in my opinion most cable management questions would fall under the cases and modding or PSU sub-forums, since those are directly related to the cable management
if you mean cable management on your desk, I'd say peripherals would be the right fit for that; as you're generally managing the peripheral cables (i.e. mouse, keyboard, etc.) away. 

Very old GPU, nothing to do with Elon

Even when using PCPartPicker you often still need to look stuff up because they don't have every detail of a component listed on their site.

Oh shoot forgot I have to double click for sone reason

We fixed it either it was the sata ports or that XMP was off

You have actually saved me, thank you so much, I didn't even know you could do this but I now have a reactivated copy of windows after a brand new build using the same Windows install as my old PC, thank you!!!

Unfortunately there is simply no bulletproof solution to spam. We have a number of measures in place, but when the spammers are creating new accounts from clean emails and clean IP addresses, and posting links to sites that haven't been posted before, we have no way of determining automatically whether it is spam or not. When content like that is reported as bot spam, it is generally acted on very quickly, to ban the member, remove all their content and remove all recipients from PMs, but that is the best we can do.

Ahh I’m never in OT

I can't relate to lurking lol, damn been I while since I saw you last lol

I have never received these and seeing that you have a wait 2016 account with 0 posts?

It never was dangerous it just has kernel access to identify cheats many other cheats also works in kernel but the valorant anti cheat is just more aggressive and runs on startup if it isn’t on startup you can’t play valorant

What are your current settings? What kind of graphics is grainy if it’s the map then it’s your wifi most likely

i find digital foundry videos good for these kinda things
 
give it a watch

Ayo, welcome to my Miney's build log!
It's name is Miney because it's my mining rig, it will be Miney 01 if I decide to expand into more rigs, we shall see where this goes!
This will be my 3rd main PC, alongside Desky and Beddie (very self explanatory names)
 
Miney was actually in use back when I was mining on 2x 1070 and 1x 2070S, while I used my GTX970 in my main rig, but I decided to move everything onto my main rig to save on electricity as idle CPU and other parts still consume power.
 
Since I'm adding more GPU now, Desky ran out of PCIE slot, so I'm bringing it back!
It's also actually been a hassle to pause certain GPU and CPU cores if I wanna game on Desky, so the migration is nice.
 
Parts:
Old stuffs:
Core 2 Duo from my old old home PC, mining doesn't need a lot of CPU horsepower so it's good enough 2x2GB + 2x1GB DDR2 RAM + Gigabyte EP45-UD3R are given to me by a friend who bought a new PC. Casing is from my old home PC, I actually modded it slightly so it fits longer GPU if plug in directly into the board (removed the drive cage) 120GB Patriot Burst SSD was bought when I first built Miney.  
New stuff:
Corsair HX1000 PSU was ordered online for $250 (MYR 998) RTX 3090 MSI Gaming X Trio was ordered for $2000 (MYR 8299) 2x RTX 3060 Ti iChill  each was $550 (MYR 2299) RTX 3060 Ti TUF was bought at $650 (MYR 2599) 4x PCIE 1x to 16x Riser was bought for $3.50 ea (MYR 14.79)

The Build:
I actually livestreamed the build process for funsies, but it's a silent stream of me (I don't talk much) just fiddling with PC stuffs, don't judge my poor man's stream setup

The motherboard is screwed into the casing already from previous build, so I just have to start building from there
 
But first, I plugged in the modular cables, and boy there's a ton that I need:
2x Sata Chain
5x PCIE 2x6+1-pin
1x 24-pin
1x CPU 8-pin
1x Molex (added after)
 
Left = not used, Right = used (I took out 2 Sata chain too many, wanted one sata harness for each GPU but eh, didnt go that route)

 
BUT if you're familiar with the HX1000, you may say "ey, that PSU only comes with 4 PCIE power harness"
and you're right, I actually had to use one from a RM850i that I used for a friend's build, he didn't want to keep the spare cables so more for me!
Corsair PSU mostly used the same modular cable: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/psu-cable-compatibility
 
Plugging in the cables before inserting into the case because spacing is very tight!

Using all of the 8-pin 12V rail of the PSU lol
 
-swings magic wand-

It is assembled! only took me 30 minutes haha
If you noticed, the PCIE riser doesn't have their foam on the bottom
I've seen foam like that cause fire so I'm not taking my chance
I make sure nothing touches the PCB so there's no risk of shorts.
 
I made sure it posted in stream before I turned the stream off for further diagnosing (more on this later)

 
 
Diagnosis, Performance + Tuning:
It posted but problems start appearing, it wouldn't enter into Windows and it kept BSOD-ing (Boot drive error)
Long story short, I swapped boot drive to another group of SATA port and it worked.
 
I ensured all 4 GPUs were detected by the system.

 
Then I proceeded to move Miney back to its nest, my ancient 20 year old computer table that have a spot for CRT monitors, Miney sits in that hole.

 
If you have keen eyes, you'll notice that the 3090 is standing upright instead of laying down as in the previous pictures.
That is because while I'm running tests on it, it seemed to show odd behaviour such as fan spinning up to 100% even though the GPU core temps are way below 70c, I spent some time diagnosing, and noticed that clocks were weird, and made a status update about it.
Turns out, the 3080 and 3090, specifically the GDDR6X modules on these GPU run REALLY hot
TechPowerup, Nicehash Blog
So I stood the 3090 up and place a fan blowing directly on the backplate
It didn't lower the temps(108-110c), but the card did not thermal throttle much anymore.
The backplate temp was 48-50c, measured on my taped on thermal probe without paste, hot enough to burn your skin.
 
Well someone once said that if a GPU is inadequately designed, Miners are the first to know
I never relate more to that statement now haha
So anyone wanting to buy a card with G6X , especially ones with modules on back of PCB, pay close attention to the cooling for them.
 
Final look, it ain't pretty but it works!

Get a personal rave party upstairs with all dat RGB *-*
 
I stayed beside it for ~2 hour to monitor it, make sure it reach equilibrium (and not on fire hahahaha) and probed few location temps, namely PSU intake and exhaust temps because I don't want my HX1000 to die.
The intake temp is 40-41c. exhaust is warm at 45-47c, it's warm but it's rated for 50c so I'm not too worried.
 
Performance of the rig:
 
Closing comment + Future ideas:
Why did i go for a 3090? Well let's say that no other GPU that made sense were available, 3060 Ti prices were jacked up to $1000 by the time I'm shopping for more (and have to import from China, so no local warranty) and the 3080 just doesn't exist anywhere.
I actually preferred if it was a 3080 instead of a 3090, but 3080 that I found were $1250 + I had to buy a full system along with it, pushing the price over a 3090.
 
So the 3090 at double the hash rate of 3060 Ti at double the price makes decent sense, to me anyways.
It does have less perf/watt, but it's not too bad, 240W on 2x 3060 ti vs ~300W on a 3090.
Plus, I get to play with a 3090, I'll probably never get to have another good reason to buy top end GPU to have fun with anymore, so yea.
 
Right now I can fit in 3 more GPU without making Miney 02, so it'll be a while before I buy another rig to replace Beddie, which will become Miney 02.
I'm looking to buy more GPU as I go, hope it goes well  Play-by-ear.
 
Given that the 3090 is running at (personally feeling) non-ideal conditions, I probably won't sell it because I cant't guarantee its well-being in the long term.
So it'll probably stay with me for a very long time.
 
How far can I feel the heat of this machine? Let's just say my entire upstairs living room feels warm when I come up the stairs.
But it's not the only contributor as Desky is also mining at around ~300W in the same area.
But no one stays in this space so it's all good.
 
I guess that's it for now, thanks for reading this long ass build log!
 
Update 1 (1 day): My living room temp raised from 25c to 28c, it's noticeably warmer, and if i probe higher, it reaches 29c haha
the rig is operating as expected, very pleased with it
 
Update 2 (2 days): added one 80mm fan on rear as intake to provide fresh air to PSU, and added another 120mm to pull exhaust of PSU away from the rear fan, it works quite well
PSU intake drop from 41c to 37c.
Though I think it affects the fan that I use to cool my 3090 backplate so I'll do further testings

You mean a thermal paste spreader. This would be fine to use.

This might be a dumb question but does GTA V actually support 4K without mods?
