Spent today with my bro sprucing up my AM4 rig. Now rocking a B650e TaiChi Lite mobo, with a 7600X 6 core CPU and 32Gb 6000Mhz CL30 DDR5 memory. Still kept the 6900XT and moved over my x2 M.2 KC3000 Nvme drives and the Samsung 860 QVO. PSU is the same 1300W as well. The plan is next year to replace the CPU with a new 8000 series CPU. But compared to the 5800X the 6 core 7600X still gives a nice bump in games (5-10FPS).

Gave me an opportunity to also clean out the case and also check the rad in case it needed a top up of fluid - which it didn't. Still full to the brim years later which is nice to see. Also re-did the cable management.

Some pics. :)

Cables are the worst aren't they but it helped tremendously having two people working on the pc and having it on a bench. Last time I tried was on the floor by myself and it was just painful. Hah that last sentence just sounds wrong. Lol.

Same here. Some Ibuprofen before bed and good as new
Avoiding RGB saves a lot of hassle as, quite often, the PWM connectors go one way and the ARGB cables goes the other way. Add to it an Aquacomputer Quadro, four temperature sensors and you get yourself a good chuck of cables.
Every case change I order some cable ties. Must allocate 0.5% of my budget goes for it

Ibuprofen makes me feel better, and avoiding RGB helps me avoid cable connector problems. Whenever I change cases I order cable ties and allocate 0.5% of my budget to that.
