Major changes. Moved the 65" C9 to another room and replaced the 48" C1 with a 77" G1. Similar setup to what I had in my previous house. Except everything went up a notch spec-wise. I like this a lot better. Should have done this from the start.

My eyes are roughly 7 feet away and positioned so my line of sight is right in the middle of the screen.
It's my main PC for home entertainment use. I have an employer provided laptop for work.
What is your experience with running PC games in surround sound? Is it implemented well? As far as I know, PC gaming in surround sound is not as good as back when audio was hardware accelerated. Plus, very few PC games support Atmos too. It seems PC gaming audio these days is designed for a headset or 2.1 speaker setups.
By the way, is that your movie watching setup too? If yes, is that chair comfortable for movie watching vs. a couch or sofa?

Most games don't support Atmos. It's okay since they get used as front speakers when Atmos isn't available. Most games do support 5.1 and up since the engines used in them are common.
I watch movies too. The chair is very comfortable for long session sitting. Should be for $2K.

The front-mounted AIO rads mounted with the hose ports at the top makes my head hurt and would probably make Steve Burke from Gamer's Nexus explode into flames.
Noise and flow likely ain't too good with those installed that way...

If you actually watched the video you would know that my install is good.
The pump is lower than the top of the radiator. JayzTwoCents did a video explaining Steve's video to point that out.
I hoped this debunking would be common knowledge by now.

It was kind of hard to see that when I first looked at the picture...apologies.

It's okay. A couple years ago just about anyone would freak out and want to point out that my AIO install is bad (even though it isn't).
It's similar to posts about anything on the Internet where someone is wrong. You'll see everyone lining up just to point out just how wrong they are. It's the one thing people eagerly respond to on forums. You'll get far more replies about being wrong than you will when you're right.
Steve attempted to set the record straight and show a proper AIO install. Jay put it in simpler words that more people could understood.
At least the AIO fiasco a few short years ago isn't as bad as the thermal paste application fiasco that never ceases to end. You want to trigger someone, simply apply thermal paste in a way that they feel is too much, too little, or not in the right pattern.

Did you get noticeable performance increase? How are the acoustics on that EVGA. Thinking about picking up the ASUS TUF 3090 Ti but it is quite pricey.
The latest, after swapping to a Ryzen 7 5800X and a RTX 3070 from a Ryzen 7 3700X and Vega 64 and changing from air cooling to a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 AIO about the beginning of the year:

Maybe 5% to 10% increase. Not much. Just had to have the latest and greatest.
I'll sell the 3090 to offset the cost.

I made a small change. Can anyone spot it? Only one guess.

Curious. What is your wattage usage of your computer+monitor while you are heavy gaming?
