May invest in a less death defying folding ladder too haha. I've put velcro on the trim and then made a panel with the opposite velcro and used it to cover and seal the opening. I've done this for attic fans to seal them for winter. works well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been lurking the site since im planning a new high end build but unfortunately I've had to go else where to look at reviews since OCC doesn't have the info on the hardware I want. Not my first choice but unfortunately i have to watch those click bait, cringey youtubers to get up-to-date info on products im planning on buying Darn, sad to hear that. What are you building? 2 hours ago, dr_bowtie said: I've put velcro on the trim and then made a panel with the opposite velcro and used it to cover and seal the opening.

Looks a lot like a build my buddy's making. He's waiting to see if the 3K series from Nvidia is worth getting or will lower the price of the 2Ks. I tried to convince him the 5700 flashed to the XT was a killer value but he's all about trying ray tracing haha. He has everything but the GPU now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raytracing and DLSS 2.0 are the future, the 5700XT is going to age very quickly. @damian swop that 5700XT for an RTX 2070 Super!

DexRain Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I'm an old timer that recently came back myself (I think I was still trying to crank everything I could out of my poor old Phenom 960 the last time I was active) Recently did some monster upgrades with all the overtime and hazard pay I've been getting lately and decided to pop back in here to get some advice on parts (and well, I missed you guys) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its alright for light gaming, but I know i'm losing 30-40 FPS compared to a Ryzen 3800X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
