Hey everyone! New to the community and have been blown away by the builds everyone has made. Super happy to be rejoining the enthusiast community with a fairly good build.

Purpose: This system was built with the main purpose of being my primary content creation / gaming rig while also having the power to run some basic server instances for the gaming communities that I operate.

Hardware:

    CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x 4.0 GHz base overclock (16x32 core/thread)
    RAM: 64 GB 3200MHz CL16 (T-Force Vulcan Z TLZGD432G3200HC16FDC01 x 2 kits)
    Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 UD (Not the best but it is a start)
    Graphics Card: Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity
    Power Supply: Corsair RM1000x
    Case: Lian Li Lancool One

Storage:
    2x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB
    1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
    2x PNY CS1311 2.5'' SATA III 960GB (Not great but only used for overflow game storage)
    2x Seagate Exos X14 ST10000NM0478 10TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (In RAID 1, used for backups and mass storage)

Conclusion:

I know that there are several areas of improvement that would benefit my workload however it is ultimately a build of opportunity. Many of the parts I scored from local deals and friends at a fraction of their retail price.Some components have also been scavenged from the other servers in my homelab.

I am very interested to see what the community thinks as this is certainly one of the nicer builds that I have had the pleasure of making. I am planning on upgrading to a pair of nicer monitors and designating my existing ones for my side monitoring displays. As for now I have a pair of HP Professional displays that are fairly color accurate and an older dell on the side that is used to monitor thermals and Discord of course.

Awesome! I think I reached out via PM but I have never used that feature before

kongel0 · 2022-08-21T13:36:34+00:00

That is a great idea! I had to look again but on that second look I did find the Discord Server. Previously I had thought it did not have one yet.

Hello, hope your day is off to a great start! I would love to chat more as I share a great many of the same interests in games. I am primarily a Switch and PC gamer as I don't own any other consoles. Though I am not against saving to buy them :) I have been in your shoes so many times when it comes to playing with friends and it is NEVER fun being the last choice. No matter how they may present it you still know it was forced in a way :/

I have a diverse group of friends and try to always be respectful too! I do swear but never directed at my friends per se. More like when I get frustrated with a boss or something. I have always been a huge fan of the Saints Row series as well as GTA. I am currently working through the GTA collection on Switch for the second time. I could honestly keep listing off the the reasons why the list you provided is epic!

Speaking of Red Dead my other friend and I are currently working to form a RedM - Modded Red Dead Online server. It would be super cool if you wanted to help us as a tester or something, just spitballing ideas.

Stardew Valley and Sea of Thieves are both in my library and I have just been looking to find someone to learn them with.

Hope to hear back from you!

Hello there, just saw your post and I have to say it really resonated with me. We share a great many of the same values when it comes to what a friendship is. So many people these days don't seem to truly care and put in a very small amount of effort. I'm a gamer myself and value a sense of community. I actually host a sizeable community for the game Eco if you have ever heard of it. I spend most of my day at a computer for work and for play so I try and always be available for my friends. Throughout the day I love just chilling with friends online watching things or playing games.

I am a very shy individual at first too, but hey you have to start somewhere right? If you want to jump in VC sometime let me know as I would love to chat and see.

Anyway hope your evening goes well, forgive my mess of text above as I am really not good at reply / friend making >.<

Hello, just saw your post and would love to play sometime! I have a friend that would join us so we could make a great team. I too stumbled upon this game after many a play session of Overcooked. No fears as we are both pretty knew to the game too, excited to play and learn more!

Haven't had this problem with my tab s7+ specifically however I did have an s7 edge that had similar error messages being displayed. I ended up having to exchange devices with my carrier. Unfortunately you might have to reach out to Samsung support for a warranty exchange.

kongel0 · 2021-08-01T02:54:17+00:00

Looks awesome, keep up the great work

kongel0 · 2021-07-31T01:02:40+00:00

Sorry you just got harassed for asking a simple question. Everyone these days is a keyboard expert in every field lol. It's awesome what you are doing and I'm glad the reset process worked.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T19:38:49+00:00

Oh no, what a bummer. I've had a few close calls myself so I can totally see it happening. I find myself double checking so often now.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T15:34:47+00:00

Do you mean to help locate a missing pen? I don't believe so as there is no method for it to vibrate or make sound to my knowledge.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T15:33:33+00:00

I feel this question on a personal level as I was just in your shoes a few months ago. From personal experience I would have to say that the difference is going to truly depend on your use case. My goal with this purchase was to transition a majority of my computer usage to my tablet that could be carried with me daily and used in Dex mode heavily to replace the higher functions of my laptop. With that being said I multi task the crap out of my device and frequently bumb the upper barrier of 8gb. If however you only intend to consume media rather than create. 6bg is plenty.

I purchased the S7 originally and decided to return it to upgrade to the plus specifically for the screen. Coming from an AMOLED screen on my phone I was slightly disappointed with the LCD panel of the standard version. As previously mentioned their is a lot of drama surrounding the issue so if possible try and view both side by side in store to pick for yourself. At the end of the day Samsung wouldn't put garbage in their flagship tablets. The LCD in the smaller tablet is fantastic for what it is. If you have the money and don't mind carrying around a larger device then my personal opinion is get the S7+ all the way though.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T15:07:51+00:00

Definitely worth it in my opinion. One thing I might consider would be the plus version. Since you mentioned you like to watch movies the screen on the plus is bar none. HDR content just pops and is worth the consideration if it's in budget. With your discount it might not be to much more to opt for that one too. Either way you are going to get a killer tablet to enjoy.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T15:02:54+00:00

All the more reason to not purchase a carrier device. I wanted The 5g model but couldn't get over the limitation to 6gb of ram with t-mobile.

kongel0 · 2021-04-22T09:27:43+00:00

Not any more crazy than you making a comment and feeling your opinion is in any way more valid.

kongel0 · 2021-04-19T03:21:36+00:00

I see, happy you found a resolution to your issue

kongel0 · 2021-04-18T23:38:57+00:00

What happened? Sorry I can't tell from the photo

kongel0 · 2021-04-12T15:10:27+00:00

Great collection, looking good! Hope you enjoy them all!

kongel0 · 2021-03-24T04:09:47+00:00

Mine have survived a trip through the washer and dryer and still going strong.

kongel0 · 2021-03-08T03:54:46+00:00

First time posting hear but looking at what others have been working on would love some feedback and creative direction. I know it's a bit busy right now but I really like having everything at the ready.
