From initial plan to realization the build changed a ton including a case swap (though t1 is still the ultimate goal) For anyone following along I made a new thread here.

New thread for my initial build plan which moved from here. Parts short list case ncase m1 mobo strix x570i cpu 5600x gpu 3070fe ram 32gb 3600mhz ballistix storage 500gb wd black pcie4 boot drive / 1tb wd black pcie3 storage Full parts list (with eye watering tabulation) here...

Congrats, site looks great. Noting the drive support headline should read 4 x ssd rather than "STORAGE DRIVE SUPPORT UP TO 2 X HDD AND 3 X SSD"

Well I pre ordered the 5600x from amazon back on saturday with a ship date of jan 15-21 and it arrived yesterday, seems supply isn't so bad. Gpu's on the other hand... I ended up not going to micocenter for the big navi launch as I found online there were some 130+ people in line 18 hours...

Purchased a number of parts over the past week or two and managed to get a preorder on the 5600x, going to try and get to microcenter on wednesday and see if I can't get a gpu. Hopefully then it will be a matter of waiting for the t1 and cpu to arrive.

I have a couple of questions for anyone who can help - -Am I correct in that the molex connection on the pump I've chosen needs to be modified to work with my motherboard choice ? Any articles out there on this I may have missed in my search? -Does anyone have experience with the heatsinks...

Ya same boat it seems. Currently still eyeing the gigabyte aorus 550i (check first post) but I haven't bought any actual computing hardware yet ;D though probably will have it all ordered in the next 2-3 weeks pending getting my hands on the new cpu/gpu. Right now sitting on my newly arrived...

I have a thread going with a link to a spreadsheet for build planning you might find it useful Not sure about your RAM, I think clearance depends on several factors one of which might be? which configuration you're building in (2.5 or 3 slot gpu) but Ithink more importantly things like your CPU...

Nice, I also got my t1 preorder, must have been a large window this time around. From the looks of it we'll be building at the same time ;D

If you're really set on the H1 you can make it work. There are some 3080's that fit and some are showing reasonable thermals. But if you aren't gaming and aren't rendering video or doing massive editing you should spend a fraction and get something that pulls less power and generates less heat...

$649 for the 6800xt but ya, updated my spreadsheet. Curious to see what the partners come up with though ultimately I want to water cool the GPU as well so less concerned. Was up at 6am this morning checking on the 3070 launch and seeing if any 3080's popped up but it was the same story as...

Thanks for the thorough input. 16gb @ 3600mhz seems to be a sweet spot for price : performance, zen3 aside as we don't yet know. Not considering a 3070 just hoping that the vendors/retailers have all been holding 3080 stock to release with the 3070 release. As far as a handful of frames between...

thanks devolv for the input (you're mining rig is sick), updated my spreadsheet to reflect for now 3600, sounds like additional $5 well spent. What sort of real world noticeable difference would you expect to feel at 3600 vs 4000mhz ? Twice the price for my application might not warrant the...

Hey thanks. So does the WD BLACK SN850 which is why I have it planned for the boot/front nvme slot (the one that supports pcie4). They look to have the same pricing, good to know there are options.

Split it over the 2 nvme slots, 1 being pcie4 and more than twice the price. Considered more for the second nvme but figured I could add a 2.5" drive when needed later. Maybe better to run 1tb + on the back slot to start Thanks, it was supposed to be public, fixed it.
