We somehow convinced Lumafield we can be trusted with a CT scanner.. and holy heck this has to be one of the coolest things we’ve ever seen!

PBO will boost until it hits TDC, EDC, PPT or thermal limits. Usually first three are set high enough that you are almost always thermally limited.
 
Memory training happens on every platform. Intel or AMD. It fills up the required timings that are not defined in XMP or default profiles.
 
Ryzen is not optimized for gaming. X3D models work better because they have more cache.
 
Zen3 tends to have 3600mhz as the acceptable level for DRAM frequency.
 
It depends.

Each one runs off a single 6-pin

One of my better uses of cold cathodes in a case mod...

i dint run uv but i had leds... i looked it up the other day and found nothing so... i can put uv in but nothing to light up...
 
 

it depends on the materials ofcourse, but the problem is kind of that most components are made of a lot of different materials, so it can be assumed at least some of that will start to yellow EXTREMELY quickly. (as in months, not years.)
pat the yellowing comes that flexible stuff (cable insulation, flexible watercooling tubes) will become brittle, and eventually most plastics will just snap at a touch. the most problematic things will take years, but the beauty of a UV system wont make it anywhere near said years.
 
also, these days we have the power of LED.. you could literally just fill your case with purple LED's, and everything you'd want to be phosphor illuminated, be LED illuminated directly.
 
impossible you say? let me introduce you to this cable:

Don't have it with me now but I use these 12" Logisys tubes, one on bottom and one up top
There's the guy, powered on for the first time right after building it. I didn't have the tubes in at this point, bought them a few weeks later... I don't know if I have any photos, I will keep looking.

Video was posted early and thread was posted late. Nice one.

What's your resolution, which monitor?
 
Also, the 5800XT hasn't been released, there are just a 5800X and a 5800X3D. AMD is supposedly releasing AM4 XT CPU-s soon.
 
Do not use UserBenchmark for anything meaningful, that tool and site are almost useless and misleading.
 
Looking at the system, it's quite optimized for 1080p, maybe a newer/stronger GPU would do better, but I wouldn't recommend above a 3060Ti/4060 or Radeon 6600XT/6650XT/7600/7600XT/6700 for 1080p with a 5800X. A 5700X3D or 5800X3D could do a 4070 or RX 6800/7700XT.
If you're on 1440p, the 5800X can handle up to RX 6800XT/7800XT or RTX 4070 SUper, 4070Ti.

If you want to play games with raytracing down the road go green, otherwise the AMD gpus are more bang for your buck as long as you don't mind spotty driver support sometimes (unless it's changed?) Also Destiny isn't a very hard game to run so any of the GPUs you listed should do 1440p fine.

Don't ever do this. This is a guarantee of failure and disaster. Molex is only really rated for 75w. Since you are using a daisy chain cable you are pulling form the same wire.
 
These molex to pcie adapters are made extremely shittly and known to melt.
 
Using 2 different cables is better but still don't do it.
 
Not too surprised there.
 
As for mred psu's these all look identical to rebadges Aigo, sharkoon,... use and your specific one looks like the typical not safe to use one I see from time to time. You got lucky it lasted on your rig really.
 
I would replace with a good unit asap.
 

It is the drive moving the actuator heads to a designated landing area to avoid damaging the platters / heads..  below the heads are parked on their landing zone.   Some older drives the heads park up by the spindle in as designated empty area of the platters.
 

No, this is absolutely not normal.  I have never seen anything like this before.
That's insane.
 
The heatpipes and everyhing looks solid but there are some weird marks that shouldn't be there.
This has to be returned or RMA'd. This is not how its supposed to be at all.

Confess to purchasing one
 
(crowd chants "Shame, Shame!")

If your on a tight budget, I'd keep using your sata ssd. There won't be a signifant performance difference moving to a nvme drive for most uses.

16GB is enough for gaming in 99% of scenarios (unless you play Civ or such), it only starts to be a problem if you're using applications such as video editors or 3d modeling software.

How much RAM do you have? If you have 16GB it's worth upgrading to 32 or 64gigs depending on what applications you use the most.

Red Dragon keyboards have been known to be decent entry level boards. 
 
LTT has a video on it as well. The first half is on an membrane KB/Mouse combo. But the second half is on that KB.
 

every airport tv showing an ad instead of the flight times......

Just saw the Yvonne Cricut video and I was shocked that terribly anti-consumer company got past your screeners as their history checks off most of Linus's pet peeves. 
 
Anti-consumer.
Sued third party that wrote linux support for it. 
Forced DRM cartridges for a while. 
Tried forcing cloud requirements with paid restrictions.

Some quotes:
 
"The “update” would have limited Cricut owners to uploading just 20 designs to their own devices each month, unless they paid for Cricut’s $8-per-month-minimum cloud service,"
 
"forced customers to use a cloud service to upload designs to their own machines"
 
"There’s not a lot of recourse for people who wish their machines worked differently. Cricut’s owner, Provo Craft, sues makers of third party software to make sure customers stay locked into Cricut’s software and cloud storage system. "

I want to add another complaint about Volta Charger. In their latest update to their indiegogo supporters they've told us if we want a tracking number for our shipment we have to sign up for their "LATEST NEWS & OFFERS" mailing list. I should not have to be spammed by their marketing department just to receive a tracking number.

Water cools the whole side of the country for more performance. 

Summary
Nvidia are pulling the 4080 12gb card.

My thoughts
For a company as head strong as Nvidia, this is welcome news. Everyone and their granny could see through the Fauxty80.
This does mean however they're left with the only XX80 card being unapologetically $1200, which is ridiculous.
