#Computer build

[canmom]

today i built my very own computer for the first time! I'm going to call her Nausicaa because she's basically a wind tunnel. she boots and bios detects everything, but tomorrow i still need to format drives, install OSes, set up the monitor, pick some nice colours for the rgb, etc etc. - not to mention take some better photos in daylight...

but you guys... I'm already so happy that she works! this is the first time I've ever had a really high end computer and i can't wait to see what she can do...

for fans of cryptic letters and numbers:

amd 7950X3D cpu, 4070Ti gpu, b650e-i mini-ITX mobo, fractal torrent nano case, the giant cpu cooler is a "deepcool assassin", she has 64gb of ddr5 ram, 4tb of ssd capacity (windows and linux each get 2tb), plus 8tb of spinning backup storage. the monitor is a 1440p ultrawide 144Hz VA HDR monitor by Dell. here's a full parts list.

Absolutely wild gift from AMD

there's actually something INSANELY erotic about building and taking apart computers......

a list of fun things about my fuckass pc

-duct tape was applied to the inside of the case at some point during the building process and I still don't know why

-I'm pretty sure my gpu is from the scp foundation

-Because my old monitor uses a different kind of cable than my gpu, I have to use an old TV set as a monitor. This does come with some advantages, mainly the fact it's funny and has built in speakers, it also has a kinda poor resolution when close up, it genuinely hurts my eyes to use in in the dark, and I need to use a TV remote to turn it on or off (also it retains its ability to search for channels and doing so will result in me needing to unplug the monitor)

-Just before I woke up this morning, the gpu decided to just straight up stop working because it "required further installation" while both the computer was shut down and the power was off so I'm pretty sure it's sentient, but restarting the computer fixed it so it's probably fine

-the wifi antenna that came with one of the parts, either the case or the motherboard iirc, just straight up does not work (that or we couldn't get it to work) but using the shitty tplink USB thing I got like four years ago does.

-speaking of the wifi, I get a better connection if i put my antenna on the ground just outside my closet. I dont even know for this one.

-when we started it up for the first time it just didn't turn on except for the fans on the liquid cooler system. I dont know how this issue got fixed, as far as I understand it basically just started working completely fine after like a day

-it has about nine fans total and yet the only times it made any significant noise are when I boot it up and when I tried running rain world while my gpu was up to funny buisness. (Also this might be completely normal but also the fans in the case need a SATA cable, which I was under the impression was for like hard drives but maybe not)

-the current setup for sound is a device that plugs into a USB then I put my earbuds into the headphone jack on it, as opposed to using the headphone jack on the computer. Probably normal but convoluted.

There's probably more but this is everything I could think of atm

today i completely finished my pc, and it looks so lovely! i’m so proud of it and how it turned out. temps are great and she runs like a dream. i added a photo of it to the post, and i think i’ll start to add photos to all my posts to just make my profile less boring! besides that, i drank with my roomies and one of my friends, and that’s all.

3 things i’m grateful for:

Took some advice and decided to build my own computer! Don’t know why it isn’t running tho, I followed the guide perfectly!

Every day, the orctop gets worse and worse. The screen is now held together by duct tape. I don't know what to do now except make it a case.

This was the PC I used for a year, the cpu fan was broken and would vibrate the entire desk whenever I played a video game

My previous PC was called "The Goblin" because I found its case in a dumpster and had to close one of the sides with cardboard and duct tape

It glows

I made a PC build for a friend and now I am setting it up.

I normaly hate RGB, cause it annoys me, but the glowing of the colors is nice
