That looks freakin' awesome!

I built a PC with one of those snowblind cases back in 2019. Pretty cool gimmick. I seem to remember it selling quickly. I bought it really cheap as part of a lightly used prebuilt from a local store that took it in trade and just wanted it gone. It had an 8700k and 1080ti blower card in it. I swapped the CPU and GPU for an 8400 and 2060 and sold it for $100 more than I paid for all of it. Scored a free 1080ti/8700k and still made $100 on the deal. Sorry for the bad pics, it was hard to photograph.

Yeah i really want to play with a snowblind build, but the case is so old style, i dont think i can tollerate it.
I went with the HYTE Y70 because i wanted that vertical GPU for my brother who will get a 5090. I dont want to put tension on the card due to the massive heat sinks we see now, since he doesn't like to do true custom water setup.

I bearly got away with an AIO as it is, as he was hesitant on liquid in general, but i told him a 9800X3D needs it. I lied but he's not the forum type to do research.

My current case will probably stay with me, and thats the Thermaltake Core X9. As its the only case i know that can natively handle 2x480 and have a lot of extra room with a horizontal bed. Meaning the board and GPU's are laid flat and not hanging.

As expensive as my brothers system maybe, i still cant stomach the fact my board + cpu still costs more then his entire setup, and when im done with my build, it will hit mid 4 figures.

Release day for the 9950X3D is finally here and i can start to share some screenshots

This is my new daily profile ive manged to stabilize the new G.SKILL 6000 CL26 sticks at

• 9950X3D ES
• 8600MT/s CL32 💪
• 1.74 VDD / 1.55 VDDQ needed for these settings
• Core tuning level 2
• 1.500 CPU VDDIO
• 1.1 CLDO VDDP

15 hours karhu @ ~375mb/s



Can bench light programs @ synced 8800 / 2200
For full y-cruncher bench stability i need to drop down to 8700MT/s
