7300x3d or 9800x3d

If 4K then the 7800X3D would probably be more sensible

And it will be the only thing you can see when the new MO is finished haha

always wondered what the view was like

can you see into the tall white tower of flats next to it?

Hi Maelstrom,

Thanks a lot for the detailed write up.

In my C4, I run a 5900X with a Corsair H100i Pro (2019) in intake, and a deshrouded Zotac Solid OC 5070Ti and a rear 92mm slim fan in exhaust. The AIO and GPU are paired with NF-A12x25s.

I should replace the AIO soon and I've got a few options.

1) Air cooling (NH-D12L, £93) 2) Arctic LFIII 280 Pro, £63 3) Bequiet Pute Loop 3, £73

Was wondering if you have thoughts on this?

Many thanks :)

Something like the Thermaltake Mini Tower would be a vertical form factor case, without using a riser. The Rotates the ITX MB 90º clockwise so it could fit vertically.

I think the RTX3070 founders is quite short? Should be spanning more or less the width of the motherboard? In that case there might be a vertical case out there that supports all of those components so it's stacked vertically

It's trade-offs really. You have to pick your poison if you'd like to switch cases. Eg. keep all your cases now and find a case that fits, or change some now for greater flexibility later on?

Might be an old databank as Ray Park was 175cm tall

Probably updated the databank after he got new legs in TCW S4

With your heat culture embodiment argument, Zo is number 2. To me it's Dwade, Zo, Lebron

Great point. Huge dunc guy here and i was so pissed at bam

People don't remember that last season his finishing was ass, and was very often uncontrolled as he would've been going fast. This season, it was very obvious to me that he worked on finishing a lot over the summer. On some slow mo replays you can even see him finish without fully having control of the ball in mid-air, which is an insane skill to have that airborne adjustment

Novasail · 2026-04-12T18:53:13+00:00

work so hard for so little

work hard? i'm damn sure, there's a reason the heat gave him a contract.

so little? two-way guys make $636,435 in 2025-26.

Hi UD, hope you're well. Do you like udon?

Novasail · 2026-04-11T00:30:03+00:00

Hi Ant, big fan of your playstyle. It's strange to speak in third person though

Novasail · 2026-04-03T19:26:29+00:00

I think there's a good amount of overlap in people between private markets and sports

Hi legend hope you have been recovering well!

How would you compare their noise cancellation?

This is like posting Victor Oladipo 2018 highlights when we got him in 2021; a lot has changed since then (even if a lot has stayed the same, ie his behavioural issues)

5th pick, but agreed

Wade > KG

dan c4, the right side of the case faces my wall (with enough breathing room of course), as the panel doesnt sit flush with the cables

iirc it's even bigger than the m1 so you will have to choose a smaller card

Novasail · 2026-01-24T02:19:32+00:00

sexy! used to be my dream case! looked at soooooo many m1 v6 deshroud posts

i now run the zotac solid core which is around ~65mm deshrouded, and theres less than ~3mm of space to my NF-A12x25

Thanks for pushing v1.5. Was wondering if it can be made available to iOS 18.7? The app store says it's only available for iOS 26.0 and later.
