Arwanell got a reaction from DonBeto in Airflow inside my case (fan positioning)
Make the ones on top of the case to blow the air out
It's good to have more fans sucking air out of the case than blowing it inside
Less dust gets into the case that way
Also 3 in, 3 out, would be more balanced than 5 in 1 out

Thank you very much for helping me, I really appreciate it!

Unless you buy a higher refresh rate monitor, or higher resolution
I say it's overkill

OK, I will buy it later.
Thanks for the advice!

They are usualy pretty bad quality
Meant only for basic hardware
For something like 2060 it's strongly recommended to use good quality psu
Can you take a picture of it?

If I'm correct, the second one isn't XT
Just 5700

Ah yes, good eye! Missed that rather important detail.
The RX 5700XT is quite a bit better than the RX 5700 (not XT).

Hello all,
I recently finished up my new gaming build, there was some interest in it over on the folding thread so I figured I would make a small post here.
Parts list is as follows:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Asus X570-I Gaming mini-ITX Motherboard
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3600 (Lower Profile Heatsink)
eVGA 2080Ti Black Edition
Samsung 970 Evo Pro 1TB NVMe
Corsair SF750 Power Supply
Noctua NH-D15 Chromax.Black Edition w/ Covers
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut TIM
3 x NF-F12 Noctua Chomax.Black Fans
Corsair Commander Pro (Fan Control)
CableMod Black and White PSU Extension Kit
Lian Li TU150 Black w/ Glass Side
Win 10 Pro
Now, you can see if stuffed a 3900X and 2080Ti in a very small case, so naturally heat is an issue. Right now CPU idles around 40C and during gaming hits 60-65C, under CPU stress tests I saw it hit 80C max. I do have the CPU vCore set much lower than stock out of the box settings via BIOS but precision boost is enabled and regularly hits 4.3Ghz. The 2080Ti has a very minor overclock (+800 memory / +100 CPU) and stays right around 70-75C during benchmarking.
Runs every game maxed out so far, might need to finally invest in a 4k gaming monitor to use the 2080Ti to its full potential.

That's not true
What you are saying is that you shouldn't overclock with air coolers
There are tons of great air coolers

Exactly
4K medium looks a lot better than 1080p ultra for me

Arwanell got a reaction from Vejnemojnen in is 1650 super worth extra 30 dollars?
Very similar cards
You see diferences because some games run better on AMD cards, some on Nvidia
I would go for the 1650s because it's more recent, and Nvidia tends to be better with drivers

Arwanell reacted to .Apex. in [FIRST BUILD] Last Thoughts before order !
I didn't say it wasn't a great cooler, but either way I've made a mistake since the 3600 comes with the Wraith Stealth and the 212 EVO is a big upgrade over that.

Arwanell reacted to BrandonTheCat in F@H question
Yeah CPU is included in the mix, but the GPU does most of the work.
My 5820K will get around 20,000 PPD
But my GTX 980 will get 250,000+ PPD

Well, at 4K CPU impact is lower than @ 1080p, remember that

Of course, When you're trying to check CPU bottlenecks you run the lowest resolution possible to rule out the GPU impact entirely, because while GPU-intensity of games scales with resolution extremely bad, that at 4K some games are unplayable on some GPUs (like R9 380) but run great at 1080p, the CPU has to do the exact same job as it had to do at 1080p, so your GPU bottlenecks much earlier than it does at 4K, therefore it's like your GPU is able to run games at 60FPS at 1080p, the CPU needs to work hard enough to keep up with it, but if it only generates 30FPS at 4K, it only needs to run hard enough so the game is at 30FPS without bottlenecking, that's half of what it needs to do at 1080p for example
