Just built myself a new pc recently :D

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 3900X
Asus Pro WS X570-ACE
Nvidia Quadro RTX4000
Corsair 750D case
Noctua Chromax fans

Things has changed quite a bit poi from when I built my last pc 4-5yrs ago. AMD wasn't really a choice back then, Quadro costed much more to get reasonable performance, AND Noctua didn't come in full black...
Cons are that many things come in RGB nowadays, and tempered glass too

Yeah cable management :p


Also finally went to try the Sennheiser HE1, was listening music from my memory card via unbalanced lineout of an AK SP1000M (not mine).
Overall it sounded pretty nice with great resolution and without any glaring flaws. I did felt the setup was kinda lacking in speed and dynamics compared to what I am used to nowadays though. As such, slow paced music sounded more satisfying.

*Chromax :wink:

Sweet build! Hope it serves you well.

BTW, what cooler is that?

...and tempered glass too

Yeah. I feel this one. I really just want a simple, clean box that also has the functions I need.

Even Fractal Design's cases can't escape this. Some of their cases that come with black PCI brackets (instead of white) only come with a see-through side panel. One happens to be the case I'm interested in.

I'm gonna hold off on upgrading my platform for a while. For the stuff I do (relies heavily on 4 very strong cores) there just hasn't been enough improvements to warrant an upgrade.

When I do though, I might just migrate everything I have into a new setup and use my old build as a home theater PC.[/QUOTE]

Yeah so far so good, its more powerful yet uses less power than the Xeon 1650v3 machine it replaced :D

The CPU cooler? Its a Noctua U12S, I replaced the bundled fan with a Chromax equivalent.

Speaking of Fractal Design, I kinda like the Meshify's appearance. But then it seems like you'll need to take apart the thing to clean the front dust filter orz

Also I don't feel quite comfortable of having harddisk cages at right/rear side of the case with little space for cable routing and airflow, which seems to be common in recent mid towers or below. I do understand the need to cater for long GPUs nowadays though.

Gahh had an SSD die, back up your data folks!

Was just on the garage laptop so nothing important lost. RIP 2 year old SK hynix SL308 120GB
If you have two backups, you have one backup. If you have one backup, you have no backups.



Looks scary

Not bad. Ambient was 21 degrees Celsius.

--------------

Keyshot's GPU update just came! Looking forward to it in terms of performance, as well as all the other RTX integration by various programs.

Nvidia allowing 30 bit colour on their consumer cards is also awesome. :D

Speaking of GPU upgrades, I needed something to play Atelier Ryza (totally not for the thighs).

I was using an old crappy quadro from 2012 because all I needed it for was WoW classic (I moved all the decent hardware to the garage for LANs), so I picked up an RX 580 8GB for like USD 30, hows that for performance per dollar. XD

Ugghhhh I forgot that AMD cards chug something insane like 30W just for having a multi monitor setup. You could fly to the moon with 30W.

580 for 30 bucks?!

:O

Yeah, they are quite power inefficient still. The older 200/300 series draws so much power. My R9 390 can draw well over 400w despite having half the performance of my current 2070s. It's getting cold here and I'm not used to my room being this chilly. It was always faster to warm myself up by running a game in the background since I'm right next to the computer. My room doesn't warm up enough after my GPU upgrade. ;-;
