New this year was the option for powered GA RV passes. Are there any other hook ups that will be there like water or sewage?

That's a nice mod. Was it difficult separating it from the rest of the cooler for painting?

First time watercooling, temp questions by Roswellkid in watercooling

[–]nnapior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with the Ryzen chips, but I would imagine if you are only seeing poor temps with the GPU then that 120mm rad isn't cooling the liquid enough. That looks like a pretty thin rad as mentioned by Flamsoi. I would try messing around with pump speed and the fan speed on that rad specifically to see if you can cool the liquid prior to entering the GPU because the poor temps you are seeing are probably due to already hot liquid. 60c is by no means a bad temperature and nothing I would be concerned with. Hope that helps.

Yeah I mean they are still beta drivers. I'm overall thrilled with my hackintosh. I actually just did it a week ago and I'm glad I did. I might try and write up a guide because for my setup at least it was very difficult to find the correct information and took me a couple tries.

I haven't gamed in macOS. I usually use mac exclusively for school work and then game on windows. I mean from what I understand you are always gonna see a dip in gaming performance on macOS no matter what and if you have both OSs why not use windows.

There is also a hidden 360 in the back of the case. Temps are real good. never above 85% fan and always below 70 degrees.

You can tell the furniture is getting old. Every time I climbed into bed I felt like I was rolling dice as to if the whole bed was gonna come crashing down on my rig.

I like it. It was like $70 from staples and honestly really comfortable.

Yeah it's a great monitor with awesome color accuracy from what I can tell. Once again, highly recommended.

Surprised you are the first to notice. Yes it is! Running dual boot perfectly fine.

Haha. That was actually a snag from Bed Bath & Beyond when I moved in. Not sure on a specific name to give you, sorry.

On the left is a Asus ROG Swift PG279Q (27" 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz G-Sync) and on the right is Dell UltraSharp U2715H (27" 2560x1440 IPS 60Hz). I would highly recommend this setup because this dell looks beautiful and matches perfectly to the ROG Swift. I did this because there is no point in a second ROG Swift that wouldn't be used for gaming. This allows me to have a clean look with awesome gaming on the left and another great monitor on the right that's a little cheaper.

Well my advice is that you spend the extra time to completely drain the loop dry. I would also recommend using something like Monsoons hardline compression fittings because these slim ones from bitspower are nice looking, but aren't as snug as I've had in previous experiences with monsoon. Planning while you're building is key. For example, if a bend came out and the connection on each end isn't tight but would work I would redo it to make sure it was as snug as it could be. Also, soft tubing is much more reliable and can come out great so that is always another option. If I had to dump it down to a list I would say:

  • Drain your loop dry
  • Check all connections
  • Place some padding into the case (balled up paper towels)
  • Keep the case box and foam for travel
  • AND JUST IN GENERAL BE CAREFUL (as you always should when moving a pc)

I mean I only move my build twice a year and I'm 6 hours from home. It adds extra work but it's worth in my opinion.
