why did you ditch the water cooling??

Mainly because it was a pain in the ass to maintain and change anything out. Also coming home from work one day to see a very slow leak straight onto the top of my gpu backplate was the final straw. I still have all the equipment sitting in my wardrobe I should probably sell it haha. All EKWB gear except for the pump/res combo. Previous platform was an i7 6700k which is also sitting next to me.

I agree

did have issues with a previous GPU on water that was painful to troubleshoot with water cooling

But I love the low temps I get which justifies the other hassles

also love the "look" of a nicely done water cooled system

Under normal circumstances its fine. Running a silent profile with the 3 ML120 rans it rarely exceeds 70c. Running full blown burner test on all 16 threads it can hit 90, so I am tempted to go back to a custom loop. 9900KS likes to run hot. 

 

Edit: the Evolv is better than the original version but the airflow is seriously lacking compared to my last case Corsair 750d airflow edition.

yeah, custom water loop is so cool (pun intended)

 

my Ryzen runs hot,  I see it hit 70° occasionally when gaming, idles at about 45°

cos sitting at home bored I sold a few things on gum-tree and have a few auctions going on in eBay

so with some of the proceeds I bought a small network rack just down the road from me 

I have been wanting to tidy up my small network "mess" for ages and now is the perfect timing 

 

didn't take a before pic but here's one from a couple of years ago

 

 

 

 

 

I had already ditched the home built server in favor of a small QNAP 2 bay NAS running Seagate Iron Wolf drives

This is my first go at the "tidy up"

I do want to buy a UPS so my NAS box doesn't keep throwing a hissy fit when it loses power, but man are they expensive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had to hide the incoming cables cos didn't have a hole saw to punch a hole in the top corner

anyways, happy with the new look

I ditched the Qnap and added a computer as a server. QNAP was to slow with 4K on PLEX

As much as I'd like to build a gaming pc again (Been 6 years, fuark that's ages) I genuily CBF and won't use it more than once a week/fortnight.

 

 

So what's a decent laptop under $3k?

No Macs, they're ghey. May use it for the odd shooting things game, not much else bar work sh*t that no one wants to do, emails etc. Who knows, maybe I'll become a mad car park tuna fish like @JETURBO
