Axeonelite

The drive capacity was my main reason for picking the case. I run my Plex Server as well as backup several generations of family photos, and do hobby game development on the side.  I knew it was not going to be silent, but it checked all the other boxes I needed for my build. 🙂 But thank you for the info! 

Hi! Welcome to the forum and the world of PC's! On that case their should be vent holes on the other side to provide fresh air through a channel. Just make sure to keep it off the wall a bit. I hope that helps!  *Picture shows white version of case for easier viewing. Same case though I believe*

I think your body is part of the answer. I doubt just common sense would say any parties involved would be cool with taking an idea that was a cross sponsorship with Intel and take it to AMD. Just kind of feels dirty.

I agree with @CommanderAlexbut I will say if you do end up repasting go big or go home with some liquid metal! My Razer Blade 15 went down 20 Degrees Celsius without any other updates.

Post your setups here, in this thread with thousands of replies that is pinned to the top of the forum.
 

Depends. Did it give any signs of malfunctioning before it died out? If it was a lightning storm or something else that can affect your components regardless of the quality of your components thats one thing. But if you've installed a new power supply and it works fine then you probably have nothing to worry about.  If it had shorted any parts or ruined them due to a surge you would've already seen the affects. 
 
If you have done any benchmarking previously you could always re-benchmark it and compare results. 

Depends on how custom the loop is.

Can a aircooler beat a custom loop with a 240mm radiator? Yeah.
Can a aircooler beat a custom loop with a 360mm radiator? Possibly.
Can a aircooler beat a custom loop with a 360mm and a 240mm radiator? Eh... No.
 
Edit:
But when it comes to price/performace: Screw watercooling!

so you don't have a ssd?
 
Then that is norml, windows 10 is very slow on a hard drive, and there isn't much you can do.

lol no tip required. PM me that way we aren't bumping old threads if you need any more help. I will try my best. 

"The Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Rosewill 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it." 
 
Direcltly from your PC Part Picker list compatibility errors. Is this an issue?  Is your ram in your bios set to the proper speed? Are you running in the proper dual channel setup with your ram? If your video card in the proper 16x PCI-e slot? 

Thank you again, honestly. 
I wish I had a way to tip you lol. 

XD well is modern trash better than vintage trash? I'd like to think so, but it Depends who the collector is I guess. Or the junkyard I should say. 
 
**EDIT** This comment applys only to the OS discussion at hand I am a bit fan of vintage hardware and the preservation of such. 

XD While a bit harsh I do agree. If a system is that old to be natively running that version of windows you may need to consider something lighter from your OS. Windows 8 was kind of a disaster so I would either go to 10 or if the hardware can't support it find something else. 

"Guys how do I upgrade from trash to trash??//?/??/"
 
 
Just clean install Windows 10 from a USB. What system is this? Something older would benefit from a light Linux distro.

this is better and less than 1200 (they can all be found on mindfactory)

If you can go without the laptop for a bit I'd sell it and then use that into your new total and build a whole new rig. BUT That is up to you. I just recently brought a 2019 Blade 15 Advanced with the 2070 Max-Q and i7-9750h. I spent $1600 on it and could have gotten a damn good desktop for that price, but for me I have just recently moved into an area with no internet. So in order to do work and to download games, I need to travel. And yes I could've got a laptop or a dekstop with desktop grade parts and way better performance with the same specs for cheaper, but I didn't want a 17inch brick that weighs 10 lbs. and I required portability. 
 
I payed for the Razer and Thin laptop Tax in order to fit my use case. Sure it ain't as powerful as I would like. But it's easy and works. So choose what's important to you and go with that.

okay then I'll leave it at stock!
and considering that the 1.4v burst is normal I won't touch that either

That's what I thought, thanks. It's a shame, if I could upgrade this one I would as I really like it, but I guess that's the price you pay for the slimline style etc.
