peak roostBOT
modern tiger
yeah its blowing out air
slender charm
I doubt that
modern tiger
it is
slender charm
can also feel like it's blowing out even when it's pulling in afaik
modern tiger
true. ill check it out later
slender charm
you can see the grille in that picture, it's almost certainly backwards

@modern tiger this is nearly identical to what I’m planning to build, how is it running so far?
Also if you happen to have a parts list I’d love to see it
modern tiger
<@378970854400458754> this is nearly identical to what I’m planning to build, ho...
oh nice! it's running amazing. 200+ fps max settings in nearly all games at 1080p
lilac bone
I’m building it for 1440p, shouldn’t be too much of a difference
modern tiger
i can send the list in a bit but i have a asrock z690 steel legend wifi, i5 13600k, asrock rx 6800 xt phantom gaming, gskill 32gb (2x16) gb ddr4 3600mhz rgb, phanteks g360a, uphere case fans, 2tb kingston nv2 m.2, enermax liqmax iii 360mm and i think thats about it
modern tiger
I’m building it for 1440p, shouldn’t be too much of a difference
oh yeah a build similar to this will do amazing in 1440p
lilac bone
I love the lego brace 😂
modern tiger
144hz+ for sure
LOL tyyy
but yeah for 1440p i'd recommend a 6800 xt at the least if you're doing 144hz
lilac bone
The prices for the 6800xt are sky-high right now, I regret not buying at $620
lilac bone
Prices will probably come down after the 7000 series
modern tiger
yeah
lilac bone
Or at least that’s what I’m praying for
modern tiger
yeahhh they might go down but at the same time they'll probably get sold out really quick too
so be prepared
lilac bone
That case is the same one I was looking at too. Was it easy to build in?
modern tiger
uhhh
not really LOL
but its amazing for airfloe
i just had TONS of cables so it was a nightmare
but very worth ot
it*
lilac bone
Sounds like it’s not ideal for a first build, but I enjoy the challenge
modern tiger
yeah. i mean its definitely not the worst, its just really hard to get the back panel on
but yeah i'd definitely recommend it it's been great so far
lilac bone
Also that rear case fan is almost definitely backwards 💀
modern tiger
yeahhh 💀💀💀
i need to change that
i literally triple checked it but i still must've somehow put it on the wrong way
front fans are wrong too 😭
modern tiger
i got a 5 pack
they're really nice
only like $38 i think?
have a nice controller and all plug into a fan hub box thing with a sata cable
lilac bone
3 in front, one in back?
modern tiger
yeah
lilac bone
Also which direction did you put your power supply in, up or down?
I’ve seen the debate and I’m just curious
modern tiger
if you get the g360a i'd recommend just buying 1 more phanteks fan for exhaust instead of buying a 5 pack, but if you want white then buy a 5 pack of uphere fans
oh
i put the fan facing down
lilac bone
Yeah that seems to be the most popular answer
modern tiger
you generally always want to do that unless its intake and on carpet
lilac bone
Last question, have you played star citizen with the build?
modern tiger
not yet
but i have played nfs heat and bo3 max settings and both get around 160-240 fps on average at 1080p
both the cpu and gpu arent fully utilized either so 1440p fps will be about the same as what i got
lilac bone
People still play bo3? 😭
modern tiger
LOL yeah
lilac bone
I really appreciate the info!
modern tiger
yeah np
btw
dont buy a asrock board
mobo
mine had 1.5 volts on the cpu stock
almost killed my build
lilac bone
Yikes
lilac bone
I know nothing about voltage control or overclocking, but anything that kills your build is never fun
modern tiger
i got antec white cable extensions
ty
unfortunately they didnt come with combs as they were supposed to
ao beware of the possibility of not getting combs if you get those
lilac bone
Combs are functional but I don’t like the look as much
modern tiger
and if you get an asrock 6800 xt make sure your cable extensions have 3 8 pin connectors
lilac bone
Just a weird preference
lilac bone
and if you get an asrock 6800 xt make sure your cable extensions have 3 8 pin co...
👍
Connectors are so confusing
modern tiger
yeahh lol
well gl with your build! lmk if u need to know anything else or need advice
lilac bone
✅
lethal condor
Legos for the sag bracket, very awesome haha
modern tiger

lilac bone
Now we can all die in peace
modern tiger
