My computer's new sensor panel: a 7" Raspberry Pi display with frame.

Damn, this is a really nice setup.

Excellent work.

Thanks man.

That looks like the NZXT H510 case. Super popular. Everyone has those cases.

Those g.skill trident z are hard to find in a 8gb x4 at 3600 mhz cl16 at a reasonable price.

Jayro · Nov 20, 2020

I got my ram off Amazon. Easy to find, and not bad on price. I kinda wish I went with the CL14, but the price jumped up by like another $60, and I couldn't justify that.

And I bought two of the 8GBx2 kits.

SG854 · Nov 20, 2020

The cheapest right now I can find is around $300. I want to get an entire kit of 4, rather then 2 kits of 2 since compatibility can be an issue if not all 4 are binned together. I want to overclock and that could be an issue.

I gave mine a modest 66MHz bump to 3666MHz, and it's still stable with everything at Auto and D.O.C.P. set.

Woahah, this kicks ass. I've always wanted to do a project like this but I've been limited by financials.

What did you use to connect the display to the PC? If I remember correctly, those RBPi displays have a proprietary connector on the back.

SG854 · Nov 20, 2020

I'm having real trouble overclocking. My pc doesn't boot. I had corsair vengeance rgb pro. Returned them and wanna replace with trident z cuz I heard they were better for overclocking.

SG854 · Nov 20, 2020

The computer sensor is nice though. Been wanting to do something like that too. But need to find space on my pc.

SG854 · Nov 20, 2020

How did you route the video cable to the small display? Is it coming from the outside video connector on your graphics card to inside your pc case?

Jayro · Nov 20, 2020

I used a Waveshare 7" display, with the short flat HDMI cable coming out the back, and going into a DP to HDMI adapter, into the DP of my graphics card.

This is the kit I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S74MP36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is a very cool upgrade on your amazing setup.

EDIT:

I just added bandwidth meters for my up and down saturation, so I can tell when I'm being a bandwidth-hogging prick. Edited the first picture to show it.
