sideways are more common nowadays because they look prettier, can see the rgb bling bling on the fans and have front glass for that fishtank style look
Still rocking the plastic glass protector eh!an alternative is just to keep the white case and leave the innards as black
i'm too much on a cheapass to splurge on an all white build, so this is mine (white case, black innards), as an example:
He's trying to keep it hood, like those ghetto sofa's with the plastic kept on.Still rocking the plastic glass protector eh!
Yep! 2.5 years later...Still rocking the plastic glass protector eh!
Now that I've read this, I have to admit myself that I still have the plastic protector that goes round the edge of my monitors I bought over a year ago now.Still rocking the plastic glass protector eh!
You both need to be sectioned TBH.Now that I've read this, I have to admit myself that I still have the plastic protector that goes round the edge of my monitors I bought over a year ago now.
Though it's actually worse than @tamzzy's in the sense that mine doesn't really protect much, so it's pointless leaving that stuff on them
I've left it to just pretend that my monitors are still brand new...
Could you do an update on the intended spec?
The RAM and PSU look fine to me.
^they're fine, i wouldn't have recommended it otherwise
also not really needed to shell out £190 for a mobo. the b850 eagle i listed is perfectly capable and £40 cheaper
Hah I didn’t see that, that deffo helps.
Which cheaper Aorus? You mean the Eagle? Afaik, the main downsides with the Eagle are 1Gb LAN, one of the M.2 slots is just 2 lane and half the rear USB ports are USB2. VRM is also not great, but adequate for the 9800X3D.
I'd say that's more of an aesthetic choice than performance. They will both cool the CPU comfortably, subject to fan curve adjustments (assuming you mean the peerless assassin).
Not super familiar with Gigabyte's offerings, but the Sapphire has a clear advantage: it is the cheapest, though the Prime and Gaming OC aren't far behind. I'd personally rather have a Prime or Pulse than a Gigabyte card, unpopular opinion maybe to prefer Asus, but the Prime are doing well from what I've seen. The Gigabyte cards tend to use sleeve bearings on most models (historically anyhow, 9070 XT doesn't say) which is one of the reasons I don't look at them since I'm a bearings snob from the mining days. I was also unimpressed with the PCB cracking issues and the leaking thermal goop (don't believe either of those apply to the 9070 XT). One thing I do like about Gigabyte, their Aorus models have a 4 year warranty.
