not much updated internally since last pic except the newer RTX 3080 Ti.

getting closer to time for a full dismantle and cleaning about a year into use.

slight update, found my missing Intel mounting standoff after a year or so stuck to pump's magnetic OLED mounting.

helping is linking/redirecting them to a thriving community of PC enthusiasts instead of leaving them stuck here with those who seem to not have much of a clue outside of "PS vs XBOX?".

and even those forums are too much of a ridiculous mess these days because you guys can't/won't keep threads in any type of decent order anymore. sure, Console Wars should have threads just advertising for, or commenting on, cross-platform games with no mention of platform whatsoever.

and this is definitely not a healthy PC community with new posts maybe reaching ~5-10 at most a week.

"people smarter than you and I" is not an insult to you unless you are insinuating that Bassman was also insulting themself.

or are you insulted that this member was implying that the two of you may share similar intelligence? that would be more of an insult coming from your own end.

and this place is dead due to it's pointless articles, it's mainly favoring highly marketed games from only the top corporations and basically ignoring anything on the indie or lower budget side, and the lack of moderation and structure in their forums.

always interested in something that brings better performance in multiple scenarios.

whether or not i will be using a 12th gen is doubtful though. my 11th gen on a Z590 is everything i need now and more than likely for the next 3-4 years. but we'll see if games improve their tech enough and need any more horsepower over that short period of time that an upgrade to later gen/series will be necessary.

i'm really surprised the order wasn't cancelled on the retailer's end long before this time. i may be wary of dealing with them from now on if they're really not tracking orders and keeping them up-to-date.

i might find six weeks acceptable considering the shortages of random products over the last couple years but would probably look elsewhere anyway.

where are you ordering from that wait times have been so crazy?

old shot i just found from my playthrough of Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

would really love to see a sequel or even a large expansion for this game, it was a great & beautiful game.

was still using the disappointing RX 6700 XT. MUCH better performance now, that i've been waiting for since the RTX 3080-90s first dropped.
