nice work @Mr. Fox If I can find the template I will update but that's not guarantied.

upgrades

(its a perfect replica of the real thing)

Id like to see what you can do with a 775 build...

I could see if you were hitting 6.3-6.4GHz ES OC that might be a possibility, but IMO not worth it. Your performance/benchmark results will not see enough of a substantial difference to justify the buy. These processors are nearly maxed out from the factory. If If you have cash to throw down go with something unique (at least that's what I would do lol)

Simply cannot have a laptop without the touchpoint option. Yes, it's slightly dated in terms of hardware, but still sufficient for my needs, and this Xeon is nearly identical in performance to Intel's flagship, the 4C/8T 6920HQ CPU Specs GPU Seriously considering one of these as well since the 6920hq has a partially unlocked multiplier. Plus, this laptop also meets my criterium requirements due to TrackPoint and M2000M GPU. Can be had for ~$300 for a decent machine... (dell precision 7510)

At the time, I had been eagerly awaiting AMDs newest GPU release (for some reason I'm just not and never have been an Nvidia fan), so when the "RX 5700 XT" was finally revealed, I guess it just left an indelible impression on me. Basically, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. So 2.5 years later I still keep it for nostalgic reasons. I can also still play most new games above 110FPS with ultra or high selected. So by no means am I missing out, it's a great gaming experience.

Pulled the trigger on my favorite GPU

same here. Why not stand out from the crowd, you know

LOL lighten up there buddy. I hope you take it more as comic relief going forwards, because that was my primary intent when posting. I mean for Christ's sake I posted a comparison between a trapezoidal shaped PC and a rug doctor lol. How serious do you think I really am?

Obviously, there are other factors including current and temperature in addition to voltage that factor in, and generally speaking if two are under control he should be alright. And they were fine, so he's just paranoid or something... Interested to know what makes you think Sandy, Ivy and haswell degrade easier than other chips?

Interesting. Just today, I stumbled across an old 386 server while searching for a different tech topic altogether. Looks very similar to what you posted above...

Hey thanks for the compliment! Not really much of a follower, so yeah, I did something a little different. in point of fact I put a lot of time effort and energy into making nearly 1000mm of radiator work in a case never designed for anything larger than a 120mm fan. lol

But it was a tribute to my father because it was the last computer (using the same case) we both put together, years prior. So I went hunting around the interwebs to find literally ONE coolermaster case remaining in stock in an effort to replicate the original build.

Guys this was supposed to be joke. Not sure what went wrong here but over at OCN people are finding it rather hilarious. Please don't think I'm targeting anyone here. I'm not going to go on a rampage! Actually, I take that back, might just go on a rampage after all. When I was on TPU they were always knocking my 9600KF rig due to my case selection.

Can someone help me explain to this guy what the deal is here? He thinks because he overclocked ALL of THREE cores to 6.1GHz @ 1.45v that after a BSOD he had to pump more voltage to the CPU to get it to be stable, therefore in his mind, degradation is the only reasonable cause. I told him that his first OC was probably to blame, and then he said it happened before this as well... and I told him it was most likely BOTH of his OCs were wrong and unstable and he was just finding the limits of the CPU and was miss interpreting the facts. But for some reason he is'nt seeing this clearly. Any documentation or advice here would be appreciated so the guy isn't going around spreading miss-information about the so called "fragility" of Intel 13th gen CPUs. For example, what is your take on this chart?

LMAO so true

Yeah, and I will be the first to admit there are plenty of people that have been at odds with me over my case selections over the years. Bottom line, if you are happy with it, that's all that really matters at the end of the day. TBH the case industry, if you can call it that, has come a long way since just 10 years ago. For a long time is was basically function over form, and now, each individual / builder has literally thousands of selections on tap to choose from to make it their own. Sadly this case is no longer available, otherwise I would be using it with my next build.

Did u see I just picked up a 5700 XT gaming x 8gb

Yeah, you are correct they are elcheapo stock from overseas, I'm certain of that. Thanks for posting the pics, I definitely like the last two.

Very funny, I almost LOLd No, next build will be white. Very under-rated, but I actually prefer white to pretty much every other color, but please don't think I'm racist! Memory I will be using will be TeamGroup, similar to this: memory: Case: The cooling system will be upgraded, one 120mm radiator isn't going to cut it. Pretty cool it comes stock with liquid cooling though. EDIT: @J7SC_Orion I'm not knocking your case design or systems either. You have quite the unique setup with two computers integrated in one design, I like that, its innovative, rare and aesthetically, very pleasing. and plus u know I like the blue light as well.

And they are, this I agree with (that they are sensible in most cases, forgive the pun). Perhaps I am just stuck in the past, but I prefer the "classic" era of cases for some reason. that's why I am ranting, it's just my opinion and like you said, it's very subjective. So I don't hold anything against people who like them, just that I don't like them.

I knew it was bad when RGB hit the market. then the 50lb glass paneling showed up. THEN andre the giant cases started appearing... ones that you need a forklift to move for you... But when they start resembling a rug doctor that's been decked out by what appears to be a 4 year old you have to wonder... have modern computer cases finally damned themselves to computer hell with no chance for redemption?
