  1. Why would they not be safe? Why are you thinking they may be dangerous?
  2. Sure, in a year you've paid for the card and added a couple hundred to your wallet? Well, before paying heating bills, electricity, etc. But you're not enjoying the card at all. Buying a 4090 to rent out... it really depends your income streams and if $200 or so is worth it over a year. For me, no. Or are you holding on to the coins? My 1080Ti in 2018 was $729, I mined on off hours (sleep, work) WHILE using the amazing card for every day gaming. Garnered 1/7th of a bitcoin with mining in a year. I still hold that BT, so that is definitely worth it. But more importantly, it was a bonus since I was using the card and enjoying it. I wouldn't drive a Civic while renting my Ferrari out.
  3. We are quibbling over 10%, I'll chalk that up as close enough
  4. In Florida, you do. I was noting he said Florida specifically, which I thought needed clarity since why would you say that if you didn't mean outdoor temps? The indoor ambients aren't impacted by location then And it's not a straight line, but it's damn close. Initially if ambient drops 5, you get a 5 drop for the PC. Then as ambient increases, due to the heat, so does the machine. They are hand in hand. CPU's are linear with ambient, a 1 for 1.
  5. Yes, you'll see a very sizeable uplift. If you can, grab one. If money is an issue, even the 5600 is a decent upgrade for a drop in. But the 5800X3D is the topmost gaming CPU for that platform and a great pairing with a 4070 Super.
  6. Just read this article and wanted the forums take on the misleading analysis of 4k testing. If any. Nutshell; 4k needs lower settings to show how a given cpu can achieve frames befitting a users needs, that just testing on Ultra won't. Thoughts? https://www.techspot.com/article/2837-cpu-performance-4k-gaming/
  7. What are your specs and where you? If you need help picking out a PSU, we can help with that info.
  8. Did you try plugging the pump into CPU Fan? Should be the grey one on top on most board, I think. The 2:00 minute mark.
  9. Dumb it down for me. Will Comcast notice my acquisitions?
  10. I think he asking budget for the SSD, unless you are building a new machine? Thought you were just upgrading the drive.
  11. Get the NV2, won't make any difference against the others in use. https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#A=1600000000000,24000000000000&t=0&c1=di_m2.pcie_40_x4&sort=price&page=1
  12. Florida or Montana, won't matter as people in the US don't measure ambient by outside air temps. We use our HVAC 24/7, so what is your ROOM set at? As a PC heats a room, ambient can rise depending on the room setup. My office is 5c+ warmer than the hallway outside, for example. Ambient and CPU temps are a direct relationship, not exponential. if ambient goes up 5c, then CPU temp goes up 5c. Not 10-20. That said, find out what IDLE means for your machine. What is happening in the background, as 60-65c is way too high for a machine not doing anything. Check your CPU cooler, see if it's sitting properly. Is it aimed front to back to align with the airflow? What GPU do you have, that's dumping heat into your case?
  13. Spamming for spam sake isn't cool, you've been helped twice already which covered all the info you need for both resolutions.
  14. I find this hard to believe... " replacing the pump heads default thermal paste with a Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pad , i got a 10c drop" Something else was in play here. Unless the default was dry and dead. And no, I wouldn't open a 2 year old GPU no way, no how. Leave them alone.
  15. I don';t, but he seems to want to spend $100 on fans at the cost of performance. For him, it's a great build for what he WANTS. If he wanted a pink and purple scooter, I'd paint that shit for him right now. Once you've explained yourself, the customer can buy ANYTHING they want no matter what you think. That's it. The end.
  16. Sure, great build! Rock it. It won't need a BIOS update, the board is too new to need it.
  17. So yeah, after reading all this... it IS complicated
  18. Where are you located? May be able to find a better one for same pricing.
  19. https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/HDP6z6 (RGB, but worse CPU) https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/WwttTY (NO RGB) The words "RGB, worse CPU" are all I need to know. 7800X3D is currently the best gaming CPU on the market. Getting RGB to pair with a 4080 Super instead of that is.... Yeah
  20. 7700 or 7700X? Too many variables to say one way or the other. Personally I'd rather have a 790GRE + 7700X for 1440 UW.
  21. Win11 isn't any more difficult to use than Win10. Win10 isn't simple, you're just used to it. If I showed you Win10 after Win 3.1, you'd have lost your mind. Win11 is basically Win10 anyway.
  22. This. People can't tell the difference between NVMe and SATA, they sure as shit can't between various NVMe.
  23. I'm sorry, did I miss this when you said it earlier? What fans don't work?
