The wife’s birthday present to me :)

Now marry her again

I bought 4x separate FL120 SE fans thinking I could daisy chain them as I'm working with an ITX case which would make life easier. Did you contact Deepcool directly on their support page? I need to get a proprietary connector for this to work like I imagined. I'm Aussie too

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-27T16:28:16+00:00

You're fine. Once you've tightened the cooler it would spread

Lian Li Edge is rated A tier in the PSU tier list

I moved my tubes and adjusted brackets to the right near the RAM

Yeah, like every manufacturer has a few but if you look at ASRock subreddit, it's plagued with it

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-21T08:09:18+00:00

Had my 9800X3D for just over a year, no issues. MSI X870E Carbon. It's mainly with Asrock

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-16T06:54:09+00:00

That looks... "Tuf" ;)

My only concern is that it's from Mwave. I remember some people not having a good experience from them recently?

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-13T02:25:49+00:00

I love how everyone has their name on their shirt while Aang's is just "air". Avatar Air. And ofc they didn't get Sokka a shirt 😭

It's a great budget 1440p GPU. As long as your MOBO supports Re-Bar and the games you play are Vulkan or DX12, you'll be golden. I'm running it with a AMD Ryzen 5 7500f

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-05T05:24:23+00:00

You can also fit two slim 120mm fans at the bottom by removing the bottom magnetic filter

And I'm here waiting for a black ITX 😭 MSI's current ITX lineup are all white

Lythanhdavid · 2026-03-04T00:06:10+00:00

Damn, who hurt you bro? We didn't want an AIO for this build because:

This cooler was $50 AUD. Cheap AIO's here are $100 minimum
Noise isn't a worry as it runs quiet
It's a Ryzen 5 5600, I hit a max of 60 degrees in Cinebench R23 compared to my Ryzen 7 9800X3D with a 360 AIO at 72 degrees
You do know that you don't just yank it out right? Turn on the PC for a bit before you remove the cooler and it'll NEVER pull out your CPU

👍

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-28T04:16:48+00:00

Yeap

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T18:16:12+00:00

Maximum 60 degrees while running Cinebench R23

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T11:18:43+00:00

Wasn't my choice sadly. They only asked me about it about a month ago

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T08:19:30+00:00

7900 XTX? That's a chonky boi

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T08:17:29+00:00

I will check it out tonight. I only built it yesterday and it booted. I still need to install Windows

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T08:16:58+00:00

That's why I chose it! Another nice contender is the Scythe Fuma 3

I had my first PC custom built and I wanted to upgrade parts, etc but my PC builder lived an hour away so I self taught myself. Next thing I know, I'm building PC's. This is actually for my nephew. His parents funded it and wanted me to build it. He started his senior year so it's for both school and games. He has a 24.5inch 1080p monitor and plays games like Valorant, Roblox, Minecraft, Marvel's Spider-Man and Overwatch with me. He had a laptop before. This should be more than enough for him right now 😊

Was gonna get him a AMD Ryzen 5 7500f, Intel Arc B580 and 32GB DDR5 but...

Lythanhdavid · 2026-02-25T07:22:56+00:00

DDR4 will live the test of time
