    Its funny how someone can think advertisements are worth as much as original content from HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.

    Although, MSI has some weird problems with their bios regarding 3000-series cpu:s. Id wait for the max-boards with larger bios chips or buy a cheap x570 one.
  3. thinwalrus
    Its called noisy because on some reviews they run psus in hotboxes with 34-45C temps. So accurate if you live without aircon in India?

    That masterwatt bronze is nowhere near high end.

    Covered io is useless in most cases as it heats up the vrm more with that plastic stuff on top of it.

    Just get an MSI b450 board. Most of those have biosflashback on them so you can update to a 3000-series bios without a supported cpu or ram. MSI b450 pro carbon is quite nice. Wlan and bluetooth with vrm comparable to most under 200€ x470 motherboards.

    G2 never went through same tests on reviews. People here are a bit quick to draw conclusions on one model failing to praise others that have not even been tested. Corsair rmx series is usually priced very close to g3 and is a better buy with 10 year warranty.

    15C inside your house?

    I would get Arctic p14:s or Noctua redux 140:s / be quiet silent wings 3:s if you want to spend more. RGB from led strip if necessary. Most RGB fans are quite bad, even the popular youtuber dual light loops from corsair are garbage for the price. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-ll120-rgb/5.html

    Those have horrible value. You pay 15€ per fan for the brand.
  11. thinwalrus
    Its not. You need noise normalized testing to determine whats good and what is bad. You can boost a shitty cooler with 2000rpm fans and make it very loud, or you can have a quality cooler with 1000rpm fan and 9dB lower noise(3dB doubles loudness).

    I guess push pull on rad would provide more air for gpu too.
  13. thinwalrus
    Move the rad to roof exhaust and put 2 fans in front for intake. 2080ti is a 300W card and needs good ventilation if you want low'ish temps.

    RMX has 10 year warranty, Whisper M 5 years.
  15. thinwalrus
    Well it has not been tested anywhere to the same extent as G3. It could be a lot worse on those minor issues g3 has. I would not dare to recommend mystery psu:s if at the same time I made nitpicking complaints on others.
  16. thinwalrus
    Even at that price there would be many better options in most countries. And that swap is a downgrade.
  17. thinwalrus
    Should be 10 years. And you dont have choose between those two. There should be Bitfenix Formula/Whisper m, Corsair rm550x for about the same price as Seasonic Focus plus. All of those are a lot better than the mystery MWE that has not been reviewed by any major outlet. Elite is low tier brand for caps. Most good psu:s are made with better ones for a longer expected lifetime.
  18. thinwalrus
    Yes, its much worse on other aspects too. Those Elite branded caps just mean it wont last that long in use. Its also horribly overpriced if its the same price as Focus Plus.
  19. thinwalrus
    "Every electrolytic capacitor appears to be Elite brand, in an effort to keep costs low" So thats a no from me.

    Try that on USA courts after they stole that robot arm "Oh, it just fell on a bag and got run over by a truck while I had it." We should make all Chinese ip free for all until they start to respect patents in China.
  21. thinwalrus
    Bitfenix Formula 550W is also an option. https://geizhals.de/bitfenix-formula-gold-550w-atx-2-4-bf550g-bp-fm550ulag-9r-a1720158.html
  22. thinwalrus
    Why? And more than likely to be more room than that 150mm.
  23. thinwalrus
    Is core temp showing accurate numbers for Ryzen cpu:s? Try the amd program instead(ryzen master)? Also that case has bad airflow. The larger model was horrible too.
  24. thinwalrus
    Take auto-voltage off. Most motherboards push something like 0.1V too much with that on. Try 1.3V, and if stable, drop 0.1V till it becomes unstable. Then revert to lowest stable setting. If 1.3V is not enough, raise voltage with the same method in small increments till it becomes stable.
  25. thinwalrus
    How do you know? All you know is it keeps crashing or lowering clocks when you test it. Even stock 9700K is about 200W on avx loads so I would bet its either the cpu or motherboard overheating that is causing throttling. You need a good motherboard if you want to push cpu near 200W:s. This is with 1,345V. 1.4V might be close to 250W.
