Congratulations on the weight loss, keep it up!

Got a question about merchandise here..
 
So based on my current ltt shirts I have I might be needing a smaller size ones...
 
I lost some weight and was XL, now probably soon be an L. Is it possible to change the merch ticket size request I did?

That's awesome, thank you!
 
The little Tokyo is in Toronto, I think they don't call it that officially just between the locals.

I googled it for you. I love Japanese food too. It looks like there are several places. I didn't see anything about a little tokyo though.  https://www.tourismvancouver.com/activities/sightseeing/vancouver-japanese-culture/

Does Vancouver have some well known Japanese restaurants? 
 
I heard Toronto has "little Tokyo" area, is there anything similar in Vancouver?

Yeah I'm coming with a laptop and also bought me a Kensington lock.
 
I will bring with me a few locks as I have to anyway cuz I'm staying at a hostel with lockers (which u need to bring ur own lock to)

So I decided that I would make a two weeks trip in Canada with the LTX19 in between.
I was wondering if anyone want to join up?
 
I'm thinking of arriving in Toronto and moving from there to Vancouver, around a week of traveling, just before the LTX19 and then go back to Toronto for my flight back.
 
I'm thinking about 17th of July till the 1st of August.
 
This my first time traveling to Canada and my first time traveling alone. I would love for suggestions and/or fellow travelers or even locals who would like some foreign company.

So apparently even in the Xtreme version Gigabyte can fuck up...
 
I just received the parts and installed the CPU and RAM only to find out that when I was going to install the m.2 that there is a missing screw on the motherboard!!
 
I contacted the shop I bought from and they said that they are sorry and will try to provide me with a new screw. (Also they requested to send anything else I can see that is missing)
 
Well let's continue with what we have for now. The system won't die from not having a heatsink loose on an empty m.2 slot.
 
Also,  here is a picture of the parts before unboxing. (I forgot the video card box in the next room!!!)

So I bought some cablemods cables (Black&Blue) for my HX1000i so until they arrive I'll try to make do and fix a bit the cable management. One of the fans hits a cable!! Ahhhh...
 
Also ordered a commander pro so I won't need to use two controllers and a node.
 
Probably will take 2-3 weeks to arrive (I don't have any local shop that provide any of those)
 
So until then it is make do and try to overclock this beast!
 
I wish I will be lucky and get to 5.2+
Wish me (silicone) luck!
 
Also, I will post more pics this evening.
 
Edit: I searched all over for the screw or for an extra one, but there is none. There is a screw and a stand for m.2 itself but not for the protector (heatsink) above it.

I have the worst cable management ever, I think I will re do it today.
I had no time to fix it yesterday I just had to try and power the PC on to see if it works and I didn't destroy anything.
I almost killed my USB 3 pins by trying to connect it backwards.
 
My real issue is the hx1000i cables that are thick as f. I can't seem to make the go the direction I want.
 
At least it posts!
 
There is cables everywhere!!!!
After tweaking the cables I will set up the rest. Also will need to overclock this baby.
 
Any one knows what cables works with Corsair hx1000i that are not thick as fuck and are flexible?

Ok finally done!
 

Not my best cable management, probably will do better when the new cables will arrive.
 

At least it looks decent on the front.
 

Those damn bulky cables!!
 

Final set up! I moved my 24" monitor to a table stand to the left cuz the PC needed go to the right.
 
Here some close-ups:




 
Now I need just to remember to close the lights and take some proper pictures.
 
Took me like 3 hours to set up windows and I'm not even done!!
 
After I'm done I'll get Aida, cinebench and all that goodies and start overclocking this beast.
 
Any one used or using the temperature wires and have suggestions where should I put them? (If at all)
 
Edit:
I just noticed I forgot to cable manage my desk cables!!! Shiiii will have to fix that tonight.

Well for now, until the new cables gets here I'm OCing the PC.
 
Did 5.1GHz with VCore on 1.365V, temps goes to the 90's. Well I set the LLC to extreme so I'm getting between 1.392V to 1.404V.
But for now it looks stable. And not super toasty.
I'll try to do 5.0GHz after I can find my stable 5.1 (should have done it before but I'm stupid) so I can use something less voltage demanding.
 

Ok finally done!

Nice, I just put together my similar build.  I started with an H115i but temps hit near 100C (Prime95 w/ AVX) with the 9900K cranked up to 5Ghz so I replaced it with a custom loop. Your results may vary.  I kinda wish I had gone with fans that are compatible with RGB Fusion software, but I like the Corsair fans and the Corsair Commander Pro.  A plus is there is a nice place to mount them.
 
For the M.2 screw, see if one came separate in the box. I believe that is how it was with my Z390 Aorus board.
 
Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

So I decided I would build my most insane PC yet. Something that is in between: "Holy shit my wallet has holes in it!" and "Maybe I should custom loop this... with gold".
 
My build will have the following:
* Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic Black
* Core i7 9700K
* T-Force Night Hawk RGB Black 32GB RAM 3200Mhz  CL16
* Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme
* EVGA RTX 2080 XC Ultra (couldn't get my hands on a 2080ti...)
* WD Black M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB 
* WD Black 3TB HDD
 
(There is also an Intel optane 32gb but it got delayed so I'm not sure if it will be in this build)
 
For cooling I wanted a custom loop but I have 0 experience with that, and those parts are super expensive.
 
So I went with:
* Corsair H115i Pro RGB
* 6x Corsair ML120 - for the case
* 2x Corsair ML140 - to replace the rad fans with some better looking fans.
 
All the parts should arrive tomorrow, for now I have on me the cooler and fans.
 
Will keep the topic updated with pics and other info as I progress through the build.
 
(This is my second time building a PC from scratch if not counting all my previous upgrades I did for myself and family)

I've been monkeying around with this case, and various upgrade parts all year, learning how to do custom water cooling etc but I think it is finally in a stable build form - just waiting for the custom PCIE power cables to arrive tomorrow from @CableMod so i can put the other side panel back on.
 
Current cables were ordered before i decided on new graphics cards, hence the not quite done part. 
 
All in all it meets exactly what i wanted... A giant fun box of completely unnecessary parts that does everything under the sun, very quickly without overheating. 
 
Thermaltake Core X9 case with two upgrade tempered glass side panels
Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme MB
Intel Core i9 7960x delidded with Conductonaut LM
64gb (4 x 16) G.skill Trident Z RGB 3200mhz CL14 DDR4 RAM
EKWB monoblock
2x Nvidia Titan RTX with input shunt resistors swapped from stock 5MO to 3MO
Bitspower RTX 20-series water blocks, SLI water bridge, temp sensor and some fittings
ASUS ROG NVLink 4 slot bridge
2tb Samsung 960 Pro nvme ssd
4tb Samsung 850 Evo sata ssd
Corsair AX 1600i psu
EKWB revo d5 rgb pwm pump/reservoir combo with taller reservoir tube
2x EKWB Coolstream XE 480mm radiators
11x Noctua iPPC NF-F12 2000 rpm pwm fans (8x radiator exhaust, 3x floor intake)
2x Noctua NF-A14 2000rpm pwm fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust) 
2x Noctua NF-A20 pwm fans (front intake)
Custom CableMod PSU cables (pro for CPU, graphics cards, and ATX 24 pin)
Phobya 8x pwm fan splitter
 
I think that's about it. Man this was an expensive journey but it's been a ton of fun and I'm happy with the results.
