Not gonna lie I was kinda scared when Jan started posting a countdown. Wasn't trying to see Django unchained Glad it's just your birthday Have a good day bro!

My body is a temple... It just happens to resemble one you might find in a Tomb Raider game

@damric Frame showed up today! Will be helpful when swapping between setups since my test bench is constantly a mess lol. It's conveniently the perfect size to toss on a rack shelf as well Thanks again!

I have one of those kits. I can grab the Thaiphoon Burner info if you're interested. When I bought the 7700X back in November it came with a 6000CL30 kit, but the 7900X I bought last month came with that 6000CL36 kit.

Good choices on block and PSU. I also have a few Optimus blocks. Good stuff. You could kill someone if you dropped one of their GPU blocks on them I think picking up the 7950X was a good move. If the X3D is a flop you're good to go. If it's amazing it could be sold out for months. IIRC B&H gives you a 30 day return window so you should be good either way.

Yes. Once setup their controllers will run off the stored settings indefinitely. I have one running my custom loop PS4 that hasn't been connected to the software since I set it up years ago.

Nice thing about their controllers vs crap like the EK loop connect is that the software doesn't need to be running all the time. Once you get it configured you could uninstall Aquasuite and monitor with another program if you really want to.

Love Aquacomputer controllers. Have at least 6 I can think of in use right now. All of them have been rock solid. I even extended the license for the older Aquaeros and they still work great with newer versions of Aquasuite.

Yea it's just a review sample that I have to return. Came with a shipping label to send it back. From the looks of the seals on the box, I wasn't even the first person to play with it.

Good job everybody! Glad we were able to slide past Reddit. I wonder if I ask really nicely if Zotac will let me keep the 4070ti for the 96 hour next month

Was always kind of interested in the MX-6. Don't see too many of them around. Shame they were FWD.

Pretty sweet setup you're working on. You could also add a DDC instead of another D5 since it'll have a bit more head pressure. You can mix and match pumps without any ill effects. I originally wanted to wait for the X3D, but the whole cache on one ccd faster clockspeed on the other kinda scared me off. Plus Microcenter dropped the prices on non 3D and still included free RAM kits so I picked up a 7700x and 7900X for now. I'll pick up a 9900X3D or whatever it's called in a few years.

Calm down, it's a bit early for XXXtremeHW

Lol why troubleshoot when you have an excuse to build a new rig The EFI partition of the Sim rig boot drive got screwed up but I was able to reformat and rebuild the partition... Of course I found this out after I pulled the drive out of the PC thinking it was dead. Which involved holding the waterblocked GPU out of the way while pulling the heatsink... Which is why I still use soft tube 90% of the time Back on the topic of the foldathon... I just got home and walked into the office to a sweltering 31c. I had both windows cracked open with a fan drawing air in but it ended up being warm out today. I went ahead and started hitting finish on all the rigs.

Yea it will be rough having to use one of the other half dozen custom loop PCs when I take it down to clean it What's wrong with yours?

My main rig with one of the 3090s shut down because the flow rate dropped below my aquasuite alarm threshold. CPU and GPU blocks look pretty gunked up. I changed the shutdown point since temps were still fine. (I have a separate emergency shutdown setup if the temps get out of hand). Played around on the racing sim a bit since it's one of the only rigs that isn't folding

I need to try out my ultrasonic today as well. Was waiting for a warm day because I hear they are annoying and was planning on just running it outside off an extension cord Edit* yea this thing makes a very unpleasant sound. Glad I didn't plop it on the kitchen counter

Really close scores between several people. Who's sandbagging and has another card they plan on pulling out to shake things up?

I should have taken more pics before I tossed it in there. The ITX board is comically small compared to these components. Here's a pic of it with my MSI 4070ti Red overlay is roughly the board size. The Zotac card is quite a bit larger than the MSI

The monstrous Zotac Amp Extreme Airo 4070ti was too large to just slip into my Plex server... Which is in a Maingear Shift (a reskinned Silverstone Raven RV01 so not a small case by any means). So I put the 7700X in the ITX board, put the Icegiant on, and put the whole setup on a shelf in the spare rack (with an appropriately sized cardboard box to keep the card from sagging right off the board. Got F@H running and noticed that I passed 1B (that's including old points for OCN)

Got home late but I'm getting rigs fired up now. Got a fair amount of firepower sitting on the test bench for a review that I need to work on this weekend. Might toss one in the Plex server to fold while I'm working on the review rig

I put a lot of effort into this so you better like it

I came here expecting dryer hose and duct tape...
