Computer hardware is hotter than ever. Figuratively in this COVID-periode and literally when you look at the powerdraw of Nvidia’s new 30-series line-up. I dedicate myself to understanding the possibilities and limits of PC (and non-PC) hardware.
Who am I? I am an enthousiast, previously an AMD fanboy. But since I’ve learned that multinationals/publicly traded companies eventually will alway screw the consumer over that part of me has died. Now I just like to build, tinker with and repair PC’s.
My current live hardware portfolio consist out of the following:
Name | mainRig | tinkerDesign | rogLaptop | Parts |
---|---|---|---|---|
CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | AMD Ryzen 3 2200G | Intel i7 9750H | |
Cooler | Noctua U12S | BeQuiet Pure Rock | Coolermaster Masterliquid 120 | |
Case | BeQuiet Pure Base 500DX | Fractal Design Meshify C | Coolermaster Sileo 500 | |
Memory | 4x 8GB G.Skill RipJaws DDR4-3200 | 2x 8GB G.Skill DDR4-3000 | 16GB onBoard + 16 GB G.Skill DDR4-2666 | |
GPU | XFX Radeon 5700XT RAW II | MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti V1 | GeForce RTX 2060 | |
Mainboard | Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite (ATX) | MSI B450M Mortar Titanium (mATX) | ||
Storage | Intel 660p 1TB m.2 NVME SSD Kingston 1TB m.2 NVME SSD Samsung 860 QVO 1TB Seagate Firecuda 2TB HDD | WD Blue 512GB m.2 SSD Samsung 850 256GB WD WD Green 1TB HDD | Kingston 1TB m.2 NVME SSD |
So I’ve got quite a bit of hardware to play with. Which I do. At the moment I am working on a case mod with the CoolerMaster Sileo 500. This will be a “modern sleeper” although I’ll probably just build tinkerDesign into this case. Sadly I do not have a library of hardware yet to create a Ryzen 7 5950 + dual RTX 3090 build in that case. But if anyone wants to sponsor it…. I’m completely down for it.
Anyway, cool you found my website! Lets build, tinker and repair together!
