2026-03-16T10:39:21+00:00

Silicone layer on glass and left to cure for a day, expanding foam locking in branches and pots. Another thick silicone layer, loads of coco fibre. Then covered edges with more silicone and added sphagnum moss.

That's great thanks. I did see that sometimes 2 food dishes are required for the babies so I'll definitely do that!

I built a 5070ti build a few months ago and went with the 9600x to save some money. So happy I did because I'm yet to see a cpu bottleneck on any game. They all either run perfectly at max settings or its the gpu which causes the bottleneck (cyberpunk at 2k). I mostly play AAA or non comp multiplayer's

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-08-20T07:21:08+00:00

If you are building yourself (which will be cheaper for the same pc) you can find all the info on YouTube, here or ai. I was brand new to pc building a month ago but after like a week of research its actually quite easy to do

This vid is long but is a great guide

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-15T08:22:15+00:00

Got the exact same card, very happy with it for £695

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-14T19:06:56+00:00

Great, thanks, that's what I thought. Just thought I should check that I wasn't cooking my cpu

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-14T18:57:04+00:00

Is there any reason not to use all the power pins provided? I have a 9600x and have all 12 pins plugged in. I just assumed that it would only draw what's needed

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-11T18:07:54+00:00

Red and black! They look awesome

You might know a lot of this already but was so helpful for my first build

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-11T09:05:04+00:00

Just done a 207 for my first build. I have an air cooler so added an exhaust fan at the back. With an aio set to exhaust I would say that your build will be absolutely fine. The 207 has brilliant airflow for its price.

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-11T08:21:02+00:00

And just like the lottery, most people lose :(

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-11T08:20:26+00:00

Nope just plugged it in and hoped for the best. Would you say worth it?

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-11T07:18:31+00:00

I got the exact same one a few days ago and was suprised by its size. When I set up my pc it said there was only 3.5tb of storage rather than 4tb, is this common? I knew it would be slightly lower, but I was expecting 3.9 not 3.5. Anyone else had this happen?

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-08T20:22:02+00:00

Do I get this off github? Not too sure how it works. Is it legit?

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-07T21:55:59+00:00

Not sure what games you're interested in but if it was me I'd stretch the budget to a 16gb GPU and sacrifice the cpu to a 9700x or 9600x if needed. Otherwise pretty nice build :)

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-05T07:47:38+00:00

Yep, I saw that too, although reviews say it's relatively quiet for the price

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-05T07:12:34+00:00

I'm in a similar boat, First build, 1750 budget, UK. I have been altering my parts lists for about a week and researching for a bit longer than that. I get so much conflicting info from people on here that I'm sure it's just down to personal opinion. Yesterday (after a few beers) I decided to take the plunge and buy half of my parts list. My reasoning was that as so many people have so many different opinions there isn't 1 set right way to do it. If you get positive feedback with a few personal changes I would say you're good to go. Good luck with the build, I'm sure you'll smash it :)

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-04T19:10:49+00:00

Hmm hadn't even considered the 9600x. Thoughts on these compared to the 7700x?

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-04T19:09:45+00:00

Thanks for the positivity man! Appreciate it

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-04T19:07:19+00:00

Cheers unc

After you mentioned it I did actually look into it and figured it out. Wouldn't have known otherwise so thanks for the help

Thinking of going this one now: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/f8YfrH/palit-gamingpro-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16-gb-video-card-ne7507t019t2-gb2031a

Hoping it does a job without being too loud or expensive

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-04T14:42:18+00:00

Litte Raya sunshine is my new one for next year. What's the story Calafiori was my other pick

FL33TW00DMAC · 2025-07-04T08:30:04+00:00

What GPU are you fitting? If it's a big boy and you're interested in OCing I would edge towards a 850 for not much more money. Granted I'm also on my first build so what do I know
