This is just a feel good rant, but I wanted to let everyone know the AMD Ryzen 5950x is one hell of a CPU! I was torn between the 5800x3d and the 5950x but I'm glad I chose the latter. I am rocking an air cooled Torrent build with an NH-D15 cooler and my thermals never get past 73C while under...
Hardforum Team,
I just completed my new Fractal Design Torrent build yesterday. Everything turned on except the RGB fans that come with the case. I followed the instructions in the manual even though they are pretty vague. Wanted to see if anyone else has the same case and if you went thru the...
I am building a new gaming rig and the cooler is up next on the list of parts to get. My question is: What are peoples experience with Noctua NH-D15s and IceGiant ProSiphon Elites coolers?
Here are my current part specs:
Fractal Design Torrent RGB ( BIG AIR FOCUSED CASE )

Question: I want the "best" exhaust 140mm fan available for heat removal in a Fractal Design Torrent case. I have been researching Noctuas industrial NF-A14s and yes the noise levels can be high due to the 3-phase motor, but.. that means more air being pulled out. Just want to see if anyone has...
Have a Fractal Design Torrent case and want to use air cooling if possible. What air coolers do you recommend for Ryzen 5800X3D or 5950X? I have the x570 chipset.
Thanks,
I am torn between Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB and WD Black SN850 2TB for storage options. Mostly for the boot drive, but could be for extra storage as well. Could I get some pro's and con's on these storage options?
MOBO: Aorus X570s Master chipset

Hardforum Team,
I am researching 360 AIO's for CPU cooling only that can best fit into a Fractal Design Torrent case. I have heard the only real spot you can safely mount is in the front. If this is correct, what options would you recommend? Currently, I am torn between the following:

Hardforum Team,
I am researching two different GPU's and would like to get opinions on the two choices:
EVGA 3080 TI 12GB
MSI Suprim 3080 Ti 12GB
Can you justify the higher price point for the MSI for a minimal boost to the clocks?
Thanks,
Hardforum Team,
I am researching AMD Ryzen processors for a gaming PC build, and narrowed it down to two choices:
AMD Ryzen 5800X3D for the 96MB Cache ( Gaming focused )
AMD Ryzen 5950X for the multi-core functionality ( again this is more for rendering and production situations )
I'm...
Hardforum Team,
I am trying to learn / research all I can about gaming PSU's in the 1000w range for future expandability and my card of choice is going to be a 3080 Ti. My main choices so far are as follows:
Seasonic Prime Titanium TX 1000w
Super Flower Leadex V Platinum Pro 1000w...
