Yeah, I've never used a DDC before. The pumps I bought do come with a heatsink. It's not very deep, but it is larger than I expected. In fact the whole dressed pump is larger than I expected. (For what it is worth I have large-ish hands) My plan has been to open air mount them, figuring...

I didn't realize many boards were sacrificing main 16x slot speeds for more m.2 slots these days. That is a bummer. I will have to look out for that. I feel like the easiest solution to my requirements will be to find a board that has 10gig ethernet on board, either like the Asus Pro-Art or...

I'm curious. What about this motherboard do you like, to have made you go looking for it? I'll be shopping for AM5 boards soon, and it just looks like a sea of sameness to me out there, to be honest. Right now I am leaning towards an Asus ProArt simply because it has two Ethernet ports, one...

It could have had a slightly bent pin making marginal contact, and thus resistively heating up, I guess. That is a risk with any of these modern exposed "pin in socket" designs. I - by far - prefer the old fashioned "straight pins on the CPU" designs.

Same. But Microcenter appears to be the exception. They always seem to have a few in stock. Most people don't have a MicrCenter nearby though.

I'd be curious to see a GN investigation, but I can totally understand why the guy wouldn't sell it to them With something limited in supply like this, there is no guarantee you are going to be able to buy another one.

What are the use cases for that? Video editing, compute and AI? I don't think I've ever see my 4090 come even close to 16GB VRAM use, and I run everything at 4k ultra. I understand the desire for future-proofing, but I guess my perspective is, that if we get to a point where above 16GB RAM...

Oh, and worth noting, I did go with the middle configuration from my spreadsheet screenshot above, but - obviously - the workstation and game box are not in there yet. It looks like my concerns about eight distribution and stability were unfounded. The thing is still completely stable, even...

Hehe, maybe some day :p The two pumps used for the radiators will hang right underneath the reservoirs, which will hang on the side of the radiators. The plan originally was to get some sort of plastic "hobby box" to install the PSU and Aquaero devices in, bolt that to the side of the case...

Well, it took all night, but I got the rack rearranged, holes drilled for the second radiator, mounting brackets mounted, and radiators test fitted. I had almost forgotten how much of a pain in the *** cage nuts can be. Almost. I wonder if that's enough radiator capacity. Might need to...

Oh, and in other updates. The first of the Sliger rackmountable cases arrived this week. The 4U one for the workstation. It looks like a pretty neat case. Feels pretty sturdy. I mounted the three Silverstone fans in it, and they are a little loud, but I doubt they will go full blast very...

So during the week, I cut my final spacers (as mentioned in the previous post) and installed them, so we are back where we were before last Saturday (but a bit sturdier, straighter and less flexy.) So, I started measuring for the holes to mount radiator #2, and I realized, the bottom holes...

Ahh, I did not realize the resistance was configurable. I figured it was physically built into the wheel, permanently.

I've never actually used a driving wheel, but I saw one on display somewhere recently. Can't remember where. Target? Microcenter? I believe it was Logitech branded. It felt very flimsy and plasticky and nothing at all like driving a real car. I was kind of disappointed. Maybe they...

What does he scream about the clutch? Complaining about it, or bragging? :p

I really haven't played any driving games since the 90's How many titles actually support manual clutching? I presume most games just have a "press to shift up, press to shift down". How about changing gears in non-sequential order?

What, no clutch pedal? :p

Cutting spacers at dusk makes for quite a little light show!

I linked it in the first post ? (Though to be fair I started over there with the first few posts and then caught up to where they are both simultaneous as I was having some early issues with image uploads being rejected here, which have since been fixed) Thank you sir!

Today I went back to the drawing board (if only a tiny bit) For several days now I have been thinking that I really liked my pipe-based metal spacers and how they worked to provide backing and let me tighten my screws as much as I deem necessary, and I was disappointed I hadn't thought of...
