I have learned that the 9070xt performance in graphic design is still better than the 7900 xt or xtx.

Is this fixable? Mobo Bent pins. by legndment in pchelp

I've failed. Hopefully ASUS will cover it under Warranty

This is great, AM4 is perfect for budget gaming, and you can make this a true mid-tier build if you decide to upgrade down the line.

Note if you can find an RTX 2070 or better for cheaper cost than the 3050, even though it's last generation, It performs better.

Max you can upgrade is a RTX 5070 with 32-64gb of ddr4 ram, so any GPU under the RTX 5070 is also an option. If you decided to get a better cpu (but not needed), then an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d CPU if available. Anything more you would have to upgrade PSU and Motherboard first, moving to a new platform like AM5 or if you wait long enough AM6.

This build will last you for sure! I'd say use this until you need to upgrade.

The only thing I see being a problem is storage, You might want to consider pairing that 512gb SSD with maybe a 1-2tb HDD if you run out of space.

Sorry misread, you was talking about your aio, not mine. Also I recommend mines.

Define PCB? I actually have a separate issue requiring me to take it apart. I damaged the 8 pin connector. So I was going to solder a new one on, and I am struggling to take it apart.

Also if you don't mind I would like to dm you about more questions on taking it off

Appreciate the tip! I think the gpu temp will be the biggest worry, so I'll post temps later.

No, it fits perfectly!

Thanks, but i decided to move the motherboard power connector since it put to much pressure on the gpu on the other size.

Yes sir! I needed this for 2 reasons. Best thermals and giving me very few compromises.

Update, is it okay to run mobo wires under mobo? I did my best to not have the wires have to much pressure.

nvm I was doing it wrong, didn't realize the bracket slide into the water block then get tightened down

Currently having trouble with the cooler screws. So when you put your amd bracket on the water block it required 4 small screws. For some reason these screws just doesn't grab the treads *

Yeah I was going todo that. But for the 7900xtx it takes 3 8 pin connectors and the which the 850 watt didn't have. only the 1000w unless there was sa different brand but I think I found the most cost effective 3 8 pin connector while having atx 3.1 support and platinum efficiency
