They are awesome cables to be fair. I used a general pack in carbon, though had to add a custom 12 pin for the 3090 FE, the included dongle was just too ugly.

Think that's it from what I remember.
Was a motherboard / CPU upgrade and reused every thing else I had.
Battlefield stable so it does for now.
 
I wish.......................I have a massive case Meshify 2 XL - it is huge, you have seen photos. I bought the 25CM version at £81 and it fitted but I could have used the smaller one and saved money.. I could have got away with a 20CM at £73. As you have fitted one already you get the idea of the size you need. The £68 pound one is the 15CM, it all depends on case size etc.
 
@mrk Heads up new BIOS release but to let you know I saved my settings to a USB drive and then restored them fine. Good idea that.
That simply would not happen with the Z390 Master, it would warn that the backup was made with a different BIOS revision and wound not load.
Thankfully this works and saves me a lot of fiddling.

How do you save your bios settings mate?
 
Ah awesome I will get updating!

To save the bios it's either the F key mentioned or simply on the last page where you save and exit, choose save BIOS to profile/USB. Remember to do the same from within the smartfan page too so your fan profiles are saved.

Edit*
I did not restore the main BIOS settings from USB this time round because the change log stated various optimisations in the LLC etc for CPU so just incase I restored a setting that had been revised in the latest BIOS, it took a couple mins to put manual settings back anyway so no bother. Fan profile restored off USB which is the main thing for me.

So far all seems good.

Hello, guys i m a little confused as what ram sticks 32 GB suits better to complete my new setup. What would you go for?

Cpu: 12700k ( Upgrade from my old 8700k )
Mobo: Msi pro z690 - A DDR4


a. G.Skill Flare X 32GB DDR4 (2x16GB) 3200MHz ( Samsung B Die )

[ F4-3200C14D-32GFX ]

b. Crucial Ballistix Black 32GB DDR4 (2x16GB) ( Micron Die ) *

[ BL2K16G36C16U4B ] ( 35€ cheaper than the b dies (a) )

* But i dont know if these are DR or SR

Crucial support say that the extension M16FE1 is the Dual Rank version and the M8FB1 is single rank.*

Thanks
 
Finally getting the tubing figured out.

However, cant decide if I should use nickel at the top or black for the fittings.
