Thanks for the reply. Would that matter though? I thought the i9-10900k was PCIe gen 3, not 4.

Hi all, Just a quick question. I'm getting ready for my new build once the new 30 series GPUs come out but I have a question. I had planned to use Lian Li's Vertical GPU Mount in my Lancool II Mesh for aesthetic reasons, until I realised it has a speed limitation of 8Gb/s. How much would this...

Okay, fair enough. I probably won't get new RAM then. I didn't know if I had cheaped out on them to begin with. Thanks for the help!

No, no editing, only gaming. I hadn't considered that about DDR5. Good point. Is there any RAM that would say is significantly better than mine, or would it be better to stick with what I have?

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking of upgrading my two current Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz 8GB sticks to two Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200Mhz 16GB sticks. I don't quite know if this is a particularly wise idea. I bought the Vengeance sticks because they were around £100 cheaper than the...

Hello all, I am thinking of upgrading my RAM in the near future and have a question regarding it. I know how to physically install the sticks into my motherboard RAM slots, but I'm not sure what to do after that. Do I need to play with any settings in my BIOS? Or should everything be up and...

Hello, I am thinking about going with either an NZXT Kraken X62 or X72 to cool my i7-9700K overclocked to 4.7GHz. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which one I should choose? Money is no issue here as I am simply wondering which would give me greater performance. I've seen reviews...

Okay, good points all. The two other companies I’ve heard mentioned in the same breath (or typed sentence) is Swiftech and EK. Are their AIOs on the same level as AlphaCool’s? Not that I dislike the AlphaCool, I’m simply trying to consider every option.

Thanks for the reply and recommendation. It has a nice, sturdy look to it and it certainly seems like one of the best-made coolers out there. For the sake of comparison what do you think of more mainstream coolers like the NZXT Kraken X72 or the CoolerMaster AIOs?

Hello, I am looking to get the Fractal Design Meshify S2 and I want to upgrade my Noctua NH-D15. It is fantastic at cooling my i7-9700k when overclocked to 4.7 GHz but I really like the look of AIOs. If I were to get an AIO what would be everyone's recommendations? I'm new to water-cooling so I...

Sorry to ask again but what is your opinion on the CoolerMaster H500 Mesh? I’m looking on Scan and Overclockers for all of the mesh panelled cases I can find and that one has been reviewed quite a lot.

I think on second thoughts I probably will go with the Meshify S2. I think it will probably be the safer option. For cooling I will probably go with three Noctua NF-A14 fans at the front and one at the rear and top rear for exhaust. My CPU cooler will also be a beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. Is that...

Interesting. The only reason why I even looked at the H500 (apart of the aesthetics) was the temperatures others have reported. There are many completed builds on PCPartPicker, for example, which have a similar setup to mine and their temps don't seem too bad. Examples...

Thanks for the reply. I've had a rethink and now have two ideas in mind - one that is air cooled with the Meshify and the other would be water cooled with the NZXT H500. I've seen reviews of the H500 and the temps are surprising good for a none-mesh case. If I went down the route of watercooling...

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade my PC case as I've been disappointed by the build quality of the one I have now. It is a Corsair 780T and although it gives great cooling performance the build quality seems rather bad. The plastic from which the case is made out of seems flimsy and there are...
