Build Description
My 2018 workstation was showing its age. One bechmark shows this is 7x faster!
This is my first build with a water cooler.
I started shopping for a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM. The motherboard bundle was too good to pass up, but it meant my mini-ATX case wasn't big enough. And 1TB of NVMe is so cheap!
