I know it’s tedious and painstaking, but I want to try my hand and making my own custom sleeved cables. Does anyone know where I can find just regular black 24-pin ATX connectors in male and female? No wires, just the pins and blank connectors. For that matter 8-pin EPS connectors as well as...

i bought this case for $40 for a build and I noticed in a demonstration shot this pci-e cable cover. Does anyone know where I can get it or something similar from another manufacturer??

Also just got an email for a $20 MIR ZON THE 2060 I got...so ended up paying $259 for it with 2 free games...nearly unheard of.

Really couldn’t be happier with my choice. Snagged an RTX 2060 for $269 on Newegg with two free games a couple days ago so I didn’t have to settle for the 1660ti. Ended up choosing the 2600 so I could get a better GPU. I have a month to decide if I want to keep the 2600 or upgrade, plus now I...

RTX 2060 went on sale at Newegg for $279 so I spent $10 more than the 1660ti and got it :)

I just read that after I bought it I’ll probably keep this board til I want to push my OC higher then buy an X570 when they’re a little more stable. Then swap this board in to my HTPC. Nonetheless I’m happy with my purchase.

Now to decide if I’m going to go R5 2600 or 3600...I don’t need it but I like new things :ROFLMAO: And to figure out what bios this board is gonna ship with...I don’t have another AM4 chip to flash it. Could be the ultimate asshole and buy the 2600, flash it, return it, and buy the 3600...but I...

Ended up going with the Gigabyte Aorus M B450. I like the 8+3 VRM design and cooling and was a more feature-filled mATX board.

So I think I’ve settled on the b450 Aorus M... Any idea if this will have the F40 bios out of the box to support Ryzen 3000?

F*#k it. I'm finally doing a Ryzen build. Likely going to be a R5 2600 since I really don't need more than that with what I do. I don't need PCI-e 4.0. I don't need much, really. A little overclocking headroom would be nice. 1-2 M.2 slots. And really since I won't be doing multi-GPU I really...

Will I be able to use a freesync monitor with it? Obviously thats an AMD feature but Ive seen it possible in some videos (maybe unofficially)..

This. Case and airflow are non-issues. Case has 5 good 120MM fans and CPU is under water. I think I’m gonna sell the 580 and go with the 1660ti...

What do you guys suggest then for 1440? Do I need to step up to a 5700? Or a 2060? Also, I doubt there are water blocks available for the 5700 yet.

I don’t claim to be a GPU expert but can anyone tell me if the 6GB vram is going to be an issue running 1440p? Current GPU is 8GB but I’m on 1080p currently...

So my RX580 is giving me some trouble regarding heat as well as the fact that I want to upgrade to a 1440 monitor. I think it’s time to go. I tossed around the idea of putting it under water but there is no full coverage block for this specific XFX PCB. I can sell it locally for $120-150 and...
