    Trying to Decide on a New Power Supply. I've narrowed down to 3.

    I'm building my daughter a parts PC and I decided to move my 850 watt Seasonic Prime GX over to her machine and get a new one for myself. See my sig for my machine (5950X with PBO and a 3090 with two DDC pumps and tons of fans). It is capable of pulling in the upper 700 watt range, so I figure...

    Did I destroy this fat Playstation 3?

    A friend of mine got his hands on a bricked PS3 (fat, backwards compatible model) from a friend. It had the red blinking light. I told him I'd try the delid and repaste on it. When I opened it up, it had already been worked on. The gpu was delidded and pasted. There is a sticker from the...

    Which Radiator Setup: 2 x 360 mm and 1 x 240 mm radiator OR 1 x 360 mm and 1 x 480mm radiator?

    (Update: Now a Build Thread) Has anyone built in the Primochill Praxis Wetbench SX?

    Update: Now building, see most recent post 11-15-2022 I have some troubleshooting to do on my machine that will most likely require me to drain my loop. My case is pretty cramped with 3 radiators and a gpu verically mounted making it all but impossible to access things like M.2 slots and...

    Did I Degrade or Destroy my 5950x? Now with a response from Asus on page 2!

    I was following along in the PBO Curve Optimizer thread with the new version of Ryzen Master PBO Curve Optimizer Thread. I updated my BIOS to 4201 (which is beta) and my BIOS settings were bone stock except for RAM timings. I hadn't messed with any PBO settings, voltages, boost, or anything...

    Which Static Pressure fans? Noctua NF A25x12, NF-F12, NF-F12 Industrial 2000 or 3000, or Thermatake Toughfan 12 or Turbo 12

    I've decided to replace the Corsair LL120s I have cooling my system. They are just not doing it for me sound/performance-wise. I have 3 radiators; Corsair R7 360, Corsair R7 240, and an XSPC TX240. The Corsairs are basically Hardware Labs clones that are 54mm thick with 13 FPI. The XSPC is...

    R9 5950x and RTX 3080 - Is my loop too small? Too little radiator? Too little pump?

    The case is a Lian-Li PC011 Dynamic that I've modified by cutting the restrictive bottom floorplate out to better accommodate intake fans.. I've also replaced the front glass with a custom panel where one of my radiators is attached. I'm cooling a 5950x with EK Quantum block and a 3080 with EK...

    Nvidia allegedly halting RTX 3000 production this October to keep prices as high as possible until 1H22 A friend sent me this link and I didn't find it here by searching. Could be complete rumor, but given nVidia's reputation, who knows.

    2 TB Samsung 980 Pro or 2TB WD Black S850 Drive?

    I've pretty much decided I'm going to take the leap on a Gen 4 drive now as I can see supply chain issues boosting prices and lowering availability sooner than later. I keep coming back to a decision between these two drives. Price is pretty much identical. The newer crop of Gen 4 drives seem...

    Source for Koolance LIQ-702CL-B Clear coolant

    I've been collecting additional parts to add a second radiator and GPU block into my loop. I noticed when I started a couple of months ago that Koolance LIQ-720CL-B didn't seem to be in stock anywhere, but I figured it would be back by now. I was wrong. My guess is there is a shipment sitting...

    Is this a Decent 5950X?

    All I've done so far BIOS wise is set the RAM timings to the same as they were for my 3950x. I'm not running PBO. I'm using 64 GB as noted in my signature using the Safe Profile settings from the 1smus calculator. I've run Boost Tester to see kind of what the potential of each core is at...

    Solved: LG 27GL850-B & Asus TUF VG27AQL1A both are not seen on boot by motherboard

    Final Edit: nVidia BIOS update took care of the problem. Apparently, there was an update for cards to make them compatible with v 1.3 and 1.4 versions of DisplayPort. What is odd is that the Asus VG27AQL1A is a displayport 1.2 monitor, but still had the issue. My old Acer Predator was v1.2...

    Which GPU Cooler? Kraken G12 + H55, Arctic AcceleroIII/IV, or Rajintek Morpheus II

    Title says it. I'very been pretty dead set on replacing the cooler on my EVGA 1080ti SC Black with. Kraken G12 and an H55. I would shim it so that I could leave the stock top plate and back plate intact. However, I have seen that you can keep the VRMS plenty cool with just a fan. In due...
