I got a screen protector for my new phone, no more ugly scratches!

3rd 4TB Iron Wolf + 14 TB EXOS + MPOW thing to turn wired headphones into wireless that supposedly is good but was only $14.

Back home after an unplanned for two week stay-away, and now I can start testing my new do everything home server.

is server envy a thing? Google just asks me if I mean severe.

Not sure the radioactivity will make it go faster, jump higher, but they showed up (in different packages):

 

 

Got some other stuff in the pipeline as well that I'll mention later, but what I need most right now is a four foot square piece of plywood. Might have to make a trip to Lowe's tomorrow.

I just bought watch dogs legion, and a 1tb nvme drive rated for 3400mb/s for $120. Nvme drives are so cheap right now, wasn't planning to get one but it's a good time to buy them.

That's half what I paid for my 512GB NVMe drive in 2017.

Yea, price going down for SSDs in general plus memory being really cheap right now.. could see prices actually being higher 6 months from now.

1700X , thought it was IMC dead for a year, but seems to be just bugged out PSP firmware (needs to take back #1 on memory OC Latency)
tested it on 2 boards, but it looked IMC dead
Although revived itself on an X570 Board

2nd is a 1200AF , bought it brand new, in the chance of getting a PC back working ~ but somehow 2 of my boards where the issue and not really the 1700X

And this is 4th gen now
I need to get a Board for it ~ see how memoryOC behaves beyond 2100Mhz Fabric and then lapp it again

I'm curious about the factory solder stamp / pattern of this one
Both TSMC 14nm and GLFO 12nm had quite unique soldering stamps and pressure points
I want to see how it improved ~ well and also to fix that ryzens usually are convex

I still need a CPU, another memory kit so I have 64GB and assorted watercooling parts.

 

 

 

Oh wait....this is actually the last thing I bought.  The gear came yesterday.

I'm stocking up.  I have 4 packs of these now.  If a lockdown happens, I'm ready this time.  I'll buy another one this weekend.

Corsair RM850x. The most stable one of the series. Should be enough for what I'm building, likely even overkill.
