looking at getting 4090 now that evga is gone maybe go asus. I see 4090 TUF is alot cheaper than the strix so much , that you can basically get the waterblock for the price difference., What would you go for? Do you think the the strix has better voltage controls or higher binning something worth the 10% price difference? Since im going to put a water block on it.

AIO cant get 95% performance. lucky to get 50%.

in world of warcraft my gpu sits around 30% usage and my fps can tank in big raid situations i noticed i have 1 thread just pegged at 100% . sometimes to as low as 40 or 50 fps. Also i have to turn the graphics down does help some. But still seems like a cpu issue? Compared to AAA titles where my gpu is just pegged at 100%.

Hi, Im considering upgrading from 3800x to a 5600x. Main game i play is wow. Which can lag sometimes in mythic raiding. (sub 60 fps) 3440x 1440. I also dont want to lose fps in AAA titles.Which i play occasionally I dont do anything on my computer except gaming and youtube so the case for 8 cores seems silly. mboard x570 Hero ram 3200mhz corsair. evga 2080ti black Custom Water Loop. Do you think it will be worthwhile? Sacraficing 2 cores for higher single core performance is the thought.

Well thermaltech p5 so no airflow issues. Here is an image off d15 thermal paste it looks good I used line method cos that's what I did on my first cpu. Also saw gamersnexus video showing how hard it is to screw up thermal paste. Also if you had bad mount wouldn't that make your cpu overheat. But only getting 10C variance when running prime 95 vs fully idle.

20 I guess.

Hi, Just did a custom loop using barrow parts. Cpu seems quite high 50-60 idle and 70 under full load. Although my noctua d15 was thermal throttling so im thinking ryzen cooks. while 2080ti is sitting at 35-40C does ryzen stay hot even under water? or is it a bad mount/cheap water block? i remember my old 4790k was like 40-50 under full load with a water cooler. PS using a 480mm thick radiator

Thanks. Last time I watercooled a pc I failed leak test and stained carpet a nice red colour so...

If I fill my loop with distilled water for a week for leak testing can I then add fluid concentrate directly into loop.should auto mix over time right? Or do I need to drain the loop mix the concentrate and fill the loop.

wait for 3000 series to drop then either get 2080 ti for cheap or next gen. i know i will be getting rid of my 2080 ti maybe .

gpu 40C cpu 70C CPU block is either crap unlikely. or not mounted properly,

i orded a cheapo one from ali express. since im sure it can measure pressure.,

These air pressure leak testers seem to be getting more popular. i ordered one for my new build. When using on whats the general rules? stay under 0.5 bar and leave for 15 minutes compared to the old method of leak testing? any other tips would be helpful.

do you think a reference 2080ti on water could outperform something like a 2080ti ftw3 with stock cooler? given the ftw3 probably has a better binned chip?

So if you were to buy a 2080ti Would you just buy the cheapest A variant chip like an evga xc. Would you buy a evga ftw 3 instead? IS there any benefit if you are just going to water cool it??? I am actually not gonna buy one. I am doing research for the 3080ti when it drops so I know which variant to get. Thanks

i have never seen 4.5ghz under any situations, normally get 4.2ghz with pbo/default/auto oc. i run 4.375ghz @ (1.2V) it took 1.4V to reach 4.4ghz

Hi, I have a radiator that i used for 2 years. ek 480mm thick one. since got new cpu and gpu so I havent gotten round to getting new blocks. just been sitting there. How do i test it or flush should i connect some clean water to flush it out before connecting it to the new parts???

I have 3800x. Didnt think it was slow..

My 2080ti cannot run wow at 100fps with 3440x1440 unless I turn a few settings down. It's not that easy to run

I have a 2080ti and first thing I do in every game is make sure RTX is disabled.

so i checked the power usage at the wall on my system. 2 Monitors 3800x 2080ti overclocked fibre box router in a gaming session 450W @ the wall wtf am i doing with a 750 W PSU

Its ddr4 it works. But 3600 cl19???? I would not buy that kit. 3200 cl16 or better or 3600cl18 or better imo.

I am interested to see what all clocks people are seeing on things like cinibench etc while at stock settings on various chips Especially to see if i wasted money on the 3800x. Mainly because my 3800x is scoring over 5000 on cinibench r20 . and reviewers were only getting 4600 on 3700x so it must be clocking lower right??? Ill go first 3800x 4.225GHZ (did get to 4.475 all core overclock with way too much voltage.)

Ideally 3700x. But 3600x would do the job. I just went from 4790k to 3800x and getting double fps.

Nice. I thought about doing that deal. But everyone said it wasn't an upgrade. So I didnt.
