one-armed dwarf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I don't really follow this at all. But when I built a PC with my brother at the height of covid 2020 it just took a couple hours (also good cable management this time, honest). edit I'll post that here actually. I would have liked if I had a picture that didn't have my fucking reflection in it, but what can you do Heatsink was way too fucking big, only regret I have with this. Way overkill, but at least that 3700x is nice and cool You can attach two fans to this heatsink, but I didn't. Can't remember the reason right now but I think it was to do with RAM clearance. One day I might just replace this heatsink with a smaller one but cba right now. The temps are absolutely fine with one (I ran furmark and prime95) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 So on the website this is what the steps look like But they've done all that since this morning. Hopefully it's fine but the thing that makes me concerned is how they did a 24 hour test in under 24 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 They are just checking the steps off after doing a bunch of them at once probably Like, I don't know what Scan's reputation is for prebuilts. I've bought components off them before, but never a whole machine. But I've not heard of issues with them and I don't think there's anything here that sounds that alarming. But if they do fuck it up, you have warranty But anyway, it doesn't take very long to build a PC if you do it as often as those dudes edit take pictures on arrival. It will have a plexiglass like the picture I have up above. Take a picture, take the glass off and take another picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine. getting excited now Are you ready @one-armed dwarf soon I'm going to whoop your ass at GG 5 frames faster than I normally do 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It won't be hard, I've not been playing the game at all. I'm in the MMO phase of my maladaptive gaming addiction. If something happens faster than a 2.5 second GCD window it will boggle my mind Millia is lower tier on PC tho, cause those 5 frames matter way more to her opponents than to Millia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I think me and you have the same case @one-armed dwarf. Mines in all black though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Well that's not my case it's my bros, but yeah everyone buys this one I think. Jimbo has it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Everyone had that case for a while. It's a good case, looks the business and has decent cable management. My pc is being woefully neglected, I haven't done anything on it other than play boardgame arena (which I could just as easily do on a laptop or tablet).

Maf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Whoa shit it turned up out of nowhere I was expecting the door to be my mum’s Christmas presents then a guy is coming up the stairs with this fuck off box I can’t do anything with it though because I don’t have a keyboard or mouse. I thought I ordered it with a keyboard and mouse 🙁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Take that plexiglass fucker off and take pictures. And take a stroll down to maplins, or whatever you uk people have, and buy a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse Or don't, maybe it's unsafe cause of covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maf Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 What do we think all look good? I ordered a mouse and keyboard for the 21st. Best I can do. I really thought it came with it. Must have been another shop when I was messing around with orders It’s got a billion ports as well. This shit is scaring me 😆 Spoiler 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Maf, do me a favour. Could you take a closer picture of that elgato. Cause I've been trying to fit mine into the larger pcie slot but it looks there like it can fit in the smaller one? I had to take mine out cause of it Or do you just have 3 pcie-16 slots on that motherboard? edit nevermind I can see it, he has 3 pcie 16 slots there. Next time I do a CPU Mobo upgrade I'll get something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks, man 🙂 I’m excited to turn it on in 2 days time lol Thankfully I’ve got one more day of work tomorrow then I’m off for two weeks so I can mess around with it. See what I learn, see what it can do. Hopefully not fuck it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 BTW, don't run it on the carpet. The PSU fan can pull in dust and get clogged up (not a massive deal or anything, just runs a bit hotter. Technically that could happen with a console too I guess but this shit is more expensive). That's if the PSU fan is pointed downwards (which it should) I'm telling you that stuff cause you probably don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 No it’s on the laminate look This is my new set up (Once all plugged in). You can’t see it but behind the monitor there’s a strip running down the wall, that’s where I plug the internet in. There’s a new double socket installed behind the PC. The guy said the socket he installed has some kind of RCB thing in it so that should be safe. My mum bought me the chair for my birthday (Saved me on another expense damn this has cost a lot) I got it all ready to go. Except I forgot the keyboard and mouse.
