Hi. Kinda late to the party. This is my first time writing a post even though I have been watching LTT for probably 11 years. I would not recommend buying a NHD 15 for a 13700K. I switched from an 8700K OC@ 4.7GHz using the same noctua (they provided a mounting kit for the new rig). GPU: RTX 3080 and Chassis: Lian Li Lancool II. To my surprise in the stress test it was unable to keep the 13700K sufficiently cooled after even a small OC. It's fair to say, in that case, do not OC. I would also say not to buy the K version then. After the fact, I read some topics and found out that the most the NHD 15 can handle is 180W. 13700K is 253W MTP. At the same price point you can get an AC Liquid Freezer II that can tame this beast. I'd like to see some insight into how they measured or why they chose the 13700 with K and didn't take into account the thermal overhead available. Obviously in games it doesn't matter (at least for now) and is fine, but when running some heavy workload, it lowers the clocks.

HTC has one of the best designs and build quality. I just love it. Moreover i really like the LCD display over AMOLED. It would be nice to switch to M8 from my Desire Z, even if i have to get used to touch keyboard.

Love your show guys. Greeting from Poland
