Description
I accidentally dropped my thermal paste on the mobo CPU VRM :( I will have to get it covered or removed. Wires can be banded up later. This GPU desperately needs support, working on some ways to get it lifted.
It's good for my physics simulations and gaming.
CPU is really fast, kind of insane this exists. 4.9GHz stock and 5.3GHz OC. I run with a slight overclock of 5.05GHz with ease. GPU is less impressive. barely makes 60FPS with everything maxed out on 4k. I think I will upgrade down the line. (Also VRAM is not enough!)
Got most of the components with really great deals. Pretty happy about it :)
Could do better with the PSU. 850W would be ideal since 750W is barely making it. Didn't think this would draw this much power.
Overall very happy about my first PC XD.
Part Reviews
CPU Cooler
Not too impressive. Sometimes makes some noice
Thermal Compound
Seems to work very well as expected.
Motherboard
Very good board for the price. Great features, good enough VRM for the money.
Memory
Got this thing on such low price lol.
Storage
Good SSD for entry professional work
Storage
Very fast SSD for the price.
Video Card
Amazing card for the price. I think it's the best 3080 for the value.
Case
The bottom plate cannot be removed easily. Almost had to tear the whole thing down to make room for 2 extra fans. Don't expect this to fit 7 fans very easily.
Power Supply
Ok PSU, but there are better ones for the price, namely 850Ws.
Operating System
Works well. Upgraded to Win10 pro for free.
Case Fan
Not very quiet. Sometimes fans can be displaced and look strange while spinning and make a lot of noice.
Monitor
Good entry-level 4k screen. Great color gamut, good latency, lots of features. Very competitive.
Mouse
Very customizable and comfortable. But could be better aesthetically. Too much "gamer looking" but not a lot of RGB. There are better options for both minimalism or gaming.
Custom
Cool looking, comfortable, great response, satisfying clicking sounds. Perfect keyboard to me.
