So, I need help deciding how to upgrade the cooling with my set up. I have a R7 5800x with a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 and a Sapphire Pulse 6700xt. I am running near 165 fps in most titles at 1440p at 165hz. My case (Corsair 4000x) has a 360mm aio front panel. Currently my plan is to get a 360 aio for my cpu and hopefully overclock it. I have two questions. Will overclocking my cpu get me more consistent 165fps or am I bottlenecked by the gpu? If my gpu is the bottleneck, would watercooling it with a 360mm aio make sense?

Thanks for that information! Im thinking I will try to buy one of these cards at microcenter and depending on the difficulty of that I will buy this. There was also a $150 discount and $200 in tax included in the total cost.

Does good thermal paste make a difference? Any other opinions/advice/links for setting up a pc so that you don't get crashes or performance issues... Thank you.

Thank you!

Looking for a low cost board that is compatible with a ryzen 2600 and an NVMe SSD. Any suggestions? Is it possible to find a board with only 1 PCIe?I only ever use one...

Pretty sweet convex/reverse-convex lens, some pretty clever engineering right there. Hopefully it's successful.
