Actually that IS clean. That PSU has been in there for 12 years now. What dust you see has just been picked up in the last week and a half.
It's also partially the pic itself.


Here is the old build, same case, from early 2013-ish.




















/e I think I had the lens set to too much fisheye, or w/e. It's been a long day... this was just a quick pic to show off the new parts. I'll get a better pic some other day. :)

Ok, here is the old Unigine Valley topic: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=68291879&f=188&o=0

Here is my Titan vs. my 780Ti benchmarks: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=68291879&f=188&o=175











And here is my RTX 2070 XC score...

Apparently, this is one of those vid cards where the fans don't spin when at dead idle, so I had to make my first fan curve.
Because of dust and cigarette smoke, I don't want the fans to ever completely stop, so I set the curve to keep the fans moving, but slowly.

In the past I would just lock the fans at say 60% and be done with it... but that was with blower (single fan) cards. The blower fans look to be much tougher fans, which are able to run at 60% 24/7.
The fans on this dual fan card, don't look to be that tough, hence the fan curve.














/e I left most of the curve set to EVGA default, and only changed the lowest "point" on the curve. I just wanted it set to keep the fans spinning at approx. 500 rpm instead of zero rpm.
In Valley's 18 tests on it's benchmark, I only hit 61C, so I figured the EVGA default, for the rest of the curve, was OK.

I haven't messed with the RGB lighting at all (it came set as turquoise), which probably helps keep the video card, cool. Sort of like dragon stickers help make a computer go faster. :D

Well, happy to see that Ghot hasn't changed at all.

I wish I had spare money and energy to build another PC. But no, anything other than laptop seems too much of a hassle.
