appreciate the info!

Hey y'all - been running a 5070Ti these last few weeks and today changed out 2x pcie cables + 12VHWPR adapter to a "single" Corsair 12VHWPR cable. (PSU: RM750x) This is my first NVIDIA gpu in a long time so I don't have much experience with this type of cable yet. First question I had -...

appreciate the info! Things seem good and stable - after posting yesterday I let a few 3DMark 20xloop stress tests run too and all passed fine on DOCP ... even with a moderate overclock on the gpu. so thanks again you helped in my decision to send my backup memory kit back. now I'm kind of...

Hey y'all, I recently got a new setup going with an Intel 265K + Asus Z890 motherboard and have a question about RAM (it had been a pretty long time since my last upgrade and I'm still catching up with Amd Expo vs. Intel XMP vs. DOCP etc.) I picked up a kit of G.Skill 2x48GB (96GB) DDR-6000...

yeah I hear you it just may not work out for this setup, and that's ok. cpu is a 5600x (cheap air cooler now) and the fans are pulling air in the bottom and out the top. overall it works well for what we use it for but was just thinking maybe i could do this 6800xt to 6900xt swap for...

Eximo by the way i feel dumb :disappointed: - thought I was replying to 2 different people and then realized both posts were yours when i re-read a bit ago. anyways, thanks again for all the info here - even if i don't go through with it this time now that I have a better idea of how this works...

wow, thanks a bunch for the info + shopping list! hmm, just may consider taking this on. I should've mentioned my case/other specs in the original post too - it's a relatively small mATX case (I put a link+pic in the above post). do you think it still may work, or too little room? I...

thanks for the info, appreciate it! I did come across the Kraken G12 but honestly was a little confused by the the product. Now I looked in the manual and appears you remove the original shroud/air cooler and attach an AIO type cooler to the GPU die? but I've also read a lot about VRMs...

Hi everyone - I've been building my own PCs nearly 30 years now but never dabbled in water/liquid cooling - always used air coolers - so it's a topic still a little intimidating to me. It may or may not have been a price mistake but recently I was able to reserve a refurbished Powercolor Liquid...

Hey good info on the crossfire 7850 setup. I know this card is really getting up there in age, but if you're still running it, have you tried with Witcher 3 by chance? :p i'm running 1440p res and this is really the only game i play that my single 7850 2gb is struggling with (playable fine on...

yeah my new drives have the 5 year warranty, the one that's toast only has a 3yr (expired) warranty. it could have been hotter than 51c, that was just the temp probe held up to the outer part of the underside. i dunno, if it wasn't the heat, something sure screwed it up.... maybe it's just...

yeah the 2 new drives are by the front intake fan, i think they are fine, decent temp readings. i moved my old drive that i was going to keep windows on up a bay, where a floppy could go... don't think any air was circulating there though, and there's only an inch maybe between it and the...

well guys I had the raid-0 set up but did something stupid and put my boot hdd in a bad place with no ventilation. think i fried it while it was running overnight...temp probe was showing 51c on the bottom (others around 38c), took a while to get it to detect the drive, wouldn't run WD...

thanks for the reply. yeah i've read some about gaming and stuff, so wasn't expecting a big boost with that. guess i'm just going to have to try it and mess with it and see how it goes. kind of funny i've been wanting to try it for years....but the more i research...the more unsure i seem to...
