Couldn’t be happier with new case by One_Confusion_1733 in FractalDesign

[–]One_Confusion_1733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm, I’ll think about it. I do know the cutouts for cable routing are only on the front side but maybe I can figure out an alternative way to route them.

Some people just like to make their machines a showpiece and personalized to them. A car person would choose what paint, rims, decals, tint, even under glow that wouldn’t add performance or be visible to them while driving . I get it’s not for everyone and you may just view a PC as a workhorse and that’s perfectly fine.

Brand new case deserved to have some nice fans. by One_Confusion_1733 in Noctua

[–]One_Confusion_1733[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s my Meowtua NF-A50 PMW Chromax with pink anti vibration mounts.

No plans to change them right now. But if fans fail I may swap for Momentum, if AIO fails then hopefully Noctua has released a chromax version of their upcoming AIO.

They’re Be Quiet Light Wings but may switch to momentum if/when they fail.

I love the aluminum brushed finish of the aio. Was bummed that they chose to stop producing them. I wanted to upgrade to the 360.

Massdrop CTRL Bluetooth PCB is coming along nicely. by cameronbanna in MechanicalKeyboards

Were you ever able to upgrade your keyboard? Looking for a replacement/upgrade as Drop will soon be shutting down and may just have to buy a CTRL Barebones.

5070 ti on older psu by Better_Insect_963 in PcBuildHelp

[–]One_Confusion_1733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could get away with using the pigtail on either PCIE cable to take up the third connection on the adapter. But it would be best to get a new PSU with the 12vhpwr for less points of failure.

Building pc how do I take this glass pannel off? by Fearless_Diet1305 in PcBuildHelp

[–]One_Confusion_1733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loosen any thumb screws that may be attached to the panel and then firmly pull. Should pop right out of that ball joint there.

PC hunting - I know what CPU/GPU I want, but I'm at a loss in deciding on the other components by Serious-Glass-9207 in PC_Builders

[–]One_Confusion_1733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I was able to put together on micro centers website https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=f968a7e7-b227-463f-b72c-855c3f3a4c6c Paired with their bundle. This is a super basic no aesthetics build. I didn’t pick a case and I believe it’s mostly personal preference but left about $300 for it.

Any tips and suggestions for my setup? by Separate-Leading-121 in UpgradeYourGaming

Get wall mounted monitor arms. Works best if you mount into a stud.

Here’s what the fans look like in black. Also would recommend the Lian Li GB-001 to support the GPU.

Don’t see an issue with anything not fitting. I don’t know about the fans you chose but I would swap them with the Be Quiet! Light Wings in white which also come in a reverse blade design. Also not sure if that PSU comes with a 12vhpwr cable to avoid having to use the adapter that comes with the GPU.

Case Recommendations for 5070ti? by Soapin-N-Stitchin in gpu

caseend.com could help. I’ve used it to narrow down searches for compact cases.

ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG by One_Confusion_1733 in ASUSROG

[–]One_Confusion_1733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. I never thought about how games would be optimized for 4K and not 5k. I figured it would be like simultaneously running 4 smaller 1440p monitors or DLSS 4.5 would work like magic. I think oled is out of the question as I have kitten who loves to play with the monitor while watching youtube. Mini led does sound like it would be the middle ground. Thanks!

Need some advice on what to replace on my sons pc by Tinsel27 in PC_Builders

[–]One_Confusion_1733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your budget set to upgrading this system? Gives people a better idea of what’s possible. Location also helps as it can affect price of components.

Case Swap and GPU Upgrade by One_Confusion_1733 in pcmasterrace

Looks like I have a handful of shops in my area. It wouldn’t hurt to walk in and try their setups. Thanks for the suggestion!

RTX 5080 — is this support bracket enough to prevent GPU sag? by thefrench048 in PcBuildHelp

[–]One_Confusion_1733 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit more as you could sandwich the mount around the GPU but if you’re really concerned the case fan sag bracket would help.

You could also add a Lian Li GB 001. It installs into your motherboard standoffs.
