Hello, I just purchased an used Noctua NH-D15s so it doesn't bring Noctua's stock thermal paste, which means I'll have to buy the paste separately. What is the best one I can get for this cooler hooked up to a 3700x? Thank you!

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer once again! So, the Compact I was looking at is the white version which has no glass panel on the cable management side, just a normal plate, so the shattering wouldn't be an issue, and the Compact does have one single 3.5" mounting tray on the top...

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I did some searching around and I love that the Silent Base 802 is modular, that's a pretty cool concept, I like the idea of adapting it to different situations and the white version is definitely pretty. Unfortunately it seems to be pretty out of my...

Hey, everyone! My job consists of mostly video editing and some motion graphics. I mainly use Premiere and After Effects for this end. I usually work with either 1080p60 or 2160p30 footage, and sporadically 4k at 120fps too. I'm from Portugal. My current setup is as follows: - CPU: AMD Ryzen...

Thanks a ton for all the help, my brain can finally rest now lol Very clear and informative answers, super appreciate it!

Thank you so much to the both of you! Someone suggested I get a separate faster SSD as well, preferably Gen4, for the scratch space. I'm looking at a Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen4 500GB SSD M.2 at a seemingly really good price, 60€ down from 110€. I initially immediately thought it to be a good...

Thank you so much! So the Cache/Scratch Disk would be stored in the 970 EVO as well, correct? Yup, you are right, I completely forgot about backups. So these would logically be in a different drive in case the 970 EVO failed, I assume. Could I use the 1TB HDD for this purpose? What I'm...

Thanks for your replies! What would you recommend between 650w and 750w in that case?

Hello! Currently planning a build for the end of the month, here's what it looks like: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3XRJsZ The only thing that's left is deciding on the PSU. I'm getting the Seasonic Focus Plus, however, I don't know if I should go for 650w (94€) or 750w (109€), especially...

Thank you so much for your help, appreciate it! I'll be keeping my current RAM and upgrade down the road. Out of curiosity and for the sake of learning a bit more, what makes you prefer a 750w over a 650w upon overclocking? Can the wattage get very close to 650w after OC'ing? I think I'll keep...

Hey, everyone! Planning to do a massive upgrade to my computer at the end of this month. Here's what my rig will mainly focus on: VR Gaming; Streaming; Digital Art; Light Video Editing; Light Blender & Unity. My current build looks like this: My planned build looks like this: Naturally...

Greetings! I'm looking into upgrading my VR Rig, which will be used to play VR games(duh) and stream some of them. I don't exactly plan to overclock and I'd like to be able to pump the Supersampling in VR games up to anywhere between 1.5x and 2.0x. (but as they say, the more the merrier) I live...

Cheers! To make it easier for you, I resorted to a little form that'll make my needs easier to understand: Budget: Up to 165€/175€ ($188/$199) Usage: Mainly for my Nintendo Switch, I mostly play Super Smash Bros. and Octopath Traveler. May use it as a second monitor for my PC as well if it...

After debating a lot on whether to get a 2700x or a i7 8700/9700/9900k, I think I'm finally going to consider the 2700x, especially because of prices: 465€    2700x w/ Cooler + Motherboard 705€    9700k + Cooler + Motherboard 665€    8700k + Cooler + Motherboard 865€    9900k + Cooler +...
