Then I'll try first the curve optimizer. HOWEVER, do you think I could encounter any advantage with Option B (removing the top front fan)? Also, all fans are connected to the same fan hud/splitter (the one included in the 5000D), which means all are moving at the same speeds. Do you think this...

Ok ty, what would you suggest then to improve CPU thermals? An AIO?

All fans are 120mm Thermalright TL-C12CW-S, same as the ones included in my PA 120SE cooler. Case is a 5000D Airflow. OPTIONS: I have 10 of those fans, but currently I'm only using 7 as my setup is Option A. The problem is the 7800x3D is getting a bit warm for my liking: while gaming stays...

Ok, I surely trust a moderator with over 50k posts. I'll contact them now. Thanks a lot!

Corsair RM1000x shift. The undervolt settings were also removed after the first crash.

Hi. I have a Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC for less than a year, running with some mild undervolt with MSI AB, that has been stable since day 1. However, 5 days ago, I updated "successfully" the BIOS for the GPU. I updated the BIOS because the previous one had some fan revving issues and the new BIOS...

They cost exactly the same. I have a PE120se, it should be fine for both

Ok then. I'm going with the 4090 and the 7600x. Unless... it is worth to spend 90 bucks more on the 7700x. My plan would then be to upgrade cpu in 2-3 years (keeping the 4090 for another additional 2-3 years) maybe to a 8000x3D, or even 9000x3D if still fits on the AM5 socket

Let me dream, lol. I'm still running a gtx1070 with a 8600k@5GHz. 4k@80-120hz then. EDIT: also, you don't run games a "x amount of Hz", sorry if it was hard for you to understand that I was referring to my monitor/TV frequencies.

Would it be significantly different at 1440p?

Thank you for your insight. So, 7900xtx or 4090? And which cpu between 13600(-/k), 7600(-/x), 7800x3D or 5800x3D would you pair with your desired GPU? Among those options, and consirering I could only pair the 7800x3D with the 7900xtx, I want the best combo to play to play all types of games...

Well, after seeing all your answers, it seems I'm considering another cpu candidate for my pure gaming build: 7600x. What do you think? Reasons to choose the 7600x: Runs cooler & uses less power than intel 13600 (k/no-k). Is a newer platform compared to 5800x3D. Performs similar to 5800x3D...

Why the non-k version of the 13700? And why not a 13600k if I am going to use this pc only for gaming?

ES. Except the CPU, which is already refunded, and the GPU, I have everything packed and waiting to return some of those components depending on the final build option.

Hi, after spending 3 weeks researching PC components (I wasted a lot of time finding a mobo w/o intel ethernet chip + spdif), I decided to build a new gaming system around a 7800x3D for the next 4-5 years. Despite my last 2 systems being a 3570k and 8600k (both oc'ed and paired with a 1050ti and...
