It matches those figures perfectly. Now I guess I need to check the FPS in popular games.

I'm just buying stuff on deals 😆 I got a good deal on the cooler and as I could be upgrading to the new AMD processors (9800X3D?), I thought why not? Regarding the PSU, I would be upgrading to a better 1000W+ unit soon. Just waiting for the new 3.1 PSUs to hit the market and reduce in price...

Btw, I just downloaded the EZbench UE5 benchmark from steam and it's stuck. Only a black screen is visible. I don't know if it's downloading any data or because of any issues.

Ryzen 5600x + X570 Tomahawk + G.Skill trident Z 16GBx 2 + 2 NVME SSDs and 2 SATA SSDs along with Arctic 420mm AIO and 6 case fans.

BTW, I have an XPG Core Reactor 650W PSU and I'm using the Corsair type 4 12VHPWR cable. During the stress test, the cable is warm to the touch near the connector! I'm guessing it's due to the GPU fans's hot air exhaust but do I need to be concerned?

So, I managed to fit everything! It was really difficult and frustrating! I had to invert the front case fan frame as it was hitting the tank of the radiator. Then I tried to fit the fan on the outside but the mesh cover was hitting the bottom fan. I solved it by fitting the fans to the inside...

So, I got a refurb RTX 4080 - Palit Game Rock, but when I try running the OCCT GPU Gfx core benchmark, the core frequency is only 2360 Mhz with a max clock of 2535 but the power consumed is like 330W. Is this behaviour normal? The card is close to the free return window and would love to hear...

I'll stick with the Lan Cool 3 and slim fan for now. Any recommendations apart from Arctic P14 slim?

So, I was thinking about returning the Lan Cool but since it's the fan that it's hitting tht RAM, can I solve it by replacing the middle fan with a slim fan? The interference is like 4mm. So I'm guessing it would be enough.

So I asked the graphics card orientation question in the PCMR discord and some people had issues when their graphics card were 'rotated'.

Meshify 2 XL is too pricey on Amazon UK. I'm trying see if I can get it under a deal. BTW, my favorite case is the CTE line from TT. But I'm concerned about the graphics card orientation. Some people say it would affect its vapour chamber operation.

So, Ceres 500 still not roomy enough for an easy install?

Ok, I would be sending it back. Now, I'm thinking I should get the best case for the money and stop worrying about moving it around. So, please suggest the best case around £150 for the best graphics card temps. As for CPU, I have the Arctic Liquid Freezer 420.

Do I need to send it back? Edit I bought it from Amazon. So it's easy to send it back.

My existing build has X570 Tomahawk with GSkill Trident Z Royal. The overlap is just 2mm but it's still a problem. This is a temporary setup until the next gen from either Amd or Intel. I'll get a lower profile ram and there would not be a problem. But for the current build, I need to find a...
