    what brother @Papusan said. basically impossible to find more than one 2.5 inch drive bay nowadays, even more so in combination with an optical drive (bay). ud have to go back a few gens and check the big DTRs of Clevo, MSI, Alienware to maaayyyybe find something along those lines.

    ahaha i have that EXACT figurine on my night stand! 😄

    oh wow thats crazy! i expected win11 to have way more market share by now 😮

    amen to that. i remember during the pandemic i was sooooo itchy to get new hardware but now i am sooo glad i didnt pay those absolutely insane prices. AM5 platform and 4090 now seems frugal in comparison 🤣
  5. jaybee83
    well now THATS a "coincidence" in timing.... 😄 but about time if u ask me, its been 6 years! and way too many niche benchmarks for mobile, office pcs, ssds, cpus, etc...

    surprise surprise, pandemic-high is over, welcome back to recession reality! 😅

    and so it begins... i was baaaarely able to fit all the boxes on our small living room table 😄 big box in the back bottom for the Neo G8, top for the Enthoo Pro 2 SSD, CPU and RAM install was a breeze. nothing really changed since about 15 years ago or vs. laptop hardware 😄 just everything way BIGGER and BEEFIER! this pic is without the mobo heatshield for the SSDs, needed to leave it off until the mobo was installed in the case due to covered screw holes. heres the mobo inside the case. the X670E Extreme is MASSIVE in E-ATX factor, so yeah....imagine what a behemoth the case is to make the mobo look so small 🤣 aside from having unpacked and checked everything and prepping the keyboard (switched out some buttons on the Ducky One III, can see the kb on the top of the third pic), thats it for building today! tomorrow ill continue with the CPU cooling and PSU 🙂 this is SO MUCH FUN! 😁 edit: fixed images

    true dat, the last bastion of standard MXM are the industry/medical/defense/automation partners that force Nvidia to support them until end of their lifecycle agreements. who knows how long thats gonna last. and even then, were talking insanely expensive Axxxx / ex-quadro cards.

    sigh, seems like the time of the great Clevo machines is over. time to go to the promised desktop land
  12. jaybee83
    added an "up to" to my previous post 😛 hahaha
  13. jaybee83
    haha wow, very unusual to see you so excited about a game release! thats awesome 🙂
  14. jaybee83
    thats also something i very much look forward to, for the 4090 to bring (up to) double the gpu horsepower to the table so we can push the new cpus more and better see whos boss and whos pretending to be one 😄

    aaaaah the good old Khenglish days....he was a total mad lad! 😄
  16. jaybee83
    aight folks, its getting serious: AiO arrived today, that only leaves keyboard and case, which are already on their way and will arrive on monday 😁 i better start reading up on that THICCCCCC mainboard manual to get prepared for the build yehaw! 🤠

    duuuuuuuuude those raaaaaaaam speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds! what voltages? temps?

    tbh, one might as well just do a bunch of kapton tape cutouts around the IHS and beneatht the ILM. might not be as "elegant" of a solution as this Noctua paste guard, but better protection including against LM and also easy to remove and redo. this was actually THE first thought that popped into the my when the Zen4 IHS was first leaked a few months ago: oh gawd, thats gonna be a mess to properly clean up after every single repaste....😅

    i can actually picture you being the new figure head for intel overclocking brother Fox, for both CPU and GPU. even if just to stick it to the green man! 🙂
  20. jaybee83
    holy crap i need this! off to the shops! edit: aw man, availability from Dec onwards....? ugh
  21. jaybee83
    aaand its here! omg its built like a friggin TANK! the whole package is 6.1 kg / 13.5 pounds, holy guacamole! if weight is proportional to quality then this is the SHIZZ! more good news on the other fronts: keyboard, case and AiO are also shipped and on their way now. means its BUILD TIME next week! w00000000000t!
  22. jaybee83
    u said it brother! form over function FTW! glad were ALL on the same page for this one /s 🤣 German Engineered Perfection 😄
  23. jaybee83
    glad im not the only one thinking that that strix 4090 looks ugly af! also, have u seen the price tag compared with other 4090 models? what is Asus thinking?!?! im going the classical approach for Arc: hope for the best but expecting the worst. i fear this might be a "one hit wonder", so to say, with basically only one low powered sku for laptops when Battlemage comes... congratz on your first sell to China! 😄 and i know EXACTLY what u mean, those idiot lowballers on fleabay are sometimes completely bonkers with their expectations... btw guys, I just got in my X670E Asus motherboard, holy guacamole! 6.1 kg / 13.5 pound package!!!! WTH 😂 but damn is this a sweet looking thing....so many accessories, cables, add in cards, etc, not even sure yet what to do with all of it hahaha. but guys, this thing is built like a TANK! the rest of the components should all be arriving beginning of next week, which means: BUILD TIME! woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    its funny, in the latest GN upload they had an interview with an Nvidia Thermal Engineer and he also mentioned Honeywell phase change TIM!
  25. jaybee83
    thanks man, appreciate your input! i know exactly how u feel, i actually told my wife that i had a bad conscience right before i started ordering parts. this because were talking about SO MUCH FRIGGIN MONEY! especially considering were looking for a new appartment, need tons of stuff for the baby, new furniture of all sorts, etc... she told me i deserved it after having saved up so much with such dedication over 3 years, so i should just go for it and enjoy! yep, id say thats a keeper... 😁 MOTHERBOARD SHIPPED! itll be here on saturday woooooooo
