In pursuit of happiness ( never ending)

I would like to be honest I started building computers November 2019 and since then have built many many many computers and it’s become my only true hobby. so if your counting I’ve been doing this for like 2 years now, that’s it. I went from shooting heroin for 4 years everyday, to being in a Massachusetts DPH commercial for substance abuse because I’ve been clean for 8 years now. It’s Been a massive journey and a huge undertaking is really an understatement but that’s not what I’m getting at. Build got me to be happy again, to realize that there is a life other then getting high. When I started build I was in a situation where I was always stressed, had no friends because years before I got rid of everyone I new because they weren’t friends, they just used me for money and yea you can get the picture. Well I stumbled upon Linus tech tips, jays two cents, bitwit, and gamers nexus. Since stumbling on them in 2018 I went completely crazy and little did I know that fallowing year would be a build fiasco. I started by buying a prebuilt, junked it by buying all new parts and slowing changing them out until not even the case was the original computer so yea my first build lol and I just went from there relizing that build is what was fun for more, not the gaming part. Then I found bench marking and ln2 cool and I bought the ekwb cryo cooler for a 10850k and 10900k I had. After starting to build I very quickly realized, my brother had been building since the late 90s so I approached him to find out I had a perfect pipeline in to getting parts cheap and when I need them. I can not divulge what he does or who he works for because he would kill me. Any ways I found that this was my true number one hobby and i found that it took my depression and anxiety always and made me happy again and help with a lot of physical and mental health problems I was dealing with. So yea I won’t say anymore leave it way that but just know people that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, I’m and ex addict 0f 21 years of use. If I could get clean and stay clean now for a little under 9 years then you can do it to. Good luck and you can contact me if you wanna talk. I love to talk.

I am doing testing to see how well the noctua d15 can handle the 5950x and once I get my ice giant in the mail I think that’s what it’s call but I’m gonna run that and then after that I have new a new barrow cpu waterblock pump for small form factor builds and I’m gonna try to make and extremely small build with my 3090 and 5950.

So if you haven’t noticed, I am taking all parts for the many build I’ve done. I keep all part I have. I have been reviewing parts and righting articles for a website for the past two years. I’m not allow to say the company as yes, they use my material under another’s name and because of it they do not want to be named as talked about and any and all attempts to divulge will be seen as an act of termination. Yea all I gotta say it at least it not a full time get this done now job lol. Anyways I’m working to build a channel under mane name of the amazing adventures of coilboii, tech, sports, life style, diy, home improvement, and etc. hence coilboii I jump around from topic to topic and I speak about any and all topics that come to mid but the Chanel will be split up. It is a work in progress and I will let people know when it is ready to be launch. Estimated around June. So anyways this my quest to cool my 5950xand 3090 without any problems. See I was going for style, (rog cases are thermally junk) this new 5000d is supposedly the best of the best so I’m here to be the judge as I will be going all air cooling with this. Every build I have every done beside the sff build I did with the redux, although it was changed to a ek aio lol, they have all be water cooled with a custom loop or a aio 90% a custom loop. So yea here is my attempt to cool these parts buy ysing air and seeing if the d15 can handle the 5950x like it did the 3950x. So without further ado, here is my build, please ask questions if you’d like.
