Welp, almost ready to do the smoke test on the new computer. The build went fairly easy except the mousetrap gizmo for the GIANT CPU cooler. It is a Cool Master Hyper 612 Version 2.0. The cooler is a giant heat sink and it is huge, and it has a fan, and it is a real pain to get it to tighten up to the CPU. Tongue to the left, right and then do the hokey pokey and cuss. It makes Ikea look like child's play. The instructions have no text, just drawings. No explanations.
The computer is a 8th gen I7 6 core 12 thread, 32 gig of RAM expandable to 64 gig. Twin mirrored 1TB drives and a Nvida Quadro K4200 3D card. Win 10 Pro 64 Bit. I will wait until we get done with dinner before I fire it up. I know it will take some time to get it running.
