I was not able to find any review of this MSI card with water cooling:

Are they any good?

linus what about closed loop GPU cooling in general?

MacOS has better power management. 

that answer is too long and complicated  ( ' -- ' )

Probably minimal if any power difference. If I had to guess OSX would be more efficient since I think it tends to have less background usage when doing light tasks, but under full load both will be identical.

huh cule

So I am a MacOS fan-

I have a windows PC

but I have a macbook (macOS mojave)

and I was wondering, does one software do better at saving energy (with all the animations on and stuff) also, has the efficiency gotten better or worse since the first GUIs

so if anyone just knows anything interesting about this id luv 2 here it

WUTTT dont let my mom see this topic she will smash all of my devices then wrap my head in lead and give me a hazmat suit

wut do you need a 2080 for? if your 4k gaming then I understand- rog is overpriced, they make good cards, but you could probably get a liquid cooled hybrid for the same price idk

Wut? Cases and boards all conform to standards. An ITX board will mount in an ATX case just fine, maybe shuffle a few standoffs. I've got an ITX board in an mATX case currently for my test bench without any issues.

yes it fits ov course and screwes in and everything, but the PSU is old and the cables are hella short

ryzen 7? seeing as you have a 1070ti you probably can achieve decent fps on 1080p - 4K gaming. The Ryzen 7 was designed for workstation because it has a good core and thread count. Overclocking it if you can is a good idea, but if you are not happy with the performace you are getting from it gaming wise, then recent Intel CPU's have a very high gaming bench, but not as good as AMD for workstations, OR you can just buy a $50 air cooler (noctua makes good ones) and then overclock it very high. My friend has a i7 8700k and a 360mm AIO and he can overclock his to 5.3 ghz with no problems. my other friend who has the ryzen 5 1600 OC'd it to 4ghz with a 240mm AIO

dunno if this helps, just my experience with OC

hey have u thought about GPU overclocking?

Was bored today and took this shot from my RTX2070  

 

what at do you guys think ? 

that would make an awsome poster

bruh pc building is like building legos  your build looks good to me! 

 if you don't care about worksation stuff at all, then you could go for a ryzen 3 2200g seeing as it is very similar performance but again, thats just me thinking on a budget.

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-2600-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3-2200G/3955vsm441832

also, rx 580 though it has 8gb of ram, 1070 is much high in performance and I have seen some cheap ones on ebay recently:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-AERO-GTX-1070/132933840372?hash=item1ef3796df4:g:QL4AAOSwDsZcT7Ky:rk:8:pf:0&LH_BIN=1

HERE IS MY $800 BUILD if ur curious :)

all in all your parts look strong enough for 1440 so yeah

Yes.

I redownloaded for the third time the windows 10 which includes both x32 and x64 images. Nothing

I downloaded an old windows 10 iso so yes, my guess was right, the new Windows 10 versions do not support for some unknown reason my laptop anymore.

huh, I sympathize, I was troubleshooting my PC for months, and I popped out a ram stick and it worked fine! To me, it looks like your computer is just not powerful enough to set up windows 10 (this happened to me when I was troubleshooting and swapped the card for a gtx 275. Now with a laptop, I have no clue. If you have a  drive with space on it, you could try saving up all your data to it, then erasing the drive and doing a fresh install. Again, Im not sure, it could be a software issue (maybe there are programs running in the background slowing down your laptop)

I'm not able to boot Windows USBs, it's stuck everytime at the Windows logo (Not spinning)

 

I changed different USB drives, and .iso images, no luck.
I even put the HDD into a virtual machine on my other PC, and here I managed to install Windows.
Plugging the HDD back to the machine still the same windows logo stuck as the USB installer.

 

The PC is a Thinkpad x60s, which is able to run Windows 7 and Linux fine, I was able to run Windows 10 months ago but it seems this is not the case anymore, did Windows changed anything like dropped support for legacy pc's??
It's a 32bit machine only, obviously the .iso is 32bit 

I already tried also resetting the BIOS

The HDD and USB led are active just a few seconds, but the logo does not change

can you still get into windows 7?

Please start using multi-quote (+ sign found at the bottom of a post) and snip large quotes.

I have merged several of your replies together for you.

Thank you

 

Um I will look into that thanks

I literally only played f2p titles, and it required a modded bios to work at all on the 295 with dual GPU's (SLI wouldn't detect through a single slot)

ouch  

moo

usb C has not come to the gaming community yet  i have a laptop with only 1 usb c port and 1 audio port

When i built my first PC, it was made of absolutely junk parts, an i7 930 8gb ram, and a GTX 295, now this may not sound like much but I saved money being 13 by sourcing old junk hdd's and i had some combination of sub 100gb hdd's.

 

I think at one point i had 6 or so hdd's and still managed less than a tb, the mistake i made was not securing ANY of them. this led to them floating around when i moved it one time and it slapped my 295, next boot only one GPU was detected. 

 

At this point the GTX 480 came out and i just opted for that.

gtx 295 is actually funny, I have the 275 and these cards were like the flagships of the time so they are actually not that bad for light gaming i was really impressed by mine lol

I built my brothers PC and... get ready for this... my friend sold me a mini ITX mobo (which are insanly tiny by the way) and I already had a FULL ATX case so, if your wondering what happens when you try to build a PC with a mini itx mobo and a full tower case, S##T HAPPENS. so yeah, my PSU is being held up some card games, and the power cord is going through a graphics cards IO slot    it also looks so ####ing ugly omg

It is depending on what you play, if it is competitive gaming then no then you would monitor but for casual games e.g. A hat in time and rocket league etc then you can go with a tv. P.S, watch this video talking about the 120Hz

omg how did I not see this video before thx so much

hes not gonna be 3d modeling on the plane dummy  he just needs to set it up again in a different country

HOWEVER if he is gonna use it on the plane then u have a very valid point lol
