UPGRADE TIME (RTX 3090)

Original build thread: here

 

Well I upgraded from the Palit RTX 2090 Ti to an MSI RTX 3090 SUPRIM X.  I have had an extremely busy time since I first built my PC and I have went from wanting to custom water loop my first rig to now I am just upgrading the GPU as a stop-gap until I have the spare time and consummate number of F's to devote to a whole new build.

 

Just thought I would show you how it looks now.  The only issue that I had was that the 2080 Ti only needed one PCIe 8-pin to double 8-pin cable and I couldn't be bothered re-doing my back-end cable management so I just stuck another cable in through the cable slot and stuffed the excess cable into the cavity.  Forgive my tragic cable management in the front but I just wanted it done.

 

Another small issue is that the NZXT USB hub I had didn't have anywhere to go so I pushed it up against the back of the fan cage and it cleared the card by a few millimetres.  Will do a benchmark on UserBenchmark to see how much better the 3090 is over my 2080 Ti.

You really don't realise how big these cards are until you see them in comparison to the rest of the PC. So long and chunky. It's a nice looking card though.

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

Sexy, other than that tangled cable mess.

Whoopsies I meant to type 2080 Ti, my bad.  Also, for the record: I love tentacle porn.

Surely installing a d15 cant be that hard....

To be honest I didn't think starting out that I would have used the stock cooler for so long.  It works pretty good though and handles the small overclock I made on the CPU just fine.

What is the first image supposed to show us?

RIP sorry didn't log back on until now and didn't realise I messed up that pic so bad.  It was supposed to show that it only cleared the case fans and NZXT USB hub by millimetres.  It was tighter than a ducks butthole inside the case.
