My New Desk Setup
I have recently moved my setup to a new desk and cleaned it up quite a bit. This post will go over my complete computer setup. Again, Mac and PC living together in harmony? WHAT??? To make it useful for both my Mac and PC, this selector changes output to either the Mac or PC…
A Short Story About My New Build…
After getting my new GPU, I was playing a few games and noticed that the GPU temps were over 80 degrees Celsius… very bad. I thought that I just didn’t have a case that had really good airflow… so, a new case I needed and that’s all I was going to get (forshadowing: it wasn’t)….
Unboxing My New Graphics Card
It’s been a while… I am back with a few blog posts this week. Going to start with the new GPU I bought in January. The RX 6750XT. The reason I upgraded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. That game requires 8GB or VRAM; however 12GB or more is recommended AND it also requires ray-tracing….
My Build: Making it More Aesthetically Pleasing
I have become obsessed with my PC Build. I love building PCs and upgrading my PC. I am a most of the time Mac user, but I do use my PC from time-to-time. Mostly for playing games. After 2.5 years at Fry’s and building over 100 PC’s, I had to have my own and it…

Learning Series: Anatomy of a Closed Loop Liquid Cooler
Since I had to replace my liquid cooler, I thought I’d make a blog post on how it works. There is a huge correlation between water cooling a PC and an engine. Vehicle Cooling Here is a car cooling system diagram. I stole it from the internet. I bet they never know… You have the…
Hardware Unboxed Did It!
They have validated my combination of CPU and GPU in this video… I have a R5 1600X and RX 5600XT. My reaction from this video is this: even a ultra-modern R5 5600X will give me no better gaming performance than my R5 1600X. It will kick it’s butt in productivity, but I don’t use my…
My RX 570 vs My New RX 5600XT
Even though I know that in next six months or so, the RX 5000 series cards will most likely be replaced with RX 6000 series cards and perhaps, the RX 5000 series will replace the RX 500 series cards as the entry-level cards. This is all speculation, but it is something that many in the…
PC Upgrades
Case I decided that I wanted to get the first case that I really wanted and should have bought when I did my build initially. I said then that if I were to ever build a PC, that this is the case. Just something classy looking about this case and I have finally been able…
