An OLD MAN'S computer

[hollow frigate]

Thats old

[rain parrot]

Its surprisingly clean for being such a mess lol

[obsidian venture]

MEGA respect for using the same case my man

[ionic crag]

The case is only design to hold everything together.

[hybrid drum]

Is it really holding it together tho?

[ionic crag]

It is

[jaunty hornet]

take it to a LAN party

[civic hemlock]

Damn, Your computer looks like it would be in one of those horder TLC shows.

Spec wise it's great though

[ionic crag]

it makes it easy to swap parts

[ionic crag]

there's a reason for that foam and duct tape 😛

[bleak shore]

may god help us

[ionic crag]

Why help? A case is only design to keep everything together

[thorny garden]

And help cooling and prevent dust and to protect the components that case does none of those

[lone terrace]

yea that case does not look good for a 3090 lol

[rain parrot]

Its not really a case anymore. Its the frame of a case 😂

[jaunty hornet]

so what
it's not all about looks

[mortal ice]

Linus when he was a kid :

[split fiber]

Most of the time I would try and find a reason to continue to use old hardware or cases to prevent waste….but at this point that case is a relic and their are some decent quality cases for not alot of money nowadays that would hold that all, cool well, and look better

[mighty palm]

The case: 🌚
The parts: 🙂

[jaunty hornet]

my dad has an old pc with the exact same case

[lone terrace]

im not talking about looks

about airflow

[sullen nova]

Very neat 😎 cable ties really helped a lot

[lone terrace]

helped with tying it to the roof of the case

[jaunty hornet]

you could replace the dangling strings with tie wraps and cut their ends off

[jaunty hornet]

cooling is pretty great it doesn't have side pannels to restrict air flow

[lone terrace]

the side panels are used to direct airflow to the parts of the pc

this case has still air meaning the hot air can linger around the gpu

[ionic crag]

temps are fine

[ionic crag]

looks? Son, I don't care about aesthetics, I care about functionality 🙂

[split fiber]

Well why even have it in a case then. The case I’d say is keeping it from breathing more then a open bench test would or just the mobo laying on top of a cardboard box

[jaunty hornet]

🗣️

facts

[shut tangle]

that shit looks awsome

[thorny garden]

Yeah but I bet it all thermal throttles on idle

And it’s hideous

[shut tangle]

stay mad honestly

[ionic crag]

This is why

[ionic crag]

it does not thermal throttle even under load.

[thorny garden]

Interesting

[rain parrot]

Why would it thermal throttle? Its basically an open bench

[split fiber]

lad their are other pc cases with handles

[rain parrot]

U use it to powerlift? Man, this build is multifunctional 😎

[candid idol]

10/10

Could’ve maybe spent more money on the gpu and cpu instead of buying such a high end case

[rain parrot]

But do they have sharp edges on top that can function as beer bottle openers?

[split fiber]

[ionic crag]

Grab it by the handle and rear for best results 😉

[jaunty hornet]

clearly you have never opened an old pc case

[split fiber]

I have a few old ones from 2010 ish

pretty good for carving apples

[mortal ice]

not just fruits lol

be clumsy like me to drop it

and it doesn't end well

[red grove]

Why would it thermal throttle. The AIO has plenty of fresh air

[thorny garden]

I primarily meant the gpu it’s just in a mess of cables and no fresh air

[red grove]

Eh, debatable

[rain parrot]

You're making a great argument, but u have the worst reasoning 😂
Cables are on the backplate; no air going there. GPU pulls from the bottom and exhaust through the back. But now I see the back is completely closed off.
@ionic crag How did u even connect ur monitor to ur gpu, how hard did u bend that cable 😂😂

[thorny garden]

Yeah that thing can’t breath

[rain parrot]

Can definitely breath in. Just not out. Did u punch a hole in there for the cable? @ionic crag 😂

[ionic crag]

@thorny garden the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs have a maximum listed temperature of 93c.

it stays around 80c while gaming

and while messing with AI its around that temp.

[thorny garden]

That’s terrible for a 3090

[ionic crag]

It's within spec

[thorny garden]

Yes you don’t want them above 85 they thermal throttle at 80

[thorny garden]

[rain parrot]

I love the classy curl at the bottom of the mounting bracket of the GPU. Not just saw it off, no no.. classy curl 😎

[thorny garden]

Okay I was wrong it thermal throttles at 90 but you still don’t want them near that

[ionic crag]

if you don't know what you're talking about it's best not to say, but I do have much respect for you admitting about being wrong. I'll give you a medal 🥇

In the datacenter there are 3090's that are running at 85-90c for years

They're fine. As long as they stay within spec. You don't want to exceed the spec. For example take a look at how hot an Athlon XP can get before it cooks itself.

Thats older tech but they can't handle as hot as temps

[thorny garden]

Or how hot a 13900k runs

[ionic crag]

that is a fine example under full load

[thorny garden]

100c under load with a 360 rad

And that thing is fine

[rain parrot]

Left: If Sarge worked in a datacenter
Right: the new intern cleaning things up

[thorny garden]

Lol

Facts

[red grove]

Color coding! genius!!

[languid brook]

the right image makes me so happy. this has seriously made my day. Thank you for this image

[ionic crag]

now that is toasty

[winged prism]

its awfull

its gonna catch on fire

[red grove]

No it’s not lol. There are thermal protections to keep it from going any higher.

[thorny garden]

If I were sarge and wanted to go to lans and just want practicality I would just get a 5000d airflow and make some handles for it lol

[red grove]

Why not get a case with carying handles

[thorny garden]

Cus 5000d and 4000d are the best cases on earth if you don’t want them get a rog helios

[red grove]

Debatable

Case is a big personal preference

[woven citrus]

Fractal Meshify 2 is the best case on Earth

[thorny garden]

NO THAT IS THE WORST CASE

[woven citrus]

Your opinion is INVALID

[jaunty hornet]

facts

[thorny garden]

Meshify 2 is literal ewaste

[red grove]

What are your sources

What the hell makes it ewaste

[thorny garden]

The looks (which that is opinion) but then just the quality the airflow is good though

There have been cases of them literally collapsing because of bad quality

[red grove]

Again, source?

[woven citrus]

Bullshit

The only thing wrong with the meshify 2 is the price

But thats why the focus 2 exists

[hybrid drum]

What if a cable becomes faulty, u have to take all the zip ties and stuff down to replace it

If you don’t have them in the first it’s way easier

[rain parrot]

Or you do it the Indian way
