Got my Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 set up!



This build was seriously tough!! I know SFF builds are usually tough, but with this case, I had to be very meticulous with cable management and the hoses for my AIO. I went with the be quiet! AOI as Optimum Tech did a build with it and it seemed like the best choice. I'm not sure if a low profile air cooler would have been more efficient or not. People mention noises from liquid coolers being bottom mounted, but frankly, all I can hear is my GPU fan.

The Corsair SF power supply's cables are a god send. They are seriously amazing when it comes to routing since they are small and thin. Much better than the Asus PSU I had.

My only 2 complains about this build were the cable management and the PCI-E riser being a Gen 3 when my motherboard and GPU are Gen 4. That was a pain to get set up. Luckily I disassembled my old PC and used the 1080 to get it booted, then switch the settings to work with my other card.

I plan to get a mesh panel for the side the GPU is on as as the thermals rise about 10 degrees with the glass on. Other than that, I love this build! It's very cool and minimalistic. And despite being challenging, I enjoyed it a lot!

Correction, it was the AIO cooler fan that has been the source of noise. Got it tweaked!

I am playing through CP2077 a second time for want of anything else to play but I want something new to play.
I am considering Death Stranding. Open world, much to explore (yay!) but some reviews paint it as a walking sim without much to actually do. That might be a good thing, I don't know.
Can anyone here lend their opinion on said game?

I've gotten pretty good! The only problem with the Blitz mod is, the AI difficulty is almost reversed. Expert and Hard may make the individual units more damage resistant, but their aggression is very minimal. On the opposite, Normal and especially Easy are very aggressive and use... annoying tactics. Still, I love playing it!

Dying Light 2 where are you?


How about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
Admittedly I was disappointed by this trailer. I rarely watch trailers full screen but for this I did and 1440p. Showed nothing but anticipation has been tickled. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the previous installments.

MomHawk gave me new Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard for Christmas. Great keyboard!

The Chroma pulse thing where it lights up based on the game sounds is cool as well.

I was not familiar with this AIO and was about to comment, but watched OT's vid and saw the inline pump, good on you boys. Very nice build.

I didn't know of it either. Otherwise I was going the cliche Corsair route. But when he posted the build I knew it was the one. Plus it's super quiet!

I have been using my Steelkeys 6g for....mmmm...10 years? Maybe more, maybe less. They certainly aren't making this model any more. I dread the time when I have to buy a new keyboard. There is no way of making an informed decision give the 4.7 squillion different keyboards out there.

I like this site https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ because it seems very comprehensive and informative but once again it doesn't really help when having to choose a keyboard to buy. One can't test drive all of them.

P.S. I have found a review for the Steelkeys 6g from 2007. Wow! My keyboard is holding up well. Some of the keys have had the white symbols worn away but that's the only sign of wear that I can tell.

Death stranding gets so boring so fast. If you play it, play it like a linear story game to enjoy it.
