Totally will, now I've got to find the right motherboard and CPU, which in 2021 is harder than it should be

Science experiments are always fun Indeed it take me back to my uni science days. I was taken to doing a quick experiment with my current setup. It turned out my rear vent Noctua was already unconnected, so I checked idle and load temps turned the top Scythe S-FLEX off on the Antec P182 case and re...

@CA_Steve Just curious - what gpu are you looking at? Good question - I've a RX570 at the moment which will be re-used for a while, thanks to 2021 GPU shortages.

Not counting moving a heavy beast such as a P1...

OK, here's my story, hope it's in the right sub-forum. Built a new rig out of the reference/recommended SPCR kit, migrated my XP installation to it, and made a PC that's way quieter than older PCs. I can only hear it when in the same room (2x3m), and not at the door. But the next stage is to make it...
