People still do that?

I thought they don't do that anymore, until I saw that image

Just a few systems.

Everything packed out and ready, the RAM and drives are behind everything

Oi, where the pics and feedback?

Lol I have pics but sadly haven't yet had time to really fame cause work kept me busy and I had to do some studying too, also my screen fell yesterday (bummer, so it's in the livingroom now connected to the TV) but here's some pics and feedback.

So here it is:


Now I checked out the Idle temps and it all looks good so far:

Just a heads up - NZXT Cam sometimes prevents CPU's from dropping to idle clocks - might be worth checking out your idle frequency and temps with it disabled vs enabled

There is a price to pay for the bling

Didn't know that at all, I'll test it later or tomorrow and see how it looks. Luckily I still have CPU-Z on here to compare

I'm so paranoid with my other GPU dying I keep GPU-Z open on my second monitor while gaming and check it the whole time.

Do you know what?
When NZXT was running the clock speeds were at 3988MHz but as soon as I disabled it and checked the speeds on CPU-Z the clock speeds hovered between 1396MHz and 1547MHz

I know that feels man

Why not just start msi afterburner at boot?

GPU-Z starts at boot and it's completely unnecessary paranoia that will wear off in a couple of days.

Did you disable automatic throttling in the previews GPU's bios? Or did it just die without overheating?

It never overheated or anything, it was just time, RIP 2016-2019.
