I don't think I like you any more lol
 
:) I might have to save up for an upgrade!

What type of hateorade flavor you like🤔? I have them all🤣.
Im not upgrading till the next 4 years, right?😏
Yeah that upgrading bug got you good😁👍

P.S.:
I told you you couldn't resist hippie, ye😼

I have a valid excuse, my wife’s gaming pc is 9 years old and is struggling. So upgraded and she got all my current pc’s main guts and take offs from when I got it. -.- getting the 1440p a Ultrawide made my system struggle. Now I’m back to at least close to max eye candy in cp 2077 DLSS has to be balanced have not tried quality yet if I go play with quality and have no bugs I’m good.

If I was really feeling the itch, I would have gone with a close to premium or a premium ddr5 board and ram.

That looks awesome. Based on the picture it looks like the new board is installed. Is that correct?

Correct need to take better pictures and update my Mod Rigs, along with my score. i9 12900kF, MSI MPG Z690 Edge DDR4 board, Seagate Limited Edition Cyberpunk 2077 M.2 1TB SSD added. Still kind of bummed EVGA is not going to come out with a DDR4 Z690 board. =/

Well could not stand looking at the very over bent PCIE extensions from multiple changes to the build. Soooo this is probably my LAST upgrade I got it for 58 bucks... Will be on the hunt for a 3080 founders for my wife's pc, if I do not get one by the time the 40 series cards come I will get a 4080 or wait for the next series to come out. She only plays GW2 so the 1080 FTW2 ICX should be fine on my old 10th gen i9 and the other original hardware that came in this pc to take offs.

Well that Lian Li cable was a let down, not flexible enough, and was not going to remove my bottom fans for it. So straightened out my original extensions found my 24 and 8 cable comb tabs. Calling PC officially done now.
Here are my temps on air Ultrawide 1440p with a 12th gen I9 using an EK Elite 360 D-RGB combined with IC Diamond 24 TIM.
No nvidia Sharpen, Max to Ultra settings, Ultra Ray Tracing/Psycho Reflections, Performance DLSS, Film grain/motion blur/chromatic abbreviation disabled

Latest pics of the build, no have not had time to overclock yet.

Looks good if a little busy but the theme works for what you went for. One thing though, why is your GPU and memory fans set to rainbow puke and everything else uniform colors? lol As for the monitor yeah, I told you, once you go ultrawide there is no going back to standard 16.9 monitors.

I need to control everything with OpenRGB, or get Whirlwind FX"s RGB program to control everything from a single piece of software. Kind of just up and running with the new board, been installing to play testing games. Yeah, you were 100% right, no way I could ever go back to a regular to wide display after this... no way on earth.

Well added a kit of G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C16D-32GTRSA
With just XMP it will run at its rated speed/timing/voltages on this z690 DDR4 board in 1t G1 no issues at all. It will not even kick into gear 2. Just messing around got it to 5200mhz easily.

Wondering if I should had gone with 2x32gb 4000mhz none Samsung b-die sticks probably would be micron instead.
