Still chugging with this. Added a AnglePoise lamp (Fathers day gift), new memory and fans to cool it. The lamp is pretty nice, perfecrtly balanced and quality. The bulb it came with is an LED made to look like a old incandescent bulb with 2700k color.

Looking to buy an EKWB nucleus 360 aio blackout edition whenever Amazon gets them.

Chugging? That so means something else where im from :lmao:

All else since are copies or variations

That PSU eventually needs to go, the gold-rated ones are better for especially a good build like that. But please don't get the MWE series (Cooler Master) PSUs, due to a severe reliability issue. Even an eVGA 650W gold should be good. Even though I would recommend a 700W+ gold-rated PSU. The eVGA Supernovas are the ones you should be eying for. Along with the SuperFlowers and Corsairs.

I had a Corsair gold-rated 1000w PSU coming, but it never arrived. So, I had to resort to using the old one. It's help up for 4 years so far. I'm hoping it's not approaching the end of life, though.

Darn it. So you had coming what would so well compliment the build! The problem with the white-rated and bronze-rated PSUs, likely are caps that don't last as long. A much higher chance of "capacitor plague"!

I am building a spare rig, so if this one dies, I can fire up the other and lose no work. I'll then insert the new PSU into my main rig after actually getting one.

Yep, I have spares alright! If my Ryzens end up being unreliable, I have a Comet Lake setup, with a Z490 motherboard and a Core i5 10600K.
I started getting nervous since May 18th, because I suddenly got my first 11 BSOD that is pointing to RAM corruption 99 percent. I had to take out RAM and run a 16 GB kit.

Wouldn't you know it - the PSU arrived today. I'm returning it as I don't have time to break down my system and install it. Too much going on. I can always order another when the time comes.

It's a bit of a mess in a Fractal Torrent...

Just the Machine:
recently added the Arctic CO 140 (grey fan)

Pics aren’t very good, but this is my retirement custom build from CLX…….. specs under System.

Also got 3 intake fans on bottom of the machine they forgot; they sent me the fans a week later and I put them in.

Probably attempt a wire cleanup again when winter comes. lol

My other 990Pro gets too hot since it is under my raid controller.

Nice audio setup. Clean up those wires and you'd be golden

Just kidding as I know wiring can be a challenge. I'm kind of obsessive about though. And this Cooler Master H500M helps a lot

Thanks. I'm also a photographer, so....

I call my system Red Storm. And this image (first one) is called "Blowin' in the Wind"

Details are in system specs.
