Any PC Builders Out There?

No more I7 6700k with a GTX 1080 TI



Yes, I will run separate 8-pin cables from the PSU once I buy cable extensions to run from each port on my PSU.

 

I ended up ordering Corsair sleeved cables instead of the stock ones since I have the same massive pigtails on mine.

 

Manufacturers already provide too many extra cables, why not make it simple and offer 8-pin only and 6-pin only variants right?

 

Mine doesn't show jitter



Upload is slow too; guess I won't be running my #onlyfans at 4k...

 

@aggietaco

Your PC done?

I know you and I were both upgrading PC's at the same time.

 

I have my gpu installed and waiting on pricing/availability for my cpu. It’s like having glasses for the first time with a nice gpu. I’ll snap a pic in a bit. Gaming temps generally in the 50s and idle mid/low 20s. Should look way better with the new cables when I get them.

 

Man that card looks beast!

 

I honestly didn’t think it’d fit, but it does and it’s been fantastic.

 

I bet; your card's larger than mine.

I thought about going vertical mainly to hide the cabling (I can route from below like you, or above near the 24-pin) but for now I'll try out the extenders I just ordered.

 

Yeah I plan on routing them behind and then through the cutout below the 24 pin. I also have to remove the hard drive cage to give some extra room for cables. My temps actually improved when I moved my first card to vertical. It’s not close to the glass at all and the 2 140mm intake fans get it plenty of airflow.

 

I've been using the antec ones and nothing has caught fire

You mean my TW avatar?

That's on the GPU; no HDD here!

 

It's a 3070 Aorus Master, so it's got a customizable, color LCD screen on the side of it.

Just a card I'll run for a bit until I finish this project for the 3080 my neighbor's got waiting for me.

 

Inside the shop cutting and welding only for my cables to finally arrive

 

Any recommendations for a 24-30" monitor that's either 2K or 4K, possibly higher refresh rate but I would rather have accurate colors for photo/video editing as I have 2 other monitors that are high refresh rate.
It'll be my main monitor and I'll pretty much use it for web, MSFS, Blender, and photo/video editing.

I'm hoping to catch one on sale for black friday.

 

And she's done, for now



Allowed me to run two separate 8-pin connectors from the PSU

 

That looks so much better than those Corsair pigtails

 

Yeah I hate them; completely kills the clean look most of us are trying to achieve.
