    2x Corsair XR5 420 good enough for 4090 and 13900k

    I currently have 2x Corsair XR5 420 rads (30mm thick) cooling a 13900k and 4090. I think these corsair rads are basically rebranded Black Ice Nemesis GTS rads. Should I get thicker / better rads or do you think the performance difference would be minimal? I usually run Push OR Pull at around...

    4090 poor vram overclock?

    I'm not sure if I got hit with the bad silicon lottery for crappy overclockers, but my MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio can't get above +900-925 on the memory before I start running into artifacts and instability. Is this average or not because I feel quite disappointed / cheated when I see people online...

    4090 worth it over 7900 XTX?

    I was able to grab a 7900 XTX Red Devil at launch for $1100 and have enjoyed it for the short time that I've had it. I'm currently just using the stock cooler and it cools well, but waiting for a water block to come out for it could take a while. However, if I was able to nab a 4090 at MSRP of...

    Is water cooling still needed for good overclocks anymore?

    Is custom water cooling still needed for good overclocks anymore? I've been thinking. With all the good CPU AIO water coolers now and the fact that liquid cooling the GPU doesn't seem to give you higher overclocks vs air anymore. What's the point in expensive custom water cooling when an easy...

    Klipsch Reference Premiere any good?

    I'm a noobie when it comes to decent home theater equipment outside the $500 complete home theater in a box including a receiver. I know you can get compact $1000 set of speakers alone, no receiver, like Klipsch Reference Cinema and Definitive Tech ProCinema 6d and I'm sure with a decent...

    Just finished Corsair 7000x distro + hardline build

    Just finished the build in Corsair 7000x with distroplate. The distro plate was almost as expensive as the case, but was worth it I think? It's my first hard tube build. Took all day to plan out the 90s, spacers, and measure and bend the tubing, but you feel more accomplished than soft tubing...

    radiators for oc'd 12900k + 3080ti?

    I was wondering the amount of radiators (120mm or 140mm) needed for high overclocks on a 12900k + 3080ti with good temps? I currently have a 420 + 280 rads for the mentioned setup in an evolv x case. Its quite cramped in this case and wanted something bigger that could support more water...

    Asus Z690 Strix-E vs Gigabyte Aorus Master

    I have had a Z690 Gigabyte Aorus Master sitting in the box for a few weeks now. I tried my luck with the Newegg Lottery and Won a chance to buy some G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 6000 CL36, but it forced you to buy as a combo with an ASUS Strix-E motherboard. I was just wondering which...

    DDR5 vs DDR4 motherboard dilemma

    I've got a Gigabyte Aorus Master board and some 32gb XPG 5200 CL38 kit just sitting along with a 12900k. I got to wondering if I'd be better off keeping my current 32gb G.Skill Trident Z 3600 CL16 low latency and get a z690 ddr4 board like MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4 or best z690 ddr4 I can't...

    Best Intel mobo/cpu for $700 build budget?

    I need some opinions on the best mobo/chipset and cpu for a $700 build budget? It's for my mother-in-law and she needs a new faster computer. She doesn't play any games that would need a dedicated gpu so integrated graphics is fine. I'm not going to overclock for her so I was considering a...

    Thermaltake Core P8 max rads at once?

    Does anyone have any idea the max radiators this case could support at once? This case looks pretty nice if it can support three big radiators at once. It looks limited once you put in thermaltake's distroplate for that case, but I wouldn't go that route. I was waiting for the new 011 Evo or...

    backplate on 3080ti with waterblock gets super hot?

    Is it normal for the backplate on a 3080ti with a waterblock to get too hot to touch? When I play games the gpu never gets above 57C, but the backplate is too hot to touch. Is this normal? Does the 3080ti need an active watercooled backplate?

    Phanteks 719 or wait for Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo?

    should I get the Phanteks 719 now or wait for the O11 Evo? I want to water cool a 12900k and a 3080ti and be able to overclock them well and have good temps. The 719 can hold a 480 rad in front or side, and a 360 in the top and bottom, all at the same time I think. The Evo will mostly likely...

    Are traditional HDDs still the preferred storage drive vs SSD?

    I was just wondering if the traditional spinning HDD is still the preferred storage drive vs using SSD? Some computer cases just don't have good HDD storage locations when the case real estate is all being used for custom water cooling and radiators. For example, the Phanteks 719 looks like a...

    Has anyone read any news about when either of these cases are coming out? I thought one was supposed to be mid-Nov and the other December or something. Buying one of these 2 cases is the only thing holding back my new build. Got lucky and was able to get a 12900k and some DDR5 memory. Also got...

    Z690 asus maximus hero vs gigabyte aorus master

    Do you think the price premium of the $600 hero is worth it over the $470 Aorus Master? The hero only really has 20+1 90A power phase + thunderbolt4 with an extra piece m.2 card and only 2.5GE and the Aorus has 19+1+2 105A, no TB4, but has 10GE which I would use before TB4. I probably wouldn't...

    This is going to be long shot I know, but if there is anyone that wants to sell their Series X let know. Maybe you bought it and it wasn't what you thought it was or maybe you felt it's not worth it right now. I'm not willing to pay $800 from scalpers. A little extra maybe. Let me know.

    From Pixel 4 xl to S20, Oneplus 8 pro, 8t, or wait S21?

    So currently I have Pixel 4 xl and ever since the specs of the Pixel 5 came out and were a downgrade from 4 xl, I feel like Google just went in the wrong direction with downgrade specs.
