Yea I have seen temperatures fluctuate on other CPUs but not like this. From what everyone is saying it seems like this is normal. I am sure there is a reason for the spiking and dropping of temperature, might be related default settings on the x570 motherboards. But if you guys say its normal...

Hello Everyone, I just finished building my new rig and everything seems okay besides the CPU temp ( I do have to adjust memory speeds but I was more concerned of how hot things were getting since I have a custom loop running) . I am not sure if this is normal, I have been reading about a lot...

I am currently building a PC desk case and the GPU is stationed right next to the motherboard. I couldn't mount it on the motherboard because the card came with a waterblock (MSI rtx 2080 seahawk ek x) and the ports where the tubes get connected does not clear where the glass gets placed. So I...

Awesome thanks for the info! Now is there a difference in actual size of the M.2 drives? Like the ones that are 3 inches vs 4inches? Or does that have to do with the form factor? Much appreciated for the resource guide, lots of good info there!

Hello Everyone, I have recently bought a MSI MEG x570 ACE. It has 3 slots for M.2. (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-ACE) I am pretty new to M.2s and haven't put too much time in researching more information about them. I just want to make sure that I don't mess up and get the wrong...

Nice that must be super convenient! Sometimes the thick power cables and disrupt air flow in a case (happened to me learned the hardway). Small things like this helps out!

Nice, congrats on the first build! How is your cable management going?

True

Almost a 20 degree difference is huge. Maybe after a few months of running the card under heavy loads you can change the thermal paste and could also help in temperature by a few degrees.

This should fix the problem if you are using default settings.

Hello, I am currently building a case and will need to use a Riser cable for one of the GPUs in the case. I decided to go with Thermaltake AC-050-CO1OTN-C1 TT Premium PCI-E x16 3.0 Extender Riser Cable 600mm based off reviews and recommendations from friends who have used it before. What kind...

Yea alot of people are switching from intel to AMD, intel cpu comes with integrated gpu, AMD does not unless specified. Ryzen 3900x does not come with an integrated GPU. My recommendation for gpu to use for testing hard ware is this one...

These fans have two cables, one is a 3-pin and the other is a 4-pin. The 3-pin connector is a power connection which (power hub/splitter not included) will provide power to make the fans spin, but will not illuminate the LEDs at all. You NEED the LED control hub (the included LED CONTROL hub...

So i am not an expert on temperatures and over clocking but I do know a few things that can possibly help lower the temperatures. One thing you do need to know is when you overclock, you are adding more juice to the chips and its normal for them to get warmer. There are multiple ways to...

Well I was going to use distilled water only originally but I was wondering if there is something you guys add to the distilled water to clear/clean out the components? So 91% iso with distilled water?
