For the motherboard, the ROG Maximus Z790 Formula is indeed a great choice for water cooling, as it has a built-in monoblock that covers the CPU and VRM. However, if you want an alternative, you can also check out the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Xtreme Waterforce.

For the RAM, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB is a good option, as it has a high frequency of 5600 MHz and a low latency of 13 ns.  Another option is the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB, which has an even higher frequency of 6600 MHz and a slightly lower latency of 10.3 ns.

For the SSD, the Samsung PM9A3 is a solid choice, as it has a fast read and write speed of up to 7000 MB/s and 5200 MB/s respectively. It also has a high endurance rating of 1200 TBW and a 5-year warranty. Another option is the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, which has a similar performance and endurance, but a lower price (Vendor dependent)

For the graphics card, Cyberpunk 2077 is a very demanding game, especially with ray tracing enabled. If you want to play it at maxed out settings, you will need a powerful GPU. According to the official system requirements, the minimum GPU for ray tracing at 1080p is the GeForce RTX 2060, and the recommended GPU for ray tracing at 4K is the GeForce RTX 3080. However, these GPUs are pretty expensive right now, so you may have to compromise on the resolution or the settings. Some possible options for your budget are the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the PowerColor Fighter AMD Radeon RX 6600, or the PNY GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. These GPUs can run Cyberpunk 2077 at decent settings and frame rates, but you may have to lower some options or disable ray tracing for a smoother experience.

Reversing the direction of the water might help a little, but not enough to overcome the drawbacks I would think.
Inserting a second pump halfway through the radiators will improve the flow rate, but it will also increase the complexity, cost, and noise of your system.
You will also need to make sure that the two pumps are synchronized and compatible, otherwise they might interfere with each other.

The idea is definitely interesting and if you want to, go for it. However at the end of the day, an aftermarket passive heatsink case or using a single, large radiator with a performance/noise focused fan, or to use two or more radiators in parallel instead of in series. This way, you can achieve better heat dissipation and lower noise levels without sacrificing too much space or reliability.

I'm doing something wrong because i progressed 15 hours into Valhalla and reached the 4th province in england with my main quests and i didn't find any story yet.
 
The game is a good showcase for how good 4K HDR games can look but that's about it.

From the information i'm seeing after having a quick search on the internet about the problem, your best bet would be to try an older Radeon GPU driver.

You can choose from all the past drivers at this link once you select your OS: https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/graphics/amd-radeon-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt
 
Uninstall your old driver using DisplayDriverUninstaller(DDU), walkthrough here: 

 

A quick google brought me to this page:

Please do your own research.

Of course its a great combo.

For anyone who knows, why is a solo chip like this necessary to help with HDR+ and such? Why couldn't the main processor do it? Is it really that intense?

Use some kind of load (prepare fire extinguisher for the mobo) and then check the voltage with HWInfo64.
Idle voltage tends to be high (1.35V) and load one low (1.2V)
The higher idle voltage is normal.
 

Maybe set it up properly? Ive never had a problem with anything. The biggest problem ive had is when i overclock too high

According to the article, it sounds like the chip makes the HDR+ “5x faster and [use] less than 1/10th the energy” (Savov) as apposed to without. I think it is generally accepted at this point that the Pixel 2's camera capabilities are superior to any other phone on the market, so it must a pretty beneficial as apposed to just the main processor.

If they build it and break something, they surely have to replace it. Might as well let them do it.

Well, I'd see what their fine print is in case they disclaim all liability for some stupid reason.

I prefer the Pro 3. At this point though the problem will be the thermal non-conductor underneath the lid.

I dont know where youre going to find a watercooler that's less that $60 USD that cools better then this guy.
It will be okay if you dont OC really hard. If you do, you'll have to turn the fans up pretty high

What I would try then is a line of thermal paste parallel to the longest side,in the middle of the die, then spread it out, you want to aim for a thin layer covering the die, before tightening the cooler down let it sit on the GPU for a minute or two first, to let the air escape.Maximising contact between the cooler and the GPU. It may only help a bit but it should be noticeable. Make sure that the cooler is tightened down properly too. 

All i wish for is no visual downgrade.

NOTE: This is not an introduction to bitcoin mining. 
This thread was made to try and help anyone interested in understanding what they are and how they work, using the best of the knowledge and experience I have of them. I am by no means an expert. There is much about them that I do not know.   What are bitcoins? They are no different than a dollar bill you hold in your hand. Except for the fact that it's being held in your computer's hand, so to speak. The first thing to understand about currencies is that their worth is totally arbitrary. Think of currency as replacing the word "value". I can begin paying for items in paperclips as long as me, and the people receiving them accept their value. Bitcoins are simply a decentralized, digital currency. Decentralized means they don't have something like the Treasury here in America regulating and watching over them.   How do I get bitcoins? By running "mining" software on your computer is the best way to produce bitcoins. The term mining in bitcoin speak means using your computer's processing power to calculate many many hashes per second. These hashes you calculate help the bitcoin network run effectively (more on that later) so you are rewarded for your help.   What is mining? This is the most misunderstood part of bitcoins so this section will have a lot to explain. To understand why we mine, you need to understand at least the basics of how the bitcoin network operates. Mining is done to protect the bitcoin currency and the transactions of bitcoins that people send. When a transaction is made, the data is sent to the bitcoin network. Transactions are stored in chunks called "blocks". When you mine, the bitcoin network sends you a block to "solve". Your computer takes it and randomly shuffles the information inside of it, then calculates a new hash for it. What the miners are mining for is a hash that is smaller than a certain predefined amount. (starts with a certain number of zeros. Since the hashes are randomly generated, you can imagine how unlikely that many zeros in a row are) This amount is the "difficulty" which is calculated automatically by bitcoin software based on how quickly the blocks are being finished by the miners. This corrects for increasing hardware performance and mining speeds. Once a block is finished by a miner, the new block and new hash are sent back to the bitcoin network. If it is confirmed to be correct, the miner is rewarded with bitcoins. The current reward is 25 bitcoins per block. The reward for a block is constantly diminishing until eventually, there are no more bitcoins to give out and all roughly 21 million bitcoins are in the market*. Due to the popularity of bitcoins and the large amounts of money that people spend on mining rigs, the difficulty is high enough that a very expensive equipment would have to run for months just to solve one block. This would certainly be inconvenient for anyone wanting to mine. We fix this by creating "pools". A pool takes place of an individual miner in a sense. They take the blocks from the network and instead of one person calculating hashes, the pool sends the job out to all of the miners that are in the pool. For example, I mine for the BTC Guild pool. When the pool finishes a block, it divides the reward (as evenly as possible) to the miners depending on how much work they did. This gives people a nearly constant flow of income and allows cheaper hardware to mine. Blocks sent to the network are calculated in a special way so that they can certify validity of the previous block. This confirmation process creates a "block chain" which is what makes the currency so great.   Bitcoin transactions Every transaction of bitcoins that happens is logged and can be publicly accessed. This, by definition, can forfeit the anonymity of the currency. You make transactions using an "address" which is randomly generated by software and is not tied to your true identity. Everyone can search any transaction that has been made but there are no identities attached so it actually makes it very difficult to trace. Bitcoin transactions can not be reversed.    Random Info *Q: You said there are 21 million bitcoins? After they are gone, what happens? I can't get them anymore? A: No, you just can't get "new" ones anymore. Once the pool of bitcoins is depleted mining will still be essential to the network and you will still receive a reward for your work. When transactions are made, there are small transaction fees that are taken out. These fees are the rewards given to the miners.   Q: Are they legal? A: Yes. Nothing about them is illegal.   Q: Don't people only use them to buy drugs? A: NO! Stop spreading that. They can be used for anything just like other currencies. The fact that drug dealers on TOR accept them, doesn't make them bad.     There is so much more about them to know but I made this relatively short. Have questions? Post them in this thread and I will answer!
