Finally finished build. 4 year transformation.

[AirSocial]

Hello! I am AirSocial and I am a pretty old user on the forum. In mid 2018 I made a post showing off my PC at the time. It had a i3-8100 with no GPU and 8GB of ram with just a 120gb SSD. Everyone was extremely supportive and only told me nice things and help me improve it. Now here I am today in 2022 now 18 with a job and able to purchase parts. This is what that one post inspired me to do. The way people reacted proved to me to just make what I like and I would enjoy it more. She now has a i5-9400f, with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Ram, with a Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB, a Gigabyte H370 Aorus board, Corsair H100 AIO, and a Corsair CX650m. With the desk setup being a Corsair K70 Mk.2, Corsair Glaive, Corsair Void Pros, and the RGB Corsair extended mousepad (Forgot the name lol). As you can tell I enjoy Corsair a lot showing almost anything that can be Corsair is, down to the power supply. Also, the AIO is a 240mm but do to ram clearance can only fit 1 fan. This may seem like a waste but the i5 stays pretty cool averaging about 23C on idle with just the one fan. I basically bought the AIO for future proofing. I hope everybody enjoys the progress! Here is a link to the old post. Shoutout @Crunchy Dragon for believing.

Also sorry for the pretty awful picture quality. The iPhone 11 pro max doesn't like all the lights, In my first build cable management with a big issue and you can see that cables are basically invisible besides the AIO lines.

That’s not how cameras work, cameras don’t just get worse….

those photos are obviously smudged, my iPhone does the same thing when I don’t wipe it off well.

you don’t just wipe it, if you aren’t careful (use the wrong cloth, have too thin cloth, or you have grease on the lens), it might get worse, so you have to actually put atention to wiping it

my XS max is fine, besides it’s battery being not great from my shitty usage of it (fast charging all the time and constantly using it, letting it die, recharging it, etc, I’ve not been nice to it)

My iPhone 8 got like 4 hours of like normally until I replaced it last year too, o was nicer to that one
