iamthecpu reacted to Master Disaster in Question for the custom loop guys
Once your loop is built and tested leak free you can leave it running 24/7 if you choose. The only consideration is maintenance which SHOULD be done every 12 months however when I had my loop I used to do it every 24 months and Jay has gone on record as leaving loops for years with no ill effects.
Maintenance involves stripping the loop down entirely, cleaning the rad out with something usually acidic or alkaline, cleaning the pump out, cleaning the block out and preferably changing the tubes (assuming you have soft tubing). Its REALLY important to do it if your running a coloured fluid or a show fluid, not so much if you run clear and you can get kits that you mix with water and put into the loop (after draining the old fluid out) to clean everything without the need to strip everything down.

100% normal when gaming. You will have no issues with those temps at all.

iamthecpu reacted to ZexenPro in Opinions on new drive
It's a good drive for sure, I've used it in some NUCs, and yeah you can boot from it. the one thing that I would say is that unless you have a large HD or SSD in the same computer, i'd go at least 500 gig

iamthecpu reacted to Ellyroo in How good are Cooler Master AIO's?
the krakens are real expensive ;v; and i'm not gonna need super high end cooling for what i got planned, just as long as it keeps the cpu under 75 im happy
air cooler wise, i kind of want to try liquid cooling since i had a noctua one before that

iamthecpu reacted to W-L in Watercooling 24/7
Running a loop 24/7 isn't an issue mainly people worry about the pumps dying due to the long run time. Once you properly leak test and bleed a loop it's unlikely to leak suddenly unless something has failed. In most cases checking seals and changing old orings every so often can help prevent any chance of leaks occurring.

iamthecpu reacted to Mick Naughty in Card for Watercooling+Overclocking
Pretty vague over all. 1080ti’s dont oc well. Whole 10 series actually. Either go cheap or strix. Result will be the same. Assuming you are doing this for looks or some king of overclock record.

iamthecpu reacted to ACYah in SrtTrail Issue "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC"! Please help!
I found a solution When I booted into the USB, I booted into UFEI instead of the non-UFEI USB.

you need to update the bios first with the older CPU.

iamthecpu reacted to Damascus in TDP on 240mm aio
Like 400W on stock fans, get some vardars or gentle typhoons and you could boost it to 500W

iamthecpu reacted to emosun in Best Budget CPU for 1080p gaming?
So no budget limit then huh?
ok , I recommend a threadripper. Well actually , a quad socketed 2011 board would be faster provided you can make use of the extra cpu's. I supposed I'd recommend either of those seeing as we have no budget limit. Both should be quite good and suit your needs.

iamthecpu reacted to STRMfrmXMN in New build; need help!
That motherboard can't handle anything above an i5 for power delivery purposes. Look for a used CPU like one of the "s" SKU i5s. The 4460S would be a perfect HTPC CPU.

iamthecpu got a reaction from Daniel Stautland in Can I use this motherboard with a 1050ti or 1060
Yes, personally I would go with the 1060 as it has another power source and does not require the motherboard for all it power

iamthecpu reacted to EthanCoow in Can I use this motherboard with a 1050ti or 1060
It should work fine. Preferably it is a PCI-e 3.0 slot to provide the max bandwidth, but 2.0 or 2.1 is fine, just no 1.0.

iamthecpu reacted to IKnight in Can I use this motherboard with a 1050ti or 1060
There are also 1050ti cards that take a 6 pin connector.

iamthecpu got a reaction from serguzzle in Baby's first RGB - need help with synching
asus aurora sync will only work on asus motherboards and with asus cards. Unfortunately their is no unifying software out there to my knowledge. To answer you question this will cause issues with your computer.

iamthecpu reacted to JoostinOnline in what HDD should i buy ? how should i instal it
What size do you want. A WD Blue is always a solid choice for a 1TB drive.
As for installing it, just connect it to the motherboard with a SATA cable (buy one if you don't have an extra on hand) and connect it to your PSU with a SATA power connector.
Edit: This is assuming you have a desktop. Is it a laptop?

iamthecpu reacted to Electronics Wizardy in "RAM Drive" VS 2 x M.2 Raid 0 drives
No need to make a ram drive, you os will do that for you and cache the boot drive, but a ram disk is much faster.
Really a single m.2 is more than enough.

iamthecpu reacted to Max_Settings in "RAM Drive" VS 2 x M.2 Raid 0 drives
Remember RAM drives erase after a system shutoff. Just go for M.2

iamthecpu reacted to ARikozuM in Which card should I get?
I'd look into a used 970 or 980. These should be a bit more powerful around the same cost as those newer cards.
