PSU=Seasonic Vertex Gold 1200 - it's annoying that the Prime's in usable wattage are basically unoptainable in UK / Irl.
Motherboard = Change of heart and a line through the Crosshair X670e, hello Crosshair X870E. Figured I'd have more success running 128GB with the newer board. SlimSAS = connector for my Optane drive

Stuff arriving

Can't get a vacuum seal on this combo but it is not leaking... Head scratcher.
Leak Test

I know, I know, over priced and overkill but I do have 5 NVMe drives and 128GB Ram sooooo

My Ryzen, TridentZ, Sam 9100Pro disappeared into a customs warehouse on the 9th.. Nothing heard of since. Even the courier isn't getting anywhere. Used to be that I'd be going bananas right now but I'm pretty zen. It means my SlimSAS to U.2 will be available for the build so I'll be able to keep an Optane about for i dunno, random stuff
I've even stopped myself from having a play with the X870E (have a R9 7900 here too), it'll boot with the 9950X3D or not at all.

Hope that the parts get through soon.
