The Wraith Prism cooler that came packaged with the processor:
The gloriously ridiculous XFX Thicc III Ultra graphics card. This is a beast. It weighs 1.2kg, or just slightly less than a 2019 Macbook Air. It has 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, and the main GPU has 10 billion transistors on a 7nm process. That's. Fucking. Nuts.
The RGB-ness of the cooler in action. Sadly wasted, as my CoolerMaster Silencio 550 case is completely enclosed. In fact, I have to keep it hidden away from the locals, in case they start worshipping it.
The whole thing. I need to get some slightly longer power cables for a really neat cabling job. Particularly annoying is the GPU power cable - there's insufficient flexibility to let me fold it over. I'm going to investigate whether there's such a thing as a 90° PCI-E power cable.
Those of you who are particularly sharp-eyed (which is none of you, y'all are old farts :D) will notice that the new Arctic F12 fans are the wrong way round, with the airflow going back-to-front. This has been rectified.
ETA - note that right now, the Windows CPU pane doesn't report the current CPU speed correctly.
Ryzen Master, OTOH, does. And the 3700x clocks waaaaay down under low load:
