Well, decided to tackle the rgb problem with my rig, was only able to get the GPU block rgb strip, next time I service the loop ill attempt the res/pump rgb, The rgb effect isn't as good without the mystic fog coolant, but just couldn't afford it this time around so, basic clear coolant will do......Both the GPU block and the cpu block were clean when I took them apart, even cleaned the jet plate before putting everything back together. But when I bled the new coolant,… See More

it seemed the rads were very clogged and it clouded the clear coolant again, but seems to be ok so far. Also added New Thermal Grizzly Duronaut Thermal Paste, changed the front rad to a push/pull by adding 2 more fans. After everything seems I dropped my temps by almost 18 degs.

First time working on my PC in my new shop

Finally someone managed to mod in VR support to Forza Horizon 6, SO amazing. Changes the entire feel of the game, I waited SO many years for someone to mod The Crew into VR, but it never happened. Track games of course were great but this is the first time driving around in an open world car game in VR.

Gave my buddy my old VR headset and he's been loving it, Got it to work in BeamNG which was so cool.

Its been a very long time, but wanted to give my editing skills a test, see if i still know how to....I'm a bit rusty but I like how it turned out.
Its crazy, its been nearly 8 years since my last edit, one thing crossed my mind, I never tried an edit with my current rig (the reason why I built it with its current platform) and my gawd, I remember my last edit, my old PC took almost an hour to render, then almost 2 hours to export, this edit, (even though its under 3 min) took 48 seconds to render,… See More

and literally a minute to export.

Well, new TV installed, I tried to find a 43 inch but nothing with the specs this one has, its WAY too good for its price, $500 CAD for a 55 inch Mini LED, 4k, 144hrtz, VRR and 800 nit peak brightness HDR. Biggest loss, is the 3 screen, yes, I still kept the other 2 for now but they wont connect together in 3 screen surround.

There was a 50 inch version, but it's strange, I have no idea why, the 50 inch version was only 60hrtz no VRR, but this 55 inch has 144hrtz VRR...

I'm finding games running way… See More

better on the Main PC, I lock most games to 1440p or 4k with DLSS, and almost every game is running well into 80-90 fps, its amazing! Kind of wonder if my FPS issues in the past was the old screens, (was running DP to DVI), or maybe the 3090 ti runs better in 4k...idk
