I have noticed in several games that when the game is loading assets, my frametime spikes (causing drops in fps). This is with an i7 9700K, RTX3080, 32gb ram, only M.2 SSD's, 750watt PSU... I tried everything from reinstalling windows, to cleaning/installing drivers, to even disabling certain SSD's and running the game/OS from one single drive. Nothing seems to help. I get these spikes for example in Hitman 2 where I get 120fps stable at 3440x1440 except from when the game is loading something during a level (for a fraction of a second it stutters, sometimes even holds for about 1 sec!!). Same for No Man's Sky, pretty decent fps but frequent spikes in frametime when loading assets (especially noticeable when warping to other systems).

Btw, currently in doubt between the Edifier Luna 25HD and the Presonus Eris 4.5 BT

Currently using Creativeworks T20 speakers which are several years old. Pretty good, but daughter would like to use these for her bedroom so I'm looking for a decent upgrade. Budget around 250 euro max. Size doesn't really matter, sound does. Mix of gaming and music/youtube. No subwoofer/surround stuff, just a 2.0 setup. The Edifier Luna looks pretty nice, but they seem pretty old so not sure if there's better stuff out there. Advice?

Sorry, I mean a NZXT X63 All in one. Which has a 280mm radiator. In my case for example, no way to mount this on top due to no ram clearance.

Currently own a Define R6 case with a NZXT X63 mounted in front with 2x140mm intake, and one 140mm outtake. Nothing else. GPU (Asus RTX3080) gets pretty hot during load (75°C and throttles), so it's clear there's not enough cool air coming our, nor hot air getting out. So I'm thinking about swapping to a different case which allows me to mount the 280mm on top (I have Corsair Vengeance RGB ram, so clearance might be an issue) so I can then mount 2 or 3 fans in front for intake and let the cpu/radiator do the outtake. Which case would fit this, with my ram? So X63 radiator on top as exhaust, front 2 or 3 (rgb) fans and 1 rear outtake. I want to keep my system as cool and as silent as possible. Currently using Noctua NF-P14s fans but they don't seem to generate a lot of cool air through the radiator.

For whom it may concern, installed a new X63. 1 outtake fan 140mm, 2 intake fans behind the radiator (NZXT), fan speed at around 40%... Idle temp +- 32°C-35°C, liquid temp 28°C, this is with door closed but case open. So kinda affirms my AIO was failing.

Anyone got some more ideas? Re-arranged some stuff, re-applied tim, tried with open case/open front etc... Idle temps now around 40°C-45°C, running BF:V for about 30mins puts cpu near 80°C, liquid temps are around 40°C.

Never had an issue with my pc, just installed 2x8gb extra ram and since then (although it stays the same when i remove the extra ram), my pc won't sleep. When I turn it to '"sleep mode", usb devices turn off but the fans keep spinning, and my ram and RTX2080 rgb lights keep on. A hard reset seems the only way to "wake" the system. Any idea?

Just installed a 2nd set of 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance Pro memory, and now my X62 cpu cooler won't fit anynmore, the ram pushes against the tubes when mounting the cpu cooler. I have not installed it upright, so the tubes coming out on top of the cpu cooler and logo 45° rotated. Looks like shit, but also wonder if this is harmful. Got two options: get a new cooler, or send the ram back to Amazon. Mainboard=MSI Z390 ACE.

So a little update. Been doing a lot of testing/rebuilding/re-arranging. But results are about the same : 40°C idle (fluctuating quite heavily from 37°C-45°C or more). Stressed in games around 65°C, IntelBurn goes as high as almost 90°C. Tried swapping the radiator up/down, putting the intake fans in front of the rar or behind the rad, reapplied thermal paste...Nothing seems to help. Idle hovers around 40°C (liquid temps show around 31°C - room temp +- 24°C). So... normal temps for my build? Or AIO slowly giving up? Only thing I have not tried is putting on my Dark Rock Pro 3 I have laying around here, but I don't think that would make a big difference (and not sure it will fit anyway with my ram). Any help? Suggestions?

I hear zero noise from the rad or pump, so I suppose there is no air trapped even though I have it upside down

No, tubes are on top (always have been btw). Just as a comparison, my RTX2080 (MSI) temps idle are 34°C.

Already did (about a month ago, Arctic Silver 4). Liquid temp (idle) is reported 33°C.

Noticed quite high temps lately, especially under load, so decided to do a bit of testing with IntelliburnTest. X60 with front mounted radiator, with a pull config with 2x140mm 1 outtake rear, 2 outtakes top (140mm) Room temp <> 24°C Idle temps : +- 40°C Load temps : average around 65°C, intelliburn puts them at 97°C max (!) NZXT cam is running in performance mode. Shows 2000rpm for the pump, so I guess it's running. But I have a feeling it's really not cooling my cpu efficiently (anymore). Anything I can check?

Well, just tried some stuff. Since my X60 is a 2x140mm radiator, I cannot mount it at the top, only front mounting is possible. So got it there, with 2x140mm intake behind the radiator. Then I have one 140mm as exhaust in the back. Now, since this doesn't provide a lot of cool air inside the case, I can put two Noctua's at the top (2x140mm) as intakes. Do you think this is possible? Or is having 2x140mm fans on the top as intake just useless?
