Looks like I had the mega luck to grab a Ryujin 240 for 79,90 in an outlet store, with warranty. 😄

I also have a review right here:

Way in if you have ideas and/or suggestions.

Looks like I'm having an unforeseen changes.

I returned my RoG Strix Flare (RMA) I know, I'm picky, I sent it back because of the white led on the multimedia stop button fried.
It sure was a lovely Keyboard. My first ASUS thing with problems, oh well, moving on. 


Time to go back to a wireless combo.

RoG Claymore 2 Wireless coming in the next week and when I can, Gladius III Wireless to replace my RoG Gladius II Origin.

Video of the RoG Claymore 2 Modular and wireless SOON!

The Englishman

The Claymore has arrived!

A new excel file coming in, nah... Its just more money flying out of my pocket.

Money does Fly AwayMoney does Fly Away

Still trying to see if the 240 AIO will handle the 5800X or if the 5700X would fit nicely instead.
I've decided on the Helios but missed out an outlet one for 140... guess Ill wait a bit more.
The Flare had to go and never came back 😞
The Claymore was a nice add but now I want a Gladius wireless too.

So.. that's it. the "don't spoil the SURPRISE" is here.

Long live the RX480, one of the best cards I had, that could still do CyberPunk with FSR and.. playable.. to some extent.
I just hope that the new Best can outlive the old Beast

johnnyenglish_0-1660859507821.png

Now after I a SUM of 480+6320, I just hope it can work as intended. Wish me luck.

So, how well have your upgrades performed for gaming?  How fast is the refresh rate of your monitor?

As Albert Einstein said, "I could have done so much more with a Big Al's Computer!".

I'm not gaming much lately but now I got back to playing Citadel XV and starting a Control run. Mustering some courage for Cyberpunk too, only tried a bit here and there for testing the FSR, not played in full. Both last games were struggling to get 60fps in the RX480, now I want ALL the eye candy 😄

My monitor has a 144hz refresh rate and can actually be OC'ed to 165hz. Go figure. I knew you could push like 5hz or so but this one actually go higher than I thought it would.

I already started Heaven benchmark to have a comparison with other systems, not bad for stock settings.

johnnyenglish_0-1661630534398.png

Doesn't seem bad considering that the results I'm seeing are not that far off, this guy actually has a 12th gen. I'm only rocking a R7 2700X

johnnyenglish_1-1661630882403.png

The only loosing fight is actually the video editing. As soon as I end the current project I'll give the 22.8.2 drivers a go with version 18 of Davinci.

The Englishman

Doing quite well then.  I had not seen anything stated about your monitor prior to my asking.

I was going for better pictures but.. here are some I've got on the project
(I know that I should I've used the tripod, the OLED image is just too blurred but its supposed to be SHODAN from System Shock2)

Think they are good for ReD RoG RiG of the Month?

I think I may have to spend a bit more than expected this XMAS 😀

I know what you think, its not the X670 chip but the E version of the X670 is way too expensive for me.
The E version of the B650 has all the needed power to keep the 7950X happy and overclocked if needed and has 2 M.2 Slots running in PCI5.0 vs just one M.2 on the X670 F version.

Also, the power delivery is amazingly good on the E versions. 16+2

Guess this is it!

My wallet is now officially mad at me. It just vanished for good. Seriously, its no where to be seen.
Luckily I had the phone and just used one of virtual cards for the purchase, oh well....

The goodies are coming to keep the R9 7950X company

Videos, pictures, review and opinions coming soon!!!!

YEAH! 😀

It's only money.  You'll have more in a few years.

As Albert Einstein said, "I could have done so much more with a Big Al's Computer!".

I really like the way you think @BigAl01 - I live through the treat yo'self mentality. 

@johnnyenglish congrats on the new parts!! That's so exciting. I LOVE those motherboards, can't wait to see how it looks in your PC! 

Best,

My thoughts exactly @BigAl01 .  Can't take it with you, So get it now and enjoy it. Only problem is that the computers are now starting the pile up. I kind of wish I didn't like building PC's so much.

A man has got to know his limitations.  In some cases, that means checking your credit card balances.  Paying off the credit cards each month should be one of the first goals towards financial independence.  I know that building a computer now and then gets in the way of that, but it should remain the goal.

I always tried to use OT money to fund my computer-building addiction. How badly I wanted something depended on how much I wanted to work for it. That kept me in check. Or, you could just eat only canned brown beans for 2-3 months and use the money you saved from not buying groceries haha

This time I'll be selling the older parts to get some money back.

I wish I didn't, in order to make some video benchmarks for the channel but a work colleague really wants to save a buck and.. I won't charge much.

In the meantime..

I Guess that this is the end for the topic. 😭 My system no longer has the Polaris card, no sense sticking with the name, although I like it.

Since I'm a Simple Guy, no big fancy names for my builds like "ThunderRGBStrike" or "DeadlyGreenMachine", I'll  just stick with "Raphael", codename for ZEN4


Do You have any suggestions?
