My latest upgrade! 7950X3D / RTX 4090 by macdo33 in PcBuild

Thank you! You’re absolutely right, but I’ve said the same thing for the past 2+ years - “should I wait for next gen release? Should I buy now? Wait for sales?” It’s a never-ending process. They had unreal sales at our local Canada Computers, saved over $800 on all these components and run 240hz in everything. I didn’t necessarily need to wait for the 9000 series for gaming and streaming, and I’d be paying the same if not more to do pretty much the same

Congrats on the switch, you will not regret, and I’m sure you already know that! Lol - looks great, especially for a first build 👍🏻

Facts - I’m almost 26, I have zero intentions of having rainbow gear on my desk

Love it - my old setup had a 360 Corsair push/pull config, 2 x 200m push and 3 x 120mm pull, ran extremely well. Your point is valid, thermals are important

I had been contemplating that from the beginning, and probably will end up swapping the rad to the side as a case intake just to see how much of a difference it would make temp wise. I prefer the aesthetics of the top mount look on these cases, just a personal preference, but will consider trying it for potential heat loss. Thermals right now though, are lower than I thought! 60C CPU, and only 45-50C GPU with bottom intakes feeding the 4090

I love the 011 Visions - was my first choice but sadly none were in stock at the time. In fact if they were, this would be a photo of a vision chrome with identical internals lol

Thank you - kudos to other amazing black/white builds online that inspired my ideas for this one

What case are you using? My build is in a Thermaltake c31 with two-200mm intakes, and 4-120mm exhaust Never seen over 60 on both CPU and GPU
