    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review: Slightly faster than the 4080, but $200 cheaper

    Good point. And if a GT3RS would suddenly have performance like an Agera I can see why they would pump the price up simply because the tech to pull that of aint cheap. Would I still buy it? No simple because... it's still a Porsche :) It's alittle like if a Volvo V90 should cost 650k USD because...

    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review: Slightly faster than the 4080, but $200 cheaper

    Please keep in mind that this is for a new complete system. I buy everything new every time I upgrade. case, monitor, mouse, keyboard. Everything exept the sound system part. And I don't shop in the 100 dollar range as an example for cases. The one I have now as an example is the phanteks enthoo...

    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review: Slightly faster than the 4080, but $200 cheaper

    As always I vote with my wallet. And if the prices keeps up where they are now or even going up for the next generation. I am done with buying or building computers. Sad to be honest since I have been playing and building computers since Intel 166mhz era... And once you reach the point where you...

    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Rumored to Feature 20 GB VRAM

    Simple. At the pricing level that is going on overall in the GPU market. I vote with my wallet and I will not buy an 40xx card. Period. And if this keeps up with the next generation. I will most likely be done with PC gaming. Shame since it has been a great and fun hobby since the Commandore64 era.

    News Retailer Bundles $100 Steam Gift Card With RTX 40-Series Purchases

    And still no. The amount of money you have to throw at a 4xxx card is insane. I vote with my wallet and even if I want a 4xxx card I will skip this generation. Vote with your wallet.

    Question Can I switch out my broken fan with a a different one?

    Any fan will work and NO you should really really not use the computer without a fan running on the radiator. While you are it, get a can of compressed air and maybe clean that dust out of the radiator.

    Question ASUS ROG Strix LC II versus Arctic Liquid Freezer II ?

    When it comes to AIO`s it does not matter what brand you pick. Its the same company that makes them all and that is Asetek. Only difference is the plastic around the pump. The radiator and pump is all made by Asetek.

    Question Fan CFM

    It does not matter if you have a 10 CFM or a 100 CFM fan if your case choke the fans. Example: A case with solid glass panel in front that only leaves a tiny tiny gap for the fan to pull air from. So to put it simple. Make sure you pick a case that support good airflow. Have 2 or 3 fans in...

    Build Advice EK Water Cooled - for a total noob in WC

    Man it has been ages since I have posted something in this forum :) But I am back for the moment :) Back in the Intel i7 6700k - 7700k and Nvidia 980 - 1080 a good rule to follow was to use 1 x 120 / 140mm radiator for each component. Now this was not written in stone more like a rule of thumb...
