    Who’s the go to for soft tubing fittings these days? Compression and Quick-Disconnect.

    not sure about the quick disconnects, but if you want to save some money on normal compression fittings and 90 degree ones and stuff I highly recommend the checking out the Bykski MOD Store on Ali Express. Be warned though shipping can take quite a while. I have been using these fitting for...

    Slightly messed up packaging for an HD-return or keep?

    Thats just a malformed plastic like the mold was the wrong temp or not enough plastic. Impact on a normal pastic piece wouldnt look like that. If there was impact involved then the card board would be dented which doesn't appear to be the case from what i can see in picture. AOK imho.

    How many % of system builder uses Non transparent water cooling tubes

    Its not like you stare at your tubing all day. If something goes wrong like dead pump your system is gonna throttle and possibly shut down. It you want to monitor it you can get a flow meter or check temps for unusually high values.

    850 watt enough for 7800x3d + 4090?

    I wouldnt have concerns with a quality 850w and that setup. Too much money for that setup to be chincy on a psu. Also if you use your rig a lot and keep your psu's for a long time, then a platinum or higher psu may actually be cheaper over time via efficiency.

    A warning for AM4 socket watercooling

    I have done this a couple of times with various Ryzen builds I have owned and this has happened to me even after "twisting" if the chip wasn't warmed up first. Totally agree this isn't an AM4 issue but what did change is that the heat spreader on these Ryzen chips was a lot bigger than many in...

    Time to buy a 4090 PC - FINAL BUILD!!!

    Is there a faster ram choice? Pretty sure ddr5 6000 is the sweet spot at least for the 7000 series ryzen chips

    AMD Ryzen 5 4600 overclocked to 4.2 ghz @ 1.312v - does it matter?

    Overclocking still makes sense if you do the kind of work that uses all cores /threads but it usually comes at the cost of lowere single core boost
