Looks like PC's are primed to make the evolutionary switch. The graphics card should mount to the case and the CPU is a card mounted on the graphics card.
I’ll admit I was a bit concerned it wouldn’t fit! They power cables are smushed against the glass. My next build will definitely be something a little more manageable.
Evolutionary switch back to the good old days of Slot 1 CPUs.
They're already starting to add SSD slots to some. Gotta find a use for those extra PCI lanes.

I built this as part of my Christmas present to myself last year. I cheaped out on my graphics card (6650xt) after splurging on a 4k 144hz Monitor. The 6650 did a great job for the most part but I had to use aggressive upscaling and dialed back alot of settings. I’m giving the card to my nephew today!
Why did you use cds instead of wood paneling?
Which CPU did you go for?
Ryzen 7950x and to be honest it’s complete overkill but it was a Black Friday deal and I couldn’t control myself at the time lol
That's a super sexy build! Tasteful use of lights
Thank you!
So I have the Sapphire Nitro+, and was wondering if you have monitored your temps on idle?
My temps creep up to 62C, then the fans kick on at about 30%, and cool it down to about 42C, rinse and repeat.
It's the oddest fan curve I have seen. Just wondering if yours act in a similar fashion, or if this is just how Sapphire programmed it. I have been waiting more than a month for a waterblock, and it looks to be a couple more weeks. I'll be happy when it comes in, because then the fan curves will be a non-issue.
I’ll have to monitor it while this week and get back to you. I have seen people say that the fan curves are aggressive. I don’t mess with the settings too much but would undervolting help?
I try to stay mostly on Linux, and voltage control hasn't been exposed yet. I may go to my Windows drive and play with it, and test the results.
The fan curves on mine aren't necessarily aggressive, I just wish they were more constant, at a low level. Still, if you remember when you do, I would love to know how your curves are, out of sheer curiosity.
Quick update for you. I let the Adrenaline software run a log for about 3 hours while essentially doing nothing. It fluxed between 62 and 58C the entire time. I haven’t gotten into any really hard core gaming tests but my son playing Minecraft and me playing Diablo IV never got it above 69c. I’m not even sure if I heard the fans.
I appreciate the update! Seems pretty similar to mine, so I'm guessing there a some similarities in the VBIOS. Thanks again!
Beautiful. Can I ask what those LED fans are?
All are Corsair but the vertical fans are the LL series I believe which have the LEDs around the fan and are brighter overall. Don’t ask to see the cable management in the back 🤣
Finally you can play Battlebit on ultra
I’ll take every advantage I can get
I saw someone mention that in my gaming Discord. Is it like a low poly PUBG that you can run on a toaster?
@jballs @misterundercoat it’s more like Battlefield with better gameplay, great team play and gunplay. Give it a try! Only $20 iirc
Sweet AV1 streaming. Least on YouTube.
Twitch can go F itself.
