2016 Computer

3/19/2016

Welcome to the world my brand new computer for 2016!

Specs:

Notes:

CPU cooler fan DOES block first RAM slot. Fan can be adjusted up on cooler to allow for room.
Case is by far the best built case I have ever used. Well worth waiting for the price point I was expecting at $160.
- Not sure it it is the motherboard or the USB 3.0 internal cable that came with the case but I cannot remove the cable at all. It is a very tight fit to put cable through slot and then into motherboard. That might also be putting too much stress to allow it to slide out. I fully expect the mother board connector to break off if I tried any harder. Someone really needs to change the design of that bulky cable. Fingers crossed for USB C front panel connectors on future cases getting an internal cable and connector redesign!
Extra network adapter for Hyper-V purposes.
I do have another R9 290 Video Card to Crossfire with but after realizing that Fallout 4’s finally released Crossfire Profile does NOT do anything to FPS in game, I have decided to keep my place a little cooler by sticking to only 1 card.
