Title: Upgrades
Post by: Joe on January 19, 2021, 10:18:47 PM: Here's the reason for some of my tech issues today.

My old motherboard had a broken top PCI socket and couldn't use the bottom one due to headers. I was using a 3rd party vertical GPU mount, but things were getting a little warm with the 3090 so I got a new motherboard to try the GPU horizonal, and while I was at it I got a new case and some more RGB bling 8)
