  1. Ok in my case sometimes I run an AIO (280 front mounted intake set to pull to be precise) and other times as documented below I run an air cooler. When I use the AIO I have my top fans set to exhaust, since a lot of the air that comes in from the rad isn't that cool now, better to just get it out, using fan curves to make sure the pressure isn't negative. However, when I have the air cooler installed I like to set my top fans to intake. And the reason for this is, I see the AIO a little bit as a mid exhaust fan, so any heat that does come off the GPU will just get soaked up by the AIO Setting the fans to intake (I like to have one inline with the cooler and one in front) I feel just helps keep the VRM and ram cool aswell. Anyone else use this theory or am I just speaking waffle?

    Case air flow

    I'd have one at the front and one at the bottom (intake). . . . one at the back one at the top (exhaust)
  3. It was build last month from brand new. and havent got any HDD, so it is most likely a cap.
  4. My computer keeps making a Tssssshhhhhh noise, like every few seconds, sounds like a low volume ice cannon. . . Is that normal? it's not coil whine.
  5. well i mean there's too many variables to account for for me to compare my idle temps to yours, especially room ambient. I would say around 10-20 degrees above your room ambient is good. I'm currently at 48c on idle.
  6. Strange post to be making. Why do you care about having such a low idle temp? I have the 2080s by evga. This thing doesnt really go above 60c when gaming. And that's all i care about. I'd imagine your underload (gaming) temps are similar?
  7. I intend to, I just wanted to see if anyone could recommend me any components first. . . lol
  8. I kinda like them, i like how industrial they look, not too much fancy rgb etc
  9. few reasons. I wanna put a 360 in the front, 40mm thick. But I dont really have space for a reservoir, and also i dont really like the look of most AIO pumps, perhaps the NZXT pump head is nice with the infinity window, but with most AIOs come some sort of propriety fixing or software. I fancied just doing something abit different. so the respond question to that is. . . why not?
  10. Basically an AIO using custom parts and no reservoir? Can you post pictures please if you have?
  11. Hello guys. I'm from the UK, so preferably recommendations ins ££ I'm lookin for a monitor that is 27 inches, G Sync Compatible, pref. IPS, 5ms and under response time and 1440p Budget of £500 max, but would like it to be closer to £400. Any suggestions please? TIA
  12. Ryzen 5 3500 Corsair H100i V2 (Originally wanted to put the Fuma 2 in but it's on back order atm) Gigabyte Aorus Elite 16 GB Hyper Fury X Ram EVGA 2080 Super FTW3 WD Black sn750 NVMe Samsung Evo SSD RM850x Corsair 570x chassis May switch the fans out to ML series down the line.
  13. Very nice. I'm a fan of the Pure base 500
  14. Thanks I did it by adjusting fan curves. I took one look at Ryzen Master and bailed. looks complicated. I'm sure when you get used to it it's easy. thanks though.
  15. Ok thank you, Yes I did actually order a Fuma 2 with the build. But it's on back order atm. I'll try doing your suggestion now though.
  16. Hi guys can anyone help please i have made a new system yesterday with a ryzen 5 3600. the wraith stock cooler keeps sort of changing rpm and its annoying me. when i woke up this morning it was ok, but i had to unplug this pc to plug the old one in again to get some stuff off it and its doing it again. mobo is a aorus elite.
  17. gaming and photoshop, However I like playing sim city, and coaster planet and want to get the new total war warhammer game. Ok yes, waiting does make perfect sense also. I suppose it's just not worth buying those things if you already have 1151 socket.
  18. Anyone got any idea on pricing, don't want to go above £700 for ram/mobo/cpu thank you
  19. my mate is telling me to wait for the new chips in oct. should I listen? lol
  20. Yes that's what I'm thinking too. if I was cloning from a backed up mechanical drive that was old and full of crap, a new install would be nice, and a new fresh install is nice anyway, but there is literally only what I need on this drive atm as it is. Been deleted crap for over a year tryna save the odd spare 3/4 gb, and there's nothing left now, it's dry as a bone. Easier to just transfer it.
  21. Yes, I've thought about that, but I can't source a new OS atm
