Nah, just a 10... no vertical gpu mount to show off that sexy card...
I have one but excluded it due to personal choice, also don't think it would have worked out as nicely with the distro

Yea, I also got one but can't fit it into pc thanks to AIC taking up space.

I meant to ask you how are you running that 4400mhz ram with a 5950X?

I was considering some 4000mhz stuff but doubt I could get 1 to 1 out of the clocks

Easily enough really.
I just had to bump the vram voltage from 1.4 to 1.45v or something and enable XMP and it was off to the races

Sorry, maybe I was vague. I meant what are the actual settings when DOCP is used?

What is FSB : DRAM? Mine is 3 : 54 and Command Rate is 1

This what you are looking for?
Values are a bit lower than they should be coz for some reason AMD drops my Bus Speed below 100...

 
weird... shouldn't that 1 path fill with fluid?

other than that, those EK fittings really just work
I wondered about that as well but there is an airlock there and there is no fitting in that path. it is filling up slowly. I could probably shake it around a bit to get it to fill. The build is very heavy though

yeah was actually wondering about that one as well

did see no fitting there, but surely if you were to fill the loop it should push it up there?

I know the top is like that because you can't fill that plate completely, but that seemed odd

@Random_Sheep @Ageless_ZA @andrem ?

Simple physics, water will take the path of least resistance. So if there is an airlock. it won't fill.

Should be able to crack that fitting a tiny bit @Juggy when its running and let the air escape.

Ja, I considered that as well. I will do it when I have the case open again.
 
The time has come for me to consider selling my rig, as a whole. I have 95% of all the boxes, probably 100% if I dig around. Obviously I cannot sell it in SA as I am based overseas, I am just looking for an idea of what I should be asking for in the 2nd hand market

AMD Ryzen 5950X
Asus X570 Crosshair VIII Hero
EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra
4x8GB Team Extreem ARGB @3600 14-15-15-35 (Samsung BDie)
Samsung 1TB 980 Pro
Samsung 1TB 970 Evo Plus
Seasonic TX-1000 Titanium
Corsair K70 RGB Mechanical KB
Logitech MX Master 2S
Samsung LC49RG90 49" 120HZ
Lian-Li O11 Dynamic XL ROG
Custom Cablemod 24 Pin, 8 Pin EPS and 3x 8 Pin GPU cables in black

Custom EK Loop
Acrylic tubing throughout
360PE
360XE
011 Dynamic XL Distro
Quantum Velocity Acetal AM4 block
Quantum Vector Acetal GPU block with backplate
7x EK Vardar X3M Black RGB fans

I am thinking of going Threadripper

What price are you looking at?
 
Helps very little to give all the SA prices as local prices will change the math significantly.

I did consider this, not my first rodeo :p

Just looking for an idea because to be honest, unless you are importing to Qatar from Amazon, NewEgg etc prices here locally are very similar to SA.
