Got the RAM over the weekend after yet another photo editing session using up all 16gb of RAM I currently have. Nice set of 32GB 3600MHz CL18 from Corsair in White, perfect for the build next year, and will work in my current setup to give me more head room for the time being! Best part, only cost me $165!!! Cheap as for what it is!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another great deal I couldn't pass up! Hoping everything is ready today, then I can set up the new mobo, cpu, and RAM. Get windows resinstalled, and get the other stuff up on marketplace so I can get heaps of bots and low ball offers on 2nd hand PC parts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drama at all with the rig and runs great! Couple stress tests has yielded no crashes so far with the OC'd RAM, 66°C on the CPU after a 20min prime95 stress test. GPU is hot, always has run hot - buts that's what happens when you buy an AMD card I suppose. I have a 1440p monitor, couldn't really play any games at 1440p previously but seems to handle it okay now. GPU is not the best for it, but getting a solid 50-60 fps playing Hell Let Loose so can't complain, if I wanted high FPS I could always reduce it to 1080p. Quick Specs: Case - Fractcal Design Meshify 2 Compact Mobo - MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max CPU - Ryzen 7 5700x Cooler - H100i ELITE Capellix RAM - Corsair Vengance 32GB 3600MHz CL18 running at 3866MHz GPU - MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB PSU - Corsair RM650X (650W) Completed Rig Shot I need to get another QL120 fan for the rear I reckon to make it complete 👌 Also got the opportunity to calibrate my monitor with a new calibration tool from sypder, the SpyderX Pro. Had used the sypder2 before and it sucked. Its too old to be useable nowadays. Some pretty good results if I'm honest. I bought the monitor for the colour accuracy more than anything. Bit of a downgrade from my previous monitor in terms of accuracy, but I really missed having a low latency monitor. This one is also 165Hz Used software called DisplayCAL over Datacolors own. Much better UI and better results due to its superior calibration techniques. Its open source and has a lot of data to work off of. Some progress pics here if anyone wanted to see. Should have taken a pic of the final cable routing because its a work of art 👌👌 Something really satisfying about making the cable routing neat and tidy.

A new 8GB model is being released and there is more to the story than just the memory capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
