The images with the lighting don't do it justice, the lighting actually gives it a very subtle orange glow that really goes with the wood on the front, makes it look super clean!

The first parts of my mom’s new PC got here. Almost tempted to just use the stock cooler for now until I do eventually upgrade her to a K sku CPU (talking a couple years down the line). It’s a 12400F, like the only intel CPU that isn’t a nuclear reactor afaik. 
 
But also, been a hot minute since I built with an ATX board, forgot how big they are.  My last few builds have all been Micro ATX or ITX

50 is the way to go if you need quantity. 

Yes, and putting someone in jail is not restricting freedom because they can still walk around in their little jail cell...
 
For those wondering, censorship is defined as:
or:
 
Just because you have other ways of communicating something doesn't mean the act of taking options away isn't censorship. By that logic, China isn't censoring anything at all. Them banning certain words on websites? That's not censorship because people can still say those words in their own homes. It's a silly argument to make that shows a lack of understanding of the word.
 
 
 
People said the same thing about books, movies, music, and so on.

I'll get the 50, cause I'll be using it for other things too, just wanted to make sure, appreciate the help!

30 is all you need. 50 seems like advertising but it’s a bigger quantity, which is the biggest difference in my review. 70 is an intermediate volume and comes with applicators and cleaning wipes. Wouldn’t recommend 50 or 70 if you are doing less than five CPUs. 

~5C at max lower temps. I had 2-3. Thermalright LGA1700 one.

Yeah, I'll just grab the XMT50 then, lol, thank you.  
 
I was just curious cause my BB used to sell Arctic MX4 in store but now only have this Corsair stuff. 

Al is just Weird, no need to get offensive...
 
 

Redragon K631 PRO keyboard and Tangerine 62G switches.  The keyboard is hotswappable with 3 and 5 pin switches, I've already applied them to the keyboard.  Love how these switches feel!

My LGS had a huge sale today!  It was their 20th anniversary and they had all games and systems 50% off and all movies and TV shows at 75% off.  Picked up a few things I was wanting, got the Pokémon SwSh Switch Lite for $90!  

Now that's it's been a couple days, my take is that, yeah, I'm glad GN called out LTT.  Could it have been done better?  Sure, but it needed to be done.
 
LTT's inaccuracies are part of the reason I stopped watching LTT altogether.  Their employee(s?) trying to call out GN and HU on testing and accuracy was laughable at best. What they did to Billet Labs was just disgusting, and how they reviewed that mouse was also laughable, especially since from certain angles on the video for it, you can tell there's still plastic on the feet. 
 
Linus's rant on here was just a nothing burger, it was gaslight, gatekeep, (attempt at) girlboss. He felt attacked and considering how passionate he is about LMG, I can understand why.  But having watched GN's original video a couple times now, it's clear he wasn't attacking LTT, he was voicing his concerns.  He mentioned during the warranty debacle that LTT/LMG would be treated like any other corporation from then on, and that's what he did. 
 
Steve's follow up also wasn't bad, it was straight to the point, he said what he had to say, and left the ball in LTT's court. 
 
As for that apology video...
Lmao, lol even.
It is one of the videos of all time. Idk what it is about it, it felt forced. Some of it felt genuine, most of it felt fake AF. The new CEO being front and center at the beginning was smart, I felt since the beginning of this whole thing he should have been the one doing the talking, not Linus. The first joke about sponsors was fine, I know a lot of people have been arguing about that on reddit and twitter.  Breaks up the tension and eases the viewer into a video with a heavy topic. The LTT store plug, and showing off a new screwdriver color wave people can buy though? Not the time and/or place, and made most of the video feel fake and like "we just want to put this behind us, buy our merch uwu," and the sponsor joke again at the end was a little much, but that's not as egregious as the LTT store plug/ad, or the monitizing of the video itself. Luke and the new CEO felt genuine to me, so did Yvonne. Someone should have kept Linus on a tighter leash though, or not had him in the video at all, he just went right back to gaslight, gatekeep, (attempt at) girlboss. 
 
As for the Madison situation, I don't have a huge opinion on it yet, I hope her the best, and I won't attack her or go after her or LTT over the allegations, I'll simply wait to see how that plays out in court (if it goes to court or settlement).
 
All in all, I feel like GN did the youtube tech community a favor, a lot of viewers had been saying this stuff to LTT for a long time, so have their employees apparently according to the "employees answers" video, but Linus and other leadership didn't listen until a peer of theirs in the community called them on it.

I still have some old boards and components lying aroung that have interesting colors from previous builds I did.
The left one is a Intel board with a 2600K and the left one an AMD one with a Athlon II, you can tell that at a certain point board manufacturers started being more uniform with the Intel one. 

Think I still have an old Pentium II or IV lying around that has the painted cables, but I'd have to check. 😂

My friend had a PC I helped him build with parts found for stupid cheap.  His GPU had no backplate, but a red PCB, the MOBO was a blue PCB, RAM was green PCB, but it still performed well for the price he paid.  It was fun to look at, like he got an amazing bang for buck.  Wasn't uniform at all, but it still was neat and interesting to look at with how it turned out.
