Which is better for me with CPU air cooling? 1. Fractal Design Torrent Compact 2. Asus Prime AP 201 I plan to migrate from old case (fractal design core 1100). It does alright but PSU gets bit warm at high loads even with a 92mm rear fan at near full speed. My specs: Motherboard: Aorus B550M...

One of the cases I consider is Fractal Design Torrent Compact (I have mATX) although its PSU is at top? But should be still fine with large 2x 180 front fans?

Case: Fractal Design Core 1100, 1x 120mm front Noctua fan, 1x 120mm side fan (Silverston slim) with dust filter, 92mm Noctua rear fan GPU: RTX 3080 FE (undervolted to 850mb @1850 on avg running 270-280W at peak, but sometimes may peak to 310) CPU: R7 5700x PSU: Corsair SF600W (SFX form factor...

I have my little Corsair SFX 600W Power Supply in old budget case with PSU mount at the top. I have GPU that generates quite some heat but relatively low TDP CPU. During heavy utiliation my GPU stays around 75C and CPU 68-70C in ambient room temperature of 75F (23C). I think dont think thermals...

dang, I feel like fool having purchased Pure Dark's DLSS mod yesterday seeing today news Respawn released update with official support.

Sadly RPi CM4 are still out of stock and only on reseller scalper market for inflated prices on eBay. Would love to install it on dual NIC with built in sata m2 IO board to turn it into ARM router.

After flipping case to vertical position and flipping side panel fan to intake I got no more than 70C for both, huge difference by 10C.

Forgot to mention, the shelf above the the case is mesh and have no object put on top blocking the vent. The side case fan pushes out hot air from the GPU. So your advice would be first to flip the fan to draw cool air and just put the tower on vertical (normal) side.? Then the hot air from...

Do I need to manually adjust fan curve for my PC case fan or should I upgrade to better case? I recently built my HTPC for gaming, hosting Plex server in my living room. I chose case form factor based on sleeper look and clearance under 7" in my living room shelf cabinet. It fits well placed...

They were for about same price range on used market on eBay and at the week I looked mine was bidding for less than used rx6800 xt which for about few tens more could obtained as new XFX version from Amazon. If I didn’t own PS5, and gamed mostly on PC I would have probably went already with...

I installed nvidia drivers from rpm fusion repository to avoid having to manually update them when it’s time for new update. I maintain Ubunty AM/ML workstations for living and every one of them use Nvidia drivers with CUDA. I see various issue with nvidia especially when installing straight...

Ps. If any knows if there is a “legacy” big picture mode in Steam that would work for me, that would help :)

I decided to upgrade from RX6650xt to rtx 3080. I own AMD R7 5700x and 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz. I run my games on Linux (Nobara Project, Fedora 37 distro optimized for gaming) (huge Linux nerd I know, but got PS5 for windows only titles like Destiny 2). I only have 600W PSU (Corsair platinum rating)...

Yeah, but want to keep upgrade cost to minimum after selling the rx6600 (non-xt). I snagged 6650xt lightly used for $205 and while on eBay some used sell for a little more than that, it’s very hard to get unless it’s closer to $300 which didn’t want to pay about 1/3 more for just $10% speed...

After getting Forza Horizon 5, I gave it some though and went ahead decided to upgrade cpu to R5 5700x, faster ram (2133–>3600), and replacing Rx 6600 with RX6650XT. I will be able in future to upgrade card to high end like 4090 if I decide to after upgrading PSU 600W.
