InjectD3?

I had no idea of the existence of this. https://github.com/InsanityBringer/InjectD3 Looks a little interesting. I only see it mentioned once in DBB. Anyone have any experience with this? I noticed it might be a bit limited based on D3 version. I have a standard box set. I would like to give it a try.

Re: Thinkina buildin a comp

Wow that peerless assassin is overkill for that i5-8400.

I ran cinebench for 30 minutes and the CPU never got above 45 C.

Nice. Lots of headroom if I want to experiment with a little OC.

However, Im more inclined to just leave it and have the processor last for years and years. :mrgreen:

The 1660 SUPER is another freeby from my uncle. (The 1080 was completely stone dead)

Someday I might get an RTX core, but for now the 1660 will do.
