    Question Warranty questions, maintenance, radiator size, how many, case, how do you know if an AIO would work on a GPU specifically ones available at best buy?

    Custom loop as in you build the loop yourself if it leaks yeah you're busted since you build the loop and you're liable for anything that goes wrong with your loop. If you sent in a gpu in for rma due to a leakage they will just void your warranty and label it with water damage. Now aios are...

    Question 16-pin Adapter Question

    Yup as long as you don't daisy chain them like the above example on the right pic you're fine . Just make sure its fully seated and if your case side panel glass makes the cable bend too much just get a vertical mount. A 2.5 inch gap between the glass and connector should be fine. Don't crush...

    [SOLVED] Hard decision on GPU need advice

    Feature wise Id say go for the rtx 4080 if you care about RT and Content creation. Power and temperature were my main deciding factor when I was deciding between the two. On my Rtx 4080 Aero core hotspot barely hits 75c with an overclock 4k rt dlss quality + frame generation. I also told my...

    [SOLVED] Hard decision on GPU need advice

    Rtx 4080 or 7900xtx if you can find them for msrp. Or last gen 3090 / 6900xt so you can max out the refresh rate on your 240hz monitor. I have a 4080 and im able to max out every game I have even with rt at 4k. At 2k you'll hit the engine cap on apex. Supposedly the 4080 is getting a small price...

    Got possitive pressure in a O11 Dynamic with Lian li Al120 fans 6 intakes 3 bottom , 3 side and 3 exhaust at the top rad. Temps are super fine its just the water staining that starts to build up around every 3 months or so without coating the rads or metal parts in wd-40. With a coat of Wd-40 i...

    Question Is there a spray to protect pc components from humidity?

    A dehumidifier is a no go since the heat output on the room will increase drastically , and in the summer room temperature while gaming reaches 38.2c. Putting a dehumidifier in that room will boil me alive. For now Wd-40 is what ill be using to keep coating the rear io plate , radiator ...

    Question Is there a spray to protect pc components from humidity?

    Hi guys so I just moved to Puerto Rico and the humidity here is insane. 6 months after arriving I noticed that my gpu cooler fins started getting water staining. The rear io displayport housing started to rust a bit. So i got a few drops of wd-40 on the io plate and it got them right off. I...

    Question 4090 Brands Suggests Msi Asus Gigabyte

    Power limits don't matter in rtx 40 series. You're voltage locked at 1.1 volts. Even if you set our power limit to max , you will hit your voltage limit way before you can reach the "magical 600w". You will cap out at around 2.9 most of the time and 3 ghz with an overclock at around 470w. Id say...

    Question fps drops with xfx rx 5700

    What he ^ said. What im guessing from this is that he probably has this problem if he has the thicc model. Or since hes playing at 1080p 60 his gpu usage is so low hes getting fps drops. Increase Resolution wit vsr or render scale in game if it has one. But post your complete specs so we can...

    [SOLVED] Mixing Graphics Cards

    Maybe he thinks he can encode the stream on the lower end card while he plays on the other ? The stream will still look blocky since the 1650 doesn't have the improved NVENC encoder of the 1660.

    [SOLVED] Prevent windows update for good?

    Just get O&O Shut Up 10 and spybot anti beacon and block all telemetry. When you want to update reset all setting to default, update and reapply them again.I run both since some options are re-enabled on reboot after an update this keeps them from updating ever again...
