Thanks @Phaaze88 , appreciate your response. In fact, I removed the dust filter from top exhaust and this alone further decresed water temp by 1-2 C. I really wanted to move to full custom cooling, however I'm a bit reluctunt to waterblock my GPU, as I haven't done it before (or water cooling)...

Hi all, I'm running a 5950x CPU cooled with a 2 year old NZXT x62 (280mm with 140mm fans). Let me list PC specs: Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL CPU: 5950x Cooler: NZXT x62 (280mm with 140mm fans) GPU: Red Devil 6900 XT Fan setup: 3x bottom and 3x side QL 120 intake running at 1000 rpm, 1 QL 120...

Warranty is for 5 years and I'm currently less than 2 months in it (that's why i got concerned about the remaining life figure being 95%)

Thanks for all of the responses. It's still not clear to me, is it something to be concerned of? I do keep backups so I wouldn't worry much about the data, what worries me is the life expectancy of the drive. Cheers

Hi all, I currently own two Aorus NVME SSD drives: First one is the older Gigabyte Aorus SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe (5 GB/s, 4.4 GB/s) which I own for around 2years and I've used it as my primary drive until I I bought the new one. It's drive estimated remaining life is 99% as reported by the software...

Thanks, got a razor blade, however it seems to be flexing thus not sure it'll do the job. I guess I'll try he mechanical pencil approach

Stupidity kicked in while I was placing the CPU back in it's box, carelessly got it upside down and bent some pins while closing it up, can be seen in the screenshots below: I know it doesn't look awfully bad, can something go wrong while bending them back (haven't done that before)? Any...

Sure here it is from the front: View: https://i.imgur.com/0bLyUnr.png

Hi all, While installing the DDR4 memory, it seems that somehow I managed to break two tiny pin-like pieces on the memory slot (G.SKILL Trident Z), you can see the image here (red circles highlighting 4 of those, this is not the module with the broken ones shown here): View...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've updated the BIOS very recently (2 days ago). With regard to idle tempratures, it depends. Most if the time it's between 37 - 46 C (I guess windows spawns background tasks that cause temp to go up a little?). Some people suggested that having the fans installed...

My first post here so hello to everyone! After several years I decided to build a new PC (all AMD) and I finished it couple of days ago, however I've been having some problems (?) with the CPU. Hardware is the following: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x Mobo: Gigabyte aorus master x570 RAM: G.Skill...
