I think dice's tombstone will read: lived a long and happy life surrounded by RGB :D

pretty nice thou :)

Well mine arrived at 12:30 and were up and running again, needless to say the side panel was an absolute breeze and generally looks much more tidy. I also finally put in the GPU support bracket after it sitting next to the PC for the last few months lol :D

PC is also a lot quieter, the old psu was well grubby after 9 years use, so it was the right move.

Quite possibly XD


But actually you cannot see the PSU in the 5000D, I got it mainly for the Platinum rating and top tier build quality :)
 
My only concern with mine as my older one was pretty old by todays standards, was that the rmx has three pci-e cables but two 6+2 on each cable, so I was unsure if using one was safe or just use two instead so figured use one first.

Oddly given the fact i'm on a ryzen 1700 my GPU score went up in 3dmark by a few hundered, seemed to cope fine with 335watts going into it :)

The bracket on the other hand i'm unsure about might have to tinker as when it's 100% load and doing RT the fans seem louder than normal compared to before, but at least the card is level now :)

I was on a budget otherwise i'd most likely have got a top end seasonic platinum maybe the one with the cable box that would run up the back kinda like the idea of that, but case is real nice and tidy now and only having one cable goto the GPU even thou a basic black cable doesn't look nearly as much of an eyesore, so happy for now with it all :)

for £90 the rmx was a pretty sweet deal some of the others around that price didn't seem anywhere near upto snuff tbh
 
The end result of my recent spending spree :D

I don't do RGB as a rule but will confess the lighting effects produced by my 3070 AMP Holo have grown on me :cool:
 
Looks good other than the god awful placement of power connectors on the GPU.

Gotta love the 3xxx series eh *eyes roll* Literally the worse place you could put the power connectors on a PCB.

Still, fortunately it doesn't look so bad in the flesh, you kinda look through the eye sore after a while lol.
 
Yeah I must admit even the EVGA 3080Ti with it's 3x 8Pin doesn't look good even being on the end of the card.

Probably would look better with the CableMod cables but I am not paying that much for cables alone at the moment since, my next card probably won't require 3x 8pin but a 12 pin or 2x 8pin.
 
32" LG Nano IPS 2560x1440 180Hz 1Ms and G-Sync compatibility, Pretty snazzy and honestly more up my alley than an ultrawide, Going on my vesa desk arm.

Terrible meme, I know. But after reading the reviews, I'm gutted I can't get one at the moment. I think my H100 is on its way out because I can't run any games without it sounding like a turbine after a few minutes so I'm done with AIOs and moving back onto air cooling with the Torrent and an NH-D15 chromax.
I may do a custom loop in it at some point in the future, once finances are better anyway.
 
Sold some bits and bobs that were in my storage cupboard and got 1 of the last finishing touches for my mainly white and red build from Cablemod ^_^

If your signature is correct and running an 1700X, your H100 shouldn't spin up and sound like a turbine. Then something is wrong.

I have an 3700X and even during gaming, my 240 is so quiet. I can't even hear it at all, all I hear is the fans on my GPU ramping up. Never had any issues with my AIOs, other than some small pump noise.
