Got my new case yesterday and immediately moved the components over. It was a bit tricky figuring out the best way to run cables to keep things neat, considering this was only my second time putting a PC together. But it turned out great. The Samsung 980 Pro M.4 is BADASS (I upgraded my storage , BTW). Holy hell, that thing moves files at insane speeds.

Now I am fully satisfied with temperatures and performance of the computer. Or am I?

Plus the game patch and drivers. Since it's EA, you probably have to purchase the update and patch.

Pictures of the new case. Planning to get a stand so that it doesn’t sit so close to the carpet.

Cabling looks good. I would route the cable from the cpu block using the mosfet heatsinks to hide it.

I have this NVME and it's amazing! it's only 500gb, but it's for my boot. Then a 1tb Samsung 970 Evo for games.

It does really bug me. But will do! Didn’t think of that. Tried my best with the rest of the cabling.

Can’t wait for Farcry 6 next week and enjoy those sweet sweet quick loading times.

So upon closer detail to my case. I realized that I didn't order the wrong one. Came to realize while mounting the fans and seeing how only 2 could be mounted both top and front, and I clearly remembered reading on the specs about 3 on each side. Plus two on the bottom. I thought maybe I messed up ordering on the app.

Went back to the app and looked at the charges, and I got charged for case that I thought I was getting, not the one I ended up getting.

The difference between them is by two numbers in serial numbers. Since I already threw away the box, I'm trying to get refunded the price difference at least. Kinda bummed out but this case works great too, improved airflow, and better cable management than the last one I had. Attention to detail lacked in me.

Steam is having a sale for Warner bros published games.

Grabbed the Arkham Batman trilogy and the whole FEAR collection for 10 bucks each.

FC6 gets released in 3-ish days time.
I haven't played a game on my PC for a while now. I'm looking forward to having something to play. I do like Ubisoft's open world games for the most part.

Beat me to it. I'm so pumped to play FC6. Then Open Beta for Battlefield 2042 on the 8th.
