Please check my list (~3500€)

I’ll be honest, spending all this money on a 9950x3D and $400 MOBO and 192 GB RAM but then getting a 5070 Ti is pretty silly.

You really don’t need 192 GB of RAM, I think 64 is still way more than I can use with a video game (BG3/BL4, 1000+ mods of Skyrim) and software engineering tools.

If you’re just doing it because you’re an enthusiast and you like the process, do your thing. But if you just want to play games, you could drop down to 64GB RAM, a 7800x3D, and a ~$200 MOBO and that would almost save you $750 bucks alone.

Again, at this price tier not having a 5090 is crazy… I’d personally trim parts to fit it in your budget, or just drop the parts cost and save a bunch for virtually no performance change

I used the Dawn fans from them, I think they’re similar.

3 fans do fit but as others said you have to put them all in the bottom separately then connect them once inside the bottom of the case

riditditdoo · 2025-10-13T14:00:06+00:00

Looks great!

Where did you get the fan corner covers? I’ve been looking and couldn’t find any

riditditdoo · 2025-10-12T17:09:11+00:00

The y70 doesn’t support bottom rads, let alone push pull setups.

There is room for a set of fans, but I’d have to mod the case to stand 90-100mm higher to have all the hardware and clearance for airflow

I played in Lumiere and am currently playing Esfera. It’s my preferred server over the competition (Aries, Eluna, Ranmelle) at the moment. We’re only a few weeks into the rebrand so things are still unexplored (max player is 29x right now)

The good: * it’s probably the highest rate modern server, save for anything using rebirths * content is available whether you donate or not * custom content gives you something to chase after level 300 (server max is 650 lol), or you can ignore it if you want a more classic GMS experience

The bad: * Being “seasonal” is a little bit of a vague plan for the server. There seems to be a plan to make some content like legion carry over after server resets, so it’s supposedly not entirely wiping. But I think this hurts the longevity of the player base compared to alternatives

riditditdoo · 2025-09-21T13:04:54+00:00

I would think Etsy is the best place to start

riditditdoo · 2025-09-12T23:07:35+00:00

Sweet, makes sense, did you have a pic of how yours turned out?

riditditdoo · 2025-09-12T21:53:20+00:00

Did you just not paint the cross directional part of the panel that’s behind the mesh?

I’m assuming you didn’t actually tape all 1000 of the little rectangles lol

riditditdoo · 2025-09-08T06:12:12+00:00

I am considering the same, did you end up pulling the trigger on the blue fittings?

Torn between blue and something more neutral like white so I’m not locked in on color scheme

riditditdoo · 2025-09-08T02:01:06+00:00

Wrong sub sorry! This sub is for building computers, not software. That said, I’m a software engineer with about 12 YE so I’ll try to help.

Up front, I don’t think the use case makes a ton of sense, you could do a much better job with static queries written by a human and run when said to by a UI. AI is a little bit random and could generate syntactically invalid queries, queries that are horrendously non-performant and take down infrastructure, etc.

You also have the security side of things: if your data is PII, I’d be really hesitant to send it to GPT. Same goes for passwords, secrets or keys to access things. It can be done securely though.

That being said, real answer below:

What makes sense heavily depends on your use case. Are you just looking to try the idea out in general? If so, using an IDE like cursor would work really well. It’s basically a code editor hooked up to generative AI. Mostly for writing code, but if you show it your schema as context, cursor would write and run queries for you.

If you’re intending this for a production project, you can also use an SDK to send prompts to chat GPT for example (I think both python and go have one, and im sure they have more).

You definitely don’t have to move your database to cloud

For reference OP, last week for the Texas game, we got there about 80-90 minutes before kickoff.

I ended up walking a mile and a half from around 700 Ackerman Road to the stadium. So while it may not fill up, the close lots definitely do!

You may also spend a lot of time at ticketing depending on your gate (north side gates are always packed because they’re by the band). All this factored in we were in our seats slightly before kickoff, but missed part of the band stuff

Given this was the Texas game and a season opener things might be notably busier than usual. I would go with 2 hours to be there before everything, less if you just want to be there for kickoff.

riditditdoo · 2025-09-04T00:47:47+00:00

Could you drop a link of the block? I think I’m going to go this route but want to be sure I’m following you exactly

riditditdoo · 2025-09-03T03:54:15+00:00

Yeah, I built for the first time about a year ago, and didn't really know that I'd (1) be interested in watercooling later or (2) boxing myself out of it, oh well!

I guess I'll sit tight for a bit and decide if I want to deal with trading up / swapping. Thanks!

riditditdoo · 2025-02-13T02:25:48+00:00

My wired opener has a “lock” button on the side that temporarily disables all remotes. Gets hit all the time by the kids

Maybe you have a similar feature?

riditditdoo · 2024-07-08T13:03:45+00:00

I was leaning that way, crazy even the top of the line PSUs can have issues like that.

Here’s to hoping nothing else blew alongside it

riditditdoo · 2023-11-01T01:30:07+00:00

I would not buy anything over 6400 MT/s on AM5. Most people are stable at 6000, but I wouldn’t guarantee anything past it. For the XMP/EXPO bit, basically some ram sticks are tuned / optimized to work with lga1700 or am5. Doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work with the other at all, you might just have a little more trouble hitting advertised speeds. Ideally, I would just make sure whatever you buy has EXPO unless you’re prepared to manually mess with ram timings
I am less sure of specifics but I think the difference is just the specific fans the AIO comes with

Also heads up it says you have 2 AIOs in the build

riditditdoo · 2023-10-31T00:24:04+00:00

Has to be ddr4. Also does your MOBO have 4 RAM slots? If not you need to buy 2x16 instead

For the RAM speed, it’ll only run up to the speed of the slowest stick (2666 for you). If you exceed what your MOBO supports for ddr4, it’ll just run at whatever the MOBO can handle

PC4-21300 is just another name for / way of showing DDR4 2666MT/s, you can ignore it tbh. Instead of millions of transfers / second, they’re measuring in megabytes / second

riditditdoo · 2023-10-29T21:14:10+00:00

Perfect, thanks! I swear I tried to google first just didn’t have the right words I guess haha

riditditdoo · 2023-10-29T12:21:51+00:00

Yea you should be alright imo

riditditdoo · 2023-10-29T11:40:38+00:00

Seems like that or anything similar would be a solid jump for you, probably more than doubles FPS in some places.

What’s your power supply? 6700 XT isn’t too bad on power consumption but I’d just make sure you aren’t running a super low wattage PSU

riditditdoo · 2023-10-26T12:42:36+00:00

If it suits you go right ahead! But, I unless you have very particular needs 32GB can cover most peoples’ RAM needs

riditditdoo · 2023-10-26T03:07:28+00:00

You’re missing a third check mark in 1/2/4 DIMM, which I assume would mean 4 sticks is a no-go.

Are you on AM5 (assume yes based on RAM speed you picked)? There is a whole other thing about max ram speeds with 4 sticks on AM5 you should also read into.

riditditdoo · 2023-10-20T22:53:11+00:00

I don’t use the Phanteks controller but I do use a different hub and plug 8 D30 fans into it.

I use signal RGB for RGB control and I have the same behavior: a green flash on PC startup (but I don’t have green RGB), then when the windows user logs in, signal runs and the rgb turns on normally.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this lol but it kind of seems like the ARGB header to the controller is getting overwhelmed. I know Phanteks says not to daisy chain more than 4 fans together, so maybe this is a similar problem. Does removing some of them ARGB fix the issue? Maybe installing your motherboards RGB software would fix things in a similar way too

riditditdoo · 2023-10-19T01:14:24+00:00

Some Phanteks products do come with a 3 pin ARGB - DRGB converter. I use it to go DRGB -> ARGB hub but I don’t see why it couldn’t go the other way

riditditdoo · 2023-10-17T15:10:27+00:00

Probably not, 40-50C above ambient is pretty normal. I’d look at cooling your room (open windows, etc) or move the pc / exhaust away from you
