This looks awesome.

A few GPU goodies. Tried polishing up the block. The previous owner neglected the poor block and let it stain badly. Might be hard to tell but the picture of the card mounted is sitting on the PCO-11 vertical mount kit. I cut the pcie rise bracket to rest on the fans and sit in the IO bracket instead of just letting it hang. The included cable (20cm) was a little to long but I couldn't find any 15cm black riser cables, so I had to squish the poor thing in there.

Some cool fill clips. VID_20181108_211446~2.mp4 VID_20181108_212038~3.mp4

Thanks, must be all the Lorn and Trapped Under Ice music that influences me haha. TUI the band, not the Metallica song.

Dang, that's pretty good. I'll have to see how far I can push it.

Nice! Do you remember what your max temps were?

I got some filling videos and more progress photos I'm going to post up after I get some sleep.

Also these wire clips I got off Amazon are amazing. Gonna use these in every build from now on.

Haven't had to much time right now but I have the CPU sitting at 4.7 on all cores at 1.153V. Sadly haven't even got to the GPU.

Got rid of the proprietary 5 PIN for 4 PIN. Also painted and fit an IO cover for some extra flare.

This is probably the most fun I had building in a case.

The best set up is to buy the modem and router seperetly. The combo's limit your choices. Buying seperetly gives you more freedom. It can usually cost more though.

The authors friend is probably using the laptop's wireless card to connect to a router. Then uses a bridged wired connection to the desktop.

ICS: Internet Connection Sharing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Connection_Sharing This is actually different from the bridged network connection your friend is doing but is similar.
