Curious Cola inspects a shipment of fresh tech.
Today's exercise:
Swap an Intel i7 CPU and Mainboard build for an AMD Ryzen 1700.
Parts to swap:
- Processor - Intel i7 6700 4ghz >>> AMD Ryzen 1700
- Mainboard - MSI Z170A >>> MSI B350 Tomahawk AM4
- Cooler - Shadow Rock 2 SR1 >>> AMD Wraithspire
Parts to keep:
- PSU - Corsair 750 Watt
- GPU - EVGA 980ti 6gb
- RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400mhz
- Case
- SSD
- Monitor - Acer Predator X34
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! |
Video Card beauty shot
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,

You have very nice working space. I have GEORCE GTX card in my computer too, it looks good when it lighted up in dark room + it is fast. When my husband build my computer and only one think was left - to close the box- we got distracted and my one year old climed right inside of it. That was very stressful :) I never played games on my computer yet.
Ah perhaps I should have made it more clear that this isn't mine! Built this for a friend of mine :)
There are many models of GeForce, do you know which one you have?
That's crazy that your kid climbed inside, perhaps one day he (or she?) will build their own :)
Jeez mind your head that's the second doorway you've walked into this week XD
Ahh I remember when I used to enjoy building PCs, now I just want the damn things to work. You have a very pretty little hellbeast there :)

What's my name again?
Hehe yeah it turned out alright! Remember, this isn't mine ^_^

Thanks guys :)
What's your mission?
Cool!
Cheers!
That was one clean and sweet looking build. Nice job!
What model is the case? Manufacturer?
I'm planning on getting the Fractal Define R5 and this one is pretty similar.
This is quite clearly quality porn.
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Posting porn while there are kids running around.
How dare you, sir!
