    Your GPU blocks are not properly configured if that's a parallel terminal, which it appears to be. Have your intake tube into the GPUs on the left, and the outflow tube on the right. I am honestly amazed they only hit 70c with that horrible misstep. Intake on the left, outtake on the right, plugs in all other positions.

    I will upgrade my gpu to 1000w and the case is perfect for the area I'm using it in so I don't want to change it. I do plan on changing the intake fan that's in the front on the case and putting a fan that can move more air

    Tighten timings on the memory, get a DR Slim cooler and enable XFR2 and PBO. Also make sure you've enabled XMP and update the GPU drivers

    Damascus reacted to SavageNeo in Help reaching 240 fps   
    rtx 2080 ti can be close with epic settings. Without any shadows other epic, rtx 2080 ti will do. Your cpu might be enough, but simple gpu upgrade will do it. Im not entirely sure thought since 240fps is pretty hard to get on high setting even on 1080p

    Yeah that's fine.  I'm going to assume your power supply can run a 1650s, because practically any psu can

    Damascus reacted to TechJezus in Does the thickness of a radiator matter?   
    https://www.xtremerigs.net/2015/02/11/radiator-round-2015/5/
    I see the case supports 2 x 360mm rads, but I couldent find anything about the thicknes it supports.
     
    My choices would be;
    Slim  30mm thick = hardware Labs black ice nemesis gts 360
     
    Medium 45 mm thick = hardware Labs black ice nemesis gtx 360 
     
    Thick rad = hardware Labs black gtr 360 
     
    And yeah, i'm a big fan of hardware Labs, cant think of any brand that makes better radiators.

    Processing of the side panel which provides the logo with leds rgb

    Preparation of stencils prepared with silhouette studio, decomposition of the logo
    1 the! A! red which will be worked with celophan for food rolled to give the effect marble / wear and get as close as possible to the original logo
    2 areas in black which will be painted later













    the dabbing creates this interesting effect another light layer of red will be applied.































    next phase of the RGB logo that will be applied on the bulkhead.

    Nah.  I said
    As in your first post comes off as someone talking to a puppy they found on the side of the road and are giddily waiting to see how the dumb little thing will play along to you game
     
    Also, calling me some BS on the "it took hours to download a game" 
    600mbs could download 200gb in 45 minutes, so even the biggest games ever made would take less than an hour (should those numbers be truthful) and the additional 50% speedbump you have now is effectively meaningless for consumers

    Tubing size doesn't matter, I personally use the tiny 6/10mm for convenience. beyond that, the vardars are decent and the nemisis is solid.  Take your pick of fittings, it's all the same

    Damascus reacted to SpaceGhostC2C in about how much faster would w10 run if it was on ssd?   
    A commodity Sata SSD could slash boot times to 1/5 compared to an HDD. Maybe not as much in Win10 with its "pretend you finished booting" strategy, but still.
     
    Then there are HDD-specific issues like fragmentation and the need to read multiple files spread around (even if individually unfragmented) that can make the difference bigger than what a disk speed test would suggest.

    Damascus got a reaction from SpaceGhostC2C in about how much faster would w10 run if it was on ssd?   
    Depending on what metric you use, it could totally be 500%.  Local data transfer, boot times and file access could easily quintuple in speed depending on the before/after hardware

    Damascus reacted to dizmo in how much should i sell my pc for   
    Absolutely pointless to ask here, especially with the complete lack of information you've provided.
    Go to your local classifieds Compare pricing Price accordingly Sell Profit We don't know where you live, and pricing varies drastically location to location. Don't bother saying "oh, I live here" because honestly, it's on you to research your local market. The only way it makes any sense is if someone lives in the exact same place you do, and for some reason knows the market at that given time.
     
    If you want to sell online, go over to the Reddit Hardware Swap and they have a thread where you can ask and people will give what it would sell for on that forum.
     
    Can't really assume he's in a place that uses $, not to mention comparable AMD systems are pretty cheap.
    If you pay that much for used parts, you're my kind of customer ?

    Thanks for your answer and time.

    Yeah, for it is an extension cable i think this is the case. But i will make it sure before i power up the machine.
    If it fails big time, at least there is no data on the sata drive yet.
     
    Again thanks for help and have a nice day.

    Iron is Iron... no, not really.  Stainless steel is a broad term, and there are a vast number of variants that will/will not work for a loop.
    This is a chart representing the galvanic series.  You can use it to broadly determine the compatibility of different alloys/elements.

    Damascus reacted to WereCat in Are VR headsets that aren't OLED worth the hassle?   
    OLED is a huge trade off in VR because of the subpixel count.
    If both OLED or LCD has the same resulution, the LCD has much higher subpixel count which is very noticeable in VR and results in a lot less screen door effect.
    Effectively, despite the same resolution, LCD appears as a higher resolution due to higher subpixel count.
