Back when I was more in the loop it seemed like this was the go to air cooler on a budget but it seems like they have disappeared at least in the US. On amazon and newegg it looks like its mostly just old stock being sold for way over msrp like some were over $100. Does anyone know what happened...

i ended up getting a used rtx 3070 and it works great. got a lot more performance vs getting something new the whole telling people to avoid used is a plague on this forum

Been looking at some gpu's both new and used. I was just planning on using this rx 580 that's been laying around forever but its only the 4GB version but I stream some stuff on twitch through different consoles, I like keeping my real life stuff separate so I always just use my old gaming pc as...

i kind of figured the units werent very good. think you just see them in so many of those microcenter builds people do on youtube because they sponsor the people making the videos and wanna make their house brands look good lol. probably just gonna get another season focus like i have in my main...

I just have seen mixed things about them as far as their oem and stuff like that. The two most common that I found were FSP, and EVGA. I was just considering buying one for this cheaper micro atx system that I've been parting out that will use a i5 12400f, rx 580 'its just a card that i had...

It's been great as far as gaming goes I'm def happy that I picked it over intel or any of the other amd options

I mentioned not having the motherboard yet, and that i was open to any of those 3 sockets

Does anyone know a good platform/xeon cpu that I could get with high core count maybe 12-16+ physical cores if possible, doesn't need to be ecc, and not looking for anything new obv for the price. I have a 32gb kit of ddr3 and a 32gb kit of ddr4 so it can be from either of those generations...

I ended up grabbing it just before it shot back up to $1200 so it was a pretty good deal. figured I wasn't gonna find much better for the price so ty for the reassurance

I recently upgraded my desktop and it has been running super good. Now I need a laptop; work in security as a malware analyst so in my main system I have about 64GB currently which has been more than enough I usually max out at around 36GB while working but while I'm on the go my laptop won't be...

i bought the 7800x3d for gaming and semi heavy vm use and i havent been super happy with it as far as vm stuff goes. I use vmware workstation pro and it just seems to lack the performance that i need. does the 7950x3d perform better in games if I swapped it out for that? if it does I would...

buying the last part that i need for my build soon but im not sure which 4080 super to get. I have a proper power supply and a really good cpu that pairs well with it so dont ask me to post the full build please. been out of the loop for awhile and i just wanna know if theres much of a...

Also noticed there was the 1000x from corsair but I don't know if that's any good either

So I was going to buy the corsair rm1000e power supply today since its one of the last parts that I had left to order but it randomly went up $30 so now I'm looking for a different one more within my budget. All of my previous systems have always been overclocked a fairly large amount so I went...

Thanks for all the replies and yeah I just have been out of the loop for awhile. I swapped out the psu for a 1000w one, kind of crazy how power hungry cards are now.
