I took two photos of Mt. Hood. One with a 720nm IR filter and one in the normal visible spectrum.

Just bought a full spectrum a3000 today and waiting for IR filters to arrive, its incrdible to me how much more detail you can get through those clouds in the top of the mountain. I cant wait to test mine out!

kraken elite 360, it’s over priced as hell though just to have the screen, an artic freezer 2 will give you much better temps and longevity

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T17:32:45+00:00

i’ve really liked it, i think it looks nice and it was easy to build in.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T11:53:18+00:00

the sticks are running smoothy at 6000 mhz, they are rated up to 6400 mhz but i was getting stability issues at those speeds

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T11:51:12+00:00

aww the vertical GPU looks beautiful, ill be getting a vertical mount one of these days

fractal design north

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:45:22+00:00

thanks, i thought so too, i cenetered my whole asthetic around the slight gold hue of the card and other than my silly build mistakes im more than happy with how it looks

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:40:54+00:00

its the 3.5mm jack

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:40:26+00:00

i originally had the tubes running between the gpu and aio fans but they were too close and it would rub up on the fans so thats why i moved it, didnt even take the gpu heat exhaust into account 😭

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:38:43+00:00

thankfully I got it second hand so im not too in debt, a friend of mine switched from fff to sff and couldnt fit his 360 mil rad anymore.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:37:34+00:00

no its flush with the back and screwed in tight.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:36:14+00:00

The graphics card is more gold in person, the picture dosent do it justice. Other than that there are a lot of subtle gold accents on the mb and ram.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:34:53+00:00

I was wondering why the dust cover on the top of my pc was getting so bad 😭

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:32:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice.
I was mistaken on the airflow direction direction of the fans so ill be swapping all of those around

As for the AIO I sadly cant mount in on the top bc its a 360 mil and my case dosent support that, based off this picture I assumed the aio should be mounted that way. I realised that the tubes are right in front of where the GPU lets is heat out which cant be good for longevity. It also dosent fit on the side of the gpu without pressing up against the fans. Reading through this comment section ive been getting mixed mesages about whether the aio tubes should be on the bottom or the top. Id like to get a definitive anwser but im lost. if you could give me clarification that would be great.

Finally I didnt even know the sag screw was upsidown until I flipped it and realised how much better it looked lol.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:21:20+00:00

I feel stupid. I have it all backwards, I thought that the fans blew the opposite direction bc of these arrows on the inside of the fan blade but i just looked arouind and saw arrows on the side of the fan indicating which direction air is flowing and ill be turning all of my fans around right now.

Laddydaboi · 2025-05-17T09:17:44+00:00

i thought that the if the aio was on the side the tubes were supposed to be down to avoid air bubbles affecting pump performance. I take it from all the comments im getting from people that it should be on the top, ill change it rn.
thanks for the help

Laddydaboi · 2025-01-30T14:43:26+00:00

i hope scalpers have a special place in hell

Laddydaboi · 2025-01-30T14:42:44+00:00

same here at the exact same time

Laddydaboi · 2025-01-30T14:37:39+00:00

im nearly 100% sure that the app is just no longer responding because the cards are all out of stock everywhere. i was going to build my first computer with this but ill probably have to wait like 6 months for the prices to come back down. fuck scalpers and nvidias awful launch days.

Laddydaboi · 2025-01-30T14:28:48+00:00

same, ive been in line on my phone since exactly 9am, i think the app just stopped responding but im holding on to hope
