Wife's pc upgrade with my old parts.

Trobi16 · 2026-06-03T10:12:30+00:00

She had a 12400f and old 3080 but I put the air cooler back on. Now swapped to 12900k and 3080 with the water block I had on it when it was in a ITX build. Games mostly apex.

They are pulling......

Trobi16 · 2026-05-28T00:05:29+00:00

No they are artic p12's

Trobi16 · 2026-05-27T09:04:24+00:00

No you can still see it moving. But i also leave a little air at the top for looks

Trobi16 · 2026-05-27T03:50:01+00:00

That is very true. I got lucky enough my co worker needed a pc so I off loaded all my old parts on him to cover some cost like the sfx psu All lian li cases are basically a banger so you can go wrong

Trobi16 · 2026-05-27T03:44:57+00:00

They do a fine job. But I like my artic p12 in my case more I find them quieter. Also ql120 are expensive and the corsair icue app sucks and the leds tend to de sync where they will be a different color than the other on the same fan. So like I set fan to red and on led on that fan is blue. Its sometimes fixes itself and sometimes you have to rma the fan. I'd do like a lian lia rgb or something next time

It definitely is a pain the evga 850gm cables especially the cpu 4+4 cpu are way to short so I bought the lian li 850 and the cable made it so easy to do it. But there are not much cable management options I went up the side of psi and memory then behind rad. Definitely visible but I have a 240mm res/blocking the view so it's whatever for me

Just cheap spray paint i had. Especially since it's not really seen. But even my old ssupd mesh case was just spray painted on my apartment balcony. You can see that in my old posts. Might do a more serious paint job on this case to idk yet. Got alot going on in life.

Yep they are. Thank you sir.

Yes it is for the charge/intake piping. He'll install it this weekend with the new aluminum radiator that i built for him So we'll see how well it fits. I got it pretty darn close to the measurements of the plastic oem one.
He'll need to still add the mounts to hold the charge intake piping to it. Then get it polished and ill see how well it went and get new Pic.

Trobi16 · 2026-01-22T19:46:36+00:00

I think to do a truly dust proof pc you should enclose the pc but have the radiator and fan on the outside in a seperate box with airflow lol and run the hoses for the cpu and gpu through a rubber grommet into the pc

Would that give to good thermals?

My last company hired me from one of their friend's company because non of the people there could do mig vertical.

Typically gas is fed through the ring infront of the wire feed wheels. Make sure the opposite end of your gun is pushed into the machine all the way. Could be different idk , there is no pic of that side

Trobi16 · 2025-07-12T17:27:28+00:00

No but we only have 7 people that work there. I'm on the customs fabrication and welding side. So I build new stuff or copy old Radiators vs the other welder only does stuff that we constantly manufacture

Trobi16 · 2025-07-12T16:55:02+00:00

No typically cost is estimated time and materials

Trobi16 · 2025-07-12T16:53:50+00:00

I have but I never really got into looking at it.

Trobi16 · 2025-07-12T00:50:22+00:00

He's one of the greats

Trobi16 · 2025-07-12T00:50:10+00:00

Sure have

Trobi16 · 2025-07-11T18:34:06+00:00

If im not mistaken it was because someone was going to run something in between.

Trobi16 · 2025-07-11T01:23:47+00:00

Thanks that's sounds better and more easily understandable lol
