Nolan holding M.2 SSD's like Marge Simpson with potatoes: "I just think they're neat." 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Really shows the problem with 3000 series card with the cock-extension PCBs (where it's like 3" longer than it needs to be.....ladies....).   They're just straight up not meant for midsize cases. 

 

shoutout Asus for winning the 3000 series with the TUF series.  EVGA managed to use Strix PCB sizing for their FTW3 design that is basically reference design.

Workstation:  13700k @ 5.5Ghz || Gigabyte Z790 Ultra || MSI Gaming Trio 4090 Shunt || TeamGroup DDR5-7800 @ 7000 || Corsair AX1500i@240V || whole-house loop.

LANRig/GuestGamingBox: 9900nonK || Gigabyte Z390 Master || ASUS TUF 3090 650W shunt || Corsair SF600 || CPU+GPU watercooled 280 rad pull only || whole-house loop.

Server Router (Untangle): 13600k @ Stock || ASRock Z690 ITX || All 10Gbe || 2x8GB 3200 || PicoPSU 150W 24pin + AX1200i on CPU|| whole-house loop

Server Compute/Storage: 10850K @ 5.1Ghz || Gigabyte Z490 Ultra || EVGA FTW3 3090 1000W || LSI 9280i-24 port || 4TB Samsung 860 Evo, 5x10TB Seagate Enterprise Raid 6, 4x8TB Seagate Archive Backup ||  whole-house loop.

I'm curious to the monitor mount Nolan uses, the triple monitor one, with the ultra wide on top, and the 2 smaller ones under it? Does anybody know what mount it is?

It's probably something like this, they aren't that uncommon: https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Steady-Adjustable-Articulation-Monitors/dp/B073G9RWKT/

Is the aio radiator in the white PC being on the bottom going to kill the pump as it's now the highest point of the loop?  Would it not fit on the front or top of the case?

I have a set up that cant even run halo, struggles with shaders in minecraft and last but not least it randomly reboots itself and claims of a power surge sometimes, my dad knows how to build computers, but he cant seem to figure it out. Can you consider me to be the next Intel EXTREME TECH UPGRADE

OK. All of the Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade videos are for LMG employees. If you had actually watched even one of them, I think you would have known that. But instead you just saw a video that gave you the impression Linus was giving away free stuff and decided to come beg, I guess.

No. All Intel Exteme Upgrades have been for employees of LMG. For subscribers, Linus has done other builds. Most well know, and the one you are probably thinking, is ROG Rig Reboot. But it was said in recent live build stream that it won't be happening again. The decision is probably from Asus side, but could also be that the main handler of the event has since left LMG.

Please post your own thread to Graphics Cards. What counts as "good and cheap" depends on where you live and to what you are pairing it with.
