This is the result of the continued gradual madness leaving off from the last revision. Out goes the 3060ti and in goes a 3080ti. With that I had to up the wattage because 550W was no longer cutting it. 550 G2 goes out and in comes a slightly newer and considerably smaller 750 G3. The cables were interchangeable so the swap was straightforward.

All is well and dandy until I make the dumbass decision to chase high refresh rates while still running 4K. The R5 3600 proved sufficient up until this point as I was severely limited by my CPU at this point. Goodbye 3600. Hello 5800X.

H7 wasn’t cutting it with cooling the 5800X. My friends convinced me to go D15. To clear the second D15 fan I replaced old RAM kit and bought some with low profile heatspreaders. I also swapped out all of the case fans for Fractal Aspect 12 and 14s. I have since swapped out the PSU for a P6 1000W.

I’ve gotten even deeper into keyboard hobby. I’ve retired the GMMK Fullsize with Gateron Yellows for a Custom Mod 003 build with Aqua Kings. It has Everglide Aqua Kings + Lubed Zeal Stabs + Tape mod + PE Foam. I stickerbombed the back weight to match my PC.

I traded the 5800X and bought an open box 5800X3D since.
