Applied at the best RP server in India - <strong><a href="https://india.nopixel.net/upload/index.php">Nopixel India</a></strong> and finally got whitelisted today. Can't wait to get my introverted ass in.</p> <p>Might stream occasionally over at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvsTf8QMaXbNlcExRZHDGVw">YouTube</a>.</p> <p>~Rey</p> https://www.techoholic.in/id/post/132/ 2026-06-01T18:06:55+05:30 2021-03-15T17:25:55+05:30 Vikalp https://www.techoholic.in <p>Recently my old laptop began to show its age, HDD was too slow, heating issues and other hardware faults. It was a Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN, which served me well for more than 8 years. So I started the hunt for its replacement.</p> <p>As I had moved primarily to console gaming long ago, wasn't too keen on getting a gaming laptop, gaming ability was just an additional plus point. It was around that time when Sony announced the pre-orders for PlayStation 5 will begin(finally) in India on January 12th. Of course I had to get one, but given the measly supplies allotted for India, I knew it was going to be very hard.</p> <p>And just as I thought, it was a bloodbath. Only a few lucky ones were able to place the pre-order and of course I couldn't. It was pure chaos. This triggered me so hard, I thought of going all in and get a beast machine once and for all, hence decided to go for a fully loaded desktop instead.</p> <p>I got my first desktop in the year 2002 and have been using laptops after that. So being out of the game for so long, it was a bit challenging searching for parts and sourcing them but finally managed to get everything despite the global GPU shortages and ridiculous hardware prices.</p> <p>Here are some of the pics taken amidst creation of <strong><em>The NYX</em></strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/AI6HAmT.jpg" alt="components" loading="lazy"></p> <ul> <li>Gigabyte Z490 Vision-D</li> <li>Intel Core i9 10900K</li> <li>Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition</li> <li>G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600MHz 8GB x2</li> <li>Western Digital Blue SN550 M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB + 500GB</li> <li>NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler</li> <li>Lian Li Unifan SL120 x9</li> <li>Lian Li Strimer Plus 24 pin + 8 pin cables</li> <li>Lian Li O11 Dynamic White Case</li> <li>DeepCool DQ850 PSU</li> </ul> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/gTtLGMn.jpg" alt="Gigabyte-Z490-Visiond" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Gigabyte Z490 Vision-D</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/eKRJZYs.jpg" alt="i9-10900k" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Intel Core i9 10900K</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Wsye4yx.jpg" alt="i9-10900k" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Most nervous part: CPU installation</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/M9Xw4uK.jpeg" alt="3090FE" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 FE</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BYHkGUZ.jpeg" alt="3090FE" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 FE</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Oi5pLDz.jpg" alt="work-in-progress" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Work in Progress</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/HNY01z4.jpg" alt="it-works" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>It works!</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/PGVZHV6.jpg" alt="nzxt-kraken-z73" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>NZXT Kraken Z73</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ywDN6R1.jpg" alt="gigabyte-z490-vision-d-designare" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Gigabyte Z490 VisionD Designare</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/6jTdu5G.jpg" alt="final-setup" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Final Setup(for now)</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dPTJYHs.jpeg" alt="greenery" loading="lazy"></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Ep2HqaM.gif" alt="greenery" loading="lazy"></p> <p><strong>Because you can never have enough RGB.</strong></p> <p>It was fun, and its nice to be back in #PCMR once again. :D</p> https://www.techoholic.in/id/post/130/ 2026-06-06T23:34:45+05:30 2021-03-12T23:19:06+05:30 Vikalp https://www.techoholic.in <p>Finally managed to dump the old data hosted at <em>BlogSpirit</em> in this new deployment of <a href="https://chyrplite.net/">Chyrp Lite</a> for nostalgia's sake.</p> <p>Posts as old as 20 years ago are now live (cringe alert!)
