So I have had a few changes to my main build, things have transformed at home needing a PC for the little ones for school. I lost a monitor and gained another 1680x1050 panel for my secondary. Not the 1080p I had before but it will do. I need to update the crap out of my log here but just havent had the time and at that upgrades are going to be dead in the water for the foreseeable future for now due to a list of factors that comes with the current Human Malware issue going on. Review products and writing are basically dead in the water and all funds have to go to just getting by since everyone lost their income in our home. The hardest of which are our massage business, we dont know if we will be able to recover it after this. . . Only time will tell.
More changes made and a few more to come.
Just need to get a AIO for the GPU and I think I will leave it alone at that point.
Reviewed the Viotek GFT27DB and NZXT HUE 2 Ambient Kit V2, they go well together and the light is nice.
A closer look at the inside, the Gigabyte RX 580 8GB was only in for the Viotek GFT27DB review for the Freesync features the monitor has.
Most of the parts in my build minus 2x256GB ssds and a 1TB WD Black that is not in the photo.
Piecemeal Review Box
This is my main build which is constantly changing because of SSD, AIO and other reviews so hoping to get a test bench set up soon so my main build can stay solid for longer than a week lol.
CPU is set to 3.9GHz @ 1.35v // 30c(idle) - 63c(peak)
GPU is set to 1450core - 7700mem // 45c(idle) - 78c(peak) maxed voltage and power limit sliders stock vBIOS.
Second build on the left is:
CPU - R3 2200G (CPU OC 3.8Ghz 1.38v /// 1500Mhz iGPU OC 1.2v SOC, 1.3v iGPU)
Mobo - Strix B350-F
RAM - OCPC 2x8GB CL19 2666 set to 2866 14-14-15-15-32
PSU - EVGA G3 850
Case - Segotep Phoenix
Cooling - IDCOOLING AURAFLOW X 240
A few things are a tad over kill in the second build, it stands as my case review build and when its not being moved between cases it serves videos to the house mainly and every once in a while the wife plays Diablo 3 on it which is why its Overclocked from cores to iGPU.
