Mr. Fox

@Papusan I hope they are getting everything sorted for you. Staying in the hospital while they run tests and "monitor" things is very boring. Let us know when they let you go home, brother.

Turned out nice. Will look pretty slick once the bubbles in the reservoir dissipate in the next day or so. Although very similar in size, this case weighs roughly twice as much as the Phanteks XT M3. The chassis is structurally very rigid. I am going to find out if Svet can remove the power caps the idiots at MSI put on this board. I need to be able to pull at least 100W more from the CPU than what the firmware allows. Newsflash MSI retards... this is not a laptop.

You are like family to us brother, even though we've never met face to face. I'm thankful that they got this issue before it got you. I will include your family in my prayers because I'm sure that this is stressful for them.

I'm going to be moving my "guts" from Banshee out of the Phanteks XT M3 to an O11D Mini V2 this weekend. I'll be using an Alphacool 240 flat reservoir with a VPP Apex pump installed into the side instead of fans to keep it cleaner. Length and height are similar but the O11D Mini V2 is wider with about 1 inch more room behind the mobo tray and a little bit taller with more room above the mobo with the mobo shifted down to the lower position. Basically the equivalent of one PCIe slot taller above the mobo for added radiator/fan space. The primary motivation is material quality. The XT M3 metal is very thin and the plastic front and top panels are flimsy. I guess that is why it is so inexpensive. It's not a bad case overall, but it is a little bit chintzier than I would like. Plus, I am just an O11D addict at this point. Build quality and ease of use on all of the O11D cases is unrivaled.

You are in our thoughts and prayers, brother. Get better fast.

It was one for sure. One of the first things I said when he texted me. Pretty brazen that the scammer even had the balls to call him and speak to him. When scammers get that comfortable and brazen a bullet or knife is the best cure for their filthy and worthless existence.

Brother @tps3443 dodged a scammer bullet yesterday. Glad you were not a victim, Brother T. https://www.overclock.net/posts/29585246/ The scumbag posted the same scam on a Swedish web site. https://www.blocket.se/recommerce/forsale/item/22104267?ci=4

If you want to build one for the 5080 Prime that would be sweet in my mATX build. Then the CPU, RAM and GPU would all be custom loop in a SFF chassis, which is extremely rare. The Phanteks XT M3/V3, O11 Mini and Gamdias M4M are only a few SFF cases that are designed with enough intelligence to allow such a build. It allows you to compromise a whole lot less than SFF typically demands. I don't feel like I am missing much or making concessions/sacrifices for the sake of size.

Yes, I was subscribed. It just got buried in the ocean of subscriptions. I look forward to watching your videos.

Yes, I think that is a fair price for the world we are living in now. Hard to beat. I am pretty sure I subscribed to your YouTube channel but I don't find it in my gigantic list of subscriptions. What was your channel's name?

Doing well. I hope all is well with you and your family.

I have not seen any for pin imbalance, only overcurrent protection, which I fixed by increasing the MVP2 threshold to a higher value in the firmware.

This old lady has an excellent voice. (I say old... she is probably my age. Yeah, I'm old. So is Brother @Papusan. We're still awesome.) Touching song about the loss of her son. Edit: I take that back. She is 10 years older than me. Dang, she looks pretty good for 73. What a voice. (Yeah, it's AI but I have no reason to doubt that it is her voice or image.)

Just another A$$zeus gimmick. Different, more expensive, but not really a better product. Something shiny and new for the ROG fanboy club. At the end of the day you still have a failure-prone petite arson connector.

I let my daughter and teen grand daughters know, but they were too late for the free offer. Not my kind of game, but definitely their kind.

100% - if you're not first, you're last. They're no longer first. At least not in my playbook and mine is the only one that matters. Screw 'em... I don't care what they want or think about anything.

Another DDOS @Reciever? Horribly sluggish forum.

I remember the day that I believed that people who said Linux was the future were nuts. Little did I know their statements were a prophecy. The only thing nice I can say about Micro$lop is that I am glad it is "not my circus, not my monkey" LOL. Quite the circle jerk the Redmond Reprobates have become. It used to make me feel sad that they have become such a sucky outfit. I can honestly now say that I really don't give a rat's butt and hope that crApple and Micro$lop both end up going drowning in the cesspool they have created and choking to death aspirating their own feces. Both companies are producers of digital rubbish.

Looks this cable is just another example of overpriced A$$zeus gimmick garbage.

I dual boot but consider Kubuntu my primary operating system. Winduhz exists only as a necessary evil. My intent is that Windoze is only to be used as a temporary stop gap solution. It is unfortunate that so many people define an "upgrade" as moving to something newer. All too often newer is not better, but newer is a regression. This is precisely the situation with Windoze. Newer is not better. Windows 10 was a downgrade from Windows 7. Windows 11 is a downgrade from Windows 10. Each build update introduces things that nobody wants that only Micro$lop benefits from. More control for Micro$lop and less freedom for end users. End users are not customers. What they want is irrelevant to Micro$lop. The laziness and resistance to change of human beings is a well-established fact and it is something that has allowed Micro$lop to survive. It's easier for the average person to surrender and submit, and Micro$lop know that gives them freedom to do things that suck. People will continue using an inferior product that many of them despise because it requires no effort, even if it costs them money to take the lazy and lame path that uses none of their brain cells, requires no effort or learning, and allows them to avoid change. They will stick with what feels most familiar even though doing so it not ultimately in their best personal interest. Ignorance is bliss.
