I wasn't going to hook up the LEDs, but curiosity (he's a sod he is) got the better of me.  So I got some Phanteks "Neon" strips. That is supposed to be white.

I couldn't give a shit about the noise, I'm just not sure the people around me at work agree  Still, benefit of lockdown I suppose. Jem just tunes it out  IBM Model M (well, Unicomp clone) 4 lyfe. I have considered getting a "linear" switched keyboard though (I think it's linear) - Cherry MX Browns are supposed to be quieter? |

I've got 8GB of 2133MHz RAM in my machine and was vaguely considering upgrading that to 16GB as it wouldn't cost all that much but, realistically, would I see much in the way of benefits? I wouldn't need it for any day-to-day stuff as it's not like I'm doing anything at all intensive so it really comes down to gaming; is it likely the amount of RAM I've currently got is actually presenting any kind of bottleneck? The other important components are Core i5-7400 3GHz and GTX 1060 6GB in case that matters. |

The low price is why I was considering it, but if I'm not going to see any benefit then it would still be spending money for nothing so no point really. |

You'll always benefit from more RAM eventually. Faster RAM will help in a few scenarios too, where memory bandwidth is important. |

When you say upgrade do you mean adding a pair of the same stuff so you're on 4x4? From my memories of this kind of thing that'd be the thing to do if you have the pair of slots available. But they're distant memories... |

Which isn't a problem in itself, but if I'm not going to get any appreciable gaming benefit from it then I'm not bothered. |

Forgot to post a celebratory pic of my 2070 fitted, and me finally solving the issue that has been plaguing my rig since I upgraded it.  I haven't wired up the RGB yet, because it needs yet another adapter. The amount of different RGB that exists is troubling FFS. I also discovered that the rig wasn't stable. Like, under heavy loads it would crash. It's been sorta doing that since I initially built it, and I went through three vertical ribbons trying to eradicate the problem. After stripping down most of the wiring (which took me about a month) I finally discovered that the two ground cables that go into the 8 pin extension for the GPU were loose, and that is why it was unstable.  As you can imagine it was tons of fun. Especially with so much electronics wedged into it. I left it folding for three days, and with the WUs it had it was fine. So now it is going to be my server, given it's rammed full of PCIE hard drives and uses a metric ton of lanes. I also forgot to post the spec of Mike Tyson. AMD Ryzen 3950x Asus TUF X570 16gb 4133 8 Pack ram (clocked to 3600 with 14 timings) Lian-Li PC-O12WX Midi-Tower Case EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti KingPin Hybrid Limited Edition ASUS ROG STRIX 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply Patriot Viper VPN100 M.2 2280 PCIe 256GB SSD (VPN100-256GM28H) (Windows) Patriot Viper VPN100 M.2 2280 PCIe 1TB SSD (VPN100-1TBM28H) Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SATA M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-PS Black Edition - 120mm PWM (8) CableMod PRO ModMesh Cable Extension Kit - Carbon Phanteks Universal PWM Fan Hub - Black BitFenix Alchemy 8pin PCI-E extension 45cm - Grey/Silver BitFenix Alchemy Molex Extension Adaptor 45cm - Grey/Silver BitFenix Alchemy Molex to SATA 45CM power extension - Grey/Silver Noctua NT-H2 Thermal Paste (3.5g) der8auer RYZEN 3000 OC AIO Mounting Frame (pre order, still waiting for that) Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCI-Express High Performance Sound Card - Retail Phanteks Halos Lux 140mm RGB LED Fan Frame - Aluminium Gunmetal Grey Phanteks Neon Digital RGB LED Strip Combo Set (400mm x 2) Phanteks RGB Controller Hub for Digital RGB LED The only other thing it needs are some feet. It came with rubber pads that all ripped off about ten minutes after I got the case.  So my buddy machined them from 10mm black acrylic. It should slide around on the carpet nicely now
