discussion Steam OS Build *Update 3*

[Shadowarez]

hello all time to rebuild the Steam OS Desktop.

1. Gigabyte X870I AORUS PRO ICE
2. JONSBO D31 MESH SC White
3. Thermalright Frozen Edge 360 White
4. AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D
5. Expert DDR5 Vulcan T-Create 6000mhz cl34 2x32gb
6. MSI MAG 850GL PCIE 5 White
7. Sapphire Pure AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
8. Rocket 4 Plus SSD

System has been plagued with issue's from start so went full power in this one. But can't justify $1400 for the Sapphire 9070XT Pure.

ill be changing out the board once M-ATX becomes a thing one day and a 9800x3D

Got hands on a Fairly powerful AMD GPU for Steam OS.

parts have started arriving just awaiting the gpu/case now.

Turns out I need all the lil pieces like a Argb Hub since these fans can't daisy chain past 3. Nvme heat sink since the stock one let the nvme reach 60c.

Well build is at a stand still GPU can't slot into Pcie this cap prevents it

I have been really happy with the HR-09s in the NAS that I picked up a HR-10 for my desktop.

Cool looking build so far!

But... a capacitor is blocking the installation of your GPU? Why am I not surprised it's an ASUS board

 

[Shadowarez]

I'm tempted to desolder it
