Alright, please forgive the silence here. This past weekend was my baby sisters wedding shower, and I was volunteered to help entertain the men while the women did their thing. After that I was sick as a dog. So not much progress. But, I was hell bent on making at least a little bit of...

If argue it is hit or miss. There are still some great titles being made, but they are the minority, for sure... ....and usually they launch in a hopelessly broken state.

Alright, the second path has been working out how to mount the reservoirs and pumps to the sides of the radiators. After initially deciding to make my own bracket, and then later changing my mind and ordering Watercool's reservoir brackets, I am now back to making my own, because of the issue I...

So, progress has been a little bit slow lately, in part because I have been working on two parallel paths, and both have hit obstacles. First we have the Molex fan connector terminal issue. I finally received the terminals I ordered above. Sadly they were not exactly what I was looking...

It's like printing money... ...yet they have to keep raising game prices because they are not making enough money. It's all a sham man. Brand new games should be $30. Anything older than 3 years old should be under $10. Anything older than 5 years old should be under $5. And this is...

Oh boy. I bet this one won't be controversial at all given the current political climate. The U.S. represented twice in three Far Cry installments. Interesting. I hope they do away with the online bullshit and forced 3rd person crap from Far Cry 6.

I know nothing about this game, but I once saw it google translated from Chinese (as part of some GPU rumor) as "Black Monkey", and I enjoyed that :p

This reminds me of the strippers I keep in my basement.

After seemingly forever, googling, going in circles, I finally found a part number reference to the exact Molex part number for the loose terminals for these connectors, it is 0855102*. Digikey did not have them in stock, but Mouser did*! I got $200 of them for $20. That should give me...

The unintended search results for any search including the terms "female" and 'loose" are quite amusing...

Reddit suggests this is the answer. That I should have bought "loose terminal" parts. I'm going to have to search around for those.

Maybe I need something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VGK8GBL/?tag=thefpsreview-20

I could use a little bit more crimping advice, if anyone has any. @Endgame , @Grimlakin, @Brian_B ? Anyone work with these before? First off, bear with me, it's tough to take pictures of these tiny things (at least without breaking out the DSLR with the macro-lens, which I don't feel like...

While I agree, I don't think anyone suggested the regular 9070xt would have 32GB of VRAM. The way I read the rumor is that there will potentially be versions of it that have 32GB, probably just by doubling the size of the individual RAM chips on a special version, suggesting that the regular...

...but in reality it is only 18% faster than a 4070. 😅 False advertising at its best.

The fan bracket has two boards on the back of it with headers for the fans. I am using those, but I still need to bring power and signal to those boards from my controllers, which is why I need cables. If I were using Watercools controller boards, I could just install them in the radiator...

Hopefully they fixed the keyboard bind issues. My project is not done yet, but when it is, the first thing I am going to do is jump in with Stalker2.

Thank you both. I wound up ordering what I need (and some spares for practice) from DigiKey.

I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding these parts from anywhere a normal human being (without a purchasing department, or a need for reels of 10's of thousands of parts) can purchase these without serious ripoff pricing. Some seller on amazon has kits of them with 5 connectors and...

I've run into another momentary setback. I determined that ideally I should make my own fan cables for things to be clean and the right length. Initially, since I have so many unused Noctua extension cables from the boxes and boxes of Noctua fans I have bought, the plan was to just lop off the...
