    [SOLVED] NZXT Kraken Z73 for 3rd gen Threadripper vs Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3?

    Yeah, that thread is definitely helpful. Btw there's also Thermalright SilverArrow TR4 that isn't getting any mentions, but from the tests I've seen it's right there fighting for the #1 air cooler spot for TR4. ...so I guess smart thing $/performance wise would be to go either with Noctua or...

    [SOLVED] NZXT Kraken Z73 for 3rd gen Threadripper vs Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3?

    I've seen a test where it performed +/- the same as Noctua TR4 and considering that ML360 comes with everything that water cooling comes with, it seems that it's no brainer choice for Noctua TR4. Thanks for your reply, I was assuming that, but wanted some confirmation. Though I still hope that...

    [SOLVED] NZXT Kraken Z73 for 3rd gen Threadripper vs Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3?

    One of the main reasons for my question is this: View: https://youtu.be/FffaOYQpI6k Noctua TR4 was outperforming Kraken X62 and yes, Z73 is bigger, but it's also more than 2x expensive and if all that I'm getting for that extra money is reduces reliability, increased noise and stunning...

    [SOLVED] NZXT Kraken Z73 for 3rd gen Threadripper vs Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3?

    3970x I'm in EU. Budget is... well... the less the better, but not to compromise CPU's health, longevity and productivity? I really want to get some feedback from guys using Z73 and what temperatures they're getting. So far I'm mainly considering Z73 and Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3 with 2x black...

    [SOLVED] NZXT Kraken Z73 for 3rd gen Threadripper vs Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3?

    Hi guys, Is anyone using NZXT Kraken Z73 on their 3rd gen Threadrippers? What temperatures are you getting on different loads? I'm currently torn between Noctua nh-u14s tr4-sp3 and... I dunno, there seems to be no good AIO specifically made for TRs? But fwiw I really like the visuals of...

    [SOLVED] amd sapphire 5700xt black screens

    Many years, can't tell exactly. Less than 10 though. I've also played Battlefield 5 (on max graphics) for 20-30 hours and have experienced NO black screens and NO stutters. But I've read that a lot of people are experiencing black screens in other games (that I do not play) as well. Btw I've...

    [SOLVED] Is 5700xt blower models really bad?!

    Ok... I've read that if I don't have a good enough airflow, than I SHOULD get a blower GPU. Question: what is considered a good enough airflow? I have 270r corsair with 2 intakes and 1 exhaust with open holes at the top. Is this considered good enough? When I opened it after +/-8 months there...

    Buuuuuuuut Gamer Nexus was killing it with basically artificial loads, so how useful is that really? I've never seen even one YT video test where gaming temps with this GPU went over 90 degrees, it was always +/- 84. So is that a big deal, really? And another question was do 3rd party...
