New system Update ....

[Mayhem]

Well I got my system built a while back (june) .... and I had some problems.

First was that the Asrock x570 Steel Legend Motherboard did not have a bios that supported the 3900xt I had .... In the process of pulling the CPU to reseat it caused the CPU to stick to the bottom of the Heatsink and one pin busted off in the motherboard. The CPU did not have insurance .... the motherboard was covered under warranty it also had a free RMA bios update and I actually have Allstate insurance on it ... but not the CPU. So I made some changes .... I Cullero and I made a joke about that on my facebook feed.

My current working PC specs are ....

My Son was going to get my old Xeon system however I decided to get a New MB with my New CPU so I decided to give my son my Asrock steel legend that was on RMA to have a CPU pin removed from the socket and to get a Bios update to support Ryzen 5000 CPUs.

Now he gets ....

Just as a heads up you need to warm your CPU up before you remove a heatsink if you use thermal grease/paste I was using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. If you can't run your system for a few minutes to warm up your thermal compound you may want to take a hot blow-dryer to your heatsink before you remove it. Failure to do so cost me a $400 CPU.

My PC is now built I just need to install the raid 10 array. I also need to finish my Den and move everything in. I plan to be back in AH for FSO in about "TWO WEEKS" (Inside Joke)

I have it up and running ... I've been downloading software and games for a day now, and I still have at least day to go. I still need to connect a couple FANS to the fan controller, I need to install the Raid and I need to move the last of the data on my old system to the new (5tb),I need to move it in to my Den which still isn't done (gota buddy coming by on monday to help put up shelves and move furniture. Then I can Install peripherals like controllers, webcam, streaming mic, and such. Lastly I will tune it.
