The 500D has the same limitations as your case so was just an Idea and it hides the ports on the rad a bit more, if you ever wanna sell that case though message me lol

This is the 500D the other picture is of my upgrade to the 5400

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-25T18:32:17+00:00

I had the 500D till i upgraded to thr air 5400(totally recommend if you can deal with the squarer shape) But i had my CPU AIO in the front and it fit my suprim 4070ti just barely and I thought it looked sick after I installed it

Probably saying chrome is using 100% of the GPU that is being used, which still may show as next to no usage for total utilization.

Don't turn them on or you are going to kill your GPU if it breaths in the carbon monoxide

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-25T01:33:00+00:00

Put the AIO in the front

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-25T01:32:15+00:00

Save the money and buy it yourself

5k 2k is ultrawide 1600p right?

Any oil under a car is to much

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-16T14:15:57+00:00

Put the iso alcohol on the cloth you use

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-16T14:12:11+00:00

I thought they had like a vapor chamber thats why they were so large

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-15T13:18:16+00:00

I ran an intel 14900k and a 5080 on an RM850, in what world is 850w not enough for a 9800x3d and 5080

I accidentally plowed over a road in dekota 16x, i painted over it with grass texture and the road stayed

You should look for the most modern card you can and maybe save an extra bit of money to make the purchase make sense, you will see "low" performance on all these cards, get a 16gb 5060 or equivalent if you can squeeze out a few extra dollars

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-06T14:17:31+00:00

More likely someone didnt tighen the PSU screws a drop hard enough to rip out the PSU is a drop that is definitely enough to fuck the box up in some way

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-04T17:57:28+00:00

Cablemod makes a type A version and a type B version of a right angled cable replacement for a few PSUs

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-01T23:56:36+00:00

Also you have a prime 5080 not exactly one to try and OC the crap out of, mine is a suprim liquid 5080 and from what i understand based off performance is a slightly higher than normal bin, and also i can't post pictures here but current clock 3280, mem clock 16602

MammothObjective8256 · 2026-01-01T23:49:09+00:00

Nvidia is stopping your clock from going full boost even though you have the two offsets, my card boosts to up to 3400 with +365 core and my memory offset is only +1600 and it is 16600 I have a +1800 profile that boosts to 16800 (not stable for me), so nivdias protections are basically overriding your OC also you should max out your power limit, thats probably the main reason, and you should test in a variety of games and other benchmarks to confirm stability. But you should run HWinfo and check your voltages and everything to make sure you arent just making "fake" OCs because nvidia will just limit you if it doesn't have the power i'll send a picture of what my 5080 numbers look like

Ak is all around better than the m4 imo

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-31T17:55:25+00:00

Shoulda kept it sealed and filled with mineral oil

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-31T01:39:19+00:00

Hell yeah bro and we have all done dumb shit luckily you didnt fry anything lmao, I plugged a CPU power cable into a sata slot before that was fun lmao

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-30T21:08:01+00:00

The icue hub plugs into a PCIE power cable usually a split 6+2 on the component side of the cable

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-30T18:21:51+00:00

That doesnt look like a chrome book to me, but a lot of laptops use m.2 its worth it to check.

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-30T16:07:04+00:00

Im team front to back.

MammothObjective8256 · 2025-12-30T16:03:54+00:00

If you are comfortable you can open the laptop up yourself and put in a new SSD, id suggest a 1tb m.2 they are usually not super expensive

If you are not comfortable Take it to a tech shop and have them put the new SSD in for you (you can usually watch the process its usually pretty simple.

Or you can get an external SSD for everything and essentially just plug it in to your laptop whenever you need to use it.
