My latest upgrade

[Martinr36]

Like many on here I've been waiting the delivery of a new graphics card to arrive to go in my PC, but unlike everyone else it wasn't a 30 series card but a 20 series in the form of an RTX2070 which i got pre used 2nd hand.
Many thanks to the seller it really is appreciated especially with the bonus Tango Sour Blast 🤣

I'm deducting 5 points for cable management there, Martin. You know I have strong feelings about that kind of thing.

yeah I'm going to have a play with that later, just wanted to get it installed and up and running, I had the sata power cables all nicely bundled but had to cut the cable tie on them so i could move them out the way as they were to thick to go under the card

I think I must need some new glasses. I can't bring those pictures into focus at all.....

I see a post coming up..."My latest upgrade...to my camera"

I have a similar issue, in that the photo looks fine on the phone/camera screen but as soon as I get it onto a proper computer screen I see how terrible it really is.

Nah no upgrade on the phone yet, I've got to open it up again tomorrow so might try for some better shots with the case open

That'll be it. The camera is clearly focusing on the glass in the case and not the gubbins inside....

 

[AgentCooper]

And I want to have a look at what you've done with those cables...

 

[AgentCooper]

I reckon that's the reason for the out of focus pictures....hasn't done anything to the cables, merely said it had been done to placate you

Just a quick question, I've noticed when booting the PC that the Phoenix logo cycles through Red, Green & Blue before going back to green, so was wondering if there is anyway of changing the colour

I used to have that model of GPU and I never thought to try changing it. Maybe try downloading the ExperTools from this site and see if that does anything?
