you can but if you flash different variants you'll brick the card. You can only flash 1660ti bios' and only ones with the same pcb style

Been wanting to do the same to my 2080ti as the power limit sucks always hitting that, did you find the higher power limit giving a kind of performance increase?

I have a 2080ti with a 3900x on 850W, you'll be fine...

This but swap the from front top 140mm to intake so the air cooler isn't starved otherwise you draw out the air taken in from the intake as shown below with my meshify C. Also, on the front I have 2 140mm fans and a 120mm fan, it juuuuust fit with a real squeeze. C

Nice, when in doubt go Noctua, always worth the money in my opinion

This or Noctua NT-2 but these are beating with liquid metal if you can use them... I placed LM on my laptop GPU and CPU that was 5 years old and it has literally brought the old girl back to life, the old Nvidia 870M is a damn hot GPU

I use a Meshify C as well, I have 3 Noctuas out front, 2 industrial 140mm and a 120mm at the bottom

I bought this exact one, it does only allow 120 or 92mm fans though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evercool-PB-01-slot-bracket-120mm/dp/B0737L7HX5 I personally can't fit a 120mm due to my side fans exhausting, also I would be cautious going much bigger then 92mm due to case fitment also you will be blowing the hot exhausted air up towards the CPU which isn't the best in my case especially since I have a dual tower air cooler. At the time I had considered this due to it being cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelid-Slot-Holder-slim-120mm/dp/B00OAPH76Q/ref=pd_sbs_147_t_0/262-5302212-6037964?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00OAPH76Q&pd_rd_r=4ab50147-033c-4d26-b06a-da69f1dad299&pd_rd_w=PPnLE&pd_rd_wg=1bSFB&pf_rd_p=e44592b5-e56d-44c2-a4f9-dbdc09b29395&pf_rd_r=2D5X1CMG47J8JWBEHDQ8&psc=1&refRID=2D5X1CMG47J8JWBEHDQ8 but then I was like nah lets go full Noctua

Another idea would also be to maybe consider changing the thermal paste for some LM that might aid in keeping things coolers

It's a pci fan bracket got it from Ebay for 3-4 GBP and then I used 3 of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NF-A9-PWM-Premium-Cooling/dp/B00RUZ059O I then have them connected to the Corsair Commander PRO this allows me to have them PWM sensitive to GPU temps and not CPU which is awesome.

Maybe do what I did (I now have three fitted), noise is reduce thermals keep to 60C max overclocked.

CMOS reset?

CPU can easily handle the upgrade, I'd personally get the 2070 super for that extra performance jump and overclock it to the max and then you'll be right on the limit of what your system can handle cpu wise and psu wise

I'd say 2080 or higher for sure, I know the ti's are decreasing a bit at the moment if that's in your price range and the performance bump is massive

sounds like coil whine, maybe RMA just in case it was Amazon they'll accept anything back for replacement

i'm going to say no, you'll definitely get 60fps+ but I don't think you reach 120-140fps on max with 1440

This, I'm pretty sure it is the case being grounded and the guy is carrying a static charge.

put that card under water and it'll go down in temps massively

Longer but also wider too, its a 280mm rad but also is enclosed in a plastic/ aluminium housing which adds quite a bit of extra width

The 3800x is very hard to keep under control even with extreme semi-open loop coolers like the Eisabaer Extreme with push-pull industrial Noctuas and with a dedicated Ryzen 3000 cold plate for the separate chiplets I have seen the package temps easily go above 80C on a Prime 95 running fast Fourier transforms for max heat.

Yeah I think it's definitely improved removing heat from the CPU & GPU dies which is a positive but the heatsink on this "thin" gaming notebook saturates very easily and therefore it looks like there is very little improvement from a temperature wise stance. Currently, dabbling with an under-volt on the CPU to see whether this can help the situation.

I have experience with the Extreme and I can say it's definitely better then the 420 which apparently has a piss poor pump (other internet reviews). All I can say is that for both you need a massive case like fractal design meshify S2 and bigger. You don't need to fill either and the quick disconnect tubes lose a small drop at most when opening. In terms of performance the extreme will do much better for you. Alphacool recently released a new block design so if you buy either get it from them personally as the Amazon links will not include the new block design (alphacool will only offer 20% discount from Amazon purchases).

I own a fairly old Gigabyte P35W V2 and it was suffering pretty bad for temps for CPU and GPU just under idle conditions. I removed the cooler cleaned it all out (some accumulation of dust had built up) then I placed liquid metal on the two dies after fully preparing the surfaces and cleaning them thoroughly. I placed Conductonaut on both the heat sink and the two dies (copper heat pipes), however the temps haven't improved a great deal all I can notice is that the amount of heat being rejected by the laptop is bloody immense. But, the CPU and GPU components haven't got a great deal cooler. At idle the i7-4710HQ sits at 50-60C and likewise with the GPU which is an Nvidia 870M. Under load the GPU gets to about 82C and the CPU is about 90C. Both components share the same copper heat pipe heat sink so if one is hot the other is hot as well unfortunately. My main question is does this sound about right or is something not right with those temps? For testing I ran Kombustor from MSI in full screen 1920*1080, stupidly I did not run the test beforehand with the old dried thermal paste and dust clogged computer however, I can say the amount of heat rejection from the back was less than half.

Maybe reach out to MSI and ask if the super editions of yours follows the standard 2080. I personally wouldn't take the risk of putting a water block on it without fully knowing. For my 2080ti bought a bunch of noctuas blowing under the GPU to direct cold air into it and some drawing hot exhaust air out. With an overclock my temps peak at 60C, maybe if I put LM on the die I could get a few more degrees cooler but essentially 60C peak temp is pretty impressive considering the stock cooler is so-so.

Most the Ventus cards tend to be reference PCB my 2080ti Ventus OC is
