Yep, only device I've found that flawlessly plays back every file I have on my Plex server.

Bump. Price drop.

Bump.

Came here to confirm iCUE is terrible. Never again. I only buy Corsair products if I can be sure I can do everything I want/need to without installing iCUE.

Bump - price drops

One of the 8TB shucked WD EasyStores in my NAS started throwing errors then went offline, so I picked up a couple of these $82 12TB Seagates to replace that pool. Arrived the other day, hoping to install and test tonight.

Bump - split up the waterblock and card.

Fun project! I'm following along. I've been toying with the idea of using my 3D printer to make some custom ducting and parts to fit as much cooling as I can in an ITX case 😂 Once Zen 5 launches I'll likely do a CPU upgrade and move from the NCASE to something else. Goal is to either fit my...

Wonder if it would be possible to rework just the male end of the connector to prevent partial seating. Then PSU and GPUs are unchanged and it's just a drop-in cable replacement. Pinout and profile would have to stay the same, but clips/locks and other pieces that surround the pins could...

Turned off CPPC, set VCORE to 1.35V. Highest I could get the multiplier was 42.75, which produced nearly identical results as with PBO on: With a better binned CPU it may be worthwhile to do the all core OC, but in my case I think I'll just switch back to PBO and forget it. I'm not too...

If I was buying a PSU now I'd want ATX 3.0, which those three are. They look like solid options. FWIW I built a system for a friend over the summer using the platinum version of the MSI, and I was impressed.

Sweet, looks easy enough. I'll give it a shot and report back.

I would say you could maybe get away with it with a quality 750W PSU if you didn't have much else drawing power, but the fact you say you're powering tons of disks makes it an easy call. Get a new PSU.

By overclock all cores do you mean set an all-core negative offset? I have a -15 offset on all cores, and +200 set on the boost frequency.

Very interesting results with SMT off. CPU score takes a significant hit, but GPU score gets a boost. Most exciting, my GPU utilization is hitting 100% so I think you're on to something with the stuttering. Played a couple hours of Cyberpunk after turning SMT off last night and it was nice and...
