Oh must have been under the MC warranty? I almost always end up picking one up, we've had to replace a few accessories like keyboards and headsets and they literally just give you a gift card for the amount you bought it for and you go buy a brand new one with it.

Finally, all the bits for maintenance / update of the 7950X3D / 4090 custom loop have arrived...now, I just need to find the spare time

yep, they value cost of parts v cost of machine, if it goes higher than 70% value, they don't fix.

 

needed a mainboard and a keyboard.

 

bonus, they let me keep the 1TB phison NVME out of the laptop

The government says I need this, which is a load of nonsense. I don't use the brakes anyway. That's for slowing down.

Definitely interested to see how you like the PTM7950.

I'd say, don't get too excited over the PTM7950. I used it on my waterblock and had 10c higher temps compared to Prolimatech PK-3 Nano that I swear by. So off went the PTM and back on went my PK-3.

 

Your mileage may vary but I hope it works for you Orion.

...I need to flush and update that CPU/GPU loop anyway; first put this loop together in early 2021 and with QD4s, just updated CPU and GPU / blocks without replacing fluids - fluids still look fairly good for 3 years +...just not sure yet if I will use the PTM7950 paste or pads on the CPU as well as the GPU

It was time to replenish my home office PSU reserves for units with 1200W and up (used the last one I had available in a recent work-related build). I checked the reviews on this TT and they are quite decent...and it was on sale for just under ~ US$ 200
