Yeah, thanks mate . I'll turn it anti-clockwise for the splayed octopus look and see how it goes.

I've a new Corsair 240mm H100 RGB installed on an i5-13500, top exhaust mounted in a Coolermaster TD300Mesh mATX. Pumps connected to AIO header, rad fans to CPU header - set to constant max speed. MB is an Asus B760m D4 WiFi. I'm aware of the need for the pump to be below the rad, air bubble...

Thank you both for your detailed responses. I posed this question because (and I should have mentioned this) there's no way for me to enter the bios anymore as I've already sold the CPU (separately). The TPM is built-in, I've never added one manually. So the only worry is security keys that...

I've been selling off a few previously used hardware components due to an upgrade (NOT the harddrives) and have a question about the B360M motherboard and TPM. I'm aware TPM holds cryptographic keys that can be used to lock systems or sensitive information such as with bitlocker, with which my...

I just installed a fresh win 11 on my new P44 Pro 1tb then had a look at their software. Synergy seemed rather useless considering their Storage tool app has nearly the same functionality, albeit without the fancy UI and 'Fast Lane', 'Clear Write Cache' setting options. Both these options...

Not sure if anyone knows this but the i5-13500 still isn't available in China. Intel is probably trying to maximize profit by pushing the i5-13490, however a large percentage of Chinese consumers are avoiding it due to it being only available in their market and have been choosing the 13400F...

Thanks for the chart Geofelt. The factory overclocks were indeed sth to consider. Personally they're just a sales gimmick though so I try and avoid them where possible. If I ever wanted to overclock my GPU it would be a lot higher than the small amount they add in. I agree with everything...

I've decided to go with the 13400F, Asus tuf B760m plus gaming replacing the same series B360m board I currently have, and after a small windfall in my new apartment renovation costs, a 4070ti. Going to upgrade PSU, but stick with Seasonic. Thermaltake in my opinion is pretty poor after all the...

Thank you. My PSU is the 'Core GX-650, [SSR-650LX], it's 2 years old now. I just noticed this after checking out the 13400F, and the price where I am is similar to previous gen versions surprisingly. I'd no idea that the 4070 was landing soon. I would have preferred the 4070 ti which is...

Bit of a quandary here. Wanting to buy a 3070ti, but not sure about CPU bottlenecks. Calculators (as people say) are seemingly useless, so I'm not sure what to do. Current System CPU: i5-8500 GPU: 1070ti Gigabyte Aorus Motherboard: Asus B360M plus gaming RAM: 16GB DDR 4 2666hz Corsair PSU...
