    Will the CPU delidding station also include substitute TIM and re-lidding? I'd hate to go home with two halves of a CPU

    I thought I read full range somewhere, thanks!

    I recently acquired a pair of these, but I know almost nothing about them, other than that they have 4 ohms impedance and can handle 16W. Does anyone know more about them, like their response range? I can't find any documentation for them.

    Looking at its specs, it isn't total overkill in as many areas as I expected for a $500 board. 64GB ram limit? https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z370-GODLIKE-GAMING/Specification

    Yeah, 1600 over 8400 just because threads. If you're getting an aftermarket cooler anyway, consider the 1600x. $20-$30 for an extra 400MHz base clock speed was worth it to me

    Using Cryorig's C7, which has a 100W TDP. The 1600x has a TDP of 95W, so it should work in ideal conditions, but the Node 202 has notoriously limited airflow. It's the best air cooler I could fit. Sometimes if I boot immediately after a heat crash it dies in a few seconds, so could be that

    I've been trying to overclock my 1600x, but it never seems to thermal throttle. Even with stock multipliers and voltage the instant it reaches 94 degrees, the computer cuts its own power. Nothing is ever damaged, though windows sometimes mentions not being shut down properly. I thought Ryzen is supposed to throttle and death at 94 degrees is making overclocking time consuming (node 202 build, working on cooling). Is this behavior normal? Notes: overclocking with Ryzen Master, monitoring with Core Temp, stressing with cinebench Mobo: AB350N-Gaming WiFi

    Thank you, Shiv78!
  12. Foiled Kongu
    Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

    After taking some measurements of the Node 202, I'm confident it can fit with a 25mm thick single-rad with a 12mm fan. A dual-rad should also fit under the GPU, but not with a second fan, so will a dual-rad with a single fan give a noticeable improvement over a single rad with fan?

    When in doubt about power consumption, pcpartpicker is your friend

    The ports on your PSU are labeled and most cables only fit in one place. Just make sure your CPU power is 2x4 pin and isn't GPU power
