Oh damn.

I got this motherboard: ROG STRIX Z270H GAMING | Motherboards | ASUS USA

Looks like it supports 14nm so might not work with those.I'll have to replace it eventually but that prolly won't be until 2022 or 2023 if that. Figure it can't be too difficult to replace anyways. Unplug the cables, take out pcie stuff and memory sticks, remove cpu and then mobo. Issue is if the new one would be compatible with all the other parts. Im sure the gpu and memory will be since those standards have been around for a while unless they change them. Might even upgrade some other parts first but I shall see on that.

I think your video card and memory would be compatible, and storage

Anyone looking into 10gen intel?

Maybe but I wonder what Rocket Lake has to offer since it's coming soon.

10th gen looking like another Kaby Lake where Coffee Lake came soon after.

Agreed, we will see

RTX 3000 series looks like it's coming sooner than later. They are already going to rollout the new surface book 3 with rtx quadro 3000 series

Wanted a project so i decided to build a custom loop. Ive ordered the hydro x kit from corsair and a liter of their coolant. Should be fun, if it ever ships

Don't know what a custom loop is but hope it works out for you.

Water cooling basically. Pump/ res/ tubing and fittings and all that jazz

Film it for us.

 

[Theolodius_Black]

Film it for us.

Well I'm new to water cooling loops so you'll basically see long stretches of me reading

At the very least, I'll probably post pics of the planning and the final product
