Definitely worth selling. You'd probably get at least £250 selling it as a bundle on eBay.

If the Hero is anything like the Icon, then you might want to avoid it. Soft definitely isn't a word I would use to describe my icon.

What an eventful week you've had

Yep, no reason the cooler wouldn't work with the right bracket. Could be worth sending Thermalright an email to see if they still offer the free AM4 upgrade kit.

I find the cost of older used CPUs to be prohibitive for anyone who doesn't already have the motherboard. 7700k seems to sell for upward of £150 used. For that much, you could have a Ryzen 5 3600, which would outperform the i7 in just about every way.

Any particular reason for picking a 7700k, rather than something more recent like a 9/10700k, or even ryzen? Regardless, you would definitely see a noticeable improvement switching from a 2500k, especially if you're using a 1080p monitor.

There's the LG 34GN850-B - 34" IPS 3440 x 1440 160hz for over a grand, or you could get a Samsung Odessey G9, which meets all your requirements and more! It's a bit larger than the others as a 49" 32:9 panel, but it has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 at 240hz, and it only costs just over 3 times...

Yep, the same way an AMD card would work fine with an Intel processor.

Brilliant. You can take a dump, check on a print, and huff toxic fumes all at the same time. So efficient :D

Higher than 144hz? Not for £400.

If it works, it works! Looks like I'm going to be buying some castors then :D

You can still buy a pair of active speakers that just plug into your PC (and maybe the wall). You could also go down an audio rabbit hole and find yourself spending ridiculous amounts on some quality passive studio monitors along with an amp and a DAC for good measure.

Sounds interesting. Will definitely give them a go. Cheers

Nice Schiit stack

Good choice! Looks like a nice case for the price.

Played it for the first time yesterday. Wouldn't mind hopping on again at some point. What do the quests involve?

Does cable management clearance not refer to the distance from the motherboard tray to the rear panel?

Well that's unfortunate. At least you've got an easy way to drain the loop :D

That's odd. Not sure why that'd happen. Maybe have a look for similar subreddits in that case, or try the BWF discord - https://discord.com/invite/BWF

Sleeping At Last - Saturn Mostly instrumental, but the few (repeated) lyrics, combined with the fantastic build-up make for a seriously thought provoking and emotional experience that can easily get you pondering your existence. "With shortness of breath, you explain the infinite. How rare and...
