The rise of AMD

[Deathjester]

Based on the early days of AM5 i wouldn't touch Asus, but im sure thats all sorted now.
i do very much like the look of gigabyte stuff now days

Prior to this I had a Rampage IV Extreme, Rampage V Edition 10, Rampage VI Extreme Encore.
And I've had 0 issues with any of them. (Other than when I broke a heat pipe on the RVE10 when removing it to install a waterblock, but that only prevented me from restoring the stock cooler, and it was my fault).


Outside of this, I'm currently planning on keeping my old system and moving it into a Jonsbo N5 Nas case, and using it as a home server; admittedly it seems like a bit of overkill.... But I figure that selling it and buying a new one seems like I'll end up with a worse overall system, as I'll probably lose money at both ends of the deal.
Also this would allow me to switch that in, in the event that this gets RMAed.

I started working on custom fan extensions:

However I should have used slightly larger heatshrink; so it needs redoing since I ended up splitting it on some of the corners.

EDIT: Small update: I'm just trying to choose locations for these Noctua fan hubs:

Before I measure all my fan cables; I'm using 2 of these one for the 7 fans in the top zone, and the second for the 6 fans in the bottom zone.
The top zone has the CPU loop running through it, and the bottom has the GPU loop.
I also have 3 front case fans and one rear fan; all of these route back to the Powerboard, which also acts as a fan hub.

Each of the fan hub headers then runs back to my Aquaero 6 Pro, which controls all of the fan speeds; it has no problem powering all these as it's rated at 30W per fan channel.
