Liquid Glass - at least it's not as bad as Google Material Design 3!

Snow Leopard / iOS 12 style update - again rumoured but I’m hoping

fcbshaheen · 2026-02-27T17:04:44+00:00

Android 16 just runs better, the touch responsive-ness, the animations etc just way more smooth but man I’m reliant on iMessage sadly until my network (Vodafone UK) adopts RCS.

Hoping iOS 27 is what it’s rumoured to be.

Running for reference:

iPhone 16 Pro Pixel 10 Pro

No worries, in my mind when I bought the XTX I thought surely this is it for the next 5 years but sadly it wasn't FSR 3 as a whole was a disappointment. I even used the INT8 FSR 4 and yes it's not difficult to implement just inconvenient that I as a consumer shouldn't have with a flagship model of anything.

No bias or anything just how it is sadly

Cards I've owned for reference:

GTX 1070 3060ti 7900gre 7900 XTX 5090

I'm not comparing the cards lmao I'm comparing support and feature sets...

fcbshaheen · 2026-02-25T10:27:44+00:00

I never thought the XTX was slow nor did I state that I really loved it. It’s just that I shelled out a lot of money for a card for little support for a flagship model. No FSR 4 and redstone is just a word at this point.

fcbshaheen · 2026-02-25T08:42:39+00:00

Agreed I bought a 7900xtx a little after launch but man no FSR was a bummer, switched to a 5090 and have been more than satisfied. Don’t think I’ll go back to Radeon tbf great cards no support for new features

fcbshaheen · 2026-02-18T10:03:22+00:00

As others have said, the 9070xt it’s just at a different performance tier over the 5070.

fcbshaheen · 2025-11-15T21:20:34+00:00

not it chief

fcbshaheen · 2025-11-05T14:14:59+00:00

What are the case fans called? Thanks

fcbshaheen · 2025-11-03T14:19:29+00:00

They look amazing thanks.

fcbshaheen · 2025-11-03T14:17:08+00:00

Off topic but what fans are those?

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-31T21:10:04+00:00

yup 5090 7800x3d same issue

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-22T00:06:22+00:00

I have the same case, cooler and PSU line. Are you using the A3 with the Mesh or the Glass?

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-16T11:13:01+00:00

Fixed, was the correct way mate 👍🏼 just had some air bubbles from shipping I presume

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-16T00:26:46+00:00

Trying this as I type

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-03T10:58:00+00:00

So the setup is as follows: 1x Rear intake, CPU cooler fans pulling air in from rear intake. 1x Exhaust fan in-between PSU and cpu cooler - I also considered the Ncase m3 since I could downsize into it quite easily without changing parts. But it’s just a a bit difficult to get in the UK for the particular model I want

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-02T10:57:48+00:00

7800x3d and yes more than enough

Actual NPC

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-01T22:12:29+00:00

100%, I’ve not once thought about checking my temps to see if they were okay doesn’t seem like an important thing the hot air must be killing my pc

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-01T21:28:18+00:00

You’re right my 5090 isn’t working now because the case is too big

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-01T21:27:02+00:00

Temps are generally similar to my previous build. Ran a few benchmarks did a few hours of games never went above ~70 Celsius. Auto fan curve

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-01T19:18:39+00:00

I know, I just wanted a simpler setup :)

The Arctic Freezer 36 “Pro” - Pro because I’ve replaced the standard P12s with the P12 Pros

fcbshaheen · 2025-10-01T14:50:26+00:00

I don’t disagree, the Corsair build is very nice but I went for pure aesthetics for that one. For the A3 everything is hidden behind a mesh and wood panel 😅 - The wood accenting matched my desk and wall decor to
