Wanted USB-C as I am a stickler for making backups and clones, and have occasional need to use a CD/DVD drive. Also wanted liberal airflow. Thinking ahead on GPUs and MSFS settings.

I have 2 new fastest hard drives they make onboard on the motherboard - just installed the second one - 1tb each If I ever need to use a dvd I would open the side panel connect to do my thing then un connect it and put it back in the closet 🙂 I dont use them anymore really Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Richard Sennett Rich Sennett
August 23, 20205 yr That 1070 TI looks lonely in there. Much due to the completeness of the MSI Z490 Wifi MOB.

August 23, 20205 yr I'm still rocking an antec sonatta 3 with new internals. Two quality fans and keepnit cool enough. But this should give me a new reference as to the size of any future case. MSFS, NaviGraph Charts & FMS, Pilot2ATC, FsHubR5 3600X ,RTX 2060S, 32GB, SSD
August 23, 20205 yr Reports are going round that the 3000 series runs HOT HOT due to the new GDDRX memory and needs better cooling that will push the price up. Raymond Fry.
August 26, 20205 yr https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/geforce-rtx-3090-gets-24gb-gddr6x-and-geforce-rtx-3080-to-have-10gb-gddr6.html They should throw in a PC case for flagship 20GB next year, time to buy some HP case fans. Raymond Fry.
August 26, 20205 yr I'm glad that I still have my Xeon server with its Lian Li V2120 case: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/lian-li-pc-v2120/ I wonder if they still make an equivalent case? If not, time to scavenge the old beast.
