EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 Backplate - Nickel

 

My EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 Backplate - Nickel + EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi arived not sure if my temps are oke avg around 60c or so peeking 68c still bleeding out all air saw kyle did a review on liquid devil that hit about 65c peek on hotspot temp, i guess my temps will eventually normalize and go down

I am way too scared to water cool my 6900xt.  Never done it before and with my luck I see my $2k getting destroyed.

So I just bought a new bike today! Can't wait to get it registered and insured.  I Haven't had a bike since I sold my dirt bike 5 years ago.  Have a 30 min commute to work figured I might as well enjoy it in the spring/summer/fall

I'll leave it up to you people to figure out what these are and what they cost me.

I think that's a little too hard of a guessing game

That I did.... Thanks! That will help me in the future! I fixed it! (honestly I was too lazy to plug in my phone to move my photos, or use google photos)

So I bought these magical fans, after getting a discount because the thermal pad I bought was slightly defective (one corner was bad)

 

Three for $8, so my expectations were low

 

Right outta the box, I felt one fan blade was wobbly and was like "ah crap"

It snapped right out of the fan hub lol

The other two fans were okay though,I checked by plugging them in and they spin soooo...

 

They're replacing it for me, but we'll see how long these lasts lol

Hopefully, few months

Probably still too high.

 

Also, since when do fans heat up the air they're moving? Lol

Even the marketing is garbage.

Just seen this game was $15 on Steam. I enjoyed playing it on PS4. Now I'm about to see what its hittin' fo on PC. 

[Kilrah]

Some Pi Picos and accessories

Nah.

Amazon and the state takes a large cut. With the remains you can buy some fans so approx. $2.7 is a fair price for cheap fans.

Still probably still worse then Arctic P12 (although they got significantly more expensive since launch)

You can still buy the P12 PWM PST for 6€ each. 22€ for a 5-pack. They didn't get any more expensive. At least in europe.

Arctic P12 where 4€ for a single fan. 2€ more is in this price range +50%. 

May be 50% more, but 6€ is not too much to ask for a decent fan.

Can't complain. 4€ delivered per fan.

 

 

Chotto matte...

 

Sold by Amazon UK but can't be delivered within the UK? Say what now? 

 

Also, funnily enough, one of the variants is cheaper for me to buy if sold by Amazon DE rather than Amazon UK...

Bought it on amazon de from amazon uk international shipping shipping to Germany. Also the offer lasted long. A minute or so after placing the order it was gone and back up to the old 7.50€ price.

Was that 7.50eur pricing still Amazon UK or Amazon EU (as there are other non-DE ones as well)? Sounds like the system kicked you off Amazon UK and changed you to somewhere else...

Funnily enough it does happen quite frequently these days with computer parts. Within 2 hours, I've seen Amazon.co.uk jump between Amazon UK and Amazon DE about 5 times lol. Mind you, Amazon UK was pre-order whilst Amazon DE was in stock

That's why they're magical

I got a lot of things in the mail!
GTX 690 w/o fan - $112

GTX 690 fan - $14

Replacement power cables for my PSU - $15
PCIe 6-pin extension - $4 (NewEgg had it on super duper sale, instead of $13 it was $3, and even though I have a bunch of extra cable I don't mind)

 

Will post pictures as they arrive! The fanless GTX 690 should be coming tomorrow if UPS is to be believed.

10tb HD's for my NAS.

First of all, I needed some of this juice for this purchase

 

Spoiler

$4000, but it's for collection more than mining, so I'm fine with it not getting ROI

 

my next PC will probably be white themed, i guess

i find it funny because it'll live in the mines until i can be arsed to get a new system when next gen cpu drops

 

[Liberal Pansy]

Got myself a really nice condition Technics SL-1500 Mk1 that came with a older Ortofon VMS3 cartridge. Much better than the Aiwa turntable I scavenged from an all in one hifi..
