  1. Yep. Not only XPG seems to be less noisy according to Aris, but it's also around 25€ cheaper. The only issue is availability, have to wait at least 2 weeks.. Ugh
  2. Just for the sake of clarification - XPG Core Reactor would be A+ tier if it had multirail, right? Trying to decide between it and Deepcool DQ-M, 650w units so multi-rail isn't that necessary
  3. 80w for 3600 (overestimation), 300w for 2080 Ti (little bit of overestimation), 50w for rest of system. 430w total, which means even 500-550w PSUs are enough
  4. Does anyone know what type of cables are used with XPG Core Reactor? For the last few days my PC has been shutting down and turning on even while doing not intensive tasks, so it seems like my PSU is starting to have issues (either that or my graphics card). Found the 650w Core Reactor for roughly 70€ and that seems like a decent deal for this PSU. Buuuuuuuuuut if I ever want to go with custom cables, I might be out of the luck, that already happened with SP11
  5. Silentium L2 Gold units don't have OTP, so they shouldn't be on Tier A
  6. There's no reason to buy headphones because of RGB because you won't see the damn thing when you use them... Therefore RGB on headphones is 100% useless. If you want pre-made headset, Cooler Master MH751. If you are ok with building your own, Philips SHP9500+V-moda Boompro
  7. Except for the fact that the only redeeming thing about Corsair LL fans is that they have metric crap ton of LEDs. As far as performance is concerned, they are OK for airflow and suck donkey balls when it comes to static pressure. So if you want manufacturers to start using common sense, vote with your wallet. You said you bought 8700k and 2080 Ti because you care about performance, but H510 Elite and LL fans say otherwise
  8. Sennheiser HD58XX Jubilee with Antlion Modmic
  9. Because people do zero research and buy fancy looking products? I mean, you are completely guilty of that too.
  10. When drivers crash, most of the time it's either black or blue screen. White artifacting screen tends to be a sign of damaged graphics card. Same shit happened to my Vega 56. Also, card can be damaged without killing it straight away.
  11. RX 470/570 didn't really have any issues. I wouldn't be surprised if GPU is being killed by that PSU.
  12. Update the BIOS. That's simply the way it is.
  13. Z gang rise up: And my guilty pleasure song as of late:
  14. May I ask why is that so? They are currently around 65$, couldn't really find anything that would compare to them at that price point. Couldn't find anything close at 100$ either. Thinking about building a headset using Ships with V-Moda BoomPro
  15. Gotta catch the attention of 12 year olds somehow.
  16. It's just that we can't really give you any concrete advice if you don't provide us enough information. Sure, it sounded kinda loud in the playback, sounded like fans spinning at high RPM, but there can be few reasons for that
  17. Would skip Strix, you don't know what kind of BIOS you will get or if the card will have sufficient mounting pressure. Ideal example of why you should never blindly trust brands. Taichi draws way too much power, resulting in high temperature. Red Devil is one of the best Navi cards.
  18. 3 120 fans in the front as intake (or 2 140 if you need HDD cage), 2 140 fans at the top as exhaust, leave the back slot empty so the beefy air cooler can blow the hot air through the vent.
  19. Arctic Liquid Freezer II would have been both cheaper and cooler, but D5 is definitely a solid option
  20. What about Fuma 2 instead? Great compatibility with RAM and it is easy to install
  21. As far as pure airflow is considered, NZXT Aer 2 are better than LLs, at least at max RPM.
  22. Scythe Fuma 2. Costs about 60$ and performs just as good as DRP4, if not better. If yo do want AIO, then it's between Arctic Liquid Freezer II and Alphacool Eisbaer (including LT). Other AIOs like Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master are a waste of money.
  23. 1. Pretty good. 2. Shit. 3. Shit. 4. Good, but Aorus Pro is better 5.Pretty good.
