I built a new desk.
I made the plans, ordered all the hardware, assembled, and wired everything. If you look closely, you can see there are almost no wires running around under the desk. This is the first time I have done this and WOW its nice not to have a mess. Just used those wire under desk wiring organizers on amazon to hide it all. Wife bought the lumber, I helped her cut it up but she made the tops and stained and clear coated everything. It's a s simple setup that we can build on, 13 foot by 8 foot, just a nice solid sturdy desk. Eventually will replace part of the legs with storage, talking about putting an elevated rear section on, and best of all, have a bunch of RGB that's ready to be wired this weekend. left PC (mine) 3900x+3090 middle PC (wife) 7700k+1080ti right PC (kids) 3600x+1660ti Dog (I bought her but somehow she became my wifes) Poppy+Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless Last edited by hometeam; 11-10-2020 at 06:44 PM.. |

I for sure wouldn't go below 27", though. When I said 27" was the sweet spot, I meant in terms of bang for the buck. Since you spoil the ever living shit outta your kids, I'm sure Vailpass Jr. is getting a 32" ultrawide. EDIT: I meant that last part as a huge positive, obviously. Sometimes tone is easy to misconstrue on the webz.

So, I wanted to mention the CPU cooler I got recently. Recommended from a few places online when looking at reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm blown away by the performance compared to the price point. It's not the quietist fan available, but for temp/$ it's the best I've found. It's got 4 copper pipe tubes directly in contact with the CPU, that goes to a huge radiator and powerful fan. Fits both LGA and AM4. Comes with LED in various colors if you want.
I'm running an Intel 9600K 3.7Ghz CPU currently OC'd at 4.8Ghz and still cannot get temps over 65 degrees C under a 30min stress test. Tempted to push this to 5Ghz, but I'm really not sure I need to. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0725SBNVV/ Additional tip: I have used ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Compound for CPU paste on many of my most recent builds, and that too has performed really well. Don't go cheap on the CPU thermal paste.

Just for giggles, I pushed it up to 5Ghz and did another stress test. Actually pretty stable and still running load stress temps ~60 degrees and idle temps ~32 degrees. LOL. ❤ Intel.

I have an AIO water cooler for the CPU and I don't think it's worth the money as far the performance go. It looks cleaner as a build and is a little quieter, but I don't think I would go that route again.
