Oh sorry I'm using an AIO. The Kraken x62 280mm

So I have the Enthoo Pro M TG and I used to have the 1800x running at 3.9 Ghz at 1.3375 volts stable on all cores. At first I had the rad at the front as intake in a push/pull configuration. Great temps but for some reason the GPU was getting warmer cause the air blowing into the case was warmer so I moved the rad as an exhaust at the top. Got the same temps as before. However I just put the 2700x in the case with the same cooling config and the temps are more erratic at 4.1 at 1.34. I'm trying to get higher overclocks but the same voltages as before are giving me temps up in the 70-80s under heavy load in AIDA with Stress FPU enabled. Disable that the temps drop 10 degrees and stay stable. If I go higher the temps stay similar at FPU but it does crash eventually. Should I move the rad back front? It's a pain installing it at the front, I can't see the mounting holes properly and I scratched the s***t out of my rad doing it.

So, the temps drop into more realistic and more stable with FPU stress off. Which is probably a more realistic work load. Does stressing the FPU serve any purpose other than frying the chip?

Alright so I'm playing around a little. Might have squeezed out a little too much of thermal compound but whatever. Seem to be reaching 4.15 at 1.32 volts. Running AIDA64 with temps in the 70s with the Kraken x62. SOC volts at 1.2, LLC at 3. Seem to need quite a lot of volts to get it at 4.2 :(

Yes, my 1800x reaches 3.9 on 1.3375 volts. Hopefully I'll be able to reach somewhere around the 4.3 mark.

So I just got a good deal on a 2700x, freeing up my 1800x for other things. But I'm keeping my C6H X370 mobo for the 2700x. Before I install it though I want to know what kind of overclocks owners are getting and on what voltage. Obviously I know this can vastly vary between chips but I'm curios. Whats the most common reachable OC?

I originally had the rad at the front with a push pull configuration. However the GPU wasn't getting as much air as I wanted with that configuration so I put it up top and had the intake fans blow right onto the GPU or close to it at least. For what it's worth I'm getting just as good or even better CPU temps with the rad at top exhausting than I was with it intaking.

I have the Enthoo Pro M TG with two intake fans at the front and then two fans on a radiator mounted at the top exhausting air through the rad. CPU temps are great, GPU temps decent, could be better (50ish on a 1080Ti idling after a gaming session). I'm wondering if the rear exhaust fan is actually doing anything since I already have the 2 at the top.

So here is what I'm hoping to do. Also just for the geekines of it. Have the network share and the Plex server on a static IP on one of the ports and then just a standard DHCP on the other port for the rest of the stuff.

Well not really. It's an i5 haswell system that I'm upgrading, since it was starting to show it's age a bit especially with games and Plex streaming at times. Network wise it has been alright, but since this motherboard does have the two LAN ports I'm wondering if this doable, wether or not I'll see any gains from it.

I'm not looking for any extra speed. Just to have the two different traffic seperated. I'm hoping it would help with data transfers while gaming or doing something else network intensive.

So, I'm upgrading my Plex server / Living room gaming PC with used parts. 6700k, H270M-ITX (yes, I know no OC and RAM runs at 2133) which has dual LAN ports. I have 1Gbps symmetrical but just using regular consumer switches that don't support Link Aggregation so I'm not using two cables for double the speed. I am however wondering if I could hook up both ports and utilze one for just file transfers through the network, I have the Plex drive as a shared network folder, and then the other one for regular WIndows and gaming network usage? So one port to handle traffic from the shared network drive and Plex folders and then the other one for regular usage.

So I have the NZXT Kraken x62 and recently CAM software that controls the fans, lights and all that has been driving me nuts. It has had THREE updates in THREE days now and each one is making it worse. At one point 60° on the CPU locked the fans to 100% and for some reason the fan curves just don't take. Anyway, my case (Enthoo Pro M TG) can fit a 360 rad at the top which is where I have the x62 as exhaust so I'm wondering if the H150i Pro would be a good option sound and performance wise instead of the Kraken, CAM is just driving me insane. Or maybe the 115i Pro would be better, I do like the shorter rad the 280s have but maybe the 360 will look better filling up the case more?

So, I have the AT-LP120 and I'm happy with it, I know there are better units out there but it's great for the price. But I'm curious about possible upgrades, so I'm looking at maybe getting a new stylus instead of the stock one and maybe a new mat. I've heard that this stylus https://www.lpgear.com/product/LPGCFN95SE.html is a massive but very affordable upgrade from the stock stylus but I don't know if it'll be worth it or very noticeable with my setup. Basically because of space issues I ditched my bulky amp for a Schiit Magni headphone amp and I'm very happy with it but I wonder if I'll notice any sound improvement with a new stylus through a small amp like that. Also, are there any compact amps that would fit in an IKEA Kallax unit?

I was set on pulling the trigger on the WD Red but I wondered about the lower RPM speeds. 5400 vs the 7200 of the others. The consumer grade drive I have now is blazing fast copying files to it through 1Gbps network. But maybe the difference isn't that obvious.

So I'm looking to expand the storage in my media centre pc which also doubles as a makeshift NAS (temporary solution, I hope) I currently have a 2TB P300 drive from Toshiba which is almost full so in the next few days I'm gonna have to upgrade. I'm thinking of going for 8TB just so I don't have to upgrade again for few years hopefully. Initially I was gonna go for the Seagate IronWolf, however after researching a bit I've been put off by reports of people having issues with the drive making a loud buzzing sound when it's idle which is a bit of a deal breaker since this will be in a PC in my living room. The only options I have where I live is the WD RED, the aforementioned Iron Wolf from Seagate and then the N300 series from Toshiba which has piqued my interest a bit. I've been very happy with my current Toshiba drive so I'm inclined to give it a try, has anyone here ever used the Toshiba NAS drives, if so how's the acoustics and long term performance been?

PG279Q Sticking with Ryzen. Amazing performance across the board so far.

Well I have the 1080Ti Need more than spare cash to upgrade from that......... I did wonder about getting higher speed memory, at 3200 now.

So I have a bit of extra cash laying around and I'm wondering if I should use it to upgrade my 1800x to the newly released 2700x. Not doing any mobo upgrades, still going to be using the C6H X370 Is it worth it? My 1800x is stable at 3.9Ghz at 1.33 VCORE which is very good. However, in order to get through the 4Ghz barrier I need to go well over 1.4 Vcore which I'm not really comfortable with in the long run. I did manage to game a bit on the cpu at 4.0 before it became unstable. I did notice a marked improvement in FPS with just 100Mhz bump. So if the 2700x is reaching above 4.0 I can't help but wonder if that's a worthy upgrade.

Have you updated to Windows 1803? I did and I have this very issue on my home network. I don't see any network pc's in Windows anymore. Except on one laptop still running 1709

So, when I went for the Ryzen platform I went with the G.Skill FlareX 3200 RAM. A decision I've not regretted it has been running on it 3200 since day one with no issues on my C6H. However I do wonder now that the 2000 line from AMD is offering slightly better performance I'm wondering if I could squeeze out a bit more juice from my system by OCing the RAM? My 1800x is running at 3.9Ghz on 1.3375 volts and is rock steady and stable, I can push it up to 4 at just over 1.35 and higher LLC and 4.1 at much higher voltages, basically not worth the extra heat for minimal gains. So I'm looking at the RAM to maybe get that extra performance. Has anyone had any luck in OCing the FlareX to higher frequencies. I'm looking at 3600-3800 without any issues. Will I need to loosen the timings a bit? Messing around with the timings is the only time I've had BSOD issues with this setup.

Alright. Probably won't be getting it then, unless I find a good deal and can sell the x62 for a bit of cash. It's not sold locally where I live so it could go quick, despite some bent fins and scuff marks around the screwholes

So I recently got a new case, went from the S340 Elite to the Enthoo Pro M TG. Much better cooling and much more open case. But the S340 Elite supported max 280mm rad so I got the x62 Kraken. However I'm now wondering if I should upgrade to a 360mm rad such as the newly x72 Kraken. Is there any performance difference? The 72 is longer but narrower but the x62 is wider. So I wonder if the cooling performance is similar. Worthy upgrade?

We are the most expensive country in the world I always laugh a bit when I watch tech tube videos and the complain about steep prices of for instance the 1080Ti at launch. 700 USD. I bought mine here for nearly 1300 USD last year haha. I did however find the i3 8100 marked down at 99 bucks although it has now been lowered even further to 89! https://tolvutaekni.is/collections/orgjorvar/products/intel-core-i3-8100-3-6ghz-coffee-lake-4-kjarna-6mb-cache This store also sells the Arctic eSports for around the same price as the CPU. Basically with the pricing here 20 dollar difference between two decent coolers for instance is nothing while a price difference like that is often mentioned in videos I watch on Youtube.

Like I mentioned above. Iceland.
