[uncut basin]

It's in the pc parts link

[drifting vigil]

damn that pc is awesome

u also managed the cables 🙂

my pc was also around the same price

[pastel stratus]

I said use case

not case

like what are you using this PC for

[uncut basin]

Thanks man 👊

[uncut basin]

Oh right on, my fault. I do game development in ue5 for college. Also a lot of gaming

[pastel stratus]

ah i assume that's why you got the 13700k then? for ue5?

[uncut basin]

Yessir, hoping it increases my render times significantly. I had a pre-built before with a 7700

I5 7400, not 7700

[pastel stratus]

Also are you reusing a previous case or why was this ur choice for a case

[uncut basin]

Nah, I went ahead and purchased a new one. This was the one that was within my budget. I also like the design and the latch that attaches to the side so you can open it like a cabinet

Unfortunately as I found out after I got it, the 4 case fans run at 100 percent all the time. Not sure how to fix it.

Looks cool, and isn't loud enough to really hear it. Just worried about the electric bill I guess

[pastel stratus]

trust me them fans are barely taking power lmao

[uncut basin]

Makes sense

My idle cpu temp is 27c though, so that seems pretty good

[pastel stratus]

I know you're just looking at temps to see the fans work but even if those said 40 or smthn it's totally normal js keep in mind ur CPU is fine until u start seeing shit like 100 and such then look into it especially with a 13700k which is toasty

[uncut basin]

I tried to use the software gigabyte installs on your pc called Intel extreme overclock, and the cpu got to 100 in 5 seconds. Turned that sht off quick.

[pastel stratus]

that seems to be the norm with 13700ks and such

get used to it and don't get paranoid by high numbers

I'd say for anything 100 and above is when it's time to look slightly deeper into it

under is fine

[uncut basin]

Right on, I'll keep that in mind.

[pastel stratus]

not saying over is bad just better to know or not

[uncut basin]

Any recommendations for 2 cheap 2k monitors?

I'm using 2 1080p ones

Preferably ones that can be hung on my stand like this
