Yes, those are the A5+. You can also see the Audioengine S8 Subwoofer under the monitor. They are driven by my Teac DAC (below the left speaker).

Not sure what that means? But the Epson Printer (Pro 3880) to the right is used to print my work as seen framed photos. It can print up to 17 x 22 inch prints.

Well, It was originally bought as a temp workstation for $180 bucks. Twenty two years later still standing and just beginning to wear doesn't get any complaints from me

With that, if it's bothersome you can always donate a couple of hundred towards a replacement

Thanks.

Nice I've the A5+ and S8 but the left speaker (the one with the amplifier) is starting to fail for some reason. Audioengine is willing to replace but that's gonna an expensive shipment and customs.

For the printer I thought for a moment these were the things that cut stickers.

Nice setup anyway!

Nope. There are two Epson printers in that image - the one above the monitor (XP-960) is just for word docs; the one on the right is my photo printer. The 960 can print photos up to 17 inches but I've never printed a photo on it case it'll eat through ink like a sip of water. Plus the print quality couldn't match the 3880.

As for your speakers I assume they're still under warranty? Too bad about the shipment costs.

I've had my speakers for 6 years now and they're still going strong. I thought about upgrading to the HD6 but the A5+ are still going strong so I put the money in a new camera.

Thanks.

Well it's pretty much done guys. Thanks for following. I ended up building it in an NZXT h710i. The Corsair 500D was driving me insane. The 500d, seriously I've never seen such an heavy and big case with so little space at the same time. Quite contradictory for a high-end case but a lot of weird design decisions.

I also received the wrong cooler, ordered the Z73 and received the X73.. Z73 pretty much out of stock didn't want to wait anymore.

Anyway, I'm happy with the new parts (Case, Mobo, Chip and Ram), especially ram and mobo, I've been using Asus motherboards for more time than I can remember and the learning curve was pleasantly quick (bios) and I like it, it's especially easy to work with memory tweaking.

So far results achieved:
Full stability 54 all cores
Full stability Ram overclocked to 3800 14-14-14-35 1.42v

Thanks all for following.

Hi,
Turned out nice

54 all cores is dang good but so far not getting past my 5.3 cpu scores or physics but coming close though

Got to be a simple setting to open that bad boy up you just need to find it.

Thanks, to be honest I dialed back down to stock turbo boost. It's plenty for daily use. Only ram remains overclocked now. Will only do all cores when running benches. That chip was so hard to find like a needle in haystack, it was sold out everywhere. I don't want to break anything. :) I didn't attempt anything over 54 anyway. Satisfied with what I got out of the box pretty much.

Hi,
I posted a couple youtube videos in code over here maybe they will be helpful for bios & benchmark improvement
