■ Usually 4K movie editor require fast storage because we are dealing with rather huge file size, so I'd go for a most affordable M.2 or U.2 storage. ■ After you've made your choice on whatever storage that suit your need then cross check its compatibility with motherboard, most latest...

Go to www.extremerigs.net for more watercooling tech stuff, ■ You need heat gun and PETG bending kit. You can try candle to heat up PETG but it'll leave black stain. ■ Technically the bigger radiator and faster RPM = better cooling capability. The longer your loop length = require stronger...

Not sure where you pointing, but you can add more seasoning your potato

■ Usually we find out how much voltage our CPU can go with any cooler without playing with multiplier or bus speed, even motherboard has its own voltage capability limit, so first step is figuring out stability by voltage related setting. Later let say your build max Vcore is 1.3V then make this...

there're 140mm fans with 120mm screw holes, make sure it doesn't nudge other components first. Rather than use 140mm (with 120mm mounting such as silverstone fan) you can do push-pull, one fan is pushing air and one fan is pulling air. As mike said, H60 has weak pump (low flow rate and weak...

■ You can opt for EK AF X splitter instead Y. It is G1/4 thread doesn't matter what size of ID/OD fittings you use, they're G1/4, best spot of drain is at top's inlet for most build, but you can get be more creative according to your case orientation(vert or horz). ■ You also need heat gun and...

■ First of all you need to watch video tutorials on replacing TIM, if TIM replacement isn't working then get top TIM such as Hydronaut, MX5, just googling with keyword " best thermal grease". There're many good AM3 compatible cooler, one of them is Cryorig H7. ■ You can also add good fan that...

The Hardwarelabs GTR 280 push-pull opti-flowed with four 140mm fans, any ~ $20 around 1000 to 1200 RPM fans should be audible, it has manual on how to set opti-flow fan. HWL call it stealth mode, but it's pricey. There're no such thing as quiet case, the sound pressure can be reduce by good...

Yes you can dismantle open loop kit, I suggest you watch more video tutorials on hard tube water cooling. ■ Make sure the fittings inner and outer diameter = tube ID/OD, i.e the 13mm ID of fitting for 13mm OD tube. EKWB hard tube fitting is 12mm ID, still fit 13mm OD PETG tube but I wouldn't...

Are you doing serial pump single loop or separate loop for CPU & GPU? Is it for cooling only or add some aesthetic with rigid tube + colored coolant + ? Peak TDP ■ 150 watt CPU, start from ~ 95 watt OCd ■ 280 watt GPU start from ~ 250 watt You can keep that in a single loop with one D5 pump and...

i7 3770 isn't that hot, however I recommend expandable AIO such as Alphaccol Eisbaer, EKWB XLC Predator, Swiftech H, and Fractal Design Kelvin. Problem is https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/comrade-window#specs Bitfenix Comrade doesn't provide actual Radiator mounting so I...

■ The Z270 runs on dual channel RAM, even if you stuck four RAM sticks it'll still a dual channel bank with double capacity, more RAM mean more files/intructions can be load/allocated inside RAM which is faster than HDD/SSD where CPU can read a lot lot faster. ■ Before you purchase high speed...

■ There's watercool heatkiller IV pro aquacompyer cuplex kryos with silver you also need XSPC Ion + 240mm radiator + matching fittings and tubing + 2 or 4 120mm fan + distilled water or branded coolant. The fastest Hashwell is i7 4790K, Sniper B5 doesn't give i7 4790K its full potential OC so...

Artifact appeared because either VRAM is running out of power delivery (GPU core steal more from VRM) or the original cooler didn't cool the VRM area sufficiently, best practice is to find out how high your graphic card can draw power without raising clock speed, later you can increase clock...
