figured i would try orange on for a while ... been looking at too much blue lately

hopefully my ebay speakers will be here this week and i can finish up the under-desk cable mgmt next weekend

[lavish stratus]

extremely angle.

[lavish stratus]

finished cutting the filter out of my top panel this afternoon ... my rad fans spin 50rpm more now. probably should have gone static pressure over pretty ... but oh well

[dull cloud]

Sick build imagine if the gpu had rgb

[dull cloud]

Nice thatll be clean

[dull cloud]

Ooohhh that looks rlly nice with the white

[nimble falcon]

Very clean 👌

[lavish stratus]

The pic no one ever shows ...

[naive jasper]

Looool did you paint your gpu? Cuz I did😂

[lavish stratus]

yup - i just masked off the "geforce rtx" bit - couldn't be bothered to mess with trying to line up around the MSI sheild tho

i used matte white krylon fusion - a bit more "eggshell" than i wanted. might go back over it later if i can find a whiter white

[naive jasper]

it looks good! it just blew my mind seeing a gpu that's painted identical to mine lool

[lavish stratus]

finally got around to ordering a full set of glorious white aura caps - no more mixed set

[dull cloud]

Nice

[lavish stratus]

i thought about pulling all the switches and painting the top of the deck white ... but i would have to scuff it to get spray enamel to stick to brushed alu, so nah

[dull cloud]

Oof ya

@lavish stratus hiya! you ok with us using a build pic that you posted here in our embeds about various things on the server, as kind of like inspiration images?

[lavish stratus]

sure

[autumn nebula]

great thanks

if you're curious, here's what it is

?y60gpu

[rustic gorge]

Y60 GPU clearance

The Y60 will fit graphics cards with a width of up to 75mm, however, it is recommended to install cards that are 60mm or less for optimal cooling and performance. Inspiration image credit: m1k3g3tz on Discord.

[autumn nebula]

just really loved the angle

[lavish stratus]

fwiw my gpu is 57mm

[autumn nebula]

maybe I should add that 😄

[lavish stratus]

msi ventus 3080

[autumn nebula]

i just wrote 57mm thick GPU

[autumn nebula]

wonder if I should use this image instead....

it's wider which would probably fit on the embed better, but the image I selected looks better imo. your thoughts?

[lavish stratus]

how's that?

[autumn nebula]

chef's kiss

thank you

[lavish stratus]

np

[autumn nebula]

?y60gpu

[rustic gorge]

Y60 GPU clearance

The Y60 will fit graphics cards with a width of up to 75mm, however, it is recommended to install cards that are 60mm or less for optimal cooling and performance. Inspiration image credit: m1k3g3tz on Discord, rocking a 57mm thick GPU in his Y60.

[autumn nebula]

perfect

[lavish stratus]

PSU upgraded to a RM1000x ... so ready to upgrade GPU should i feel the need.

[torn solstice]

I did the same thing, and heard the same thing, fixed mine also! Thought it looked cooler, but don’t want to damage hardware

[lavish stratus]

hoping to get the cable cleanup done this weekend

[silk crag]

Great stuff @lavish stratus! Celebrate with us? https://discord.com/channels/867820539859042384/1149676272344125502

[lavish stratus]

hoping to get the wires cleaned up this weekend ... got e-spaghetti happening right now lol

[silk crag]

I'll hold you to it ;)

[gilded lantern]

very nice

[lavish stratus]

finally got around to replacing the failing govee strip around the desk, and tidying up some of the wires ...
still need to figure out a way to put the laptop & mouseshaker under the desk

only took 7.5 months lol

[turbid abyss]

looking good!

[ancient gazelle]

So clean 🥳

[worn cargo]

What size are those monitors? I like how they neatly they align.

[lavish stratus]

The 4k is a 43", the 1080p is a 24"

[turbid abyss]

fills the space perfectly

[tight shell]

so clean, this gonna be my inspiration from now on

[turbid abyss]

his most recent round of upgrades was documented here: #1071070910989209661 message

and yes, @lavish stratus has a wonderful white setup

[lavish stratus]

when i rebuild my PC, it will be white again - the y60 will move to the HTPC spot tho

looking for something that can fit a 420mm tho

[tight shell]

how long would you say it took for this build ?

[turbid abyss]

nevermind

I was wondering if you were going to get a Y70

that 420mm requirement is going to DQ the Y70

[lavish stratus]

desk was built nov 2020, moved to a y60 in feb 22, moved to the 4k/1080p dual screen sept 23

[tight shell]

wow its been a grind

plan on adding anything else ?

[lavish stratus]

not as long as we are in this apartment - pretty much maxxed out on my available sq footage without moving to a smaller dining room table

is why i went vertical with the desk build

[tight shell]

gotcha gotcha, space is one of the biggest factors. im nerfed with a small desk sadge

[lavish stratus]

full wide shot

[tight shell]

is that a kirby guitar too haha, just completes the whole setup

[lavish stratus]

lol yeah my pink temu p-bass, with the kirby decal from etsy

[lavish stratus]

sad ... 7900 xtx is def b0rk3d ... snatched the 5700 xt out of the HTPC for some low rez forza till i can either score a new gpu or an xbox

[turbid abyss]

Good luck getting a new GPU

[lavish stratus]

right?

not sure i can ever go amd again ...

and i would need a 5080 to push 4k at what i am accustomed to with the 7900 xtx

i was looking a couple months ago at 4080 supers ... regretting not getting one now

even at the $1200+ they were running at the time

[turbid abyss]

Wait for the to 5080 come back in stock

[lavish stratus]

that is the current plan ...

[turbid abyss]

Might want to order that vented panel now

[lavish stratus]

side panel is off 98% of the time anyway

[turbid abyss]

Much cheaper solution

[lavish stratus]

well, RMA started on the 7900xtx. was not even expecting asrock to offer, so maybe win?

[turbid abyss]

Wish you the best of luck

[lavish stratus]

rma approved. had to order toners for my laser so i can print it out lol.
also ordered 3x pcie and 1x 24 pin shorty cables from ensourced, so i can get rid of some of the rats nest of psu cables in the back of my y60 when i put it back in ...

having 3 full length corsair type 3/4 pcie leads and a full size type4 24 pin, on top of 60cm extensions is a bit much back there

[turbid abyss]

Congrats on the RMA. And cable management is always nice, especially when you have fitting cables. Let me guess: you've ordered white cables

[lavish stratus]

i already have the all white asiahorse extensions - i ordered from joey so i don't have to use the full corsair leads with them anymore

[turbid abyss]

Ah, so you're going crazy short and sticking to the extensions

[lavish stratus]

well, i guess i am going to have to retire this thread soon, just ordered parts for a platform upgrade ...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dKfjb2 just for s&g i put together a list of what will end up being in this reg between new parts and what i am reusing
