So here is my story...
I, like many others have had a rough time this year but I tried to make the most of it and have been making 3D printed PPE for the NHS running 24/7 and operating on 2hr sleep a night.
Sadly this came to an end when the government decided they wanted over £3k for a licence for me to make the stuff to save peoples lives.
Obviously I couldn't afford that.
Between PPE production, Furlough and then redundancies I have fallen on slightly rough times when my PC decided that it wanted to shart itself resulting in a smoky white death.
I have contacted some of the manufacturers but as I bought it all 2nd hand they are not honouring any warranty.
Thanks to the amazing community I am part of on social media I have been donated the following:
PSU: EVGA 650W GQ Semi Modular
GPU: MSI GTX 980TI Armour X2 (Painted fan surround black)
MOBO: Asus X370 Crosshair VI Hero
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
COOLER: Stock AMD Stealth
RAM: 2X 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200
CASE: NZXT H510i Black /Red (I have painted red bits black)
Am I missing anything I might need?
I know I will need some thermal paste to ideally re-seat the CPU cooler fresh.
Luckily I have some storage here already and everything was backed up (Thank you VEEAM!!!)
Any info would be appreciated.
