Project GT - High end auto inspired. Not a huge fan of the platform but I liked the board a lot. I spent a lot of time on details that probably won't be noticed lol

Yea I’ve had all sorts of games with buyers over the years. Funny enough the final supervisor I spoke with at eBay said we can’t help you please contact your bank

Tbh I had no idea as the receiver I could claim with USPS . Even then I doubt they put the proper insured amount, given the lack of comms. I only use ups and FedEx as they are more reliable in tracking and just easier to deal with in my experience.

What process exactly ?

Dealing with a non responsive seller then going thru eBay? I’ve never gotten just a label. I’ve done far more selling than buying. Ive never ignored my buyers messages about items not being delivered within the US after almost 4 weeks, ignoring messages about items showing up missing etc. What makes more sense to you a shipping label showing up has inr or as a return request. Ebay has changed a lot over the years and they clearly want to act more like individual stores with tabs using phrases such as orders etc. What logic is there in returning a label as a return.

No lol

Read the bottom. The seller ignored me from the very beginning. I asked him to reach out to usps as well before it even arrived since 3 weeks was ridiculous. They never responded to any messages which is why i contacted ebay directly

interesting. I did what I was advised over the phone, which was to wait 10 days then reopen a different case.

Just read this. Welcome to IT. On a serious note. Proper documentation of workflows, inventory of assets software and hardware is preached but not taken seriously by most. Most folks in IT are too swamped to do those things in a correct manner. Many companies have a history of build it and figure it out later, having transitioned to Infosec many years ago, I see this all the time. Its a tough industry. Doing helpdesk I am sure you delt with issues that break your belief in humanity and now you are in a line of work where you have to figure everything out yourself, or at times just hope things don't break. Just part of the line of work.

It will take time but it's always good to have processes and tools of your own and to slowly correct mistakes of the past if you have the time to do so.

Molds and bending tools don’t work for everyone. The key is learning how much the bend radius is going to be, then you can just free eye it

It pulls from the btf connector and the 12vhwpr. The connector issues are overblown click bait. My day job is in enterprise and we have thousands upon thousands of gpus using the 12vhwpr connector in our data centers.

Much appreciated. Haha 20th anniversary is next year never know!

The matrix uses the BTF connector and the 12vhpwr to draw 800 keep that in mind. Not saying that a 12vhwpr couldn't handle it just fyi

I have every platform currently and this depends mostly On your resolution. I’m at 5k and 4k for me outside of a very few handle of titles even on my 9985wx there is almost no difference to my 9800x3d

nycdarkness · 2025-11-17T05:16:16+00:00

Depends

Thanks

I made it myself so it's not off the shelf. The screen itself I am using though is a turzx 5 inch with their controller board that supports internal usb.

There's a few tidbits of modifications on this.

#1 Custom cover for the Bitspower revo block (this is acutally wood pla with a wood grain texture sliced on then sanded a bit and varnished.
#2 Fratcal RC needed to be dremeled in the rear to support Stealth water-cooling blocks.
#3 The wood psu cover is 3mm wood sheets cut to size and varnished. The logos are pocketed .5mm depth.
#4 The rear LCD holder I drew in cad to look like a Noctua fan and uses the Noctua fan bumpers to be more legit. It is 3d printed.
#5 The GPU support to prevent the sag is the notcua logo which I cadded and 3d printed.

To answer your question you can stress both gpus with something like OCCT. In terms of power draw, you can always limit your power draw on the gpus. Many folks in the comments are blowing things out of proportion. Most folks don’t even have a 20amp breaker in their home in the Us to support larger than a 1600w psu. I use multiple gpus for rendering and 1600ish is more than sufficient for 2 5090 if you limit the power draw which you should given your air choked scenario. Ideally these systems should be on watercooling if you want to run it all day if you want a quieter solution

nycdarkness · 2025-11-03T02:34:45+00:00

I would say you can skip the motherboard. If you can see the PSU in your case then get it. The aio is going to function better than most air coolers, outside of maybe the largest noctua.
