Today is a carbon fiber kinda day

Laptop is my Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen4 (i9 11950h 32gb ram, and RTX 3080 16gb)

Knife is my customized Kershaw Iridium (M390 blade, tritium thumb stud and lockbar, anodized purple backspacer, acid etch and stone washed blade)

Pen is a Bastion carbon fiber bolt action pen (Fine parker quinkflow black ink cartridge)

Ultra sharp custom Kershaw Iridium (M390)

Stropped with 50k diamond compound suede leather for 15-20 min then 200k diamond compound on some old soft couch leather for roughly the same amount of time. I sharpened it a couple days ago on some Amazon guided sharpener. I actually like it more and get better results than my Worksharp precision adjust elite for half the price.

List of mods:

Acid wash and stone wash

Anodized purple backspacer and thumb stud

Glow rhino tritium bugout lockbar (just like on my bugout it has a slight bit of blade play)

I accidentally took a nap when I was acid washing the blade so its pitted (luckily not on the sharp part). Gives it character ig.

9 times out of 10 I will pick my Iridium over my Bugout (also M390) to carry, genuinely my favorite knife

Anodized my Keychron's knob

Really happy with how it turned out, I've anodized smaller aluminum knife parts before but not a keyboard knob.

I anodized at 0.4 amps for an hour then dyed it with purple Rit dye

I made a simple shift knob for M10x1.5 cars (5MT and 6MT)

Here is a link to the model

Feels really nice in the hand to me, I printed it in Polymaker PA6-CF20 so it has an interesting texture with the knurling.

Simply thread the knob on, then you can line up and apply the insert.

Got a new Asus strix b550f, motherboard turns on then instantly back off

Title. I recently got a new board because my msi x470 gaming pro carbon stopped working properly. I transplanted my ryzen 7 5800xt, 32gb of ram, and rtx 5070 onto the new board and it just powers on then right back off instantly when I push the power button. I tried resetting the cmos and trying with just 1 ram stick with no luck.

The little ThinkPad that could (Gen4 X1 Extreme)

Specs:

i9 11950h, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz, RTX 3080 16GB vram (80w)

This is the first pass with a turbo laptop cooling pad and an air conditioner. Although this is the 80w 3080, it boosted to a stable 95w under full load maxing out around 45-50c. CPU boosts to 4.5ghz at a stable 75w, maxing out around 60c.

This is with +500 memory and +125 core, we're going to see how far it will go
