Seem to be in stock in europaland at least. I got the 240 model due to my Fractal Design Mini C case. Fit perfect at the front in that case.

A Dual radiator loop still seems kinda $$ - Since i plan to move back down to northern FL or AZ which has some crazy summers, id want as good cooling as possible. That is unless AZ has basements, i know most houses in FL do not. I enjoy the benefit of having a fully finished basement up here that is always cool, but i also remember my summers in Miami when playing WoW or EQ2 would turn my room into a sauna.
If worse comes to it i will use that corsair config and dump 1k into it and letting microcenter assemble it. Atleast maintaining it is a bit less daunting.

Tho i will still likely aim for a dual setup.
Good video, perhaps i need to ponder on AMD over Nvidia, but AMD drivers always suspect.

Custom Cooling Configurator | CORSAIR
Configure your custom cooling - pick your case and components and see your machine with all the compatible parts, information, and options available.

If we are talking hundreds less...I will swap. Seems that AMD has mostly fixed their driver issues. I never care about consumption, and the like, but that 400w and 12 pin connector rumor will also turn me off. I REALLY don't feel like swapping out my power supply.

It lives!
Also, while I’m waiting on things to download, install, etc. I am watching The Witcher. It’s like I’m living out some gay

Cavill fantasy. It’s awesome.
Also, the RGB shit is pretty cool, I was envisioning the LEDs from ten years ago and wondering why people would care about it. It’s not something I’d want in my face all the time but I see the appeal now.

I really need to take apart my computer and do some tinkering but I've just been so fucking tired from working way too much. I need to remember to do some measuring and get some custom cablemod cables too. I'm thinking a dark purple and black. Anyone have any thoughts on something like that and a pattern that would look good?

I'm gonna do this probably around Black Friday when hopefully we have some more information from amd and nvidia on their new stuff. I'm sure I'll be posting in here to get the most rgb possible!Come to the otherside, rgb disco the fuck out of it

Are you sure you put the ram in the correct slots? They usally go into slot 2 and 4. But depends o the motherboard also.It lives!

No not really. It said if I wanted to set up dual channel mode to use 2 and 4, otherwise use 1 & 2. Since I have no idea wtf dual channel mode is I went for 1 & 2.
How would I figure out if it’s fucked up or not?

Use 2 and 4 if you have 2 sticks. Usally bette performance then. But im no expert. Just 99% of what I've seen they put them in 2 and 4.
Also remember XMP on in bios. Almost forgot that myself.

Rule if thumb is the slots farthest from the CPU while still skipping a slot between each. A lot of motherboards color code then too

DDR5 does through a bit of a wrench in my plans, 5th gen Ryzen will supposedly support it. Perhaps i will skip this gen all together and just upgrade video and do cpu/mobo in 2022.
Or i will do it this year and give it to gf later to justify my desire to build again
Actually that make sense i dont have any PCs over 2 years old anyways.

My intent isn't to do extensions/sleeves but actual custom cables to approximate length. It's always irked me how much extra cable there is, getting them the right length should cut down on a lot of clutter their I feel

Yep. And those I linked are looooooong. I could barely get the extra stuffed in the back of the case!
