Really nice work.

Makes me jealous, I've been waiting for my Alphacool block for my 7900XTX to be in stock for a while. One day soon....

I appreciate the update! Seems pretty similar to mine, so I'm guessing there a some similarities in the VBIOS. Thanks again!

I have all three cases (4000D, 5000D, 7000D), and offer a counterpoint.

They are very complicated cases, the 5000 and 7000 especially. But- they work for just about anything. No matter what style you want in your PC (solid colors, hidden cables, hidden drives, air cooled, water cooled, etc), these cases work. I agree there is excess, but it makes them work for a vast amount of users. Nothing like buying a case and realizing there is absolutely no way you can fit something in there.

I'll agree with you that first time setup is a bitch. But once you get it how you want it, it's fantastic. And I appreciate the extra parts, because (at least for me) builds change frequently, according to my needs and interests. I just found a smaller box, and keep all the extra components in it saved in case I need them later.

Either way you look at it, I hope you enjoy it, they are great cases.

First time I'm hearing about this, and hella excited. Loved the series, reading the books, definitely interested to see where this goes.

Always 3DMark. I love that program. So many uses.

I play in a party of four, most times. Two of us on KB/M, two on controller. No problems.

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.

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.

"Let me guess, someone stole your content?"

Yeah I thought about this after I posted. Guess I will just donate.

Still, would be cool if there was a way to have awards. But on the contrary, everything I have thought of so far could be abused, or end up just an annoyance.

Honestly, I'd be really happy with that. Be a good way to help pay for server/maintenance costs. I have no idea how it would be possible to make it work across instances.

Crucial generally makes great stuff. The BX series is low budget, but everything else I have used is awesome. I have two MX500 2TB, a 1TB version, and a P3. No complaints from any of it. I upgraded RAM in an older laptop, and it works perfect as well, and the price is nice.
