  1. It seems that I'll go with the Assassin IV after all. There is no big difference between its price and the AK620. If I were to get the AIO it might affect my GPU thermals as I'd have to remove the 3 front fans.I also really like the Assassin 4 design and RAM clearance as I have high profile RGB RAM of 45mm height. I'll try several fixes for my case thermal issues and if I couldn't fix it I might liquid cool my GPU with kraken G12 and kraken x63 later. Thank you all for your help.
  2. Also I found EVGA CLC 280 AIO Liquid Cooler for the same price as the D15. What do you guys think about it? @SorryBella @tkitch @Whatisthis
  3. Yeah I also really like it and it seems that it beats the current D15 and much better look with really good RAM clearance, so I won't have to replace my RAM. I saw some posts saying that the 13600K (non-OCed) hit 100C with an NH-D15 in Cinebench. I'd like to invest as much as I can (within my budget) in a cooler so I feel comfortable and I don't really like to worry about temps. If 20 or 30 bucks more would get me a better temps I would go for it. Yes, I see. I didn't know mesh really matters that much when I got it. I'll try removing side panels and dust filter on top and check the difference. I'll see if the Assassin 4 isn't worth the difference I'll go for AK620 then.
  4. My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CZfPyK A picture for my case: PC Case Image My temperatures after playing Witcher 3 DX12 for around 5 hours: CPU Temps , GPU Temps (Current CPU hits 90Cand GPU Hotspot hits 105C sometimes and GPU Global hits 80C) Hello, I'm gonna upgrade my CPU to 13600K and I want to get a suitable cooler for it without needing to under-volt it or turning off Turbo Boost in BIOS. I've kept searching for multiple CPU Coolers and I came to a conclusion that these 4 are the best ones available for me: DeepCool AK620 DeepCool Assassin IV ( for 20 bucks more) Noctua NH-D15S (Single fan) (same price as assassin) Noctua NH-D15 (most expensive +will have to sell my current RAM and buy Corsair LPX due to insufficient RAM clearance) P.s: I tried searching for Thermalright Peerless Assassin but it wasn't available for me. Also if you can suggest a better alternative for these coolers or not-so-expensive AIO liquid cooler and I will look it up. I have provided the info above about my case and temperatures to give you an idea about how hot it gets here in Egypt and that I don't currently have and Air Conditioner in my room. My PC case is Lian Li Lancool 2 (not mesh) I added Corsair Sickleflow 3 Fan Kit but there wasn't much difference in airflow and temperatures. My current fan setup is: In front: 3 intake ( these are the fans that were included in the case) Top: 2 Exhaust (Sickleflow rgb) Rear: 1 Exhaust (Sickleflow rgb) I also want some tips to help me improve the airflow and temperatures in my case as they are apparently high. Thanks in advance.
  5. I don't want to go through the hassle of trying the software on the PC because it still needs a new HDD and a monitor and other stuffs. The hardware requirements listed on the site is not clear; for example: it says that i7 is more recommended than i5 which doesn't make sense due to many variations in the processors. In a nutshell, I have 2 options for $800: First: ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Core i5 11400H, 8GB RAM, RTX 3050 Second: MSI GF63 Thin i5 10500H 8GB RAM 1TB HDD +256GB SSD GeForce RTX 3050 Ti 4GB Both almost cost the same but the MSI has slightly lower performance in processor but better GPU and higher storage with NVMe SSD. Which do you think is more value for money and would be more suitable for my usage?
  6. Why do you think Precision is a better choice? The issue here that it's used and I don't trust used laptops to be honest so unless this Precision laptop is better than ASUS. I would get the ASUS laptop. What do you think? Yes, unfortunately I need laptop for portability. I have already a computer with higher specs but I need a laptop. The laptops you listed costs more than $1000 here and I don't want to spend that much unless it's a must requirement for the software. Someone recommend that I should spend $100 more and get this ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Core i5 11400H, 8GB RAM, RTX 3050 ,so it'll be worth it. What do you think? Yes, I thought so that's why I'm thinking to avoid it. Thanks.
  7. I want a good laptop below $1000 for this software: 3Shape Dental CAD Design . Here are some options for me in Egypt: Asus TUF Gaming A15 FA506ICB 2021: Ryzen 5 4600H RTX3050 RAM 8GB SSD 512GB ASUS Link ($700) HP Victus 15-FA0031DX: i5 12450H GTX1650 RAM 8GB SSD 512GB ($675) Someone offered me this used workstation for ($470) imported from the US and he told me it's very good for rendering: Dell Precision Mobile Workstation 7520 with i7 7820HQ and Nvidia Quadro M2200M DDR5 4GB and RAM 16GB Most importantly, the laptop should have good cooling and be value for money. I also want to know if I can upgrade both the storage and the RAM in the ASUS and the HP laptops (as I want at least 16GB of RAM). One more thing, if none of the laptops meet the recommended requirements for Dental CAD Design, recommend me other laptops with good performance but should be under $1000.
  8. I already have G.Skill TridentZ 2x8GB 3200Mhz CL16 DDR4 and I want to upgrade to 32GB of RAM. I found these RAM on sale here: Gskill Sniper X 16GB (2x8) 3200Mhz CL16 . Are these RAM compatible with my current one or will I face issues putting them together? Selling my current RAM and buying 2x16GB ram is not available for me currently (as it will cost me much more in my region and my budget is not enough). I also have to upgrade today because prices will go up tomorrow in my region, so I can't wait. Here is my PCPartPicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G28pLs
  9. I forgot to quote this post too in my previous reply which explains why my choices are limited to 3x120mm cooling kit.
  10. According to my case specs, it can take up to 3x120mm fans in front and 2x120or240mm on top and 1x120mm rear + 2x120mm above PSU. If I buy a cooling kit, I will have 3 ARGB + 3x120mm NON-RGB fans which comes with the case (6 in total). Then, I can install 3 in front and 2 on top and 1 on back. If I bought 3x140mm cooling kit, I will only be able to install only 2x140mm in front and 2x120mm on top and 1x120mm rear. Then, I will have extra 140mm fan unusable. That's why my choices are limited to 3x120mm cooling kit.
  11. I have recently built my pc in this case: " Lian Li Lancool II ". This case comes with 3 Non-RGB 120mm fans; 1 rear, 1 top, 1 front. I figured I needed to buy a cooling kit for this case to improve airflow and add a nice RGB touch. The temps during gaming for my CPU which is i5 12400f doesn't pass 82C degrees and my RX 6900 XT doesn't pass 75C (except for the hotspot which may reach 95C). I think I should move all the non-RGB fans in front as the case already have RGB in the front panel and I will add 2 on top and 1 on rear slots. Here are some of the available cooling kits for me in Egypt: COOLER MASTER SICKLEFLOW ARGB 3 Fans with Controller Fan price: $36 (Speed: 650-1800 RPM ± 10% - Air Flow: 62 CFM ± 10% - Air Pressure: 2.5 mmH2O ± 10% ) COOLER MASTER MASTERFAN MF120 HALO 3 Fans with Controller Fan price: $48 (Speed: 650-1800 RPM ± 10% - Air Flow: 47.2 CFM ± 10% - Air Pressure: 1.6 mmH2O ± 10% ) COOLER MASTER PRISMATIC MF120 ARGB 3 Fans with Controller Fan price: $57 (Speed: 650-2000 RPM ± 5% - Air Flow: 55 CFM - Air Pressure: 2.91 mmH2O ) Corsair ICUE SP120 RGB PRO Performance 120mm 3 Fans With Lighting Node CORE price: $53 (Speed: 1400 RPM ±10% - Air Flow: 52 CFM - Air Pressure: 1.45 mm-H2O ) Thermaltake Pure 12 ARGB Sync Case Fan 3 Pack price: $40 (Speed: 500-1500 RPM - Air Flow: 56.45 CFM - Air Pressure: 1.59mm-H2O ) Which of these cooling kits should improve airflow for my case the best? From my POV, I prefer the Coolermaster Sickleflow as they are very cheap with good air flow and pressure, so what do you think about them? One more thing, my front panel RGB doesn't work with Aura Sync of ASUS using Armoury Crate software. Do you thing the technician who installed my pc forgot to plug in case cables into the AURA RGB header or the ARGB header? Here is my PC Part Picker list in case you need it: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G28pLs
  12. Well I got the ROG B660-A cheaper than the MSI anyway which was a very good deal. Thanks for your help a lot. I also bought the 12400f today and the technician in the shop installed the build for me. Meh, I can't believe I finally did it .
  13. Well, I would go for the tomahawk if the ASUS ROG STRIX B660-A GAMING WIFI DDR4 was out of stock. Fortunately, it was in stock and I ordered the it for $270 (10$ cheaper than the MSI MAG B660 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4) but I checked that the VRMs for the tomahawk are the best for b660 motherboards according to as per Hardware Unboxed Thermal Test . The reason I ordered the ASUS one is because it was better sound quality and better looks and RGB and the Flash Bios button option and it was $175 more expensive in another store, so I think this makes it better value for money. I also have in my previous build the ASUS ROG STRIX Z270i and I'm very satisfied with ASUS ROG motherboards really. I still can cancel the order so if there is anything bad about this motherboard , please tell me.
  14. The issue with the MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 that It's micro ATX and I don't want to experience any issues later if I want to install any CPU Cooler ever. Also, the LIAN LI LANCOOL II MESH case that I bought has quite good space and I want to benefit from it. How is this MOBO be better than the MSI MAG B660 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 ? I don't quite understand how to know if mobos are better than others other than that they do have more slots, so it would be really helpful if you could explain it. Unfortunately, I'm on small budget but if I needed a better CPU later I might upgrade to 13600KF for example. I like to listen to music a lot and I play some competitive games and I saw that soundcard like Sound Blaster Z improves the sound quality also it's a must in high OHMs headphones if I will buy one in the future.
  15. I have recently bought the RX 6900 XT for a good deal. I almost have got all of my build except for the CPU(+Cooler) and MOBO. CPU+MOBO prices nowadays are very high reaching $1000 for 12700k bundle here in Egypt and I'm currently limited with the budget and I only have 2 choices; i5 12400f bundle for ~$450 ( CPU alone for $200) or Ryzen 7 5700X bundle for at least $490 (+$40 for cooler) (CPU alone is for $325).Is the difference (including the SAM technology for the AMD processors) really worth the 100 bucks (knowing that I might upgrade my monitor to 4k next year)? Here is my build:- https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VQTmpH One more thing, I want your opinions about which motherboard should I choose for each CPU and here is some MOBOS which are available for me: Intel: ASUS PRIME B660-PLUS D4 ($200 +$40 for wifi) MSI MAG B660M BAZOOKA DDR4 ($217+$40 for wifi) MSI PRO B660-A DDR4 LGA 1700 ($240+$40 for wifi) MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 ($250) (would rather get a full ATX mobo to avoid cpu cooler incompatibility) MSI MAG B660 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 ($280) (preferred) ASUS ROG STRIX B660-A GAMING WIFI DDR4 ($270) ( not sure if it's in stock but if it's and I decide to get the 12400f and I will choose this for sure) AMD: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI ($165) GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2 ($170 + $40 for wifi) MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ($190 +$40 for wifi) MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS ($230+ $40 for wifi) Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AX ($260) ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II ($263) MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ($282) MSI MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ($282) ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ($245) ( not sure if it's in stock but I think it's the best one) P.S:1. The 12400f comes with a stock cooler so I won't need to buy one for now (also I have this version of Corsair H60 it shouldn't be compatible but is there anyway around?) 2. I might get a sound card later that's why I need an extra PCIE for it.
