  1. @Intergalacticbits I'm pretty sure they won't fit in my budget ? I know those, Lian Li is making those while InWin already has them. Can be Daisy chained. JayzTwoCents has used them a lot in his builds.
  2. @paddy-stone @PopsicleHustler So connect 4 AiO fans in exhaust to same CPU fan header and 3 front intake fans to one system fan header and 1 exhaust rear fan to the other fan header ? Seem legit. Thanks for all your help !
  3. So, the CPU has a 360 mm radiator AiO (Asus LC360) up top of the case (Nzxt h710) and additional 3 pwm noctua fans in the front and one more at the back, all 120mm. The motherboard is the Strix X570-E, the AiO pump connection is understood, how do I connect the 3fans of AiO rad and 4 other fans to the mobo? It has 2 chassis fan connectors and 1 CPU fan connected and one CPU_OPT fan connector. Also, do fans require separate connection for power and PWM control ? If yes,how to power them and enable PWM control ?
  4. Hey, eGPU is not entirely that great an option. I recently heard in an LTT video thunderbolt 3 would merge in with USB 4. And I'm like - then why do we need TB3? Anyhow, to take full advantage of an external GPU, you will need to shell out at least 200$ for an eGPU enclosure, and even more to have additional USB ports or a larger power supply on it. https://www.windowscentral.com/best-egpu-enclosures?amp Check this list out. I would suggest him to opt for the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2070 Gaming box for 650$ (other options don't include the graphics card, only the enclosure — so in that case the cost will be more ) . Add a decent 350$ monitor with high refresh rate and FreeSync support (since G-Sync is costly and now Nvidia GPUs support FreeSync monitors) and also because running back the graphics to the laptop will hurt performance by 20-25% while to an external monitor it will be 10-15% and you're looking at above 1000$ And the cheapest thunderbolt 3 laptops are no less than a 1000USD themselves https://thunderboltlaptop.com/cheapest-laptops-with-thunderbolt-3/ For a 1000$, you can make a PC that beats that setup. I would suggest him to get a 600$ range laptop right now. Possibly this one : 1) a below 500$ choice which can't be beaten : https://www.amazon.com/HP-Business-Quad-Core-i5-1035G1-Bluetooth/dp/B07ZV8LQSC/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=10th+gen+intel+laptop&qid=1575707409&sr=8-8 2) same goes here : https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-14-Quad-Core-Bluetooth/dp/B081Q3DXD4/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=10th+gen+intel+laptop&qid=1575707438&sr=8-6 3) my personal choice, he can also game lightly with the Nvidia MX250 in it https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Display-i5-10210U-802-11ax-A515-54G-53H6/dp/B07XJRGKKD/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=10th+gen+intel+laptop&qid=1575707438&sr=8-5 After some time, he came save 700$ for a pc like this https://pcgamehaven.com/best-gaming-pc-build-for-under-700/ Or even 1000USD for this https://techbuyersguru.com/1000-gamingproductivity-pc-build which is completely bonkers and so frickin better than eGPU If you want, and he agrees to my idea, I can provide a more detailed PC build for him for 700-1000USD including monitor and peripherals (if needed) which will be better than the above two as I'll ration the money between different parts better as a setup and not just a PC build.
  5. Yes Newegg takes price on taxes and shipping it's essentially almost the same with local prices if u have a local option with minor differences (with taxes and shipping included)
  6. U can save more by opting for a non RGB AiO or a 240mm AiO instead of the 280mm I gave. You can also reduce storage to 512gb but M.2 only. U can also reduce RAM to 16GB (I only have 32GB because Star wars Jedi Fallen Order recommends it)
  7. So u can go for CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X (3700X is not even adding to the cart for some reason) for 329.99 USD (3700X goes for 299 USD, if you can get it) Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite for 169.99USD (the wifi version goes for 209 USD but the price difference is not justified, you can get a WiFi adapter for less than 20 dollars, even less than 10) Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC (triple fan cooler) goes for 719.99 USD Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB for 149.99 USD RAM: G.Skill TridentZ Neo 32GB (2×16GB) 3600MHz CL16 for 169.99USD Case : Phanteks P350X for 69.99USD Power Supply: Corsair RM750X 80+ Gold for 119.89 USD CPU cooler : here, you can either go with Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AiO 280mm liquid cooler for 139.99 USD OR a Noctua Chromax (so black colour) NH-U12S 120mm air cooler which would be as good but u wud need Arctic MX-4 thermal compound which together costs 69.95+9.99 USD in case of the air cooler u will need to buy two 120mm front case fans for intake and one 120mm is included for exhaust at the rear. For the AiO (all in one) two fans of the CPU cooler will do the work of intake so with AiO the price comes to 1879.12 USD and with air cooling 1831.79 USD (with fans and air cooler and thermal paste) Add 8 bucks for this WiFi adapter Or use ethernet if possible. I think this is AS GOOD as you can go. Nvlink - or SLI as it was called - is only an enthusiast thing, and for a low budget definitely can't be done. It's also slowly dying. So no need to invest more in an SLI enabled motherboard, I got u the cheapest X570 board available, it's still the new X570 chipset, so it's already too good and for that price why downgrade to similarly priced last-gen B450? I mean, a Ryzen 7 3800X and an RTX 2080 Super. I mean, DAMN. Alright now I see u need it under 1500USD . For 1733.95 USD u can get a RTX 2070 Super with three fans. For around 1660 USD u can get 2070 Super with two fans.
  8. In that case, I've often heard Alienware doesn't give the best cooling. It really heats up, and "screams" just as the CyberPower review says too. I suggest you immediately look into a PC build guide - It will take a moment for any of the vast majority of members here at this forum to immediately suggest a full PC build plan for your budget, which you may specify or we can take the prices of those two PCs as the limit. The CyberPower review says that if you add a couple fans, it will increase cooling and reduce notice, so you can go down that way - it's ok, no one here recommends it I'm sure, but if you make a PC yourself, you'll learn a lot and installing new fans will be a breeze, which it will not be if you have never made a PC. You know what I'll immediately come up with a build in US dollars with Amazon prices.
  9. I don't know how much wattage your AMD FX processor will draw, but I'm sure that no current single consumer CPU+ single consumer GPU system will need more than 650W, if you over clock or add SLI, no more than 1000W. And your specs aren't that high (these numbers are for an i9 and 2080Ti). So, yes 1300W is more than enough. Get that Phanteks power splitter.
  10. Hey, nice to see a fellow Indian here. I would not suggest a dual triple monitor. The cost increases which is not suitable for having bezels in between. Even if they are thin. However, if your experience with them says you don't mind it, I wouldn't say anything. I would ask you to update me with prices on these monitors, as they are the same product from different companies. 1920×1080, VA, 144Hz, 1ms response time, FreeSync so perfect for a 5700XT. There are multiple sites like PrimeABGB, MD computers, Vedant computers for buying components. I'm going to provide links from MD computers and Newegg international. It appears u will be spending 64k INR for a dual setup or 96K INR for triple monitor, for either of them. I would suggest you buy Acer Aopen 27HC1R-P One comes for 19K, and the only difference is this has a 4 ms response time, and unless you're a competitive gamer whose life depends on it, it won't matter. You will have to pay 57K for the whole setup, which means you save up to 40K INR on monitors giving you money to upgrade other things (- you could potentially switch to an RTX 2070 Super or 2080 and now Freesync works with Nvidia GPUs too so that won't be a problem. ) Anyway, I would personally abstain from multiple monitors unless for productivity. Here's on option for 48K on sale - the LG 34UC79G (alternate link ) with FreeSync, 2560×1080 and 144Hz. And response time is 1 ms, and you're good to go for gaming as long as you're below 5ms. Here is a super ultrawide option I don't recommend.. Samsung LC49HG90DMUXEN 1.18 lakh INR Asus ROG Strix XG49VQ(for Newegg links u have to add them in cart to check taxes and shipping) 1.2 lakh INR These ain't bad !!! These are goood. Especially the one which costs 83k INR with shipping and taxes. Samsung CJ890DKN 92K INR Samsung C43J890 83K INR Acer EI491CR 92K So, I would suggest the Samsung C43J890 (it's a super ultrawide!)!! Or u want triple monitor, go with Acer 27HC1R-P. The LG34UC79G is not a bad option for *budget* ultrawide.
  11. It shouldn't be a problem. I think G-Sync settings in the Nvidia control panel can be modified for one monitor or both or if u face trouble u can choose G-Sync for windowed mode in the G-Sync panel and max out the window size if you feel it isn't as immersive as full screen mode. I would suggest asking more expertise from @TVwazhere All the best!
  12. Just out of curiosity, will a dual 120mm rad equipped RTX 2080Ti from EVGA - this one : https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2589-KR OR A triple slot built in AiO 2080 Ti from Asus https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-MATRIX-RTX2080TI-P11G-GAMING/ Will either of these cards (with the radiator of the Hybrid Kingpin card in the bottom rad mount?) fill in the triple PCIe slots of the Ncase M1 Rev 6? (Just out of curiosity)
  13. Buy all components now on sale - saves money in expensive CPU and motherboards, except GPU and buy the new 5900XT/3080Ti when it comes out . For the meantime , use the 2070Super, or just a 2070 or maybe 2060 Super. Turn down the settings. Or use your older 1080 ultrawide for the meantime but buy the the super ultrawide on sale. And the games. Might be a while until u can take full advantage of a game. But patience is gold. This is what I would do.
  14. This build is great! I would suggest you use an RTX 2070 or 2070 Super which I hope fits in that same price of the 5700XT.
