    And who designed it again ?

    I'm in Canada, mostly looking on Newegg. I found the Freezer 33 at around 55$ with tax and shipping. I'd like to spend as little as possible of course, below 60$ would be perfect. I'd like something cool, quiet and that looks nice. This one is in my opinion one of the few that look good (the Dark Rock 3 is also nice but twice the price) My question is more about the difference in performance versus what I have and probing to see is anyone knows of another product I might have missed. I'm currently overclocked to 3.7GHz. I would have loved the RGB version but I won't buy a new one off Kijiji just for that.

    Hi everyone, I have a Ryzen 5 1600 system that is currently cooled with the out of the box Wraith Spire. I was wondering if the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE would be a good upgrade or if something else would be better, if I should upgrade at all. Note that I'm building in the Phanteks P300 so clearance can be an issue. Thanks, Alex

    Hi all, I'm in the process of selecting parts for my first build and I'm unsure about the case fans. This is the parts I'm planning to buy : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/XzWGpb I would like to add 2 fans, ideally black, to the front of the case but I'm a bit lost in all the fans available. I'd also like to keep price and noise as low as possible. I saw this Rosewill one which looks interesting, but I'd like your opinions on it: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200067 Thanks in advance

    I'm starting to consider buying Floatplane just to see it now....

    Yeah me too. If we could have a silent version like the P400 that be super nice.

    Bummer. I am planning to upgrade in early September and I would have liked to go Freesync to save on the monitor cost. AMD really needs to push the high end market more.
  10. The Physicist
    Do you know any other case in that price range that would allow for a vertical GPU with tempered glass ?
  11. The Physicist
    Any reason why ?
  12. The Physicist
    Hi everyone, I am currently shopping for a case and I'm hesitating between a few : Phanteks P400S TG NZXT S340 elite Termaltake Suppressor F31 TG Now the first two are well documented and I'm leaning towards the P400s. However, I can't find a lot of review of the F31 and I was wondering if any of you knew that particular case or had any experience with it. I do like the fact that the GPU can be installed vertically, but this does come at a higher price point (~65 CAD incl. PSU cover). Thanks in advance
  13. The Physicist
    Thank you so much ! I should have mentioned the screen, my bad. I will take all of this into account when I take my final decision !
  14. The Physicist
    Is the air cooler better than the liquid one I had ? And I'd like to know your reasons for that case, just because I'm not clear of the advantages of any of them beyond the look. Also I would love a 21:9 screen, but I can wait for that investment as I already have a 27" 1080p 60Hz.
  15. The Physicist
    I do have access to a cluster for the heavy workloads, running some computations in a VM while watching LTT on youtube is a daily task.
  16. The Physicist
    So the CPU upgrade is worth 150$ then ?
