It took a while, but my F@H box is finally operational again!
 
Tally of stuff i had to replace:
- CPU (7742 died, currently back using the 7552)
- Motherboard (asrock ROMED8-2T to replace the Supermicro H11SSL-i)
- RAM (128GB DDR4 3200 to replace 256GB DDR4 3200 that died)
- Lots of new fittings
- Lots of new tube
- New 4070Ti waterblock (managed to save 1, the other is dead)
- New radiator since the old one was impossible to clean
Final cost, well over 1800 euros!
 
If anything, i think i learned my lesson using loop cleaning fluids. I'm still waiting on delivery of the second 4070Ti waterblock which is why only 2 GPUs are in the picture now.
 
 
 

I didn't want to know 😭

So... I used 9,640kWh electricity last year... Damn
 
At 0.32GBP/kWh that's... A lot 

My cousins puppies. I finally got to meet them today! 

MegaPro is the OEM of the screw driver.

However neither Megapro nor the LTT use any kind of fluid lubrication, as you can see in this torture test / destruction disassembly
So adding fluid to the screw driver is unnecessary for operation and probably not recommended

Yeah, I was away from home for a week so of course that's when a UPS died in my rack because hardware always knows when I'm gone.
 
Back up as of yesterday, almost all services restored.

... I'll confess, I didn't look that far ahead ^^'
If they're daisyable then yes it will save slots, don't put more than 3 on a single chain.

GPU is supposed/designed to work at 100%;, unless it overheats it won't affect its lifespan

As they arent the most commonly bought parts and so the "tax" they come with is based on consumer demand and cost to make the parts. Less bulk production means more money to make them and therefore more expensive to buy for end consumers

I am very happy, I have hit the top 10.  I don't know as I will keep it for long or ever again, but I have made it at least once.
 

I thought the Aorus x570 Master had lost half of it's SATA Ports as the RAID 10 Array failed. Turns out that 2 drives in the RAID 10 had failed silently with Storage Spaces NOT throwing any Errors. Oh Joy. Thank Goodness for Backups!

Really depends on how good you are and if you are into competitive play. If you are just a casual, theres  really not much of a point over spending.
 
Is there a big difference? Depends on your eyes and how you handle it. I see the uplift going from 144 to 240 to 360 hz, some people its not as noticeable. The response time is better so that will be an improvement, but unless you are able to actually utilize it, not by much.

Temps are high as expected BUT if you like the card, might want to replace pads and paste just to be safe (and maybe extract more performance). You can also BIOS mod Maxwell cards (and they overclock pretty damn good).

Imagine spending $350 for that garbage. $130 is still better, but the AIO being "separate" from the GPU heat doesn't matter much when you have a front panel that isn't competing  performance wise with the rest of the market.

By definition, they don't have a monopoly, neither in hardware nor software. But can we just agree that they're assholes? There should be an anti-asshole law.

The Normal Meshify 2 will also hold 6 just fine

Yeah, its not a bad case! Its actually quite popular and comes up quite often in builds here on the Forum.
Comes with good dust filters and 3 fans already installed.
The Lian Li LANCOOL 216 comes up a lot as well.
 
If you like it, go for it 🙂

It's been done, but final looks depend on your skill. Gluing it together might be easier, but it will probably look better when using more advanced technique.
Wood can crack and change shape as it dries, so make sure wood you use is completely dry already.
Other than that it's even safer than having metal case, because dry wood doesn't conduct electricity, even if some exposed parts touch the case it shouldn't short anything out...
Probably the one to look at:
Too advanced:
 

Definitely the latter

Either dead pump or an air lock in the pump.

Here is a demonstration of the effect of binning on efficiency.
 
 The 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super are both based on the AD103 die. The 4070 ti super at the bottom of the stack and the 4080 Super at the top. Both working on p18220 we see Yields of 14.5 vs. 17.2MPPD:

 
So here's the kicker:

 
The 4080 Super is drawing less power while running at a lower clock speed and is still out-performing the 4070 ti Super.

It's well known the computer gods require a blood sacrifice
 
 

In the process of replacing my motherboard so I can give my old Ryzen 1700, 16GB RAM, 650W PSU and gtx 1080 to my friends kid. Also got a spare sub 1080p screen they'll use until the friend can grab a more modern screen. (Going to be building this into a system for them, with them providing the left over stuff)
 
Anyway... I'm quite happy with this paste application
