FPN taking over this thread!

Where did you grow up in Europe if I might ask? It is kinda funny indeed. "Unbekannt" is the same as the Dutch "onbekend" which translates to "unknown". But it feels like they mean that they don't have a clue if it will ever be in stock again. I spend a lot of my time in Germany for work, and I like to be there. The language shows a lot of resemblance with our language, making it easy but complicated at the same time. There are words which are spelled and pronounced exactly the same but have a different meaning.

Good to hear about the M40's! It's the same over here with the PSU's, I should have bought a big one a few months ago instead of waiting.

"the most dedicated system", not after selling the board and CPU

I don't have an expert opinion on the subject, but if you don't like spending money on something that you might not feel performance wise than I would keep the money in my pocket for something that does make a significant difference. On the other hand, $100 is not too expensive and you could sell your B350 for whatever they go for.

I wonder what UV will do to that color, I hope it'll be more pink And it needs more light for sure, I love the effect from that intake fan through the side window!

@BWG told me, it was new to me too.

Like this: That will use the passkey just for that single slot you selected, and the other slots will fold under the passkey that's under the identity tab.

The 2080ti is online too. I think that would be my best bet for the TC as a 24/7 headless dedicated system

It's an interesting "case" choice. I like the movable aspect and the ability to expand it in every direction (as there are no limits)! With 2 x45 rads and push/pull fans even a big case will look small. With a setup like that good airflow is required for 700W of hardware to maintain good temperatures.

*knocks on wood* I can't remember the last time we've had a power outage, when it happens it's because of maintenance or someone hitting a line while digging.

The Meshify S2 system is online again. Temps are good and it is quiet enough to return to the bedroom I think I sold the wrong board, this one has no RGB headers so I can't use both the blocks and the pump leds.

A little makeover on the Meshify S2 system, so I had to redo everything. This is about the best I can do without hiding cables with this case. SSD and fancontroller are behind the brackets on the left, the only thing that's missing here are the cables for the front panel, they are in the middle empty bracket now.

But it's real name starts with an A, so does that mean it's the α and Ω or the "a to the z"?

Is there a story why you picked that one? Also, I love the radioactive section! I keep asking myself the same question every time I look at one of your pictures: "what do I like the most?". It's hard to answer, but I think I the knife switch is number 1. As I mentioned before, spending many hours in engine rooms I get to see a lot of switchboards and stuff like that. I should get something like that to turn on the light, will brighten up my day

It might be me, but I hate to see anything over 60°C (I always set the max fan speed at 60°C). The core temp on the RX 5700XT Mech OC is fine, but the hot spot is over 90°C if it's running at 105% power limit, that is somewhere around 210W if I'm not mistaken. If I run it with a power limit of 85% the temps are way better and I don't need earplugs, but still too much for a "bedroom system". If you google the Mech OC you will find a lot of hate and complaints about the quality of that card, a shame I had to choose it but I'll have to live with it until I sell it. Even water cooled the temps are higher than I expected them to be, but around 50°C is not too bad. I don't remember what the memory temps were, and I never tried to mine on them which they seem to be good at (son of a tech runs 60? of them for eth). With F@H they were never high enough for me to remember the memory temps.

Shipping from DE to NL is great, some orders show up in 48 hours or less after receiving the shipping confirmation! Sadly Caseking is also OOS, or better said in one of my favorite languages: "die Lieferzeit ist unbekannt". I'll keep an eye on them anyways, same as the Dutch webshops to see which one has stock first. There is no rush for now, once I find some time I'll have to fab up some brackets for the fans and radiator and figure out a more solid way to mount the monitor. After doing some modifications on the PCI-e mounting profile I lost a bit of strength in the monitor mount, for now I support it with an extra profile and some cable ties but that's not a good looking solution. I might have to weld an extra bracket or something.

Those cards run pretty hot anyways, every bit of colder air is a bonus! I'd like to get my waterblock back on my 5700xt anyways, the fans are driving me crazy. One of the reasons I'm rebuilding the Meshify S2 system so I can install the 2080ti in it, use water cooling and lower fan speeds to keep the noise down. That system is in my bedroom, so being quiet is a bonus

That is really cool, so much to look at and going on there! But I've got to agree with @Sir Beregond that it would be a bit too much for my "office". If you had to pick one thing you like the most on that wall, what would it be? If it works and doesn't overheat.. I do like spending a lot of time building something that looks good, but it does get out of control sometimes spending hours on something that doesn't improve temps or function. As long as the cables are not blocking any airflow and can't touch the fans it's not a big deal. I like what you did with those cables out the side, I used to have a system on a shelf above me and it was hard to reach the power button and usb ports so I did the same

And I thought the 475W on my cards was a lot.. I do know that it's not a good idea to try an unlocked bios without water, might make the board a bit crispy At least you have enough PSU's to choose the right one for the build.

You gave it a try, sucks that it's not even enough to test one card..

A lot of cool hardware, would be a shame if it wouldn't be used for F@H It's looking good, subbed!

Thanks, it'll get the black and white sleeved cables too and a few RGB ML140's. I think a dimmed red or orange/copper light will look good with the hardware. Looking back at the picture I totally understand the confusion, it was a bit hard to capture the real color on camera. The tubes are all red inside, and so is the reservoir and every fitting. Took me about 2 hours to clean the block with a toothbrush.
