PC Surgery and Life Update
🕑 Added 2020-08-23 20:52:09 +0000 UTCNo worries, nothing was actually wrong, I'm just fine tuning :3
I recently watched a video on the proper placement of radiators, and mine were all wrong, so I spent today remounting them. If you have closed loop liquid coolers, the best arrangement is to have the end of the radiator higher than the pump, and the hose connections to the radiator need to be at the bottom. While I will say having the hoses at the top looked better, but flipping them will help with the life of the liquid cooler. Not to mention there's less noise from the pump and hoses.
I'm quite happy with the arrangement, though my next project (for another time) will be to tackle the horrid cable management. I did NOT do a good job there. But its my first PC, so I get a slight break in that department.
For those curious:
Aorus K7 motherboard (I think)
Intel i7 7700K, Corsair H100i liquid cooler
Gtx 1080, built in liquid cooler
32 GB RAM, 3200 MHz
256 GB M.2 for the OS
512 GB SSD for programs
2 TB M.2 for games
2 TB HDD for everything else
1000 W power supply
I haven't had to touch most of the parts for years, I've only swapped out storage and fans (for better RGB's of course). I am looking at a 3080 ti whenever it comes out though.
Other news: school and work
So the good news is I'm going back to art school after taking the summer off. There were summer courses, but I couldn't afford them during unemployment. Now I'm going back into it, so that'll be fun. At the same time I'm going back to work at Best Buy. Its limited hours, but I actually think I'll be there for fewer, longer days as opposed to many short days.
So far, I'm not sure how this will affect my ability to do art here. I will certainly have less time, but I also have multiple computers to do work on. Right now I may be limited to doing one poll per month, but again, I think I need to wait and see. I still have a backlog of renders to post though, so even if I don't have the time to render new things, I should still be able to post regularly.
Also, the Egg Thief pack is finished, so I'll be posting it sometime in the next day or so!
That's all for now!
