What kind of cable management do you have in your PC?

I have insurance so it's not a big deal, but I'm curious: how serious is this damage?

The PC arrived like this, with the card disconnected and hanging by the screws. The "fingers" on the card look ok but the plastic is scratched and small pieces have broken off it seems. One or two fingers inside the PCIe (?) socket are twisted, and it looks like I wouldn't be able to reconnect the card if I tried (haven't tried).

Thousands of hours of gaming and still no issues. Best $50 in 2009 ever spent.

Started from day 0 without even having a desk and I can say I’m happy with how it all came out and glad it’s finally over! Still have some cable management to do but for the most part it’s all complete.

My wife's birthday is next week and I put together a pc for her. She has only ever used my computer and her work laptop. Never had one of her own. I want to know how you guys think I did.

So, context:

She plays Bg3, Skyrim, Sims, plays dnd on foundry, and otherwise just reads, browsers reddit and whatnot. She's going to be using a 1080p 60hx monitor I have extra that she says she's perfectly happy with, as she uses it with her laptop as an extra screen.

The original plan was ddr4 and gtx1080 bc she doesn't need a lot for her current selection. I later decided that I should go ddr5 for upgradability bc I'm sure once she gets started she's going to enjoy playing more titles. THEN I found a 3080 12gb on Facebook of $200! So I tried to build the rest of the system around that. Let me know how you think i did :)

Second build i have done about 6-7 years apart. I thought it went smooth until I was reaching cpu temps of about 95 Celsius while playing battlefield 6 - turns out I had not applied enough thermal paste but once i did saw temps of about 80-81 when playing on low settings which I hear is normal.

Going to do abit more cable management just wanted to check it all out and make sure no further adjustments are needed. Pretty happy with it otherwise.

Why do games that are played on the same graphics settings such as Battlefield 6 look better? Or am I just imagining things?

Anyone else having fun on the new gears of war? Loved playing it on this rig so immersive.

Im not that educated on computers, so I watched YouTube videos to help as I was building it. I’m extremely happy I was able to get it done, and learn new things in the process. I’m absolutely loving it with the 45in 240hz 1440p oled 800R curve monitor I paired it with since I mainly play story games. I did extensive research on part bc I wanted to play games on high settings and get around 120fps in my games, and kind of future proof it.

Slowly set this pc up throughout this year I think this is it finalized. Maybe I’ll get a white aio but eh I think I’m god for the next 5-10 years I hope. I traded gpus up until I got the 5080 so all in on the gpu I’m sitting at about 1200 dollars. Not terrible. Rest of the build cost I assembled right before rampocalypse so I believe it was around 1500 (i9-14900)k etc etc

The distribution is based on combining Steam's most recent hardware survey with Tom's Hardware 1440p Rasterization Performance index; with some assumptions about missing variants and the models that steam bundles up as other because of their low percentage.

Just started having issues with my 3090. The pictures are right around the 10 min mark of a stress test. Over the past two days I’ve had my computer do the black flickering then just freeze 3 times while gaming. Never recovered just frozen and kept running until I turned it off (long hold on power button). When gaming probably happened about two hours in, sorta heavy game (WarDogs) GPU usually sits around 80-83c. This stress test was with side panel off as I just blew it out.

I’ve never replaced the thermal pads. (Considering doing this but never done it before)
Never had issues like this in the past.
Computer was purchased Jan of 2022 a CyberPower rig.

i7-12700k
32gb Ram
RM850 psu
No overclocking
3 monitors- 2x1440p and a 3440x1440 monitor.

Any advice is welcome, I’ve seen that these over heat but it’s been that hot in the past. I want to make sure I’ve done everything else before thermal pads as I’ve never done them. All softwares are up to date. What else do ya think?
