Looks like PC's are primed to make the evolutionary switch. The graphics card should mount to the case and the CPU is a card mounted on the graphics card.

I’ll admit I was a bit concerned it wouldn’t fit! They power cables are smushed against the glass. My next build will definitely be something a little more manageable.
They're already starting to add SSD slots to some. Gotta find a use for those extra PCI lanes.

I built this as part of my Christmas present to myself last year. I cheaped out on my graphics card (6650xt) after splurging on a 4k 144hz Monitor. The 6650 did a great job for the most part but I had to use aggressive upscaling and dialed back alot of settings. I’m giving the card to my nephew today!
Why did you use cds instead of wood paneling?
That's a super sexy build! Tasteful use of lights
Thank you!
Which CPU did you go for?
Ryzen 7950x and to be honest it’s complete overkill but it was a Black Friday deal and I couldn’t control myself at the time lol
So I have the Sapphire Nitro+, and was wondering if you have monitored your temps on idle?
My temps creep up to 62C, then the fans kick on at about 30%, and cool it down to about 42C, rinse and repeat.
It's the oddest fan curve I have seen. Just wondering if yours act in a similar fashion, or if this is just how Sapphire programmed it. I have been waiting more than a month for a waterblock, and it looks to be a couple more weeks. I'll be happy when it comes in, because then the fan curves will be a non-issue.
I’ll have to monitor it while this week and get back to you. I have seen people say that the fan curves are aggressive. I don’t mess with the settings too much but would undervolting help?
I try to stay mostly on Linux, and voltage control hasn't been exposed yet. I may go to my Windows drive and play with it, and test the results.
The fan curves on mine aren't necessarily aggressive, I just wish they were more constant, at a low level. Still, if you remember when you do, I would love to know how your curves are, out of sheer curiosity.
Quick update for you. I let the Adrenaline software run a log for about 3 hours while essentially doing nothing. It fluxed between 62 and 58C the entire time. I haven’t gotten into any really hard core gaming tests but my son playing Minecraft and me playing Diablo IV never got it above 69c. I’m not even sure if I heard the fans.
I appreciate the update! Seems pretty similar to mine, so I'm guessing there a some similarities in the VBIOS. Thanks again!
Beautiful. Can I ask what those LED fans are?
All are Corsair but the vertical fans are the LL series I believe which have the LEDs around the fan and are brighter overall. Don’t ask to see the cable management in the back 🤣
Finally you can play Battlebit on ultra
I saw someone mention that in my gaming Discord. Is it like a low poly PUBG that you can run on a toaster?
@jballs @misterundercoat it’s more like Battlefield with better gameplay, great team play and gunplay. Give it a try! Only $20 iirc
I’ll take every advantage I can get
Sweet AV1 streaming. Least on YouTube.
Twitch can go F itself.
