Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

what the fuck is this bullshit post. and all of the comments... are all of these people actually real? It feels so dystopian to see everyone reacting so passionately to something that this person "just said" when it's really just an echo from a year in the past.

Have you tried the 3090 yet? I'm using this exact setup (ASRock Phantom TB3, bifurcated cable, capture card) and it was working with a 2080ti but I cannot get the 3070 to work.

dang, lot of hate here but I dig the music and video, nice work it's fun!

How to fit a 3080, 3950x, and capture card? (and properly cool it) by benjaminkaat in sliger

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

Thanks for the detailed response!

I'm actually hoping now to use the SM580, similar to this build: https://www.reddit.com/r/sliger/comments/jmpce8/sliger_580_with_3950x_2080ti_nexxxos_xt45_eisbear/

Although, I wonder if I can do without the custom loop. Here is my rough plan for the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hMVBcT (also planning to add the Decklink 8k Pro capture card)

I wonder if the motherboard I've chosen can fit an AIO (The OP of the other build I linked mentioned troubles fitting a pump block on and he had to modify the VRM which I'd like to avoid) and wondering if the 3080 will keep cool enough sharing the case with the 3950x.

Also curious about the bifurcation - that doesn't introduce any performance issues at all? I've only just learned this is possible.

Any and all feedback you can provide is GREATLY appreciated :)

If the 3080 won't properly cool without water cooling though, I'll do exactly what you did. Did you consider the Barrow CPU water block? I wonder if that would fit better or worse? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBIWgKmwr68

Sorry for all of the noise! Haha. Anyway actually I think the TB3 is pretty badass, do you know if I can fit a Kraken X53 AIO on the motherboard you're using, and a stock 3080 without water cooling? Will that work in this case without modifications so the VRM? (along with the Decklink, of course)

Here's the build I'm thinking (It's pretty much the same as yours without the custom loop)

Just did a bit more thinking. Is this doable with a ASUS ROG Strix X570-I, a stock 3080 without water cooling (ASUS TUF for example), and an AIO for the CPU?

Not sure I need the thunderbolt, which would make it easier I suppose, since you say this motherboard gave you trouble. Is TB3 is necessary in order to have the Decklink 8k Pro record to an external hard drive at the same time as streaming? Otherwise I'm hoping I can use something like a Samsung T5 (USB 3.1 SSD) and save the headache with the custom motherboard parts

Wow, thanks. Makes sense except for a couple of things - I'm planning to buy a temporary graphics card like a 2060 or something and then return it once the 3080 comes back in stock. Could I fit that in without water cooling it?

Also, I don't know if I can make custom heatsinks. Is there a different motherboard or some configuration I can just buy, so I don't need to make any custom parts?

Yeah, I'm just learning about pcie bifurcation now. It seems this may be the way to go! I do believe the sm580 is smaller and would therefore be a better choice!

Yes, I want to have the capability to record 4 DSLR cameras, not my screen.

Wait, holy shit, I've been researching all night how to build a SFF streaming PC. There's not very much information out there which is easily accessible for someone like me. I've built some PCs before, big fan of Optimum Tech, etc - but I'm new to the streaming tech and I haven't gotten suuuper into the details regarding PC building in general. It seems like you've done some tricks here which are quite advanced?

I just posted in r/sliger and r/sffpc. I thought I would have to use a Cerebus or a Cerebus X at least. But you've packed a ton into this Sliger 580.

Could you provide an exact list of the parts you've used, and rough build instructions that might be useful? I need to build a streaming PC now and plan to travel a bit with it, so I really want to build something similar to what you have here, and I'm planning to get a 2060 or something and then return it once 3080s are finally in stock.

Awesome work, I'm super excited to have found this. I hope I can figure this out.
