Curious Cola inspects a shipment of fresh tech.
Swap an Intel i7 CPU and Mainboard build for an AMD Ryzen 1700.
Parts to swap:
Parts to keep:
Alrighty then...let's see. Time to tinker!
| The old beast disassembled! It's an Ultrawide build :) | Separating everything as neatly as I could. |
| Ah...some precious metals to set on fire. A new heart! | Pretty! |
| Fresh carbon, B350 Tomahawk from MSI | All parts we need freshly arranged. |
| "Breadboarding", CPU, Cooler and RAM on Mobo | A fresh canvas! PSU, connectors and coolers primed. |
| A red flash and the machine spins to life. | "Wraithspire" |
| Red lights are pretty, but problematic! (No GPU yet!) | Closing the box with the GPU added. Time for an OS! |
Work Complete!
Man I love building computers. This is a gaming/streaming station that can handle 4k and Ultrawide applications. Hope you enjoyed my first "visual build diary". I've got a couple of different models coming up that I'll get to work on so you can look forward to more tinkering :)
The "zero APM" series of articles shall be exploring the more technical side of things. From hardware, to streaming tips over game optimisations I'll be going through some topics that I am somewhat knowledgeable about! Hope to see you there!
I know this ship like the back of my hand..BONK,
